ROTARY HEARS BACK
TO SCHOOL PLEA

The importance of the back-to-school
movement, and the benefits which a
community derives from having it's
businessmen take an interest in the
bows were explained to the members Of
the Rotary Club at their weekly lunch
con today at the Barbara Worth by
Scout Chief w. II. Stevens and two
members of Troop 3. Mr.. Stevenson
outlined the objects of the back-to-
school movement in which Rotary Clubs
all over the country are interested,
saying there is a woeful shrinkage each
year between grammar school grad
yates and high school entrants, and
high school graduates and college en-
rollments, proving that most of the
various graduates quit school instead
of continuing their education. 1t is to
counteract this condition that the diff
ferent boys organizations are endeavor-
ing to keep the boys in school and have
asked the cooperation of various civic
bodies and the businessmen in particu-
lar. The Ell Centre Rotary Club is to
lend its support to the movement and
listened with interest to the address
of Mr.. Stevenson.

how the camp is organized and govern
ed, by a combination of military rule
and city commission plan, the camp
having its mayor, chief of police. dis
trict attorney and other officers found
in a municipal organization.
Professor j. L. House of the high
school faculty spoke of the work being
done by the high school "Y," and ask
ed cooperation of Rotarians in impress
ing on boys the necessity of leading
clean and upright lives and playing
life 8 game absolutely on the square,
stating that the good example set by
the businessmen of community is the
best influence boys can have to be-
come good citizens. About 80 members
were present to enjoy the talks and

The men had peviously refused to lay
down their arms.
Wait a minute Blizzard said,''
Smart testified. "Inside of five min.

United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 4. - Senator
Borah of Idaho today carried to the sem
ate floor his fight for the deportation
from the United States of General Greg
ory Semenoff, Cossack chief.
In his speech, Borah described to the
senate from records of hearings re-
Gently conducted by the senate labor
committee, atrocities alleged to have
been committed against Siberian peas
ants by Semenoff's troops, and the at
tack by Semenoff's $ army of destruc-
ton on box car containing American
troops.
Charging that Boris Bakhmeteff,
ambassador of the long dead kerensky
government'o of Russia, has broken faith
with the American government by us
ing for his personal use $l87,OOO,Ooo
loaned him from the U. S. treasury,
B0rah. urged, Bahkmeteff, "if he is act
ing in good faith TO waive diplomatic
immunity conferred on him by Secre-
tary Hughes and testify before the
senate labor committee.
Borah also charged that Secretary
Hughes is ssshielding' Bahkmeteff by
according him diplomatic immunity to
which he is not entitled. This shield
ing Of Bahkmeteff results in shielding
General Gregorie Semenoff, Cossack
leader, whose deportation Borah is
seeking, and whom Borah today called
the most colossal brute in the world.
Borah declared he could obtain testi-
mony from a priest Of the Greek church
to- prove that Bahkmeteff organized a
corporation which bought real estate
in New York, Chicago and elsewhere
with portion of the $lS7,OOO,OO0
loaned by the United States and never
repaid. -.
'"The question for the senate, J"
Borah said, els by what theory we
threw around this man, whose govern
ment has been out of existence five
years, the shield of diplomatic immun-
ity to which he is not entitled and
who has some dealings with man who
murdered American soldiers in Siberia,
and who is now under investigation
Bahkmeteff never was the proper
ty accredited representative of Rus
sia," Borah charged.
"For this reason,'' Borah continued,
"he is not entitled to the diplomatic
immunity accorded him by Hughes,
which relieved him from tcstifying at
the senate labor committee investi-
cation Of the acts of Semenoff.
He related how Bahkmeteff with
such credentials as he possessed got a
total of $1S7,729,750 out of American
treasury, between July 1917 and Nov
ember II. The first loan of $25, 900, 900
was paid to Bahkmeteff July 6. 1917,
one day after he was officially re-
ceived here, Borah said.
Aside from the validity of Bahkme-
teff's credentials Borah said, he did
not see how any ambassador could rep
resent government that did not ex-
ist. He cited numerous instances in
statements by American public officials
from former President Wilson down to
show that the United States govern.

United Press Leased Wire

GENOA, May 4.-The Genoa confer
ence tottered on the verge of complete
collapse today.
Premier Lloyd George through con-
ferences, struggled to avert the crash.
The French and Belgians threatened
to bring the whole structure of the con-
ference to the ground, while the suave
Russians appeared to be quietly waiting
to complete the destruction.
The soviet delegation, which has in
dicated it will reject the allied propos-
ais, is playing its waiting game in the
hope that an open breach between
France and Great Britain will give Rus
sia an opportunity to throw upon the
French all blame for a collapse.
The Russians also hope to negotiate
secretly with the British as they have
with the Germans, because of the atti-
tude Of France.
France Accepts Peace Pact
PARIS, May 4.-France today agreed
to join Lloyd Georges proposed pan
European pact Of non-aggression.
The cabinet met and decided to adj
here to the proposed 10 years truce,
with a single reservation that all
Frances rights under the Versailles
treaty shall be respected.
The cabinet instructed the French
delegates at Genoa to negotiate lmme-
diately with the Belgians and to draft
proposed changes in the political com
mission g memorandum to the Russian s
already delivered in order to safeguard
French and Belgian interests.
The French, however, retained firmly
their attitude of opposition to the al.
lied note to Russia, which was adopted
yesterday.
Premier Poincare threatened to re-
sign, it was authoritatively stated, un
less his determination to back Belgium
in this regard was unanimously ac'
cepted.
The French press today openly
charged that Lloyd George had the note
framed in this way in order that the
secret deal of the Shell interests in Rus
sia might be facilitated. 1t charged
that Belgian oil interests will be robbed
of former possessions in Russia which
will be handed over to the British group
for exploitation.
