1t is. He injected several humorous
stories into the address, and was
given a rising vote of thanks at its
conclusion.
Dr.. NJ. P. Bergeron was elected a

VIRGINIA BOY, MISSING
THREE YEARS, TRACED
TOOLD HOUSE IN OHIO
Special Dispatch to The star.

RICHMOND, Va, April IA
J Three years ago Edward Cannon,
then eleven years old. disappeared
from his home in Henrico county.
and until yesterday he had not
been heard from. Harris G
Armentrout who was q so5ourner
in the Cannon home for while.
left at the same time that the
boy did. Sheriff Syndor of HeNri-
co, has been informed that Armen-
trout and the boy have been
caught in Loveland. Ohio. where
the two were occupying an old
house. The man and the boy are
understood to have given their
correct names. Little is learned
here as yet how long they have
been in Ohio, where they have
been or how they have made a
living.
The Cannon boy Is now four
teen years old. Sheriff Syndor is
making arrangements to go. after
the boy just as soon as he can
get away from his court, which
Is now in session.
Oflcers made diligent search
for Cannon and Armentrout
when they disappeared. and the
members of the boys family
spent large sums in trying to To-
cate him. No one appears to
know anything of Armentrout or
his antecedents.

charge that the taxation was lower
in Germany than in France. 1t Is
principally because of this :, feeling
that Germany invokes the appoint
ment of debt-control commission.
which. 1t is hoped here. will include
representatives Of some of the neu-
trail nations and perhaps even of the
United States. Neutral diplomats in
Berlin look upon Germany's reply as
a rather pitiful plea. 1t is the first
one which mentions the financial con-
dition of the average citizen, who.
according to the note. has to pay
Twenty-Five times more for his bread
than in ordinary times. sixty times
more for coal. ninety times more for
clothing. 100 times more for linen and
furniture and corresponding prices for
other things. ALI this is quoted in an
effort to prove that Germany cannot
pay the additional !, ,0oO. .000.0 gold
marks ($23S, ,000. .000) in taxes which
the reparations commission demanded
in its note of March 21.
1t is said here that both Chancellor
Wirth and Foreign Secretary Rathe-
nau will discuss these questions pri-
vately with the British and Italian
delegations at the Genoa conference,
and in connection with Germany's re-
ply will make strong plea to Prime
Minister Lloyd George and Premier
De Facta to hear Germany's plea at
the conference.
