the petitions Of Morgantown ave-
nue. residents for brick and as
phalt, the county com mmissioners

cision in favor Of thirty foot
brick pavement with five inch

THE HAGUE, July 12.-(By The
Associated Press .)-The morning
session OF the conference on Rus
sian affairs which was devoted TO
the consideration of the private
propcrty question broke up amid
considerable confusion, many OF
the delegates declaring the Russian
repJies meant that the collapse Of
the Hague conference was 1neylta-
ble. No decision as to this, how
ever, had been taken up to 8 o clock
this afternoon.
Maxim Litvinoff OF the Russian
delega ton said on leaving the con-
ference chamber that further meet
ings were unlikely, as the non-Rus-
SLAMS insisted upon the Russians
making promises with regard to
property compensation and giving
guarantees which were impossible
until the Russians knew what credit
and loans would be granted M.
Litv:noff added that the peace pact
would hold for one month after the
last meeting. q
In the conference session today
President Patyn, after hearing the
Russian explanation concerning the
restitution of confiscated foreign
property, announced that no useful
purpose would be served in contin-
uing the discussions.
Sir Phillip Lloyd-Greame Of Great
Britain said he would converse
with his colleagues and endeavor
to determine whether any good
could come from continuing the
discussion OF the commission on
property.
Sir Phillip found the replies OF
the Russians unsatisfactory, be-
cause they declined to make any
promises concerning compensation.
