DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LLOYD
GEORGE AND BARTHOU SOFTEN
BelgiaT1s are Less IrrecOnciIiable
and May be Persuaded to
Approve Memorandum
tsy The Assoeiated Pressl

GENOA, May 9.-Genoa passed an
uneasy day speculating on the effect
the Russian reply to the allied memor-
andum would have. on the future of the
economic conference. The Russians
were busily engaged tonight in COM
pleting their reply, which it is ex-
pected win be presented tomorrow.
M. Tchitcherin was in Genoa for
only short time; then he and the
principal members of the Russian. dele
cation gathered and began putting the
finishing touches on the reply. which is
is believed will be helghly conciliatory
and will open the way for continual
ton of the negotiations.
The differences between Premier
Lloyd George and NJ. Barthou have
apparently been softened somewhat,
and there are many indications that
the Belgians are less irreconcilable in
their attitude and may be persuaded to
approve the memorandum to the Rus
slams on condition it be made clear
that Belgian property in Russia must
be restored to the former owners If
possible and cannot in any case be
transferred to others.
Mr.. Lloyd George passed almost the
entire day in conference with Sir
Laming worthington Evans, Sir
Philip Lloyd Greame and other adj.
vfsers. The row between the prime min
lister and the Northcliffe press over
statements, published in London have
simmered down. and the conference
atmosphere is more pacific, although
extremely foggy.
The German and many neutral dele
gates joined in the negotiations with
Signor Schanzer, the italian delegate,
to have the Russians temper their re-
sponse in such way as to avoid dis
ruption of the Genoa gathering. which
seems less likely tonight than "a hours
earlier. There is less electricity in the
air and general feeling of confidence
that the Russians will modify their re-
sponse so as to make it impossible
for the French and Belgians to bolt
without further negotiations.

P~LeSiOSdurus Amt

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March 2e.-There
is no plesiosaurus in Patagonia, as has
been STAGED in dispatches coming from
Argentina. according to Dean c. H.
Eigenmann, head of the zoology depart
ment Of Indiana University.
IF I were a betting man." said DR..
Eigenmann, I should venture dollars
against the very idea Of the hole IN a
dOughnut there are no plesiosauri in the
lakelets of Esguel in the Andes OF Pata-
gonia, latitude 4S degrees south at an
elevation OF 2,30O TO 2,6OO feet. But the
man reporting them must have seen
something and by all means the proposed
expedition should try to determine what
It was.
IF it should prove to be q diminutive
descendant Of the plesiOsaurus OF old, the
entire region about the lskellets should be
set aside as an international cosmopolitan
park. if the patriotic Argentinians should
consent even to this alienation Of what
would be a unique spot in the world.
The idea Of killing, capturing and trans
porting plesiosauri from a small lake to
the metropolis of South America is a sac
? lege.
The lakelets are less than ninety miles
from the Pacific, only about ten miles
east Of the crest Of the continental divide,
which rises from 5000 70 5000 feet. The
largest one is less than two miles long.
The entire region OF the Andes In this
part OF South America Is full Of lakes.
glaciers and volcanoes, enough to inter
est the most blase without resurrecting
plesiosaurl, lead n extinct these mil
lions Of years. Yet nothing is impossible.
and I wish I could join the expedition"
