CONFERENCE TO
OPEN APRIL 10
Italy Does Not Make Elk.
pected Request For a
Delay
(By The Associated Press,

Paris, March 6.-April 10 has been
definitely settled upon as the date for
the opening Of the Genoa economic
conference. italy, from whom a re-
quest for delay had been expected
owing to the extended cabinet crisis
last month. informed the foreign Of
fee today that she would be ready on
that date.
The French government will have
five representatives at h opening OF
the conference. one of whom is quite
likely to be Premier Poincare himself.
The Italian note announcing readi-
e to proceed on April 10 caused
Eid surprise at the French foreign
office. as it had been unofficially said
that Italy would not be willing to en-
Ger the conference during Holy week.
regardless of whether h was ready,
but the news is greeted with ~satisfac-
ton, as it is realized that the problems
to be discussed are momentous and
imperative.
The present French government
feels it was unfortunate that the
French delegation as an entity could
not remain at Washington throughout
the conference for limitation of arma-
ments. n an endeavor will De made
to avoid a similar situation at Genoa.
The delegates will be chosen from
among prominent French statesmen
holding full Plenipotentiary powers,
but whose public duties do not neces-
state their presence in Paris during
the period of two or three months
which, in French opinion, will be the
duration of the conference.
Premier Poincare will not be able
to remain for more thar a few days
owing to the fact that President Mil
lerand will be absent on a visit to the
French North African possessions and
protectorates.
The meeting OF the finance minis
ters of France, Great Britain, Italy
n Belgium on March 8, will be
merely for the purpose of discussing
the distribution among the allied
powers of the PREPARATIONS payments
already made by Germany.
With respect to the meeting of the
foreign ministers of the allied gov
ernments in Paris on March 20,
France il anxious for the earliest dis
cussion Of Near East questions, as it is
feared in official quarters that with the
return of spring and the disappear
ance of the snow, the roads thus be-
come practicable, the Greeks and
Turks will resume hostilities, which
will make the work of the foreign
ministers more difficult.

navigation course, and it is open to
any student upon entering the univer-
sity, Prof. Leavenworth said. No pre-
vious ship experience is necessary to
enroll in the class, he added, although
for the most part, engineers, former
aviation students n those having some
practical ship experience have taken

"The subject is not a difficult ono
and n term is sufficient to touch on
all the major navigation subjects in
theory" Prof. Leavenworth declared.
Actual compass work and astronomi-
cal observations are practiced in tho
class room here. With the actual boat
experience on he. water, the course is
very valuable"

SUBSTANTIAL CITIZEN GONE

Today Baraboo was il. mourning for
William j. Power, a resident OF this
city during the full course of his Sc
years of life. The esteem in which
he was held could be no better ex,
emplifled than by the large number
who gathered to show their respects
at the last rites. Representatives of
many lodges to which Mr.. Power be-
longed marched with solemn tread be-
fore the casket bearing his earthly
remains, all with the same thought in
their mind-that Baraboo had lost a
good and substantial citizen.
To have successfully conducted a
business in the same location for the
unusual number of years that Mr..
Power did, following his father, who
started the business in the same spot
al the close of the Civil war;, is as
strong a testimonial of his trustwor-
thiness and sterling qualities as he
might wish to leave behind.

AMERICA FIRST
GANFIELD PLEA

William A Garfield, republican can
didate for United States senator
against La Toilette, passed through
Baraboo yesterday on his way to
Portage where he spoke yesterday
afternoon. On account of his time
being wholly taken for the day Mr..
Gasfield was unable to deliver an ad-
dress in this city although officers
of the Sank county fair association
had invited him TO be their guest and
many here wished to hear him speak.
At Portage DR.. Garfield spoke to
large body of people that filled
the court house and held their closest
attention through an hour of intense
heat. According to the Portage Demo-
crat he certainly pleased his hearers
with his views and his easy rendi-
ton of them.
Speaking on a street corner at
Reedsburg on Wednesday night DIR.
Garfield was heartily cheered by the
crowd who heard him when he said
81 would tonight call upon myself and
you to pledge ourselves anew to our
country, the very best country in all
the world. Let every woman and
man be loyal and true to our flag,
our constitution, our government, our
country" With the above words he
concluded his discussion of La Fol-
lette's war talk in his campaign.
Reports from various towns and
cities where DR.. Garfield has spoken
indicate that he is making remarkable
Roadway in his campaign for the no
mination of United States senator
and that he is winning over former
La Toilette supporters wherever he
goes.

HOLD MEMORIAL
SERVICES FOR
REV. SCHOELLER

A union memorial service for Rev.
T. w. Schoeller, late pastor of the
Evangelical church and whose funeral
was held in Jefferson Sunday was
held in the Evangelical church Sun
day evening and was attended by
many. Rev. Henke had charge of the
service and the musical numbers
were given by the male quartette com
posed of Messrs. Mold, Bump, Jones
and Roberts, Rev Hotchkiss gave the
opening prayer and the first address,
giving his testimony as to the influ-
ence the life of Rev. Schoeller had
had upon his own life.
This was followed by Rev. Rade-
macher's address from the words, 81
have fought good fight, l have
finished my course / have kept the
faith" saying This could be truly
said of Rev. Schoeller." G. A. Briggs
then gave an account of the death
and also the funeral attended at JEFF
ferson. Franklin Johnson gave tes-
timony as to the regard and love the
members of the First M. E. church
had for Rev. Schoeller. Rev. Henke
told of the patience and faithfulness
and especially his work among the
children and how he had been able
to build up a fine Sunday school. The
speaker called attention to the
record when out of an enrolment of
1873 there were present Sunday, Aug
1s, 173. He made a strong plea for our
children saying, Save q child and
you not only save a soul but you
save life"
Rev. w. W. Moore brought mighty
message saying in part, 1.-THE secret
of Rev. Schoellers life was in his
belief in a Christ who could save to
the uttermost." He showed how no
life can be complete without the
Christ who can give to any life, vic
tory, and that Jesus said II am the
way, the truth and the life," Rev.
Moore said he was not so much con-
cerned what or where heaven is but
the man who took Jesus as His way
was sure that the ending or the ter
minus must be right for it was the
way Jesus lead.
Rev. Savage was not able to be pres
ent on account of a service he had
planned in Freedom and Rev. Coontz

Aurora, H. This was a service that
