GERMAN CHANCELLOR
CONFERS WITH LLOYD GEORGE

Genoa, May 4-The German chancei-
lor, DIR. Wirth and the German foreign
minister, DR.. Rathenau, were summoned
to Premier Lloyd Georges villa today
and remained for several hours in con-
ference with the prime minister, Lord
Birkenhead and Sid Edward Grigg. Both
Germans and British were cncommuni-
catIye regarding the subjects discussed,
but rumors are current that plans were
considered for ameliorating Germany's
reparatons situation.
The English delegates have announced
that they still adhere to the suggestion
for a meeting of the signatories of the
Versailles treaty either at Genoa or q
neighboring city before May 81 to take
under advisement measures which may
be necessary respecting the German rep
arations payment due on that date,
which Germany has announced inability
to pay.
The longer the Russians study the
memorandum on Russian reconstruction
the less it SENS to appeal to them. Ra-
kovsky, Tchtcherin and Litvinoff have
expressed their surprise at some of the
sections, and the divergence between the
allies caused by France and Belgium
holding out on article six has greatly
strengthened the Russian position.
1t is expected that the Russians will
reply to the memorandum on Saturday
meanwhile they are using their advan-
j tage skilfully. Their experts are digest

RAPALLO TREATY DOES NOT
VIOLATE VERSAILLES PACT

Paris, May 4-The allied reparations
commission, it was officially announced
this evening, has failed to find that the
Rapallo treaty between Germany and
soviety Russia was violation of the
treaty OF Versailles.

note which was forwarded to Germany
this evening. The note points out that
the commission assumes that Germany
has not given up, under the treaty, any
rights to property upon which the allies
have first lien, and warns Germany that
the commission will watch closely to see
that. the Rapallo treaty does not inter
fere with the due fu1fillment of the pro-
visions of the treaty of Versailles.

ESQ OLD WOMEN IN PRAYER
AT MASS FOR RICHARD CROKER

New York, May 4.-Bent and wrinkled
women and old men-25O of them, and
most of them poor-knelt in prayer to-
day for Richard Croker, who died recently

soul at a requiem mass In the Church of
st. Ignatius Loyola. There was no eulo-

old women and men gathered outside and
spoke tenderly of Mr.. Croker"

NOW UP TO RUSSIA TO
DECIDE ITS OWN FATE


Geno. May Acceptance by the Rus
SLAMS of the powers terms will crown
the Genoa conference with success, de-
clared Baron Hayashi, japanese ambs-
sador to Great Britain. in an interview
today.
The conference has practically done
its work, and it only remains for Rus
sia to give her answer, said Baron
Hayashi. If she accepts the powers
terms the Genoa conference will be one
of the successes of the world. If the
Russians do not accept it will be use
less to prolong the conference, and the
soviet government must accept the full
responsibility.
However, even if Russia does not
agree, the fact remains that the con-
ference has done excellent financial and
economic work. Principles have been laid
down which, in any case, are bound to
affect Russian policy. The Russians
know the views o. the civilized world
now, and these viii sink into their heads,
even if they do not agree at present.
The soviet authorities know that Eng1
land is the only country from which they
are likely to get money, and in the
event of a change in the Russian re-
gime no Russian government can ever
complain that the allies have not shown
great moderation
