mans
They tried s. wreck .da sonfcr-

to which he is willing to go to keep
the Genoa parley intact at least
long enough to get together with the
Russians.
The Germans are once more in
official good standing having ac.
cepted the Allies demand that they
withdraw from the commission dis
cussing the Russian question.
In effect their punishment for vio-
lating the confidence of the Allies
was slap on the wrist. They gos
what they wanted a separate and
advantageous treaty with Russia,
which potentially is a threat to the
rest of Europe, in a military as well
as an economic way. And the Allies
seem helpless to deliver counter
stroke.
Allies Are HaHperesi.
Germany, by double-crossing. the
Allies, also made it much more diff
cult for the Allies to deal with the
Russians. If the Germans had not
made secret Russian treaty tie
Allies and the Russians probably
would have reached an agreement. By
this time.
Difficulties now are greatly in
creased although Lloyd George IN
sists he has great confidence that an
agreement will be reached
The worst result of the German
Russian incident 50 far as this con-
ference is concerned is that it prac-

following his repeated arrest for
vagrancy by city police officers. Ole
sim Sampia, which is this French
Canadians name, as nearly as Earle
Boyes, city magistrate, could make it
out, is translated St. Peter in the Eng
lish tongue, according to Sampia.
Sampia AYERS that his mother was
Roosevelt's sister. His. further claims
to this distinction are not clear, how
ever. Asked if he was married, Sam.
pia told Judge Boyes that he could
not remember. Asked if he had evei
been married, he replied that he did
not know.
