ISLANDERS ARE
IN POOR SHAPE

~ NAT GEIsMAR

"A battle it for a king. . struggle
that will bring together two teams
Of excellent calibre, will be the at
traction offered to those rabid
football fans who attend the Rock
Island Galesburg game tomorrow
afternoon ct Douglas park. The
Galesburg aggregation is coming
to this city seeking revenge for the
defeat handed it last year by the
Islanders on the Siwash lot. Ths
college boys have team that they

The Islanders for the second

the fray In a crippled condition.

{ The locals chances to win de-

the backfield plays in good or bad
form. The Islander line Is as
strong as any front wall the Local
institution has ever put out and
there is not much doubt about
stopping the Galesburg attack il
they are backed up good enough
by the backfield. Injuries which
shave worked havoc in the Rock Is.

sexpect to win just the same. At thu

taking the affair very seriously.
The team will line up about thu
same as they did last week al
though the condition of some Of thu
men may keep them out when thu

Leading Nations Would Reserve Right

GenOa.-Prime Minister Lloyd
George Of Great Britain and Foreign
Minister Schanzer Of Italy addressed
Monday a strong appeal to the Rus
sian representatives at the conference
here, urging them to accept the allied
memorandum in its main points avd
promising Russia an international
loan, with the understanding that the
lending countries would thus provide
funds for the reconstruction of Rus
sia.
The allies would claim the right to
make sure, however, that the money
loaned was actually invested in the
work Of reconstruction.
1t was asserted that altogether the
proposed loan would amount to 3OO,.
100000 gold francs. It has been de.
clared that the Russians were ask
ing for 3,OOO,OOO,OOO gold rubles, or
twenty-five times as much us the al
lies offer.
The Russian delegation had pre-
viously issued a statement denounc-
ing the efforts it alleged France and
Belgium had made to wreck the con.
ference. The statement called atten-
ton to the fact that these powers,
which were predicting that Russia's
refusal to accept the memorandum
would break the conference up, had
not themselves signed the memoran.

Genoa.--NO American oil town had
greater oil excitement than Genoa has
mad over the rumOrs that various oil
agreements have been entered into by
the bolshevik delegation. Petroleum is
gushing all over the Genoa conference,
nothing has created such stir since
the Germans and Russians handed to
the surprised conference their Easter
treaty.
Baku literally has been moved to
Genoa, and Azerbaijan has been put
on the map for diplomats who for
merly had little idea where that re-
public on the Caspian was located.
Certain districts never heard of until
this week are being discussed glibly.
The Russian delegation has denied
that 1t has made any contract for the
sale OF Its oil output. Everybody from
NJ. TehitcherIn down has denied r.
ports Of all contracts. Colonel J. w.
Boyle, a Canadian officer, who repre-.
sents the Royal Dutch aud Shell com.
panies here, which are reported to
have signed contracts with the sOviets,
has issued repeated denials from the
sick bed.
The British government also has de-
MED that contracts have been made
with its knowledge, but the French
correspondents will accept no denials.
and are describing "the alleged treach-
cry" which 10 supposed to have given
the British control OF the Caucasian
output. 1t was expected that oil
would be the greatest prize which the
Russians could offer at Genoa; con-
sequently there is willingness to &C.
cept any rum0rs. and the air Is full of
them.
M. Krassin, although denying the
completion Of any sales or develop
ment agreements. frankly states that
he Is negotiating with oil companies
In many countries. The Belgians for
merly owned many oil properties in
the Baku fields, and their objection to
the Genoa conferences plan for deal.
ing with nationalized property in Rus
STA belonging to foreigners is based to
a considerable degree on their fear of
losing their interests in Caucasian
oil.
The soviets say they are willing to
grant concessions for oil development
In small sections and are anxious to
make the development regional, SO as
not to allow 1t to be mOnopolized. But
there seems to be an absence of con.
cession hunters at this time, as pros
pective investors are not willing to
take over the property which formerly
was operated by other owners until
definite arrangements are made for
soviet recognition and the reimburse.
ment Of former owners, which would
lave the rights unclouded.
