Few Fall by the Way
in First Cut of Fred
Parents Colby Squad

Naterville, Me, April 11.-(SpeciaD
The Colby baseball squad received
the first cut Monday afternoon. Only
a very few men were asked to turn in
their suits because practically every
man out has been making a good show
ing thus far Captain Williams said
yesterday that there would be no spe-
citic lineup until after the Maine game
as it is impossible to judge accurately
SO early in the season. OF course there
has been the usual lining up of the
men by the various onlookers who have
not had much experience in judging
baseball men. but an official lineup
will not be attempted until it is neces-
sary to choose the men for the long
trip that starts Saturday.
Coach Parent will use the Maine
game for workout for the men in or
der that he may get a real line on
some of the greener material when it
is under fire. Some of the freshmen
are doing great work in practice
games, but when they get into a real
game they will not stand the test.
one of the men was cut off the
squad by the request of Track Coach
Ryan because of his ability as a high
jumper. There is so much keen COM
petition for first base and there seems
to be so much good material that
Coach Parent and Captain Williams
were willing to grant Coach Ryan
request. Coach Ryan is working every
minute to get his team in shape for
the big meet and he should have ev-
cry track man who has more ability
in that direction than in baseball.
The workout was held with Captain
Williams in charge as Coach Parent
was unable to get back in time for
practice. 1t was a cold. drizzly ses-
sion and the players went in early.
The weather has been against the

Allies Resent
Pact Between
Germany and Russia

Genoa, April 17.-(By A. P.)-The
signing of treaty between Germany
and Russia, which nullifcs the Brest-
Litovsk treaty and re-cstablishes
full diplomatic relations between
these two countries on basis of
equality, has caused profound as
constituent and resentment among
the Allied delegations. The ministers
Of the powers which convened the
conference decided at a meeting held
tonight to have a committee of ex-
perts examine this treaty tomorrow
morning TO determine whether it con-
flicts with the Cannes resolutions or
the treaty of Versailles.
Subsequently the converting powers
will meet with Poland. Czecho-S SLOW
aka, Rumania. and Jugo- Slavia TO
ascertain the views of the lesser
powers and deal with the report of
the experts.
The British and French delegates
declared tonight that they considered
the signature Of the treaty a dis
loyal act. Apparently it may import
the conference.
1t is stated that the signing Of the
treaty, which took place at Rapallo
yesterday, was unknown to the AL
lied leaders. when Lloyd George,
Barthou, Schanzer and Theunys met
this afternoon to consider the reply
which the Russians might make to
the conditions imposed m that oo,,p
try. but as soon as the delegates
learned Of the treaty, their programs
was changed and the situation, which
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-04-18

is considered extremely grave, fully
discussed.
NJ. Barthou, head of the French
delegation, is seeking further in
structions from his government at
Paris and declared that he would not
sit beside Russians in semi official
meetings, while Nj. Colrat, French
under-secretary of state, speaking to
the correspondents. said:
II have taken all necessary meas
ures to cancel the meeting of the
third commission. over which l pre-
side, as the members of the present
one do not want to sit on the same
commission as the Germans and Rus
slams"
The action of the Germans and
Russians on first announcement had
an almost stunning effect on the Allies.
Premier Lloyd George said he knew
these countries had been negotiating
for months, but was not aware they
had signed treaty until late this aft
ernoon.
The situation is so critical that the
most prominent delegates are reserv-
ing their opinions until after the eX-
perts examine the new document,
which is generally regarded in Allied
circles as an infringement of the
Genoa agenda because 1t has to do with
reparations and affects existing trea-
ties. The French have insisted that
neither of these things should be done.
Clearly there are stormy times ahead.
The treaty provides for remuneration
of war expenses, damages and expendi-
lures incurred through war prisoners.
and remuneration, also. of all claims
of German individual or the state it.

sumption of consular and diplomatic

lated on the most favored nation prin-
ciple and the rights of the nationals

! the other are to be conserved.
The two governments will assist
each other in their economic Difficult
tics, and the German government de-
clares itself ready to facilitate Geo
monte contracts between private en-
tcrp"iSes in the two countries.
