ALLIES TO MEET
TO DECIDE WHAT
ACTION TO TAKE
SignatOries of Versailles Treaty
Will Determine What to Do
in Event Germany
Fails to Pay.
tsy The Associates prsasl

GENOA, April 26-Announcement by
the British delegation that a meeting Of
the signatories of the Versailles treaty
to determine upon action in the event Of
Germany's failure to meet her repara-
tions obligations at the end Of May was
the chief feature of today's conference
activities. This call for meeting OF the
allies was inspired by Premier Poincare's
Bar LIE Duo address intimattng that
France was prepared to act alone II the
allies failed to support her in enforcing
the treaty
Poland replied to Russia's protest
charging the Poles with violating treaties
with Russia and seeking to undermine
Russian sovereignty. The Polish reply
asserted that the Poles were endeayor-
ing to assist in the reconstruction of
Russia and had no thought of violating
their treaty agreements with Russia.
While the leading statesmen assembled
in Genoa were Consulting each other IN
what kind OF a reply they should make
to the BoIsheviki counter-proposals and
what would be the probable scope Of the
non aggression pact which It is proposed
to submit to the conference, the experts
here from many lands were hurrying on
with their technical work connected with
economies, finance and transport.
The transport commission In final
session recommended the urgency OF the
powers adopting all possible measure in
concert to improve the transport system
OF Europe. The League Of Nations was
asked to invite the nations whether mem
bers or non-members OF the league to
work together on technical matters furth-
oring the cause of transport.
The experts insist that important
things have already been done at Genoa
in the way of improving conditions; these
have largely taken form of arranging
for future conventions. but It is pointed
out that the present convention including
"a states has brought about knowledge OF
actual conditions in Europe. which is
certain to prove beneficial for future
amelioration. Much is expected from the
currency and general financial meetings
which viii be held at London and Paris.
The exact form OF Mr.. Lloyd Georges
proposed pact has been the subject of
discussions among the leaders, as they
wish to introduce a measure strong
enough to be genuinely effective in re-
ducing to minimum the chances OF war.
The Washington four-power pact is fire.
quently referred to as an example on
which this project may be based.

NEW YORK. April 2e.-New York
police today nabbed the second sus-
pected rum runner that has entered
the harbor in the last "a hours.
This time It was the steam lighter
Ideal which was captured after a wild
chase by two patrol boats, along the
Brooklyn shore, volley Of pistol shots
fired by the police and a hand to hand
fight on the vessels decks, in which
night sticks and revolver butts were
freely used.
Monday morning It was the former
subchaser 1o1, renamed the Fidus, that
was caught and whose captain explain
ed his empty hold by stating that
whiskey he was taking from Bermuda
TO Montreal had been stolen by pir-
ates.
The crew of the Ideal reported that
they had taken aboard their cargo OF
LIQUOR from a three masted schooner
lying off Motauk point.
Dry agents, who have been busy
strengthening the barrier thrown along
the Cana dian border TO stop the flow
of LIQUOR into the United States seem
ed to be impressed with the marine
activities of the rum runners this week.
Some expressed the opinion that,
damned to the north, forbidden fluids
were rolling In from the east, finding
the sea route less obstruoted than the
land.
Today's confiscated cargo was l6OO
cases OF excellent rye. It was OF
brand much OF which has reached
New York from Baltimore and dry
agents are seeking to establish whether
the schooner which the Ideal met had
put into the Maryland power for its
supply. Revised valuation based on
prevailing prices of $50 case made
the cargo worth $4,000.
United States Attorney Green who
has been investigating the Fidus case.
expressed belief that instead OF having
been raided by pirate craft off Long
Island, the ex-subchaser had transfer
red her stock Of liquor to the fishing
schooner Commaehe which was over
hauled by revenue cutters off Atlantic
City yesterday.
No liquor was found aboard the
Commanche but burlap bags filled
with Scotch, alleged to have been
