GENOA, April 3o.--A review of the
past week of the conference shows the
inauguration of concerted efforts by
the representatives of all the powers to
rebuild Russia. The disinterested char
acter of the preamble of the memoir
andum which will be presented to the
Russian delegation as well as its prac-
teal conception of the true state Of
affairs in Russia has brought express
sions of appreciation and praise. The
hope everywhere is held that the re-
construction of Russia is now fairly
under way, for although economic dis
aster has almost paralyzed her re-
sources, it is believed that it is not too
late to prevent total destruction, if
timely assistance is given.
Premier Lloyd George, who referCed
so emphatically recently to the po-
tential danger to Europe arising out
of frontier disputes, which would agi-
tate Europe from the Baltic to the
Black Sea, desires that the matters
shall be arranged at Genoa.
The conference has assumed such a
broad aspect that it is predicted it
will require another months work. TT

when the old political leader re-
marked, I'm ready to go now" A

ceived by the widow is one from her
mother in Oklahoma.
Mr.. Garrett said today that he
came to Ireland last December when

days before he passed away Mr.. Croker
began to sink.
Everyone in the Croker household
realized that the end was not far off,
but did not think it would come so
soon.
