Genoa, April 19.-The German dele
gates and experts have not yet been
able tic find a formula whereby TO
compromise with the Entente powers,
without sacrificing the Russo-German
treaty, although they were in session
at a very late hour tonight. Efforts
are being made to have the conference
formulate a Russian policy in which

conference approval and removing the
cause of hard feeling.
The plain language of Premier
Lloyd George to the German states
men today over the treaty incident,
which at one time threatened to dis
rupt the economic conference, was be-
lieved to have cleared the political
atmosphere. but as neither the Ger
ma reply to the Allies nor the Rus
sian reply regarding acceptance Of the
conditions TOR the restoration OF Rus
STA, was forthcoming, the situation is
still considered critical.
Some of the ncutrals described the
Germans as embarrassed as to how to
find a way out Of the difficulty. Mean
time the work OF the conference is
blocked. The neutral states i have

the conference be discussed in the
commissions and not in private con-
%versations among the chief delegates.
To this the leaders rejoin that pre-
liminary meetings are advisable in or
der to expedite the labors of the con
ference. 1t is expected that once the
Russo-German controversy is disposed
of, the machinery of the conference
will esume operations. The an
nouncement that j. y. Morgan will
join the group of bankers to discuss
tional loan for Germany has created
an optimistic feeling for the future
finances of Europe.
NJ. Barthou of the French delega-
ton tonight confirmed that Premier
Lloyd George had adopted a strong
attitude at today's meeting with the
German foreign minister, DIR. Rattle
nau.
NJ. Barthou. who is kept closely in
formed as to what Mr.. Lloyd George
Is doing, said there was no room for
equivocation On the part of Germany;
there was no middle course If the
Germans insisted on maintaining the
treaty, the French could not deal with
them on any Of the commissions cou-
corning Russia.

between France and England on the
question involved" he added. II per-
