Wires Swamped With Business
Genoa, April l3.--The telegraph
and telephone lines radiating from
Genoa have been virtually swampe1
by the immense amount of business
incident to the economic confer
ence, and many complaints over
transmission delay have been re-
ceiVed by the Italian telegraph ad-
ministration.
The administration today, on the
delays, pointed out that on the
single day. April 10, there were
dispatched from this city kilograms
totalling 10000 words. On the
same day the telephone calls to the
Italian towns showed a total of 1OS
hours, and TO towns abroad twenty

Delegates Rush Through Streets.
At all hours c. the day and night
the delegates age rushing through
the streets on their way to group
meetings and from ten until six
o'clock every day the sub commits
sions are grinding away. Delegates
who are members of more than one

proxies, as three or four of those
bodies often meet simultaneously.
Mr.. Lloyd George and the other
British delegates were keenly dis
appointed at first at not finding a
golf course within reach, but thus
far they have had no time for rec
reation other than that afforded by
the sporting game of keeping the
conference from blowing up under
the pressure of the Russian dele
