HAGUE BECLOUDED
BY BERLIN CRIME
Conference Delegates Mourn
Rathenau, Who Was
TactfuI Member.
BY the Associated Press.

THE HAGUE, June 24.-Foliowing
Field Marshal Wilson in London, the
assassination of Foreign Minister
Rathenau in Berlin cast a heavy
gloom over The Hague conference,
many Of whose members were closely
associated with DR.. Rathenau at
Genoa. The German foreign minister
was thrown with the entente dele
gates there more than was any Of the
other German representatives. be-
cause Of his thorough knowledge of
English, French and Italian, and his
wide grasp of the financial and eco
nomic situation of Germany.
In spite OF the treaty of Rapallo,
signed by the Germans with the So
Wet Russian representatives on Eas-
ter Sunday, which created such feel
ing of bitterness against the German
delegation, DIR. Rathenau managed to
keep up good relations with the for
mer enemy delegations. and by his
unfailing courtesy and charm did
much to prevent the Genoa confer
ence being wrecked.
Controversy Averted.
BY his silence when the entente
decided that Germany should not
participate further in the discussion
Of Russian affairs after the Rapallo
treaty was signed, Dr. Rathenau un-
doubtedly averted controversy
which might easily have broken up
the conference at time when the
entente delegations were enraged by
the sudden announcement that Ger
many and Russia had come TO terms
independently of the Genoa gather
ing.
DIR. Rathenau was the chief source
of information for the press from
the German delegation at Genoa. and
he ingratiated himself with the pol.
glot mass of correspondents by Civ
ing audiences in four languages and
patiently repeating his statements in
order that the press of the world
might be served.
Tail and Dapper.
The late foreign minister was slen
der man. more than six feet tall and
always Immediately dressed. The
crown of his head was bald and he al
ways had the remaining hair closely
cropped. His head had a domelike
appearance and the cartoonists de-
lighted in accentuating that feature.
He wore a mustache and vandyke
beard.
Many of DR.. Rathenaus photographs
bore likeness to the portrait of
Premier Lenin Of soviet Russia. Both
had slightly slantfng eyes. but in real
life the two men were quite dissimilar.
Lenin was the older and the shorter
man.
