Cut Of Two Squadrons
In British Air Strength
Estimates for Coming Year
Slash Normal Service and
War Liabilities

LONDON, March II (By The Asso-
ciated Press). - Drastic reductions in
the estimates for the air force for the
coming year were announced to-day.
The estimates provide s9,935,500 for
normal services and es59,5oo for war
liabilities. Last years figures were
s15,909.O00 for normal services and
9l,471 900 for war liabilities.
A reduction in force equal to two
squadrons is proposed.
The estimates provide for an appro-
priation of 93,733,0 900 for services in
the middle East, which sum is to be
repaid by the Colonial Office to the
Air Ministry. The staff for the coming
year will include 31,176 men, against
40,88O for the previous year.
Beyond the reduction of two squad
rons the government agrees with the
recommendations of the Geddes econ
omy committee that the equivalent of
three additional squadrons should be
withdrawn from the joint service of
the army and navy and allocated to
home defense

Pre1niers Must Confer
On New Genoa Aspect
Regular Sittings Probable After
Easter Despite French
Attitude
Special Gable to The Tribune

/Copyrght, 1922, New York tribune Inc
ROME, March 1.-THE French Pre-
mier's decision not TO attend the Genoa
international economic conference ne
cessitates an early meeting between
Premiers Facta, of Italy, and Lloyd
George, of Great Britain, who will be
the principal leaders at the gathering
The date for this conference between
the premiers has not been fixed, but
it is felt here that it must come soon
as there are many details to plan for
the general gathering.
In government circles it is said that
after the formal convening at Genoa on
April 10 and preliminary business
session on the following day, the con-
ference will adjourn until the Tuesday
after Easter, when the regular sittings
will begin.
Leaders of the Little Entente nations
have agreed to abide by the Allied de-
cision not to discuss international
treaties at Genoa, but they are still
asking that the German reparation de-
cisions be discussed.
The committee in charge Of enter.
tainment at the conference is planning
to house thirty-nine delegations. Az
hotel Accommodations in Genoa are in,
adequate for such an army, the viii
lagos on all sides will be called upor
to provide space for the delegations
The Russian Bolsheviki will be housed
at Santa Margherita, 20 miles dowr
the coast.

Soviet Minister Calls
European Press Biased
Tchitcherin Complains to Poin-
care That Russian Govern.
ment Is Misrcpresented

PARIS, March II (By The Associated
Press) Tchitcherin, the Rus
sian Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs,
complains in long radio dispatch sent
to Premier poincare that the situation
of the Soviet government is being mis-
represented in the press of western
Europe and that their alleged calum-
nies evidently are being inspired by
the bourgeois government" The dis
patch adds it is feared in Moscow that
the Russian representatives at the
Genoa economic conference will find
themselves confronted with decisions
regarding Russia which already have
been taken at conferences of the ex-
perts from which Russia was excluded.
M. Tchitcherin declares it is possible
for Russia TO enter into normal rela-
tions with bourgeois countries provided
it is treated on an equal footing with
them.
The essential factor Of the present
Soviet policies, NJ. Tchitcherin says, is
a desire to create in Russia conditions
favorable to the development Of private
initiative in industry, agriculture, COM
merce and transportation. He adds
that the defeat of the Sovets enemies
abroad and the suppression of counter
revolutions in the interior will permit
it to extend the property rights of in
dividuals. The Minister calls attention
to the suppression of the extraordinary
commissions in Russia which formerly
were regarded necessary to the strug-
gle of the Soviet government for

on the Reparatons Commission, and
then it would be in position to have it's
claims settled.
Senator Poindexter held that for the
United States to be so represented
would be "involving US in world diff
ficuties." To this Mr.. Underwood held
the United States had a responsibility
it could not overlook in winding up the
great war.
This claim, shall call it our right,
said Senator Lodge, has nothing to do
with the Reparations Commission. 1t
was an agreement made under the arm
istice. 1t stands wholly apart from
the Treaty Of Versailles and our own
treaty with Germany. To attempt to
avoid it now is mere technicality.' y
He denied absolutely the right Of the
Allies or anybody to "turn over funds
the claim to which rests on the arm
istice."
81 agree" said Senator Underwood,
"but the only way we will ever get the
money is to be represented on the Rep
arations Commission"
'Mistake" That Wasn't Made
Senator Robinson read an interview
with former Governor Frank 0. Low
den in Naples, saying the United States
made a mistake in not joining the
league and in not participating in the
Genoa conference.
at is quite evident that no mistake
was made in not nominating him for
President at the Chicago convention" "
observed Senator Borah.
Referring to Senator Underwood s
j.. .G Nofr
Senator Borah said the Senator from
end, and | think he is accomplishing
it day by day" He pointed out that
the United States has representative,
Roland w. Boyden, who, he said, was
acting as ''full-fedged member Of the
reparations commission"
Senator Underwood insisted Boyden
was "a looker-in." He predicted the
United States would be drawn into the
reparations commission by "the inevi-
table logic of the situation"
Senator Norris condemned retention
of the troops on the Rhine and refusal
of the Allies to permit the United
States claims to be paid. "There have
been many times in history" he said
"when diplomatic relations have been
broken by causes of less moment" He
predicted that this meant no payment
for keeping the troops in the Rhine
region, and urged that every American
soldier be withdrawn. II hope all OF
them will come home" said Senator
Norris.
~ hope so, too," said Senator Lodge
81 hope the army bill will provide nc
pay for those maintained on the
Rhine" added Senator Norris. He pre-
dicted that if the United States yielded
to the Allies on this question it would
yield when they refused to pay the
debt
Senator King little later served no.
tice there would be fight against
keeping the marines at 27,O0O, the fig.

Among the saloon passengers was
Brigadier General William Mitchell,

who had been abroad four months in
specting the air work Of the principal
European countries.
General Mitchell deplored the heavy
loss Of life on the dirigble Roma off
Hampton Roads, but said it should not
deter the United States from further
experimental work with dirigibIes. He
said that the names Of those who lost
their lives would go down as bright
spots in the worlds history. The gen

development of air service abroad and
that airplanes were being used much
as railroads are being used in this
country.

Lillian Russell, the actress. She had
been abroad three months, travelling
through England, France, Germany,

DETROIT, Magch 17.--John D. Dodge,
millionaire spec der, was back in the
Detroit House OF Correction tonight
after day spent in fruitless efforts
to obtain his freadom. His attorneys,
however, still weEA attempting OBJ
tain his release from the 6ve-day term
imposed by Judge Bartlett yesterday,
at which time the young millionaire
was also fined $l00 and forbidden to
drive an automobile in Michigan for
one year.
Dodge was returned TO the city
prison after Judge Jayne, in Circuit
Court, had dismissed the writ of habeas
corpus issued under which Dodge was
released this morning. He was once
more dressed in the prison uniform
and will be set to work at some form
of manual labor tomorrow, unless his
attorneys succeed in effecting his re-
lease This is not probable, as the
Supreme Court at Lansing late this
afternoon decided that Dodge must
serve the sentence.
Dodge had restless night in the
House of Correction, part of which he
spent on his cot in a corridor with
forty-nine other inmates and part in
the prison infrmary.

In Fear Of Iyphus,
Berlin Holds Up
Russian Parcels
Postal Employees Refuse TO
Handle Mail Not Disin-
fected; To Halt Spread of
Plague in Central Europe

BERLIN, March II (By The Associ-
ated Press) All letters and parcel
post packages coming out. OF Russia
are being held in Berlin untouched
The German postal employees. follow
ing a physicians announcement that
employees in the Reval Postoffica had
been infected from handling Russian
mail, have refused TO handle such mail
here until the Minister of Posts has
given orders for it's disinfection
against typhus.
Large amounts Of Russian mail had
been sent through Germany for Amer
ica, and only portion of it is known
to have been disinfected. There is con-
siderable alarm in German medical
circles over a report that typhus hes
broken out among the German popu-
lation of the Volga district and fear
is expressed that the plague may break
out in central Europe, in view OF the
large number Of Russian refugees COM
ing in without inspection, having
evaded the customs guards.
Hundreds of Germans, Russians and
Poles are known to have crossed the
Russian border and come into Germany
during the last few months, only q
small percentage of whom have had
medical attention.
Information received by the German
Red Cross is that the Volga plague
situation is serious. The popuati or
has been weakened by the many months
of famine, during which the people
have been living on the flesh of cats
and dogs
Disease and hunger are said to have
compelled a number of parents tC
throw their children into the Volga
preferring that they should drown
rather than starve to death. Horde;
of refugees, compelled to, sleep in the
streets, lose several Of their number
by starvation every day.
