their bags over night, abandoned
their luxurious villas and settled
in any small room they could find
along Genoa's single main street
leading to the conference halls.
Here 1t is possible to see every
one passing toward the England
and French headquarters as well
as to the conference sessions in
the royal palace and to the audi

SUPREME COURT
HEARS FISH CASE

Washington, April 21. - The
right of aliens to tIsn tor salmOn
n the Columbia river, in the state
of Oregon, with fixed appliances
without first obtaining a license
from the state, was orally argued
in the supreme court today in a
case brought by Charles Olin
against certain state officials.
Counsel for Olin contended that
under a compact between Wash
ington and Oregon. aliens who en-
ioyed such fishing rights prior to
1919 were exempt from the opera
tions of a law enacted that year
by Oregon requiring them to OBJ
tain licenses. The court was urged
by counsel for the state officials
to affirm the decisions of the Uni
led States district court for Ore
gon and the circuit court Of ap-
peals for the ninth circuit which
held that aliens acquired no IRE
gocable fishing rights under the
compact, but were subject to such
regulations as the states might by
law impose.

enemies OF Germany. AT the end
OF 1918 he returned to New York,

torily stopped the case before all

zenship revoked" he pronounced
from the bench, that the court
may be spared hearing him tried
on charge of treason"

AMERICAN CORN
DRIVING FAMINE
OUT OF RUSSIA

Samara, Russia, April 15.-( (By
Associated Press. Famine is be-
ginning to retreat in the Volga
valley before the slow but steady
arrival of American corn for adult
feeding. 1t is due to vanish al
most entirely when the spring
sunshine uncovers the black earth
of this fertile region and brings
out the early grasses and vege-
tables, which, added to the rations
supplied by the United States, 9TH
er foreign countries and the Rus
sion government, will sustain most
of the population until the rye and
wheat harvest OF late August and
early September.
The retreat Is slow, however,
and the death rate from hunger
still' mounting In the villages far
from centers OF rail communica-
tion, which have not yet and may
never be reached by aid.
Today, the beginning of the last
month when wheat may be sown,
it is still a gamble whether ma
jority of the peasants will receive
any appreciable supply for spring
planting. The railways through
the heart of the Samara and Ore
burg districts have been blocked
by equinoxial billiards. while Mos
COW was straining even effort to
bring seed to the peasants.
The spring thaw is following
and it now appears that, in many
districts, the roads will be i'm
passable when the grain finally
does arrive at the inland stations.

RUSSIANS ASK
RECOGNITION
AND FINANCES
Reply Accepts Proposal
for Payment of Debts
Due Foreigners Upon
Stated Conditions.

Genoa. April 21.--(By Associ-
,ted Press. Both the Germans
and the Russians today submitted
their replies to the allies de-
mands. The German reply accepts
the allied proposal that the Ger
mans take no further part in the
negotiations between the allies
and the Russians, but the reply
does not modify the effectiveness
of the Russo German treaty.
The Russian reply accepts the
allied proposal for the payment OF
Russia's debt due to foreigners
and the restoration of foreign
property nationalized by Russia
in case the soviet regime is grant
ed full recognition by the allied
governments and is given ade-
Quate financial assistance.
Bridges Crisis.
The effect of the two replies is
to continue the German and Rus
sian participation in the work
here and thus to bridge over the
crisis which recently threatened
to disrupt the conference. y
While the soviet reply appar-
emily accepts practically all the
allied demands, the details OF
working out the plan and the
amounts the Russians may expect
in order to restore their country
admittedly present difficult
problem without any certainty
that it can be solved and thus
complete the preliminaries neces-
sary for Russian recognition.
As justifying their contention
that the allies could not as a mat

for property, the Russians cite the
abolition of slavery in the United

nor foreigners were compensated.
