Over the German-Russian
Coup in Signing Sep
arate Treaty
MAY SPELL DISAS-
TER FOR EUROPE
Goodness of Lloyd George
May Save the Sit

Genoa, April Is (By the Associated
Press The CONSERVATION caused by
the German Russian coup in concluding
the treaty at Rapallo. supplementing
the Brest-Litoyak pact, showed no
signs OF abating as the economic con-
ference delegates continued their de-
iberations to-day.
As the different national groups ex-
amined the text of the new agreement
and deliberated on its possible effect
-npon the future balance of power in
Europe they were impressed with the
deep Importance the signing of this
separate pact was likely to have on
the general political situation.
The prophets who, when the econom-
ic conference was inaugurated, predict
ed that it would result either in great
good or disaster to Europe, were in
clined to-day to take the view that
the congress seemed TO be headed in
the direction Of disaster. which only
the coolness of Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain and other CON
ference leaders could prevent. Some
men in allied circles read in the Russo
German treaty, and especially the mem
ner in which it was signed, future
alliance between these two countries.

BIG PACKING MERGER.
To Take in Three Of "Big Five" at
$500, o,oo0, 900 capitalization.

Chicago, April lS. Informal negoti
ations for a merger of three OF the
big Five" packing companies into a
500,000,O00 corporation have been con
Quoted by j. Ogden Armour, head OF
Armour and company, according TO the
Herald and Examiner to-day.
The corporation would have AZ its
president Thomas E. Wilson, president
of Wilson and company, and Mr.. Ar
mour would be chairman of the board
of directors, according to the newspa
per.
The firms involved are: Armour
and company with total valuation Of
$32S, 1907; Wilson and company,
with net worth of SSS,097 $50, and
Cudahy and company, with a valuation
of S45,502 $50.
Mr.. Armour is said by the newspa
per to be supposed to be actuated by
the motive of desiring a successor TO
the presidency Of Armour and com
pany, a position handed down to him
by his father. Having no son to carry
on the business, he is forced TO 90 out
side the family. Mr.. Wilson's success
in the packing business has made him
the logical candidate, says the news
paper, which points out that to secure
Mr. Wilson, Mr.. Armour is forced to
buy Wilson's company.
