Italy supports British.

Signor Schanzer. for Italy, took the
floor and eloquently defended the
British plea, pointing to the months
OF work required by the Washington
conference as compared to only five
weeks spent kere. Premier Bratiano
OF Rumania made his plea for COM
promise and then Premier Lloyd
George and NJ. Barthon went for their
luncheon and discussion.
Ever the official description of the
Anglo-French discussion was that it
was Serious but friendly"
TlfeN Germans had let IL be known
that IL no agreement was reached they
would consider their Rapallo treaty
WITH Russia i'm force and would go on
Win 1t. Such being the case. Mr..
lloyd George could hardly resist the
ffressure to make an Anglo Russian
treaty, for which the italians are
equally keen. And the Little En-
Tente" and other border States and
oorder neutrals could hardly be kept
put. The result would have been the
almost complete isolation Of France.
The complete defeat of Mr.. Lloyd
George seemed assured. The conver-
cation at the various delegation head
quarters turned to two points-will he
break the Entente and call a general
election in England on the issue of
peace with Russia and Germany and
food for the unemployed, or will he
disappear from public life?
There is reason 10 believe that Mr..
oyd George in his talk with NJ. Bar
thou reviewed the entire course of the
negotiations and spoke frankly Of
what he regretted as the unfortunate
ability Of he Paris Cabinet to over
.hrow the decisions which their dele
gntss rencte. almost from the begin
ming OF the talks at Cannes to the
yery latest meeting of the political
subcommission OF the Genoa confer
ence to-day.
NJ Barthou nevertheless is reported
Ia have carried away the opinion that
the Premier did not intend to break
the Entente despite his disappoint-
ment over the French attitude. He Is
said now TO feel that the new Govern

that the question will be reexamined
The Holy See is determined to settle
the Russian question, according to
closely informed persons, and IL the
Genoa conference does not make a

directly with the Soviets.
There are some who insist that the

their opinions instead of England and
France. No doubt Italy was working
in close cooperation with England in
this move to stop France. Niscount
Ishii for Japan took the first step by
lining up with Mr.. Lloyd George for
the appointment of mixed commissions
to study the Russian question and the
aggression pact, declaring that it
was essential to Japan that Russia be
not allowed to be a menace to peace.
Ex- President Motta of Switzerland
followed suit and gave the first hint
of what appears to Mr.. Lloyd George
to be the most powerful argument for
a union, namely, the possibility of
separate agreements with Russia.
There is reason to believe that Mr..
Lloyd George would not hesitate to
make such a separate agreement for
England if the Genoa conference is
utterly shattered.
When Motta and Ishii who gener-
ally share the French viewpoint
showed themselves TO be of a contrary.
opinion, Barthou took the floor and
intimated that an agreement already
had been reached as to who would ap-
point the commissions and hoped that
an agreement would be reached for
TIE mixed commissions (meaning the
inclusion of Russia-) 1t was here that
the applause broke out.
II hope that Mr.. Lloyd George and
I will deserve that applause to-mor-
row." NJ. Barthou said.
Then he added: Il hope that an
agreement can also be reached on a
truce pact" ar
Nearing Compromise.
Mr.. Lloyd George confirmed NJ.
Bartkou's polite optimism by saying:
Our conversation brought us long
way toward an agreement" He in
sisted again on adoption of the sug-
gestion of Premier Brantiano of Ru
mania that the commissions be ap-
pointed here and now.
Barthou, however, intimated that
this now made little difference, as.
however they were appointed, they
would have to obtain the approval of
their Governments. & M
Mr.. Lloyd George again brought up
the threat of separate agreements by
saying: "It is highly important that
we agree now, for obviously if we do
not agree our Governments might
make separate agreements surrounded
by all kinds of suspicious as long as
all are not present to protect the in
terests of their nationals
Mr.. Lloyd George again emphasized
the necessity that the border States be
protected by a truce and then even
Poland and Belgium deserted the
French.
NJ Jasper, Foreign Minister of Bel
gium, said he hoped that Belgium
would not be accused of delaying a
settlement which she is anxious TO
reach, but that five weeks was a short
time for proceedings of such impor-
tance Carlo Schanzer for Italy said
he hoped the commissions would be
named promptly and would report
promptly so that the matter could be
cleared up within three months. And
then Sweden added her voice to that
of the neutrals for an agreement, and
the meeting adjourned.

To Discuss Addition of Distance Runs
 to Meet

New York, May 24-The addition of several distance events to the an- nual championship program of the intercollegiate track meet will be considered at conference of the Intercollegiate Association In Boston tomorrow night. The proposals which will come up for discussion include the staging in 1922 of either a three or a five-mile run and 40 yards hurdle event.
 Unler the present schedule tho longest run of the two-day titular games Is the two-mile event. It Is realized that if the United States Is to compete successfully against the European athletes in the Olympic games of 1923 and other information al events tentatively scheduled, 1t will be necessary to develop long distance runners.
 The subject was discussed at the annual meeting of the l. c. A. A. A. in New York, last March and laid over for further consideration at the conference to be held on the eve of the intercollegiate games. The meet ing will listen to report to be made by the coaches association on the subject and is likely to be influenced by the suggestions offered by the trainers. It is probable for year at least, the three mile rather than the five mile run will be adopted.
 The addition of 40 yards ow hurdle race appears certain to next years program and there may be some of the field events. including some or the field events, including a limitation upon the size of the pole vault take-off pit
