 Location
By Associated Press

Moscow, January 15.-Untir Russia knows what assistance the foreign powers will give toward her recon struction, 1t is impossible to make a statement about the payment of for eign debts" said Maxim Litvinoff chief of the soviet legations abroad in statement today.
 Russia now is unable to pay, and cannot estimate her ability to pay in the future unless she learns what outside financial help she will re- ceive. This Is A matter for negotia- ton"
 M Litvinotfs statement was vir- tually q reiteration of what Leon soviet leaders said prior to being in- formed of the invitation to the Genoa conference, and there is no indication there will be . change in the soviet position.
 Litvinoff added that Genoa was an undesirable location for conference because of the inadequate facilities for telegraphic or wireless commu- nication with Moscow. Furthermore. he said, Italy had not been able to protect the soviet representative in that country from attacks and that the Russians regarded 1t as an un- safe place. London, he declared. was desirable point for holding the con ference and would be excellent from the standpoint of being center for communication with their home gov ernments for all the delegations.

Mccormick Slaps Out Hit on Throw From
 Shortstop

One of the best story tsllers who ever played in the big league was J kirke. for . time A member of the Cleveland Indians.
 Among those he spun ono after noon, just before a game at Comisky park, had Barry Mccormick as It's hero. Barry Is now an umpire in the National league, and during tho win ter months works In the internal rev enue department In Chicago.
 Barry had come to the American association with quite batting repu- tation, and the pitchers all feared him." said Kirke. "As a consequence, al lthey'd throw him was a curve, until he got sick and tired of looking at the ball break away from his reach.
 "A month passed, and tsill Mc- cormick was looking at nothing but curves. curves. curves.
 His team happened to get a man 10 first and third one day. when Mac came 10 bat. The first ball thrown was q curve Barry nearly broke his back reaching for it.
 Ills mates started q double steal Tho catcher threw the ball to the shortstop, who had come in close be- hind the slab, and he returned the pdil 10 the plate, using terrific speed.
 As the ball came close Barry stepped in and whanged 1t far out 10 center field. Naturally, small riot arose. The umpire made his de- oision and Barry walked back to the bench, where his manager was stand ing up, waiting for him.
 Why In Petes name did you dc that?' snarled the boss.

NEW MINISTRY OF

 The new premier achieved a notable success in limiting the ministerial crisis to three days, but failed to &C., complish the desire with which he Is credited of forming & cabinet of wide national union on the lines of the cabinets formed In 1914 and 1915, while he was President of tho repub- lie. Not that he could be expected to include the socialists who were represented in these ministerles, for their press has seized upon the re- turn of Poincare to power to revive their charges that he personally was responsible for the war.
 Partial Failure
 His partial failure us explained by the Petit Parisian may be attributed in part to the fact that the situation, although grave, cannot be compared to that existing in 1914 and 1915. The chamber elected in 1919 comprises a majority known as the national bloc, which is in clear cut opposi- tion as regards internal policy to the socialist radical group, which pre- viously was the largest and most lm- portant group in the chamber.
 M. Herriot, leader of the socialist radical group in the chamber. and M. Doumergue, leader of the corresponds ing group in the Senate. refused of flee, but assured Nj. Poincare that he could count on their support on for eign policy.
 M. Sarraut. who held the portfolio of colonies under Briand. and who now Is in Washington, belongs to this group, but 1t is taken for granted that he will retain his present office. M. Laffont. the new under secretary of posts and telegraphs, also Is a member of the socialist radical group.
 At meeting late this afternoon this party decided that Nj. Sarraut having been charged with a delicate and complex mission in the national interest, should carry. 1t out to the end. with the power to consult his friends on his return to Paris re- garding his remaining in the cabinet. Of the 14 ministers four are sem ators--Poincare, Peyronnet. Strauss and Cheron. and 10 are members of the Chamber of Deputies. All the groups forming the left side of Par liament are represented in the cabi- net; the socialists and the rightists ars not represented.
 After expressing the belief that M Sarraut would not fall him. Premier Poincare said: "I shall not advance the convocation of the chamber which Is set for Thursday, as there are many things to do between now and then.
 All the high commissioners in the previous cabinet are suppressed and also -Four under secretaries of state. This Is for the purpose of showing from the beginning our sincere eff fort to practice economy"

Collector Urges Prompt
 Payment of Poll Taxes

Tuscaloosa. January 15.-(SpeciaO Tax Collector S. D. McGee Is using every effort to see that every quail fled voter in Tuscaloosa county comes forward and pay his poll tax early in order to relieve in part the conges- tion that is expected the last few days at his office.
 Since the books were opened pay ment of taxes have been fairly brisk. according to MT. McGee, and voters are urged to come forward as rap idly as possible in order to avoid a jam at the last minute. Among those already having paid are several who paid back taxes.
 Practically every qualified voter In the county realizes that the election ahead is of unusual importance, and it Is entirely probable that before February 2, when the books close, every eligible voter will have paid his poll tax.

wait in the hope that MT. Balfo and Secretary Hughes will be a, @ to affect settlement through ths Japanese. Both Mir. Hughes and MT. Balfour, one Chinese official said to- night, understand the difficulties the Chinese face in the existing situa- ton at home, with the Chinese peo- pie on the verge of domestic turmoil over the Shantung delay.
 In the meantime, the Chinese and Japanese delegations expect to con tinue tomorrow their efforts to clean the slate of the collateral questions involved in a complete settlement. The coal mines adjacent to the rail- road, and more or less tied up with that question, and the ore fields are the first on the program for tomor- srow's meeting, and then the only re- maining questions will be those re- lating to certain cables and the salt fields

TWO SUBSTITUTES
 FOR RESERVE BANK
 ACT AGREED UPON

shape at a moments notice if needed One senator said there would be a showdown by noon tomorrow but he would not indicate whether those in charge of the measures expected to discuss the subject with Mir. Harding before that time.
 Harding's Objections
 It was felt that either the proposals mentioned above would meet the ob- jections voiced by MT. Harding to the original bill. The banking interests have entered strong objections to the explicit designation of farmer and have urged that if Congress decides the membership of the reserve board is to be broadened, 1t should not be restricted in the manner proposed.
 Adoption of either of the proposals. leaders said frankly. would leave the President the free hand he was said to desire in the selection of men, but thy appeared to have assurance that agricultural interests would be given early representation on the board.

PROGRESS IS HOPED
 FOR IN SETTLEMENT
 OF SHANTUNG CASE

tion still rests largely in the hands of Arthur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes, in the opinion of Chinese spokesmen.
 Await Instructions
 Both the Chinese and Japanese deI- egations tonight were waiting in- stPuctions from their governments as to the attitude they must take on the Hughes -Balfour compromise sug- for agreement on both of the phases of the problems which up to now have seemed insolvable.
 These phases touch upon the method of payment for the Tsingtao- Tsinanfu railroad and the nationality of the men who will hold the posi- ton of traffic manager and chief &C., countant for the railroad after its transfer.
 Whether the Chinese and Japanese delegations can get together this was said to be dependent on the nature of the instructions from the Picking and Tokio governments. While the Chinese delegation has been in al- most daily communication with Pe- king during the past few days, ca bles from the Chinese government have been in the nature of inquiries concerning possible obscure features of the proposals.
 The Chinese government, however, 1t Is understood. has notified its dei- egation of the difficulty of compro. missing on either question.
 BaIfour-Hughes Compromise
 The Ba1four- Hughes compromise suggestions are said to be based on various combinations of these two questions in form that might per- Chinese to give in on one and retain the other, or might allow China, by sac rificing the chief accountancy posi- tion to obtain a concession for pay ment in cash or installments for the road, at the same time assuring Chi nese control over the road through a Chinese traffic manager.
 At the Chinese delegation head quarters there was said to be hope without optimism that the Shantung question will be settled through the Japanese giving in on the railway phase of the dispute. It is no other way the Chinese say, can a settle ment satisfactory to the Chinese peo- pie be reached.
 There is no inclination, It was said, by the Chinese people to reach a compromise regarding a loan, and China could not agree to any settle ment which would not assure China undivided physical control of the railway. The Chinese delegation, 1t was asserted, would stand pat" on the question of management ana would insist on Chinese traffic chief and accountant.
 Chinese People
 The Chinese declare they are not in a position to recede on the ques- tion of principle involved, and that 1hnro is nnthing for them to do but
