PARIS, May (Associuted Press).-
Premier Poincare to-day telegraphed
the French delegates at the Genoa con-
ference requesting them to invite the
allied representatives to postpone de-
livery to the Soviet delegation of the
memorandum prepared by the Russian
Affairs Sub Commission until the French
Cabinet had officially taken cognizance
of it's contents.
1t was reported tonight on good au-
thority that Premier Poincare is par
ticularly anxious to avoid any diver
gency Of opinion with the Belgian Gov
ernment. Assurances were given that
he was sending new instructions to the
French delegation to adopt entirely the
viewpoint Expressed by M. Jaspar, the
Belgian Foreign Minister, concerning
the proposals to Russia.
Premier Poincare considers that a
meeting of the Supreme Council just
now would be inopportune. He desires
to wait until May 81, when the next
~ avz1 q n
of the Reparations Commission is given
in case Of wilful failure on the part OF
Germany to meet her obligations.
1t is also said that the Premier is OF
the opinion that any exchange of views
on penalties, which might be taken upon
the eventuality Of Germany's failure,
would be useless.

Britain and says that the "full pound Of
flesh from Germany" cries do not repre-
sent the temper of the British people.
II cites the laugh which Sir Robert
Horne got in the House OF Commons
when he jolingiy said that he would re-
gard anything from Germany as a
windfall.
The Netcs says 1t believes that the is
sue depends on Franca>'and that the
French must realize that there is
greater patriotism and greater wisdom
in getting relief from n generous and
friendly creditor than In bounding to
death an insolvent debtor" It adds that
until this miserable reparations busi-
ness" is settled in accordance with veal
tiles Genoa can achieve no results.

undoubtedly will insist upon Belgium
getting full compensation for the pos
sessions of her citizens in Russia.

compensation may be effected by grant
ing proportionate shares in new conces-

insist that no concessions shall be
granted which will in any way interfere
with the former holdings of any for

that effect is included in the initial text

TESREAU CUTS GREEN
SQUAD TO FORTY MEN

HANOVER, N. H., March fl
Dartmouth's baseball squad was cut
to forty men by Coach Jeff Tesreau.
Twenty-one Of the men left. over
half the squad, are battery candi-
dates. Fourteen are pitchers and
seven catchers. Ten men, trying out
for infield positions, and nine out
fielders were kept on the squad.
Tesreau announced that he had
not made any definite selection Of
the nine yet, owing to the fact that
so many OF about equal ability are
out for the same positions. He will
probably delay the selection Of the
men who will make the southern trip
during vacation until the middle Of
next week.
The pitching staff is causing Tes-
reau little worry, as he has three
good pitchers In Tracey, Steinhilbre
and Burbank. Two veteran catchers,
Heep and Miner, are also no hand,
and the receiving end is well taken
care Of.
Maynard is the only outfielder Of
experience who is available ana is
the only ono who can be picked out
OF the ten candidates at present.
Caswen and Degostino are leading
outfielders.

the first Supreme Court case argued
by the Senator since his appointment

The case, which was begun in the

error. contesting the reversal Of a
verdict for the plaintiff for $4,000.
The National league and the Ameri.

number of years, the Federal league
unsuccessfully sought to be admitted

ment.
The Baltimore club then began
action for treble damages based on
the Sherman antitrust act, on the
theory that the organization which
the plaintiff in error had unsuc-
cessfully attempted to enter was a
combination to monopolise inter
state commerce and that its opera
ton had caused pecuniary damage
to the Baltimore club.
The District of Columbia court
held that baseball was conducted by
plaintiff in error is interstate COM
merce and that the National and
American League organization con-
stituted an attempt to monopolize
it. The jury found that the mere
existence of organized baseball had
made 1t impossible for the Federal
League experiment to succeed and
rendered a verdict for the Baltimore
club, assessing damages at $4,000.
On appeal to the Court of Appeals
Of the District Of Columbia tuds-
ment entered on this verdict was
reversed and the Baltimore club
sued out this writ of error.
