ries of evangelistic services here for

pacity, chairs were placed in the

GENOA, April 1S.-(By Associat-

to the general idea of the Genoa con-
ference, and in that sense is dishon-
orable and challenge to Europe,"
said the authorized British spokes-
men to the Associated Press in dis
cussing the signing of the Russo Ger

"Nevertheless,p the spokesman
continued, 1.-The British delegation
does not think it will result in the
breaking up of the conference even
though Germany has broken loose
from it,"
The signing of treaty between
Germany and Russia, which nullifies
the Brest-Litovsk treaty and re-es-
tablishes full diplomatic relations be-
tween these two countries on a basis
of equality has caused profound
astonishment and resentment amogn
the Allied delegations. The minis
ters of the powers which convened
the conference decided at meeting
held last night to have a committee
of experts examine this treaty this
morning, to determine whether it
conflicts with the Cannes Resolution

The action of the Germans and

they had signed treaty until late

SOUTH TOFICHT
FOR JUST RATES
Shippers Raising Fund To Make
Proper Showing At Interstate
Commission Hearing

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion will begin hearing of the South
ern Class Rate investigation in At
lanta on May %, at which time the
entire rate structure of the South
ern states will be considered, H. p.
Everett, Chamber of Commerce traf-
fic manager, stated today.
This is probably the most compre-
hensive and far reaching investiga-
tion ever instituted by the Interstate
Commerce commission dealing with
the rates in any section of the United
States, every class rate and car load
commodity rate is involved, and all
of the Southern railroads will act as
unit in order that their interests
may be protected.
1t is important that the shippers
in the South be represented at the
hearings which will be held in At
lanta, New Orleans, Chicago and
New York, and with this in view, the
Southern Traffic league at its an.
nual meeting in Atlanta April 8 and
a, decided on a plan of action, and a
committee from each state was ap-
pointed to secure the necessary funds
to cover the expenses, and as soon
as these funds are secured, commerce
attorneys and rate experts will be en-
ployed to prepare the evidence, briefs,
etc.
1t is estimated that it will take
$25, 900, and Georgia's quota will be
$4,000, of which Savannah has raised
1000 and Atlanta $1,000, the bal
ance to be raised by voluntary sub
scription throughout the state.
1t is hoped that Amerieus will raise
its quota, which will not be a large
amount, and checks should be made to
the Southern Traffic League, and
sent to the Chamber of Commerce, I'll.
P. Everett, traffic manager, on or
before April %.
