.ULTIMATUM GIVEN
TO GERMANY
Teutons Told to Scrap Russian
Treaty or Retire From
the Commission
CONFERENCE STILL BLOCKED
Optimistic Feeling I'm Europe Upon
Learning That J. p. Morgan Will
Join Group of Bankers To Dis
cuss international Loan.

Genoa.-The German delegates and
experts have not yet been able to
find a formula where to compromise
with the entente powers without sac
rifcing the Russo-Gsrman treaty. Eff
forts are being made to have the con-
ference formulate a Russian policy in
which the Russo-German treaty can
be absorbed, thus giving it the stamp
of conference approval and removing
the cause of hard feeling.
The plain language of Premier
Lloyd George to the German states
men over the treaty incident, which
at one time threatened to disrupt the
economic conference, was believed to
have cleared the political atmosphere,
but as neither the German reply to
the allies nor the Russian reply re-
garding acceptance of the conditions
for the restoration of Russia was
Forthcoming, the situation is still con-
sidered critical.
According to a report the conversa-
tion concluded by Lloyd George say
ing:
There are only two alternatives
! for the German: Either to withdraw
/ tlS INuoSO-beIuldH treaty or TO Wltn-
draw themselves from the commission
discussing Russian affairs / do not
wish either to humiliate Germany or
to infiict a penalty upon her, but the
conference cannot allow the German
delegation to continue to participate
i'll discussions on Russia unless she
makes amends for this deplorable in
cident."
Some OF the neutrals described the
Germans as embarrassed as to how to
find way out Of the difficulty. Mean
time, the work of the conference is
blocked. The neutral states have in
sisted officially that the agenda of
the conference be discussed in the
commissions and not in private con-
versations among the chief delegates.
To this the leaders rejoin that prelim-
mary meetings are advisable in order
to expedite the labors of the confer
ence.
The announcement that j. p. Nor
gan will join the group of bankers to
discuss the possibility of floating an
international loan for Germany has
created an optimistic feeling for the
future finances of Europe
