CONFERENCE AGAIN
 FACING OPEN BREAK
Allied Diplomats However, Do Not Give Up All Hope

Genoa, April 25 tBy Associated Prcss) The Genoa conference is drifting toward the rocks again. Whether it can be kept from wreck age depends upon the possibility oi adjusting the new demands of the Russian soviet delegates with the position of the allied governments who declare they will steadfastly stand by the resolutions adopted at Cannes, on which the conference is founded. "..a
 The situation is made more critical by the French premier's frank warn. ing in an address at Bar-le-Duc yes terday that France will withdraw from the conference if she is unable to see that the ideas expressed by the French cabinet before parliament can triumph.
 These French practical demands include maintenance of the war rep arations figures, disbarment of all dis ing of existing treaties at Genoa. In addition, France insists on rigid ad herence to the Cannes resolutions which call for the payment of Ru, sia's war debts and the restitution by the soviet foreigners property in Rus. sia.
 Experts Conclude.
 The conference of experts on the Russian question broke up yesterday and adjourned sine die because the experts representing the powers found the Russians new set of proposals absolutely in contradiction with the soviet note accepting the allies terms IS a basis for future deliberations.
 Yesterday the Bo,sheviki announced their deciination to restore private property because everything was na- ionaized in Russia but in their note )f acceptance they voiced willingness jo restore such property or indemnify he owners provided the country's wa, tcbts to the allies were cut down and mancial help for Russian forthcom- ,ng.
 Allies Make Demands.
 Instead of accepting the allies de- hands for the payment of war debts
New Britain herald., 1922-04-25

to the payment of tho financial ohi- gations due to foreign nationals which
 are usually referred to as ipre-N'i |debtS. the soviet spokcsmen asked fo,
 a moratorium of 80 years on these l lebts and the cancellation of the in
 terest according to the allied version
 of the meeting. This cancellation was
 to apply both to the past and to the period of the moratorium
 Russia's stand.
 Finally the Russians made clear | that, in refusing to restore private property in Russia, this would not imply any surrender by Russian citi- ztns of their rights to hold propert, to fee simple in foreign lands, hour- geoise countries. where tho right 10 possess property went with the bourgeoise system.
 Such. said the Bolshcviki were their terms, but they could only grant them on condition that the powers represented at Genoa would first agree to recognize the Russian soviet gov ernment and accord it adequate fi- nancial help for its proper economic reconstructlon.
 Under these conditions" said Sir Laming Worthington- Evans, chair man of the meeting, we cannot dis cuss any further. We must refer this matter to our respective govern ments.' It was then decided to ad- journ the sittings sine die. All tn. experts with the exception of the T. -io, tc l,;. ing and go over the entire situation.
 The Russians contend that their general attitude as to making a treat, with the powers has been misinter- preted and one of the delegates charged the faulty translatons hau been made Of their counter sugge>s- tions last week.
 Hope Not All Gone.
 Despite the serious outlook thr heads of the various delegations have not given up all hope.
 Some however, frankly informA the Associated Press last night that they saw no possibility Of making an with the sovicts unless the latter radically modified their program.
 ,,nl the Bolshevik have aban- doned their counter claims for dam age charged 10 foreign intervcntions in Russia, the story went the rounds of the delegations last night that they will hold the United States morally responsible for the presence of the Japanese troops in Siberia since the Japanese occupied the territory not only co-jointly with American troops but actually at the request of the American government.
 ''In that case said one of the Jap anese iokingly, If the Bolsheviki | hand us q bill we will have to pass it on the United States government

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY
in HAWAIIAN ISLES
Old Craters on Dormant Volcanoes
Are Showing Signs of Renewed
Fiery Tigor.

Honolulu, May 31.-(By Associated
Press.) 1.-The unusual volcanic activ-
ity in the region Of Kilauea on the is
land of Hawaii has stirred long DOR
mant craters to fresh activity.
The old craters of Napau and Panau
yesterday erupted steam and smoke
and emitted kissing sound as the
lava rose against the walls of the pits
burning the vegetation that has grown
there in the yards since their last nc
tivity. The inner walls of the craters
were masses of fame.
Napau and Panau are four and
three miles respectively from the old
crater of Makaopuhi which reused it.
self on Monday from 50 years of
slumber in spectacular outburst. The
lava flow broke out in series of mol
ten fountains from the walls of the
crater nine of which we're pouring
fiery sprays into the old pit.
The activity of Panau pit is said to
resemble the disturbance of 1919
when a stream of lava plunged down
the side Of the cone three miles to the
sea.
Two other ancient craters also show
signs of activity, according to Prof
Thomas A. Jaeger, director of the
United States volcano observatory on
the island of Hawaii.

STEAL FLAGS FROM
VETERANS GRAVES
HalloVed Places In FairYieW
Cemetery DeseCrated

Members of the Grand Army, Sons
OF Veterans and other allied organiza
tons are up In arms today over the
disappearance OF flags from the graves
of veterans in Fairview cemetery yes
terday. 1t is estimated that within
a half or three quarters of an hour
after the flags had been placed on the
graves yesterday morning, from Is tc
25 were found missing.
The flags were placed there about
$50 o'clock in the morning by the
committee appointed for that pur-
pose, assisted by Boy Scouts. Some
time between that time and 915
o'clock the flower committee appeared
to place the floral tributes on the
graves, and discovery was made OF
the missing flags.
Visit All Sections.
There are between 400 and 500 vet
Grams graves in this cemetery. it is
said, and in all sections of the burial
ground the flower committee found
graves where flags had been placed
just short time before. Nothing but
the marks where the flag sticks had
pierced the ground remained on be-
tween Is and rs graves.
Section 81, on the east side of the
cemetery, near the railroad, suffered
the worst, 1t being reported that nine
flags were taken from graves in this
section alone. The work evidently
was that of children, and the police
have not been notified. A prominent
of Veterans, when interviewed this
morning, said they were at a loss
what to do. 1T would take six or
eight men to police that cemetery on
a day like that" he said.
The flags were replaced by the CON-
mittee.

Several thousand people crowded
around the monument to witness the

hundreds of people applauded the

mental in its success and was capa-

and his aides. This is the sixth con-
secutive year that Mr.. Streeter has

exercises and the manner in which
they are conducted reflects credit
upon him and the organization he
represents.
