war. due largely to American aid
The American people, DIR. Hill con-

achievements in restoring the health
and morale of the distressed populations
of Europe. Their aid has left an en-
during impression and millions of Crate

country requests that a certain person.

in advisory capacities in order to make
more certain the continuance of Rec
Cross work by the governments them
selves. The junior Red Cross will con
tinue in certain countries. In such

members Of the Russian delegation said
it was framed after the Russian dele
gates learned from the press that Mr..
Lloyd George NJ. Bsrthou, and repre-
santatives Of the other inviting powers
were framing a compromise reply to the
Russians, in which it was planned to
have a commission excluding Russians.
Since the suggestion was first brought
to the attention of the bolshevik del
egates they have allowed it to be known
officially that they would not permit
their representative or representatives
on any mixed commissionto be humili-
ated or accorded specialttreatment which
would differentiate as between Russia and
the other powers. After plans for such
special treatment seemingly became def
mite, NJ Tchitcherin and his associates
decided to take official notice, and nti-
mated today that IL the inviting powers
formally submitted such a proposition
It might result in the departure Of the
Russians for Moscow.
NJ. Tchitcherin has always made II
clear that Russia prefers to deal sep
arately with the various nations. and he
explained this afternoon that when Rus
sia consentedNSto come to Genoa it was
in the belief that the inviting powers
wauld live up to the terms Of the Can
mes resolutions and not try to bring Rus
sian sovereignty into question.

ment said. With this prospect it is un-
wise for the city Of New York to accept
a program of rapid transit construction
conceived on any other basis than that of
municipal operation and ownership The
city will not take over any of the anti
quated surface lines. though the state
transit commission is trying hard to
compel it to do So

once the construction of rapid transit
lines lin such sequence as to make them
part of complete and comprehensive
