Russia. We could not postpone
Russian return even tc persuade
America to come"
But despite the fact that the con-
ference will take place in Italy. it
will not be Italy but Britain which
will dominate 1t. The real issue OF
the conference is the two-fold
leadership of Europe and the po-
litical mastery OF Great Britain.
These are the stakes for which
Lloyd George will play. II he can
reassert British supremacy at this
pan-European conference his con-
troll at home will hardly be chaI-
lenged. But IL he fails at Genoa
he falls in London-nothing is
more certain.
Paris Sees French-EngIish Fight.
Despite all that may be said
upon the surface. Genoa as seen
from the Paris angle, resolves IT.
self into battle between France
and Great Britain. At Cannes
Lloyd George persuaded BRAND to
above all to the Genoa conference
itself. That agreement cost BRAND
his premiership. But France re-
mained engaged. Poincare was
hostile to the whole project, ou,
saw no escape from taking up1
promise made in the name of
France at Cannes.
But if Genoa be success for
Lloyd George it must prove a dis
aster both for Poincare and France
Every project which Lloyd George
really has near his heart runs
counter to French interests, In
theory there will be no discussion
OF land armaments, no recognition
or Soviet government save condi-
tionally upon future good be-
havior. The matter of reparations
will not come UP.
In practice, however, despite all
formal pledges of the British pre-
mler' every Frenchman believes
that Lloyd George means to bring
up all these questions.

DUBLIN. April 15.-Picked Free

tomorrow or Easter Monday. ami
versary Of the 1915 rebellion, was
TO be met with all the armed forces
Of the provisional government.
Every point seized by rebels in
1916 was guarded closely tonight,
except the -Four Courts, which the
Insurgents held. Hotels, public
buildings. railway terminals and
the postofflce. which controls all
telephone and telegraph lines, were
flled with Free State troops,
heavily armed.
De Valera's manifesto calling
upon the youth OF ireland to take
possession of their country and re-

given rise to still further alarm.
De Valera calls upon the young
men and women OF Ireland to

"And the love that begot the Easter

principal buildings and closed down
the local paper. besides holding all
lines of communication
Republican extremist outrages in

BELIEVE AMERICA
WILL STAY OUT OF
PREPARATION BODY
Senate Administration
Leaders Claim Cabinet
Opposes Appointment.

The United States is to continue
its official aloofness from the Repa-
rations Commission created by the
Versailles treaty. administration
leaders in the Senate said last night.
They let 1t be known that the
Cabinet has decided against Ameri-
can membership on the commission
on two grounds:
1. That the United States does not
need official representation on the
body to take care of its interests
in Europe.
2. That it would be poor political
strategy to ask Congress to au-
thOrize American membership on
the commission, as the Democrats
would at once claim It as a victory
for Democratic policies.
Congress has been stirred recent
ly by intimation that within a short
time President Harding would ask
legislation authorizing appointment
Of an American member to help set
tie the reparatiohs problem. The
"trreconcilables" on the Versailles
treaty have been organizing to fight
the legislation. Democrats have
been preparing to turn IL to ac-
count by saying that the Harding
administration found it had tn ac-
cept the policies of the Wilson ad-
ministration to protect American
interests.
The manner in which the allies
came around to the American view
on the claim for payment of S240,-
100000 for maintenance of the
American Rhine army has convinced
high officials, it is stated, that the
ordinary methods of diplomacy will
suffice to care for all American in
terests in the reparations settle
ment. German claims can be han
died, 1t is believed, by means of
the German property held by the
Alien Property Custodian.

WOULD PROSECUTE
GEN. SEMENOFF ON
MURDER CHARGES
Senator Borah Believes
Legal Grounds Exist
For Cossack's Arrest.

Gen. Gregory Semenoff. Cossack
chieftain. will be prosecuted on a
charge Of murder Of American SOL
diers in Siberia. IL such prosecu-
tion is legally possible. Senator
Eorah, OF Idaho. announced last
night.
Borah made public a telegram he
sent yesterday to William Hayward,
United States district attorney in
New York.
rs there any possible way"
wired Borah. by which Semenofr.
now in Ludlow Jail. can be held re-
sponsible for the murder Of Ameri-
can soldiers in Siberia? The evil
dence seems very clear
Not only is the evidence complete,
in Borah's opinion. but investigation
has convinced him that adequate
legal grounds exist for the arrest
and trial Of Semenoff on murder
charges.
Legal status Doubted.
Borah's position is that IL Seme-
non can be arrested and punished
for violation Of property riEhts-in-
volved in his arrest in New York
he certainly can be made TO
answer for the murder Of the
American soldiers in Siberia by his
men. Borah holds that Semenoff
had no legal status in his Siberian
operations and therefore was little
more than a bandit
The United States, IL was pointed
out. was not at war with Semenoff
and in ordering or permitting his
men to attack and kill American
soldiers. the Cossack made himself
liable to punishment.
Lack of a stable Russian gov
ernment permitted Semenoa TO es-
cape punishment and now that he
is in the United States there is no
reason why this government should
not proceed with prosecution. Borah
holds.
Borah believes that the district
attorney Of New York is vested
with the power to push murder
charges against the general.
Russian Ambassador Boris Bakh-
meter has been subpoenaed TO Rp-
pear tomorrow in the Labor Com
mittee hearings on the Semenofr
case. Finding that the diplomat
was not in Washington, the COM
mittee decided to take this more
urgent form Of Invitation" to ap-
pear. II is reported that he now
is in North Carolina.
His testimony is wanted mainly
because OF the fact he is reported
to have greeted cordially and TO
have conferred with the Cossack
chieftain. Gen. Semenoff, when the
latter came here recently.
The committee has asked the
Labor Department to send a repre-
sentative who can throw some light
on how Semenon got into the
United States after an American
consul in China had refused to wise
his passport.
Henry de Bach. counselor Of
the Russian Embassy, in stating last
night that the Ambassador is cut
Of the city for a short Easter vaea-
tion. took the position that h> could
receive no subpoena except tr ah
the State Department and tnat the
Ambassador could testify only
through the department.

Senator's Cable Referred
To Secretariat- General

GENOA. April 15.-A message
from Senator Joseph 1. France, Of
Maryland, regarding the desirable
ity of American participation in the
Genoa conference was received here
today and referred to the secre-
tariat general.
Any action by the conference on
Senator Frances message, which is
said to suggest the powers urge the
United States to participate. is ex-
tremely unlikely, delegates said.
They point out that the powers rep
resented at Genoa are rigidly re-
framing from interference with
Americas affairs.
Complaints were filed with the
Department of Justice Friday
against Senator France and prose-
eution asked for alleged violation
OF the statute prohibiting criminal
correspondence with foreign coun>
tries. It was alleged Senator France
had sent the following cable, among
others:
"Tchitcherin. Conference, Genoa
American people hope for sue
cess of Genoa conference, general
reconciliation. European rehabilita-
tion. Am urging American repre-
sentation. Resolution by Genoa
