Note Was About to be Presented When Soviet Delegates Agreed to Make Some Alterations
Delay Regarded as Favor.
 able-Paris Gets InfOrma-
 ton That Russ Will Insist
 on Billion Credit.

Genoa May 10 (By Associated lied memorandum which was ready for presentation this forenoon was not delivered to the allies, as expected, as at the last moment. after a converse ton between Foreign Ministers Tchi- tcherin Of Russia and Schanzer of Italy it was decided the reply would have to undergo some alteration.
 M. Tchtcherin left Genoa at p. m. returning to Santa MargheritA to consult the other members of the Russian delegation. It was not ex- pected therefore the reply could be presented until tomorrow.
 Regarded As Favorable.
 The fact that the delay was due to M. Tchitcherin's visit to Signor schanzer was regarded in some quart CTS as a favorable indication.
 In French circles the belief was expressed that an attempt was being made to influence the Russians to modify their reply so as to permit the conference to continue.
 France to Be Firm.
 Tn d statement to the Associated Press before anything definite was known concerning the Russian reply the French delegation announced that Frances attitude on the foreign prop erty issue as regarded Russia would probably remain firm whatever atti- tude Belgium might eventually adopt.
 The attitude of the French delega- tion is the result of public opinion in France, which is bringing great pres- sure to bear on the government to make no concessions regarding the invioablity of property rights, the statement says.
 French industrial committees it adds has recently conferred with Premier Poincare and urged him to take strong stand for the restoration of foreigners property as otherwise they argue future investments in Rus sia would be hopeless as the French public would refuse to advance funds when it had no assurance that prop erty rights would be respected.

VERMONTERS
KEEP VISITING
WASHINGTON
Many Tourists Stop Off at
National Capital to See
Their Friends
(Our Washington Correspondent

tOur Washington Correspondent
Probably not in years have
Washington and Washingtonians
welcomed so many Nermontcrs
within a like span of time as have
been greeted during the past two
weeks in the Capital City. On
business or pleasure bent, or with
an eye to both, they have come.
Conventions, conferences, and con-
crosses have summoned some of
them from Vermont villages and
towns, from mountainside and val
ley where yet in sheltered spots
linger traces of last winters snow.
Others have needed the cali of
home drawing them from the
sunny southland, and, lest the
climatic transition prove too
abrupt from Miami to Montpel-
ier, from Palm Beach 10 Passump
sic, or from st. Petersburg to st.
Johnsbury, they have tarried a day
or two in the District of Column
bia where the lure of spring is
never more potent than in these
Towering days of waning April
and early May.
Maybe that partly accounts for
the selection of the Capital as
meeting place for an increasing
number of national, international,
and sectional conventions and the
synchronizing of them with the
advent of spring Anyhow, we
have had but now the Daughters
of the American Revolution and
the League of Women Voters as
fair feminine guests.
Among the score or more of the
former from the Green Mountain
state were a number who looked
IN upon the Vermonters who are
representing the state in Congress.
Included in this list We're Mrs. H.
y. Farnham of Montpelier, Mrs.
Arthur F.. Campbell of Barre,
Mrs. E. H. Prouty of Montpelier,
and Mrs. G. f.. Lamb Of Burling-
ton.
Ms. f. H. Prouty, of Mont
pelier. State Auditor for the y. A.
r., was joined in Washington
during the later days of the Con-
gress by Mr.. Prouty, and remained
in the city for time. Last FRI
day they were Congressman Dale's
guests at luncheon in the Capitol.
