House Factions
Prepare for Test
or 1923 Navy Bill
First Showdown on Measure
Expected Saturday With
Both Sides Claiming
Victory.

Washington, April l5.-Housc fac
tions upholding and opposing the
1928 naval bill with its provision for
an enlisted iorcc of $1,000, were
lined up tonight for the first show
down, probobly on Saturday, with
both sides claiming victory.
There was no session today be-
cause. OF the death of Representa-
tive Benson OF North. Carolina, and
meanwhile the roundup Of members
for and against the bill continued.
Satisfied the house would stand by
it as framed, Chairman Kelley. who
is handling the bill on its tempes-
tious voyage, announced he would
not agree to the proposal put for
ward in some quarters, to delay until
after the Easter holidays the vote
on an amendment increasing the
strength to $4,000. With easy sail
ing in the early stages. the enlisted
personnel section ought to be reach
ed late tomorrow. with enough de-
bate under the five-minute rule to
prevent the first roll call before ad-
journment for the night.
Twenty-Five of the Sc members OF
the Pennsylvania delegation voted
at a conference, to stand for the 3d.
600 amendment. Two of these re-
served the right to change. if con-
vinced later that the committee fig
ure would maintain the 5-5-3 ratio.
Under house procedure the amend
ment will be adopted or rejected by
the committee of the whole without
roll cali. Should the big navy"
men win, the amendment would 60

! Work OF the American Committee
for Devastated France is receiving
highest commentator from states
men on both sides OF the Atlantic.
In a letter to the committee. Presi-
dent Harding says:
"The strong ties OF friendship ex-
isting between France and the
United States, aside from the real
need which exists for the ministra-
tons of your organization. make
this effort one which lies close to
the hearts of the American people.
II am glad, therefore, in this way
to add my word of endorsement and
commentator to the work in
which you are engaged"
The history of the American Com
mittee for Devastated France dates
back to 1917, when 10 American
women were stationed by Gen. Pc
tain at Blerancourt to look after
the physical and moral welfare OF
the small civilian population still

living there and to help make the
region habitable for refugees who

basis.

Other reports were that the Rus

were also officially denied.
Genoa, April l5.-(By A. P)-
Nikolai Leninc, soviet premier, will
come to Genoa 10 replace George
Chitcherin as head OF the Russian
delegation when the negotiations at
the economic conference reach the
proper stage, says the newspaper
Secolo.
Two currents OF opinion seem TO
have arisen in the delegation here.
One is absolutely intransigicnt in
favoring the proposals contained in
the report OF the allied experts. The
other favors acceptance OF the report
as basis for discussion on the fol-
lowing fundamental points:
Liberty of Commerce.
First, liberty OF commerce to be
insured to foreigners; second, the
granting OF juridical guarantees;
third, acknowledgement of the debts
accrued by Russia under the car
ist government if the allies are
ready to indemnify Russia for DAM
ages suffered from the Kolchak, Den
ikine and Wrangel armies.
According to the Russians, the III
demnity they claim far exceeds the
debts Of the czarist government.
The entire Russian delegation
agrees on rejection of all measures
aiming to introduce capitalization in
to their country or to. reduce it
juridically to the status of colony.
They chiefly object to the suggestion
of the experts that the verdict Of q
Russian law court against foreign
or cannot be carried OUT, without the
consent of a consul representing the
country Of which such a foreigner
is a citizen.
