RUMANIAN SCHOOL CHILDREN
WANTED TO RETURN FAVOR
TO U. S. JUNIOR RED CROSS
BUCHAREST, April 19. Chil
dren in a village school near Bucha
rest have contributed $3 in lei
(Francs) to aid the children of fami
lrfes made destitute by the destruction
of the Knickerbocker theater in
Washington, D. C.
Unable to visualize the vast extent
of the United States, the youngsters
believed the collapse of the theater
was a disaster affecting the entire
American peop'e. Rumanian children
have received much help from their
little American brothers and sisters,
through the junior Red Cross, and
they choose this method of showing
their appreciation.

RUSSO-GERMAN TREATY
MAY AFFECT MATTER OF
GERMAN REPARATIONS
Ouestion Is Whether Treatv
Violates the Versailles
Treaty in Respect to Ger
man Owned Property in
Russia To Be Put Up to
Reparations Commission.
I (By The Associated Press.)
1'AKIS, April lb. The reparations
j commission is to be asked to consider
whether the Ku&so-t ierman treaty signed
at Hapaalo on Sunday violates the treaty .
of Vtrsailles in respect to the German
owned property in Kussia. This proper
ty, under the Versailles pact, is pledged
to the commission fur payment of repa
rations. The French government will await tin
action of the commission before taking
up the ipiestinn ollicially with the Allio--.
It is held, however, in official circles
here that 'there is a distinct violation of
the Versailles treaty, and it is declared
that whatever action the Genou confer
ence may take, the Allied powers can
not toh'rate the pact.
The resources of the allies against
the pact is the same as that against otlo r
violations of the peace treaty, and the
j present case is regrdeil only as aiming
lone more to the other cmises of action
on the (ierniau question which the Allies
will take up immediately after the Genoa '
conference.
Il was a mi iiiiiced this afternoon th.it
Premier I 'oi m ar.- had requested Louis
Dubois, French member of the repara
tion cauiiui -si in. to place ollicially In
fore the oiumivsion the question of the
validity and legality of the Kusso-Uer-mau
pact. The premier also has asked
tin ether Allied governments to give
similar instructions to their delegates on
the commission.
"omiiicii! ing on the Hole Rent by the
Allies to (iermaiiy yesterday the entire
Italian press is agreed in declaring that
the note suggested bv i'resmier I.loyd.
4 - teorge was much str inger than the note
' act ually sent, containing a much more
violent protesi. 1 ho note, Iney say. was
dignified in tone, due chiefly to the con
ciliatory efforts of Foreign Minister
Schanzir. of Italy, who pointed out that
the chief object of all the delegates was
to prevent the breaking up of the con
ference and the conseiuent failure of its
aims, with results the gravity of which
wa dillicult to foresee.

AGAINST HER
CONFERENCE
(By The Associated Tress.)
CK.NOA, April in. Dr. Walte
Kalhenau, the (ierniau Foreign Minister,
eoiii'eired with I'rime Miiiiter LIoyl
(ieorge, of (ireat Hritain, ami Foreign
Minister t'hitcherin, of Kussia, today,
regarding the barring of the Germans
from the liussiau commission of tha
conference. The Germans will proba
bly submit u formal reply tonight to
the Allied note on this subject.
Many other informal conferences weru
held with legal exports of the various
delegations iu an effort to bring out tho
exact scope of the entente note.
;i;OA, April 19. The Genoa eon
fereme apparently has Ix-eit saved. Foe
the last two days it hail been tottering
mi the edge of collapse, due to indigna
tion of some of the more important
lea. Los over the action of the Germans
and Hussions in secretly concluding a
treaty covering the principal and moot
delicate points under consideration Ljr
the conferees. '
Now, however, Ihe ilelegateH are ("0
go fniwnid with their work, but the
derma ns are barred from participation
in all deliberations concerning the Kuk-
si:t n iiiestion. This venalty was laiil
:,ev. n in a note of censure sent to the
j llerlin delegation yesterday after all
lay consideration of the situation by
representatives of the five inviting pow
'ers and the little entente.
! '-Whilst the conference wns flitting
and whilst (lermany wan represented oil
j the commission ami sub-coiuinisflioit
I charged with the negotiations of Euro
j pea n peace with liussiu," gnid tho
j note, "the Co rin.'in representatives oil
that commission have behind tho back"!

tinns which t'lev- bad undertaken tn

r, s..iii-.i
hit
of th,
- other nations
Whether Cernumy will continue at tho
conference is problematical, hut her
delegates are engaged ill drafting a re
plv to the note of censure,' and it ii
Mnuight that, while protesting their de
barinent from the commissions dealing
with Russian affairs, they will bo cou
tent fx remain.
Their reply is expected to make tho
point that only the full conference has
power to oar tnem, ami in tins tney aro
.supported
by the neutral nations, ho
Denmark, whose delegates aU
added, bv
ready have
protested to the coufereneo
leaders.
Furthermore, Dr. Walter Rathenau,
Ci nil. hi Foreign Minister, maintains tho
conversations with Russia were not ae
. ret, as he says Prime Minister Lloyil
(ieorge, of t ireat Hritain, was notified
last week, through another member of
the British delegation, that the Ger
mans --could not agree to the program
contained in the report of the Allie.l
experts, ami were forced to negotiate!
with Russia ilireit.
