Itoriin Delegates Will Take No Further Part In the Negotiations Between Allies and Russians--Confer- •nee to Continue. Genoa, April 24.--Both the Germans and the Russians submitted their replies to the aliies' demands. The German reply accepts the allied proposal that the Germans take no further part In the negotiations between the allies and the Russians, but tbe reply does not modify the effectiveness of the Russo-German reply. The Russian reply accepts the allied proposal for payment of Russia's, debts, due to foreigrers, and the res-, toration of foreign property nationalized by Russia, in case the soviet regime Is granted recognition by the i&llled governments as a de Jure state, and Is given adequate financial assistance. The effect of the two replies Is to continue the German and Russian participation in the work here, and thus to bridge over the crisis which recently threatened to disrupt the conference. : While the soviet reply apparently accepts practically all the allied demands, the details of working out tbs plan and the amounts the Russians may expect In loans to restore their country admittedly present -• difficult problem, without any certainty that It can be solved and thus, complete the preliminaries necessary iW Russian recognition. In principle, Russia agrees to establish b new currency on* a gold basis and also to create a banking system similar to that existing in capitalistic states. With regard to the question of Russian debts due to foreigners and the rights of foreigners to the return of their property or compensation for damage, difficulty arises In reconciling the resolution of the Cannes supreme council, providing for noninterference In the sovereignty of any state, with the allied project of restitution or compensation for property. Russlu contended in reply that without violating its sovereignty it could not restore full ownership of property to foreign nationals. In support of their argument the soviet delegates cited tbe abolition of slavery in the United States, when there was no compensation to slave owners, and the American prohibition law, making no compensation to owners of liquor stocks. The committee of seven experts will endeavor to solve this difficulty by getting down to practical cases. The soviet delegates accept compensation in principle, provided its form be open to discussion and negotiations. The subcommisslon of ten members on Russian affairs, Germany now being eliminated, met the Russian delegates and informed them that their reply was satisfactory as a basis for discussion. The allies believe the Russian counter claims for damages due to Interventions will disappear from the discussions. The conference has yet to take up the Important problem of Russian courts and juridical guarantees. In the end It is hoped to piake a general treaty with Russia, of which recognition of the soviet government would be a feature. An English representative said the United States naturally was free to do what she pleased about the treaty, which It was hoped to prepare at Genoa. The allied proposals on finance to which the Russians replied were textually as follows: "Section 1. The creditor allle* governments represented at Genoa cannot admit any liability regarding the claims advanced by the soviet government \ "Section 2. In view of the serioui economic condition of Russia, bow^ ever, such creditor governments are prepared to write down the war debts owing by Russia to them by a percentage to be determined later; and the countries represented at Genoa would be prepared to consider not only the postponement of payments of interest upon financial claims, but also the remission of some part of the arrears of Interest or postponed interest "Section 3. It mrst be definitely agreed, however, that there can be no allowance made to the soviet government against: First, either debts or financial obligations due to foreign nationals; or, second, the right of such nationals regarding the return of their property and compensation for damage or loss in respect thereof."'

Bar-le-Duc, France, April France will, if necessary, undertake alone to see that the treaty of Versailles is executed if the Germans default in their reparations payments, Premier Poincare intimated in a speech before the general council of the department of the Meuse. May 31, when the Germans must either accept the conditions laid down by the reparations commission or default in their payment, would be an important date for France, said the premier. It was France's duty, he added, "in full Independence" to assume the duty of maintaining the Integrity of the Versailles convention. "All we have ever asked, and all we ask today, is the execution of the treaty," said M. Poincare, "and that we must have and shall have. The peace of Europe depends upon it. Our future and our national prosperity depends upon it. "It is not by precipitate action or by decisions without reflection that we shall obtain it It is by persevering and methodical action. But it must be done." The premier declared he ardently hoped for the co-operation of the allies In case Germany defaulted. "But, according to the terms of the treaty," he added, "each may in case of need take, respectively, such measures as are deemed necessary, and we shall not suffer it that our unfortunate country succumb under the burden of reparations alongside of a Germany that does not consent to make the necessary effort to discharge her debts. "We shall defend, In full independence, the French cause, and we shall not abandon any arms tbe treaty gives U8." Referring to the charges of militarism and imperialism made against France, M. Poincare said: "The Imperialism of France is a current theme in some countries, in which we are charged with ulterior motives of conquest. I do not know of a single French public man who has ever dreamed of territorial annexation. But who does not understand today, after the Rapello accord (the Russo-German treaty), the imprudence there would be in our disarming too rapidly. "That accord brings out into the full light the sympathies which had developed in the darkness between the Bol-^ shevikl and the Germans." M. Poincare referred to the discoveries of stocks of arms and munitions in Silesia, the formation of police organizations In Germany composed of former noncommissioned officers, which, he said, were so easily transformed into a framework of military force. He instanced these things, as well as the pan-German agitation, to justify the precautions of France. "Things are going in Germany," he said, "as if the pan-Germans were watching for an opportunity to foment trouble sooner or later. , "What is going on at Genoa," con-, tlnued the premier, "singularly con-* f firms all we knew of the state off" mind of too great a portion of theji empire. How long back had Germany^ prepared the treaty with the solvet government and are we sure the treaty has been entirely published? Is It or Is it not accompanied by secret clauses? Is It simply a shield for political and military conventions?" Premier Poincare announced that if the French delegation at Genoa could not go ahead with its work under the agreed conditions France would regretfully have to cease participation In the conference. Chicago.--Well-dressed men and women of an exclusive South side neighborhood crowded the Hyde Parte police station to Identify silverware, furs and clothing stolen from them, following the astonishing confession of Edward Collins, alias George Williams, 18 East Twenty-first street, Chicago's "de luxest" burglar. Collins, whose criminal record dates back to 1904, when he was sent to Joliet for burglary, was arrested by Sergeants John Mulcahy, Fred Webster and John Ruddy at Forty-sixth street and Woodlawn avenue. They bad been looking for him for weeks. His confession, made to Capt. Patrick J. McCaley of the Hyde Park station, and to Chief Fltzmorris, will account for $500,000 worth of stolen goods and Incidentally disclose a huge "dope" ring, police believe. Collins robbed more than 200 homes. MSystem" Wins Police Comment. "All the smooth workers I've ever seen are boobs compared to Cjplllns," said Captain McCauley, in grudging admiration of the burglar's "system." Collins always made sure his victim was away at the time of his call. To make doubly sure, on entering the hallway he would push the door button three times. The rest--the jimmying of the locks--was easy. His only tools were the jimmy and an ammonia pistol, filled with water, that looked like an automatic. He said that in his long career he has used it but twice. A special velvet-lined trousers pocket was for diamonds alone. After rifling the householder's choicest effects he would pile them Into a suitcase (also found In the apartment), telephone for a taxi cab and saunter leisurely downstairs.
