Germany wouia not dare take ths in

Biblin, March 29 < Associated Preaa).
??Dr. Walter Katbetiau. in a .speech in
tne Reichstag, to-day expressed an
'.?arnest hope that the United States
would take a hand in adjusting Ger
many's financial obligation* He com
mented generally on America's relations
to European affair*.
"It' is a faljacy," said Dr. Rathenau. J

"I quite well understand Ame>jca's
aversion to becotnlng entangled in JKUiO
i>eah economics, and in the light of he>'
experiences 1 cannot blame her if she
now Is Inclined to avert Iter ayes from
Europe."
The Foreign Minsiter expressed the
l>elief that the impression that the for
eign trade of the United States with
Germany was only 5 per cent, of the
total was erroneous, and that the figure
ivas nearer 25 per cent., a factor which
ho thought America, in the long run.
uould be unwilling to dispense with.
Rcaponsililllty of < lie I", S.
Kven allowing that the sentiment In
Ine United States was opposed to ren
dering aid to a continent which still was
spending money on armament. Dr. Rath
enau observed that the United States,
in the course of time, would realize that
!t was not practical to dictate conditions
to a drowning matt and not feasible until
the spirit of peace had wholly perme
ated the continent before coming to the
relief of Europe.
Referring to the netv Ambassadors
- appointed by Germany to the United
.States and by the United States to Ger
many, Dr. Rathenau said :
"I extend my cordial welcome to the
n?>w American Ambassador CAlanson B.
Houghtoo) and trust that his mission to
Germany will prove a happy and pro
ductive one for both countries. Never
did a nation hold the fate of the Conti
nent in the hollow of her hand so in
disputably as does the United States at
this moment.
?-.."Such a position implies a grave rneas
Ufe of responsibility. We therefore are
fitltled to expect that the United States
111 not decline to participate in the dis
cission which concerns the definite ad
I'vstment of Germany's financial obliga
tions."
. Referring to the Interallied Repara- j
ttons Commission's decision, Dr. Rathe- i
H.Mi said It was a most bitter disap- j
jnolntment for Germany. "AVe intend to
t?ll the commission," he declared, "that
tftider the present '?onditions of de
T>:^clated money we expected a dlfTerent
lrfan of payment."
Dr. Rathenau repudiated the idea that
the ruin of Germany's exchange was at
tributable only to the excessive Issue of
!>*nk notes. He declared it was due to
(Jer.nany's passive trade balance. He |
a-dded that the notion that Germany's
industries were flourishing was false. i

Red Plot.
Kioa. March 29 (Associated Press).
?The members of the Russian Soviet
delegation to the Genoa conference,
headed by George Tchitclierin, the
Bolshevist Foreign Minister, which
arrived here this morning, immedi
ately began making arrangements for
the next leg of their journey to Italy,
going through the Lithuania-Polish
corridor Into Germany and thence to
Switzerland.
It Is said by some of the delegates
that Nikolai Lenine may yet go to
Genoa if he feels better than at pres
ent and If It Is decided that his pres
ence at the conference Is necessary.
The first day spent by the delegates*
on foreign soli was a most Interesting
one. for some of them had not been out
side Russia for years. Their program
Included appointments, visits to the
Baltic Conference, the receiving of
callers or the dodging of them and the
giving of interviews to the newspaper
correspondents. This evening the dele
gates attended the theater.
The Soviet party. In addition to M.
Tchltcherln, consists of Maxim Lltvl

The Soviet train entered Latvia with
all lighls extinguished owing to reports
having gained circulation of threats by
the anli-Boishevlkl to blow It up. Tchlt
cherln. Joffe. LltvinofT, Leonid Krassine,
who already was In Riga, and some
others of the delegation are the guests
of the Soviet Minister to Latvia.
Tchltcherln wa? the busiest of att~t1i*
'T>el?gales. He had so many engatpe
ments that at one time he took one man
with whom he liad an engngement In
his automobile and conferred with him
while speeding to keep another appoint
ment.
All the Soviet delegates wear a red
star with a gold sickle and a hammer
in the lapel of their coat. It was no
ticeable this morning that most of the
members of the delegation had on shoes
that were badly worn. This afternoon,
however, most all of th<m had new
patent leather shoes.
The Soviet party traveled on a train
or eight cais hauled by two wood bum
leg locomotives, and were accompanied
ftom the frontier by twenty-four Lat
vian soldiers. Despite the efforts made
to keep the time of the delegation's ar
rival secret, owing to reports of plots
against the Soviet representative*, a
considerable crowd had assembled out
side the station. No unauthorized per
son was allowed to enter the station.

The attempt made laat night to mur
der Prof Haul N. Milukoff la believed to
b<4 the outcome of a plot worked out in
the assembly of Russian monarchlats
here on March 10. A gathering of Rus
sian monarchist* was raided to-day by
the police, who arrested thirty pemona.
It wan learned they had been holding
secret meeting* for the last three day*.
Interrogation of tin- prisoners Indi
cated that several Russians, unpopular
among the monarchists, were to be mur
dered, and that persons even had been
chosen as the aaaaaina. Prof. Milu
koff's death was to be the signal for
a number of similar killings
As it was ?hown that SihabelsUI
Prok and .larlbo* Taborltzkl, the two
'xarlst officers who flred at Milukoff,
had > iime from Munich especially to U'I
him. file police are investigating at
Munich. whl< it Is one of the headqunrt-M *
of the Ruasian reactionaries. Home

monarchists in Munich, nnd that th??
Russians rweived the support of their
political friends. Mrok admitted to th>
police that lie and Taborltxkl went to the
hall to kill Milukoff.
The activity of the Ruasian monar
chists seems t>> luive been brought to a
head purposely Just before the Genoa
conference, a report stating they have
conferred nlth (len. Wrangle at Re|
grade and demanded that he openly
sdopt a program for the rcestabllshment
of the monarchy or they would with
draw their support.
There Is a demand that the Russians
in Germany be compelled to desist from
political intrigue and propaganda. If
they continue to abuse German hospi
tality they must be expelled some
imperii siiy. Milukoff himself chargea
the Russian monarchists with trving 10

CANNES AGREEMENT SETS
BASIS FOR GENOA PARLEY
Allied Powers Formulated Conditions Which Must Be
Met to Restore Economic Equilibrium and to Bring
Russia Back Into Family of Nations.
The Cannes agreement, upon which
Premier Lloyd George will ask a vote
of confidence, lava down the basis for
the Genoa conference. It consists of this
resolution made public yesterday by the
Supreme Council at Cannes on Janu
ary 6:
"The allied Powers, met In conference,
are unanimously of the opinion that a
conference of an economic and flnancial
nature should be called during the first
weeks of March Lthe date was changed
later to April 9] at which all the Eu
ropean Powers?Germany. Austria, Hun
gary, Bulgaria and Russia included??
should be Invited to send representatives.
They consider that such a conference
constitutes an urgent and essential step
toward the economic reconstruction of
central and eastern Europe. They are
of the Arm opinion that the Prime Min
isters of each nation ought, if possible,
to take part themselves at this confer
ence so that the recommendations can
be acted on as quickly a* possible.
"The allied Powers consider that the
restoration of the international com- ,
merce of Europe as well as the develop
ment of the resources of all countries is
necessary to increase the amount of
productive labor and lessen the suffering
endured by the European peoples.
"A common effort by the most power
ful Stales is necessary to restore to the :
European system its vitality which is
now paralyzed.
"This effort ought to be applied to the ;
suppression of all obstacles in the way ;
of commerce. It ought to be applied
also to granting largo credits to the
moet feeble countries and to the coopera
tion of all for the restoration of normal
production.
"The allied Powers consider that the
fundamental and Indispensable condi
tions for the realisation of an efficacious
effort are capable of being defined la
general terms as follows:
"(1) Th? nations cannot claim th? |
riKlit- tx> dictate to each other Die prin
ciples to which they must organize with
in their frontiers, their regime of prop
erty, their economy and their govern
ment. Jt is the right of each country to
choose for Itself the system which it
prefer*.
"(2) Nevertheless It is not possible to
place foreign capital in order to help a
country unless the foreigners who pro
vide the capital have a certitude that
their property and their rights will be
respected and that the fruits of their
enterprise will be assured.
"(3). This feeling of security cannot
be reestablished unless nations or their
governments desiring to obtain foreign
credits freely engage: (a.) to recognize
all public debts and obligations which I
have been contracted, or will be con- '
tracted or guaranteed by States, muni
cipalities or other public organizations,
and to recognize also obligations to
restore, or in case of default to indem
nify all foreign interests for loss or
damage which has been caused by the
confiscation or sequestration of prop
erty; (b) to establish legal and Juristic
punishment and assure the Impartial
execution of all commercial and other
contracts.
"(4). The rations ought to have
available convenient means of exchange.
In general, financial and monetary con
ditions ought to exist which offer suf
ficient guarantees.
"(5). All nations ought to encage to
abstain from all propaganda which Is
subversive of the political system estab
lished In other countries.
"(6). All nations ought to take a
common engagement to abstain from all
aggression on their neighbors.
"If with a view to assuring the neces
sary conditions for the development of
the commerce of Russia the Russian
Government claims official recognition,
the Allied Governments cannot accord
this recognition unless the Russian Gov
ernment accepts the preceding condi
tions."
LOOSE TALK A WAR
PERIL, SAYS ROOT
It Is New Danger Which May
Accompany Open
Diplomacy.
Sax Kba.vcisco, March 29.?Open di
plomacy "is one of the good things that
necessarily must come with the control
of foreign affairs by the people them
selves. but open diplomacy does not
mean the exclusion of common sense,"
Ellhti Root declared In an address here
to-day.
"While the Intrigue of the old school .

"When two'men mlsuti'derafahd each
other their troubles usually can be- set

things over," he said. "That Is JUst
what happened In the four Power
treaty." *
Such conferences, lie added, ha3 avert
ed war at least twice in the past and
would have done so in 19W if Sir Edward
Grey's plans had succeeded.
"If there is a controversy, the most
important thing Is to get someone to
change his mind." he continued. "If
he is wrong, make it easy for him to
admit It; if you are wrong, keep In a
position where you can admit It.
"The man who comes out publicly
does not dare to change his mind. It Is
more Important that before you get a

Is what happened in the four Power

"Half truths sometime* Involved In
open diplomacy should not be pressed
too far.
"More quarrels have come from Insults
than from Injuries. If democracy Is to
conduct foreign affairs without taking
the nation into strife II must not give
cause for resentment In the minds of
other peoples." .
Mr. Root said a "vindictive minority"
rouId carry things to s point to whkfli
the great majority would not agree,
' with no punishment until the great,
good natured majority decides to act
against the public orator who stirs up
friendly nations."
"We are venturing now on a great
undertaking of directing foreign rela
tions," he added, "and the people of the
United States should make It the first
great lesson of their duties to punish
with disapproval the man who wilfully
stirs up the animosity of foreign coun
tries."
Mr. Root said this could he done by
refusing votes at the polls to the men
working against the peace of the world
and by ntopping their patronage and
advertising In'newspaper* guilty of the
same. He continued:
"It should be understood that the
American people will taboo loose ami
unfriendly talk about the people of
other nations, and such punishment will
be the first great step In our conduct of
foreign affairs.

A military detachment In the Ballagh

ENVER THREATENS
BOLSHEVIST RULE
Organizing' Army Of 70,000
Men in Turkestan to
Fight Reds.
HAS SPLIT WITH MOSCOW
Mohammedan Leaders, Denied
Independence, Plan Military
Operations Soon.
Bperlal Cable to Tin Nbw York Hhum>.

New lark Herald Bureau, )
Berlin, March 2!>. I
Enver Pasha, former Turkish War
Minister, has turned against the Bol
shevllit and is organising an army of
70,000 in Turkestan. Grave doyeloo
ments are expected and Central Asia
may soon become tlie theater for fight
ing Reds and Mohammedans. Oriental
circles here have authentic news of
Enver Pasha's movements and point out
the recent events in Russia which led
to a split between the former Turkish
War Minister and Moscow.
The Mohammedans in Turkestan hava
been struggling for Independence ever
since the Russian revolution. The con*
stitutlon of Central Asia along Soviet
lines was regarded as making Tur
kestan merely a vassal of Moscow in tiie
name of independence.
Soviet leaders kept promising com
plete independence to Turkestan in order
to frighten England Into an agreement
with Russia by menacing British . In
terests in India. For the same reason
Moscow used Enver Pasha, who adopted
Bolshevist principles and cooperated
with trie Soviets because he needed their
support to carry out his pan-Islamic
anti-British plans.
Last fall Enver Pasha convoked the
representatives of the principal Moham
medan countries at Mosc6w. During and
after the negotiations Mohammedan
leaders declared that Moscow's support
was insincere because it did not desire
to pUBh anti-British activities so far as
to jeopardize an agreement with, Eng
land.
After an agreement had been made
between Premier Lloyd George and
Greogry Krassine the attitude of the
Soviets toward Eriver Pasha became
even more reserved. (He consequently
adopted a new policy. He .went to
Batum, telling the Bolshevlkl that he
would organize forces there to send
against the Greeks. He really merely
wished to get out or reach of the {Mos
cow Government. From Batum he went
immediately to Turkestan.
Enver Pasha is now at Ferghana. The
leaders of the Mohammedans in Central
Asia, who number about 30,0(10,000, at
first mistrusted Enver Pacha owing to
his cooperation ?with the Soviets. Now,
however, that he has assumed an attl
tuda of open hostility toward Moscow
he has been received with open arms.
It Is predicted that as soon as Enver
Pasha has completed his organization
In Turkestan military operations against
the Soviets may begin.
The attitude of Afghanistan, which
has a population of 10,000,000 and ?n
army of 200,000, probably Will be neu
tral. The reason for this is {hat treaties
exist between Afghanistan anil Moscow,
but the sympathies of ttu? Afghans wul
be with Enver Pasha's side, Whose alms
conform to theirs. Afghanistan recently
attached particular importance to the
establishment of relations with Ger
many. For example, thirty young
Afghans are on their way to Berlin to
attend school here and It Is announced
that more will follow.

Montreal, March 29. ? Prof. J. A.
Morin, accused by his superior in the
department of modern languages at Mc
Qlll University, Dr. Herman Walter, of
attempted murder last August, was
placed on trial to-day in the Court of
King's Hencli.
Dr. Walter complained that Frof.
Morin poisoned the water In his well at
a summer camp In L'Islet county, cut
rings on his fruit trees in order to kill
them and threatened him. At the out
set of the trial the prosecution produced
material as having been found in Prof.
Walter's well. It was identified as parls
green by the Provincial analyst. Dr.
Derome.
Then the plaintiff took the stand and
said a threatening letter he received
was in Prof. Morin's handwriting.
A servant girl employed by Prof.
Morin said on the stand that she had
heard the professor say he "had
poisoned Walter's well," but that "none
saw mo do It."
Another witness. Irene Gamache, told
of seeing the professor leave his home
with a psckag* under lils arm and go
toward Prof. Walter'", well. She an id

claims the chisel was used to force the
door of the well. Gamache said ho
had thought It lost, but It turned up In
a rusty condition, and he then left it
in a shed to which Morin had access.
The next time he saw It, he testified,
it was clean.
Handwriting experts clashed later In
the afternoon. The first called, a Dr.
Payne, declared a threatening anony
mous letter received by Walter corres
ponded with writing in Morin's class
register. The second. Jean Charbon
neau, contended that the letter and sev
eral other exhibits were written by
Waiter.
It was his contention that the writ
ing showed a pronounced tendency to a
Gothic style, such as Is used by Ger
