I have destroyed more than all the wars of the world. I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns. I steal in the United States alono over $500,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and I find my vic tims among the rich and poor alike; the young and the old, the strong and the weak, widows and orphans know me. I loom Up to such proportions that I go into every corner of the earth leaving behind me destroyed homes, factories, ships, cities or anything that may get in my path.

RUSSIA OFFERS NEW PROPOSALS AT GENOA Soviet Demands Constitute Grave Problems France May Block Conference Efforts to bring out of the tangle into which the conference was thrown by knowledge of the Russo-German agreement, has occupied much of the time of delegates to the Genoa con ference during the past week. Another twist was added to the tangle Monday when the Russian del egates presented a new set of propos als in which they argue for the com plete wiping out of the war debt, re linquishment of all arrears in interest on pre-war debts, and asking assur ances that the allied powers would grant Russia loans sufficient to reor ganize her national liferv delega- tion is also holding firmly for recogni tion of the soviet government. The question of German reparations is again looming large, and promises to be one of the principal points un der discussion during the coming week. Failure on the pare of the allied delegations to meet this issue squarely may undo much of the work already accomplished by the confer ence, and seriously injure its chances for success. The fight against repar ations is led by the French delega tion, which may find themselves in the -position of either admitting repar ations or taking the responsibility for wrecking the conference. The French also continue to fight recognition of any part of the Russo German pact, and with much apparent success. .
