BY ARXO DOSCH-FLEUROT. (Copyright by the New York. World. Pub lisnea by Arrangement.) GENOA, April 23. (Special Cable.) The French delegates: today were drawing a reply to the German note about the treaty with Russia and with allied consent, the note will make it' clear to the Germans that they will be excluded from all meet ings that deal with the 'Russians. ' The Germans in their note, have agreed to consider themselves out of any meeting: where points covered by the treaty are to be discussed. But the French have induced the ten powers, which signed the reprimand of the Germans, to send a new reply explaining: to the Germans that their language is equivocal, and excluding them from such meetings in terms eo clear that there will be no further room for doubt. Immediate Meeting Demanded. This came In consequence of a note the French sent to ten powers this morning, demanding an immediate meeting to consider the German an swer to the reprimand. The French carried through their purpose at this meeting, although Lloyd George was caustic The French insisted that the wording of the German answer Would again, on a hitch, raise a ques tion of whetheer. the Germans should be permitted to discuss any points concerning Russia. Mr. Lloyd George called attention to the use. by the French of the words "Lying allegations' and said he pre ferred the word "inexact" to "lying, but Lloyd George agreed to let France frame the reply which, if all accept it tomorrow, will tell the Germans ex aetly where they stand. Foreign Min ister Schanzer of Italy supported the French position. Lloyd George Want Prosre. T want to get on with the work of the conference," remarked Mr. Lloyd George at this meeting. "I do not want to discuss a crisis every day. If these crises are continued the British delegation will have to Inform the British public and the world who causes them." This was a direct shot at the French but Louis Barthou took it coolly "When lie sent the note this morning, he merely repeated what Premier Poincare had ordered him to do. In fact, the French delegation was pushed by Faria to send the note this morning, which cams after everyone considered the German-Russian treaty Incident ended. At the Savoy hotel, the French headquarters, there was much agita tion all day at what many openly called a "stupid act, dangerous to the continuation of the entente." Obstruction la Continued. At the meeting, however, M. Bar thou faithfully continued the ob struction tactics evidently ordered from Paris. lie informed the invit ing powers and the allies that French experts would not meet with the Russians until the Russians ex plained a note, which they gave to the newspaper correspondents only, expressing their views about the ex propriation and Russia's ability to pay.

Before he had a chance to do so they were stolen and he had to explain to the customs authorities. They ' re fused to accept his explanation and ordered him to produce his charges.

WORK IS NOW UNDER WAY The Dalles - California Highway Also Is Soon to Be Finished or Under Contract. With the completion of contracts to be awarded at the May meeting of the highway commission, the Pacific highway will be paved 350 miles; from the interstate bridge to the California line, and the Old Oregon trail will be finished, making a highway from Idaho to the Pacific ocean. Nor will this be all, for The Dalles- California highway will be finished or under contract, all but a comparative ly few miles; the Mackenzie highway from Eugene to Bend and Redmond will be cleaned up to all intents, and the loop from Portland to Seaside, via Tillamook, will be mostly done. Another essential highway finished will be that running between Rose burg and Coos Bay and the Corvallia Newport highway. Both of these hig"ttways connect with the Pacific highway and lead across the. coast range mountains through passes, to the Roosevelt highway on the coast line. - Programme Near Completion, In short, the big, comprehensive road-making programme which was launched in the spring of 1917, is fast nearing competion. The work has progressed at such rate that the aver age resident does not realize the vast network of state highways which has been brought into being in the la3t five years. Main arteries, or primary highways, are about finished and leading sec ondary highways or laterals, are in the same advanced state of construc tion. All this work has cost millions of dollars and the funds at the dis posal of the highway commission are nearly exhausted. For the meeting called for May 9 the commission has listed some 137 miles, aggregating $1,500,000 of work. Of the various projects the longest and possibly most important is the Coos Bay-Roseburg highway. Bids for Section Rejected. Bids were called for a section of this a week ago, but were - rejected. Now the commission is advertising the surfacing of the road from Coquille to the Pacific highway, a distance of 65 miles. When surfaced this will complete the highway, for from Coquille to Marshfield a con crete pavement has already been laid by the state. From Alohler, in Tillamook, to the Clatsop county line five miles of grad- ng and surfacing has been ordered. his is a section of the Roosevelt or coast highway, and connects with the work in Clatsop county. In this coll ection it may be observed that there IS a strong piuottunuy vi ms juiuiiua- j on locating a section of the highway along the beach resorts through Brighton, Manhattan, Lake, Lytle, Rockaway, Elmore Park, Bar View and Garibaldi, where the county has already performed considerable grad ing. - Sherman Grading; Ordered. In Sherman county the commission has ordered eight miles of grading and surfacing from Biggs to the town of Wasco. South of Wasco the commission- has work under contract. There are only about 35 miles un finished on the Sherman highway. This will connect with The Dalles- California highway, and the Sherman highway finds more favor in the eyes f the federal aid engineers than the (Concluded on Page 9. Column 1.)

TRIBUTE PAID WORKERS "Washington Conference Begin' ning of Civilization; All Should m. Be Thankful," Says Guest. BALTIMORE, April 22. All the young women and most of the older women attending the Pan-American conference of women seemed to Quit listening attentively to the speakers as soon as Lady Astor appeared on the platform this afternoon, less than 10 minutes after she had stepped off a train from New York. -This viva cious Virginia girl who became the first woman member of the house of commons had hardly taken her seat when she began making short com ments of approval on the statements of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the suf frage leader, who was then address ing the delegates. "Hear, hear," or "that's right,' Lady Astor would say from time to time, and nearly everyone appeared to be interested more in her remarks than in those of the speakers. Finally, after two South American delegates had spoken, Mrs. Catt pounded the table, and said: "Lady Astor, I ve presided over many a meeting, but I never had so much trouble in my life as I have had since you came into this room None of these reporters is interested in woman suffrage but only in you. So, we'll have to let you talk some and then you can leave and give the reporters their interview." - . Tribute Paid to Others. She formally introduced Lady Astor as the "best known woman in all the world today, and one. whom every. body loves that knows her." 'I'm r-ere because the women have the vote," said Lady Astor. "Think what a disaster for the world if I had been hidden in a two-room cot tage instead of the house of com mons," she added with a laugh of mockery. 'My accomplishments are entirely due to the work the women did. It is through the labors of those who have gone before that I can now carry on my work for the reconstruction of the world. Whjfc I tell the women of England, I sometimes almost feel It shame for me to be representing them in the house of commons. Tou see, Lady Astor didn't have to smash window? and go to jail fighting for suffrage.- That was done by others, and ws younger ones who are enjoy ing the fruits ought always to be thankful to them. 'During the great suffrage move ment, I was busy populating the world," she explained, referring to her six children. 'I understood some of these South American, delegates are not suffrag ists," she said. "Well, why are they here? I'm sure they'll go back home as suffragists."- Catholic Land Backward. Mrs- Catt had just remarked that South America, a Catholic land, is the only continent where woman has not yet achieved suffrage. The Catholic suffrage women in England have a time of it," said Lady Astor. I can t for the life of e see what having the vote has to 4p with religion. Why, I think the creed that all men and '-omen are equal is the saving grace of religion." ' "I have been quoted as saying I didn't think much of the Washington conference. Think much of tie Washington conference!" she repeat- (Concluded on Page 4. Column 4.) Diva Is "Buried In Flowers After Ferformance Ends, and Cries With Pleasure. 'NEW YORK, April 22. Geraldine Farrar 's farewell appearance tonight with the Metropolitan Opera company was the greatest triumph of her ca reer as America's favorite prima donna. She sang for her swan song the role of Zaza, which eh created at the Metropolitan, then, crying and laughing, was carried from the audi torium on the shoulders of stage hands while the great audience cheered and showered her with flowers and gifts.- Long before the time for her per formance, crowds of opera lovers. Farrar lovers, crowded into the lobby of the opera house, clamoring for tickets. An hour before the perform ance every available foot of standing room was taken and several thou sands were turned away "at the box offices. When the curtain first arose on Zaza, the shower of flowers Btarted, and at the end Farrar was almost buried in them. Young admirers of the prima donna, who had come to be known at the opera as "Gerry flappers." kept the auditorium re verberating with their yell, "Hur rah, Farrar, Farrar, Hurrah!" And at one time' in the performance they stretched a huge white banner bear ing these worCs across the orchestra. A great American flag then was unfurled, and, while it waved over th heads of the audience, Farrar was given a jeweled scepter and crown, then a huge white stick with the words, "None but you, none but you," and signed "Gerry-flappers." Bal loons, to which bouquets of roses were attached, were sent floating over her head and great baskets of flowers were brought to her from the wings. When the opera ended Farrar brushed the tears from her eyes and said: "Twenty years ago I prayed and hoped and slaved that some day I Ight obtain an achievement within these walls. But I never dreamed of anything like this." Farrar then was carried to her automobile and buried In another avalanche of flowers: Finally the police cleared a lane through the crowd, the prima donna blowing kisses to her admirers as she was driven away.
