flower" and mean "lots of Cana
dian love" which were introduced
last week as having been written
by Mrs. Stillman to Beauvais also

sentiments," she is reported' to
have said.

Stillman told of her fondness for
life iu the open and she and Mr.

"We always quarreled about
money," she said, discussing her
relations wtih Mr. Stillman.
"I wanted tenis courts and a
swimming pool on the estate and
more clothes for the children. Mr.
Stillman objected to the amount
of money spent In keeping up our
homeB." !

nurse of Guy Stillman since he
was four days old, was called for

' Poin care's Stand. -
Genoa, May 12. (By Associat
ed Press.) France will never
agree to the project for' a mixed
commission sitting indefinitely
while the conference is going on
to study Russian affairs, according
to a statement Issued by the
French delegation today.
, V Poincare To Decide
Genoa, May 12. The fate of
the Geona conference may be set
tled today in Paris, in the opinion
of many ot the delegates, and the
decision of Premier Poincare on
the 'ftussian reply to the allied
memorandum was awaited here
with-anxiety.
Prime Minister Lloyd George of
Great Britain and Slgnor Schanzcr,
Italian foreign minister have used
all their influence with the chief
of the French delegation, . M.
Barthau, to Impress on him that
the Russian note, although not as
favorabre as was hoped, .still
leaves the door open for discussion,
and perhaps for general agree
ment, - Can Break Up Session
They urged him to reflect this
opinion In his dispatches to the
premier. ; It Is believed, if left to
themselves, the majority of the
powers will favor continuance of
the discussion, but if France with
draws from the conference cer
tain of the other powers will fol
low her.
The number of such nations
might be enough to make impos
sible' hope of agreement with the
soviet, even if Mr. Lloyd George is
willing to continue the conference
without France. The latter con
tingency is improbable, however,
considering the storm of protest
such an indication of the collapse
of the entente might raise in
England.
V Truce Is Proposed
Genoa, May 12. Great Britain
has proposed a truce in eastern
Europe on the basis of the de facto
frontiers pending the conclusions
of a commission of inquiry to be
appointed, it was announced this
afternoon.
Jleply Termed "Stupid."
A statement of the British view
on the Russian reply, terms the
document "very stupid from the
vlewpoint.of Russian Interest" but
says Great Britain is not prepared
to adopt the view that Europe is
to be denied peace or the Russian
people further consideration 1b
their misery simply because ot a
stupid argument.
'As faiSi8 Russla'Is concerned,"
continued the statement, "help

rendered more difficult but that is
an affair of the Russian govern

Russia, will huve to wait some

"Regarding the other aspect of
the Russian document, namely,
the peace of Europe, this affords
a .atisfactory basis for further ne

ument would mean that the states
bordering on Russia might be ex-
