Genoa. A clash over a disarmament proposal by George Chltcherln, the Russian soviet foreign minister, which occurred between Chltcherln and M. Barthou, France, threatened to disrupt the International conference shortly after it opened here Monday. Russia, the status of which is one of the questions ot supreme import ance to be decided by the conference, came to the forefront soon after the opening of the assembly. Speeches had been made by the presiding offi cer Premier Facta of Italy; M. Bar thou, representing France; Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain; Dr. Wirth of Germany and spokesmen of Japan and Belgium, all of a concilia tory nature and voicing adherence to the Cannes resolutions, upon which the present gathering is based. Mr. Lloyd George had said that all the delegates met on a footing of equal ity, provided they accepted the condi tions set forth, which briefly declared that countries must not repudiate their contracts, that they must not engage in aggressive operations against others and that the people of one country should be entitled to justice in the courts of another. George Chltcherln, the Russian so viet foreign minister, in speaking for his delegation, announced their adher ence to the resolutions and then de clared that Russia was ready to sup port any proposals that would avoid war or lighten the burden of arma ment. Mr. Barthou immediately protested and declared with some heat that France would absolutely refuse to dis cuss the question of disarmament at this conference. Mr. Lloyd George hastened to inter vene, and in his contention that dis armament could not be taken up, cer tainly not before a peace basis had been reached at Genoa, he was sup ported by SIgnor Facta. Eventually the discussion on this point ceased and Mr. Chltcherln said the Russian government would bow to the collective will of the conference. The clash between the Russian and French delegates disclosed the fact that disarmament Is not on the agenda and that therefore this matter is not to be taken up for consideration. The keynote of Lloyd George's speech was peace and he made a powerful appeal to the delegates to work in uni son for the restoration of good rela tions and normal economic conditions throughout the world. He believed that if the conference was successful In Its achievements, the United States would not merely come in, but come In gladly." The Italian premier, who was elected permanent chairman of the confer ence, was equally earnest in his desire for unanimity and promised the aid of Italy In carrying out any resolution likely to guarantee peace and stability among the nations. M. Barthou pledged loyal support of France in whatever the conference might do to put Into execution the tasks of reconstruction and good rela tionship which It had mapped out. The British delegation professed to be pleased with the progress of the conference. General acceptance of the definite principle of the Cannes reso lution makes certain that the delibera tions will continue, with every pros pect of success, It was said. Disappointment was felt at M. Chlt- cherin's pressure on questions regard ed as outside the Cannes agenda, be cause France's opposition naturally was aroused and threatened the gath ering at the very outset British and allied diplomats admit that Mr. Lloyd George rose not a mo ment too soon to dissipate the menace by appealing to common sense. 60 Per Cent on Strike. Washington, D. C. Production of bituminous coal dropped to 3,500,000 tons the lowest In modern coal his tory while work in the anthracite fields "ceased entirely" during the first week of the coal strike, according to a review of the Industry Issued Sun day by the United States geological survey. Reports received by the sur vey Indicated that from 60 to 64 per cent ot the bituminous tonnage of the country has been closed down by the strike, while ot the remainder "a sig nificant portion has not been operat ing recently for lack ot demand."

STOCK UP IN MILLIONS Whether Find Is Linked With Probe la Not Known Officials Scout Presence of Fraud. Washington, D. C A bundle of 2000 new five-dollar bills which showed no deterioration was found by a boatman Friday floating in the Potomac river near the Virginia side, across from Washington, It was learned. The boatman turned the $10,000 over to the department of justice. Whether the bills came originally from the bureau of engraving and printing or whether their finding had anything to do with the order for an Inventory to be taken in the division ot the bureau which makes bank notes and other government securities could not be learned. Director Hill and a corps of 600 assistants began taking the inventory at midnight Saturday night. Part of the bureau was ordered clos ed Saturday by Secretary Mellon for an inventory ot the stock valued at many millions of dollars. James L. Wllmeth, director ot the bureau, was removed last week by order of Presi dent Harding. Mr. Motion's order applied only to the divisions ot the bureau which handle the paper used in making bank notes, stamps and government securi ties, it being explained that a quicker and more accurate check of the paper stock could be made by a temporary halting of all paper work. About 1500 employes of the bureau force of 6000 would be ordinarily af fected by the order, officials said, but about 600 will be used as counters and all others having annual leave to their credit will be given the benefit of it. According to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Wadsworth, in charge of the bureau, the Inventory is to be taken as a check of the stock on hand In the plant against the books In much the same fashion that stock is taken by a manufacturer for the year. Check of the bureau's store of bank notes, stamps, government securities, paper, plates and other supplies, which officials said total an enormous amount In value, was begun by a com mittee appointed by Mr. Mellon, rep resenting all the departments, such as the treasury federal reserve board and postofflce department, which have work done at the plant, and a staff of justice department agents assigned to Louis A. Hill, the new director, by Attorney-General Daugherty. Mr. Wadsworth said he expected the count to be completed within a week at the outside. Whether the results of the Inventory will be made public, as is customary when the cash in the treasury Is counted, has not yet been considered, according to treasury officials.

CHAPTER X Continued. 10 That afternoon he met Captain Mac Cauley on State street The sight of Reggie's slim swaggering figure brought Philip to a quick decision. He stopped directly In front of Brown, and, as It was the first time they'd met since the memorable moment when Reggie had been flung in the lake, they looked embarrassedly Into each other's eyes. "So you decided to come home?" asked Philip, his voice sharply toned. Reggie gathered together his cour age and curled his lips. Why should he be afraid of a Salvation army cap tain even If he were rich? "It looks like it, doesn't It?" he sneered. "And It's none of your busi ness, anyway." "It's my business about how you treat Tony Devon," Philip began, but Reggie's fresh outburst cut off his words. "Nobody'll ever treat her any way after this," he almost groaned. "She's dead, drowned In the lake." A horrified expression passed over Philip's face. Then he realized that Reginald didn't know of Tony Devon's presence In the Pendlehaven home. "She's better off then than she was the last time you sow her," he said and whirled away. Twenty minutes later Philip was talking to John Pendlehaven. "You promised last night I could see her today," he pleaded. "I'll promise only to stay a few minutes. May I go up?" "No; I'll call Tony down," was the reply. "I don't wnnt Paul disturbed today." When the boy and girl stood facing each other, embarrassment kept them silent for some moments. Philip had decided to find out whether Tony knew of Reginald Brown's connection with the Pendlehavens, although he was positive In his own mind she did not. "It's a nice day," he blurted out, and Tonnlbel's low "yes" was her Tony, Don't You Like Me at All?" only answer. How pretty she looked, thought Philip, and how much he de sired to kiss her as he had the other time In the breaking dawn on the shore of Lake Cayuga. Tony," he said huskily, "don't you don't you like me at all?" Tonnlbel opened her eyes to their fullest extent Why, hadn't she kissed him, oh, ever so many times? No girl would do that She blushed and studied the tip of her pretty shoe. "Don't you, Tony, or if you don't, couldn't you?' pleaded the boy. MM By GRACE MILLER WHITE "I like you heaps," she breathed with suppressed emotion. She wanted to throw her arms about him right then, to tell him how she had longed to be with him, all about her promise that she would not leave the house again without some one with her. She was considering this when "I wanted to ask you If you've seen that man again?" said Philip. "The one I" "You slung In the lake?" Interrupted Tonnlbel, a dimple peeping out at the corner of her mouth. "No, never. I guess old Reggie thinks I'm dead, don't you?" "I saw hiin in town today," he told her finally and then almost cursed himself for his brutality, She had gone so white and was looking about her helplessly. "He'll find me, mebbe," she hesitated, a haunted expression coming Into her eyes. "Mebbe he will." "No, he wont; not If you let me help you," exclaimed Philip." "Now, listen to me I Don't go out of Cousin Paul's rooms for anything, no matter what. Call a servant If you want any thing downstairs. And don't leave the house unless you go with me. I want your promise that you will not come downstairs. Will you give It to me?" Tony didn't understand why she should promise this, and a whimsical thought came into her mind that she was always making promises to some one, but she couldn't refuse him, and Philip went away a little happier and feeling much more secure. CHAPTER XI. "I Love You More'n the Whole World I" One late afternoon Philip MacCau ley started for the Pendlehavens', de sirous of seeing Tony Devon. Kather lne saw him guiding his car up the roadway and ran to the door to meet him. Her smile was especially radiant, for she had begun to lose her fear about Tonnlbel's Influence over him. "Sit down, Phil," she entreated. "Mother's sick today. Reggie almost sets her Into fits." Philip still remained standing. "And you've kept away so much, dear boy," complained the girl. "It seems you don't care for us any more." "I do, though, but I've been busy," replied Philip, not able to think of any other excuse. "But you've always been busy, more or less," the girl shot back, "and yet you came. Mother and I have come to the conclusion that you couldn't have been very much Interested In In Cousin Paul's protegee. You haven't even asked about ber." Philip coughed embarrassedly, then laughed. "The fact Is, I came to see her to day," he exclaimed. Katherlne went wax white. "What do you want to see her for?" she asked sharply. "Oh, just to talk to her," replied MacCauley, awkwardly. Katherlne shook her head. "I don't believe you can," she pro tested dubiously. "Cousin John won't let any of us go up to Paul's room, and she never comes down any more." "Where's Reggie?" demanded the boy. "Oh, he's gone to Trumansburg to day," answered Katherlne. listlessly. "And I am glad of It. I wish he'd nev er come back. He keeps mother in tears most of the time he's here." "And Cousin Johnl I want to ask him if I can take Miss Devon " Katherlne's head went up in dis dain. "I know what you want to ask him," she Interrupted tartly. "But you needn't waste your sympathy on that Devon Girl. But mamma says " Before she could tell him her moth er's opinion, the door opened and Dr. Pendlehaven walked In. "Cousin John," said Philip, abruptly, going to him, "may I take Miss Miss Devon out for a little ride? I'll prom ise to bring her back In an hour." The doctor looked at the boy's dark pleading eyes, looked and then smiled. "Perhaps you won't have any better luck than I have had, am" he an swered with a little laugh. "I've al most been down on my kmes to the child, and she absolutely refuses." "Mother's dreadfully against her rid ing In our car, Cousin John," Kath erlne cried In thin, throaty tones. "The thought of It makes her sick." "Your mother's not really sick, my dear Katherlne," the doctor asserted. "Ah, here she is. Katherlne was just speaking of you, my dear Sarah." A merry twinkle came Into his eyes as he turned on his cousin. "Now, was she?" smirked Mrs. Cur tis. "What were you saying, Kathle?" Katherlne lifted her eyes, slumbering with passionate anger. "That you would dislike Cousin Paul's I mean that girl up there taken out for a drive," replied Kath erlne. Mrs. Curtis caught her daughter's ex pression and looked at Dr. John, then at Philip. "Well, I should say I wouldn't like It," she ejaculated. "There's a limit to all things. What In the world would the neighbors say to such an outrage?" Copyright by the H. K. Fly Company Dr. Pendleliaven's face gathered a dark look. "If she'll go with Philip, Sarah," he said, "I wouldn't give a hang what the neighbors said. Come along up, Phil, and ask her." "Cousin John I" cried Mrs. Curtis. "And, oh, Cousin jotin," gasped Katherlne. But the doctor was too angry to pay any heed to them. "You really want to take the child, my lad?" he asked, smiling at -MacCauley. "Yes, do let me," blurted the boy. Let's go up now." They had no more than closed the door when Katherlne burst Into tears, and Mrs. Curtis plumped down into a chair In a spell of hysterics. "The little trollop," she cried. "Oh, I'd like" "I'd like to kill her," burst forth Katherlne. "Mother. If you don't do She Stooped and Kissed Paul Pendle haven Impulsively. something for me, I'll die. Oh, to . think of It; he takes her out when he could take mel Oh, God I Ob, dear God, help me!" Her daughter's terrible outburst brought Mrs. Curtis directly out of herself. "Don't, Kathle," she said In a whis per. "I really had no IdeiPyou cared for him so much. I will help you, poor dear. John shall listen to me this night; he certainly shall." Meanwhile Tonnlbel looked up with inquiring eyes as Dr. Pendlehaven walked In. He had closed Philip on the outside of the door. The girl gave him a slight smile. The doctor came forward and took hold of her hand. "Paul," he asked, looking at his brother, "could you spare our little girl for an hour? I want her to go out" Tonnlbel, remembering her promise to Philip, rose to her feet. "I don't want to," she trembled. "I'd rather ' stay here. I'd really rather stay here." Pendlehaven went to the door and opened It, and Philip walked In. "Here's a young man, Miss Tony Devon," he said, laughing at the sight of the girl's puzzled face, "who tells me be wants you to drive with him. Now, what do you say?" "Say yes, darling Tony," Philip ejac ulated with sparkling eyes. "Oh, that's how the land lies, Is It?" said Dr. John under his breath. Then aloud, "I didn't know this thing bad gotten to the 'darling' point, Philip." Tonnlbel's face grew poppy red, and she stood with her eyes cast down and her fingers Interlocked nervously. Oh 1 how she wanted to go; now her boy had come for her. "You will go, Tony?" begged Philip, his face very red from John's speech. "If if" the girl stammered. John Pendlehaven laughed. "She can go, can't she, Paul?" he asked. "Phil will take good care of her." Paul Pendlehaven smiled and sighed. "Of course, she can go I She ought to I" he said. "She stays In too close. I've told her that every day. Go along, little maid, but come back to your old uncle In a little while." Philip seized her hand to lead her away, but Tony turned to the bed. Then she stooped and kissed Paul Pen dlehaven Impulsively. "I love you," she whispered, "and mebbe It'll only be half an hour before Pm back to you." For many minutes after the car started Philip paid strict attention to his driving, and Tonnlbel allowed her self the luxury of taking a sidelong look at him now and then. Once within sight of Bebe Lake, Captain MacCauley slowed down and stopped. A little drop of something for Or. Paul. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Unclassified. "Yes," said the snobbish young lady, "I realize that it takes all kinds of people to make a world, and I can say I am very glad I am not one of them." American Legion Weekly. 3 (
