u. S. ATTITUDE MAY RESULT IN POSTPONEMENT Setback for Genoa Conference in Policy of Opposition. LONDON, Jan. 26. —Admission was made in Downing street circles today that the proposed economic conference at Genoa may be postponed if the United States and France continue their present policy of opposition. It is understood, however, that Great Britain is proceeding with plans to answer the objections of the Lnited States and try to overcome them so that the conference can go ahead as planned with Washington represented. THEORBTICAL RECOGNITION. As to America’s opposition to Soviet Russia having representation at Genoa It was pointed out by British officials that the United States has already given theoretical cemmeercial recognition of the soviet. The officials said if America pave “tactical political recognition” it would be possible to secure reduction of the Russian army and make economic advances in eastern Europe. Francis Channing, the only American born male member of parliament, today made a stinging attack against Premier Lloyd George for consenting to the presence of delegates for soviet Russia at the proposed conference at Genoa. “I wish to express my satisfaction that America has refused to assent to the last mad scheme of the prime minister to bring the Bolshevists Into the comity of nations,” said Channing. “Ilis (Lloyd George's) infatuation for the Russians mnot be allowed to ruin the future of the world." It is believed that the attack was inspired by politics. Channing was formerly a resident of Boston. The only other American born member of Parliament is Countess Astor. ATTACKS UNITED STATES STAND. The Pall Mall Gazette printed a cartoon of Uncle Sam counting his war profits, with the caption over It: “Tell them I am too busy.” The same paper printed an editorial Baying: “It Is a scurvy return for our backing of the Washington conference that the United States now turns its back upon the Genoa conference.” MAY WITHDRAW INVITATIONS WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—The Italian government will shortly take steps to recall the invitations which it issued for the Genoa economic conference, according to Information obtained today In official quarters. The embarrassment that would be caused the Italian government by an American refusal to participate would thus be obviated. The expectation prevails that President Harding will soon announce the Administration’s decision against participating In the Genoa meeting and the reasons therefor. These reasons are understood to be substantially as follows: 1. The United States does not relish the idea of dealing with Soviet Russia around a common table as an equal. To do so. It is contended, would be to give tacit recognition to the Lenin-Trotzkl government. 2. The position taken by the new French government—that German reparations are not to he discussed at Genoa—makes the results of the Genoa meeting of doubtful value. The reparations problem is held to be at the root of tu rope's financial and economical troubles. 3. European nations party to the conference have not yet indicated a sufficient willingness to make their budgets balance and make their incomes equal their expenditures. 4. There exist no definite assurances that the United States would not be made a target for caneellation-of-war-debt sugestions from some of these countries, should an American delegation enter the Genoa conference.

World *Ad’ Clubs Head —Photo by Baehrach, New York. Charles H. Mackintosh, president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, addressed members of the local advertising club today at the Chamber of Commerce. His talk dealt with the training of retail sales people as an element in the Increase of efficiency. FIVE VETERAN OFFICERS PUT ON RETIREMENT Patrolmen Eligible for Pension List Are Examined. The ruthless hand of efficiency, guided by Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank and the trustees of the police pension fund, passed over fifteen veteran members of the police department Wednesday afternoon and cut five of them down. Following expression of the belief that there were more than twenty older members of the police department who were physically unable to perform active duty Mayor Shank had the pension board call the' fifteen men in for interviews, one at a time. All were men of more than twenty years’ service, and therefore eligible for retirement on pension. Several ■ have over twenty-five year’s service to I their credit The police pension law provides pension of S4O a month for men j with service of between twenty and I twent3’-five years and SSO a month for j those with twenty-five, $2 a month being | added for each year over twenty-five t 'until S6O is reached. None of the fifteen | men wanted to be retired, for none felt jhe had passed his prime. A number were passed on promises to retire later ! in the year when they have rounded out ! their quarter century record. | The mayor and trustees were put squarely up against the task of deciding between duty and preference In several cases, as for instance when Patrolman Henry Monninger, 63, said he did not feel like retiring because he was just j married last Tuesday and to be put on I the pension list would “almost break my ’ new wife's heart.” j Others were Interviewed and dls- ! position of them by the trustees was as ; follows: Albert Scribner, Joseph B. Okey, James P. Kerins, Keorge F. Johnston, W. D. Hite, Daniel Haley, William Wheeler. Charles Bernauer and Henry J. Burris, passed; John Long, re- | tired to pension fund at S4O per month; William Mellen, Fred Amsden, Nicholas ' Tloffbauer and J, C. Helm, ordered to take physical examinations. Jesse Streit, Fred Gunsolns and Joshua Speuris, retired by the board of j safety Tuesday, were placed on the penI slon roll. However, Spearis today said | he would refuse to retire and accept a ! pension and he was sent to another i physician for further examination.

SHANTUNG RAIL DEAL IN FINAL STAGE, BELIEF Arms Delegates Hope for Results From Sze’s Visit to President Harding. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—President Harding’s help—sought by Chinese Minister Sze —has narrowed the chasm between the Chinese and Japanese in the Shantung dispute to a mere "Infinitesimal” difference. The word “Infinitesimal” is borrowed from a spokesman of the American delegation, while Dr. Koo of the Chiuese delegation diplomatically declares, following the Harding-Sze conference and a private night council between Japanese Baron Shidehare and Sze, that the “situation remains as heretofore.” The President was described as “sympathetic” In receiving Sze at the latter’s request. Chinese sources admit the question has narrowed down to the final stage, and added that there was a chance that the railway proper would be the subject of the Shantung conversations this afternoon. TRUTH APPEARS TO BE IN SIGHT. Out of the mass of contradictions and concealments, the truth appeared to be that a settlement Is in sight. Some of the Chinese dcdegatlon sought to link significantly the Shidehare visit with that of Sze to the White House. Dr. Koo, however, claimed there was no connection and that Shidehare had sought out Sze on another conference not connected with Shantung. Sources close to the Chinese claimed President Harding urged upon Sze that the Chinese yield on their position toward a Japanese traffic manager and a Japanese accountant on the Shantung line. It was said the Chinese were holding out for giving Japan an assistant traffic manager, or at least wished the full traffic manager to be responsible to the Chinese general manager. In any event there Is now no further question as to the Japanese compell'ng the Chinese to finance the purchase of the line through a loan made in Jajian. FAB EAST TREATY TO CONSUME TIME. Preparation of the nine-power Far East treaty was regarded likely to consume several days. The present plan is to place In the preamble such declarations concerning China as do not involve actual pledges, but Instead merely principles. There have been passed sixteen resolutions regarding China. They du with a variety of subjects— open door, respect of Chinese neutrality, s course of action about Chinese postoffices' revenue. Some of them are agreed to by all nine powers In the conference; others have not included the Chinese. The rules of war conference arising from the arms conference will he called within a few months after this session adjourns. At present it Is proposed that America designate The Hague as the meeting place. The conference so-called partakes more of the nature of a sitting of a commission of experts to determine humane rules for new agencies of warfare. The question of expense, gently raised about the Washington session the last few days is being broached about The Hague meeting with the hint that Holland might like to follow Belgium's example at Spa in 1919 and foot all bills as host. Sanitary Board Authorizes Loan A resolution authorizing the negotiation of a temporary loan for SIOO,OOO, payable Dee. 30, was adopted by the board of sanitary commissioners today. Bids will be received Feb. 10. The interest rate is not to exceed 6 per rent. The board needs the money with which to meet an expected deficit of $98,000 in the maintenance fund of the garbage and ash collection and disposal department. There will be left in the fund o.i Feb. 1 but $13,000. No further money will be received, excepting from the temporary loan, until spring tax money comes In.

SAY STRIKERS WILL END FIGHT Chicago Packer Employes Expected to Return to Work. CHICAGO, Jan. 26—Striking employes of the big five packers will return to work within two days, It was believed here today. On the eve of balloting to determine whether the men are willing to return to their former employment, union officials predicted they would give up the fight in every packing center but St. Paul and Omaha. Ballots sent out by C. H. Hayes, president of the Amalgamated Meat Cutter and Butcher Workmen will be marked this afternoon. “We bare been Informed by Federal commissioners that workers should not hold out any longer in hope of mediation,” said Hayes. “We are taking the vote on advice of governmental agencies under the Department of Labor.” The strike started nearly two months ago when employes walked out following refusal of packers to recognize the union.
