COMPLAINT T0 CON: . .ENCE AND POPE ON ACTIVITIES OF FRENCH Declares Versailles Treaty Is Being Arrogantly Disregarded By ‘‘Im- placable Autocracy” Lloyd George Gives State- ment Expressing Optim- ism for Result of Genoa Meeting. Genoa, April 15, (By Associated Press)—The Saar valley deputation today presented to the economic con- ference and to Archhishop Signori of Genoa for transmission to Pope Pius its statement concerning the situation of 750,000 Germans in the Saar val- ley under Irench occupation. According to the statement ‘he treaty of Versailles provided thaf the Saar valley should he administered by the league of nations, that laws should be enforced in the German language and that no military occupation should be allowed. French Are Accused. Instead, the commission says, the Saar is under the regime of “im- placable French autocracy” and is oc- cupied by 8,000 French soldiers while French officials accomplish their work of denationalization in order to pre- pare for the plebiscite 15 years after the signing of the Versailles treaty. Wirth Opposes Wail. Dr. Joseph Wirth, the German chancellor and head of the German delegation at the Genoa conference vesterday stated that he would not support in any way the Saar valley commission's protest adding that he was determined to adhere strictly to the agenda of the conference which excluded political questions, Russian Problem. Financial and economic experts of Great Britain, France, Italy and Bel- gium, today continued discussion of conditions under which rehabilitation of Russia will be undertaken. They were to be joined by the principal delegates of the four inviting powers and soviet Russia in the afternoon. The discussion was started yester- day at an informal meeting of the more important delegates in the villa of Mr. Lloyd George, British premier, the hasis of negotiation being the re- port prepared by the allibd experts in London, copies of which were handed to the Russians earlier in the week. Reply Is Delayed The soviet delegates were to have made their reply to the report today, but this has been postponed indefin- itely and will probably be based on the understanding reached at the present series of conferences. 1t is understood that the soviet delegates have expressed willingnss fo acknowl- dge Russia's pre-war debls and to cancel their claims against the allies if the allies will do likewise with Rus- sia's war debts. One month has been set as the time limit in which the diplomats general- ly expect it will be known whether the conference can achieve iis pur- pose. Mr, Lloyd George expects to leave on April 27 and is making ev- ery effort to have the big decisions arranged before then. Although the conference uninterruptedly through Good Iriday it was announced today there would be no meetings of commissions on Jaster Sunday. Lloyd Georfe Active. The hub of the economic confer- ence these days is by general consent the villa de Albertis, where Premier Lloyd George is living during his stay here, and the local press in recogniz- ing tHis has styled the British pr(‘- mier the “manager of the conference” Mr| Lloyd George is carrying out there the idea of holding private dis- cussions without minutes being taken of the proceedings, without the issu- ance of commmuniques to the press, and without the intervention of any one except those directly concerned in the discussion. His object, he has said himself, is “to prevent the crys- tallization of the Iranco-Russian dif- ferences. The British premier's idea seems to be working out well, in some respects at least, as the conferees are meeting there rather as individuals than as delogates of their respective natio and are thus able to speak more free- ly than they otherwise could. Work Thus Far. Mr. Lloyd George summed up this afternoon what appears to be the gen- eral view of the progress of the Rus- sian negotiations, employing of the similes he so frequently u “We are building a hrujr:c‘ across the stream,” he said. “‘We have driven some of the piles we are now in the deepest part of thg worked current and are driving them into tho | mud at the bottom. .Although the bridge is not yet ahove water the piles are firmly fixed and we are still ham- mering at lhc‘nL“ Dr. Wolfgang Kapp To Surrender April 30 Berlin, April 15.—The lokal An- zeiger today reproduces a letter ad- dressed to the l.eipsic supreme court from Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, leader of the 1920 rebellion, now living in Swe- den announcing his intention to sur- | render for trial unconditionally at the end of April.

Mount Alagheuz rises 13,000 feet from a broad plateau about 30 moles cast of Alexanderopol. The Ameri- cans had made two previous attempts to reach the summit which is regard- €d as even more difficult than the ascent of Mount Blanc. On their third and successful attempt, they mounted nearly to the snow line on American army mules which left 5,000 feet of the most difficult and perilous climbing before them. Passing the night in a little Kur- dist village, below the snow line they started at eight o'clock in the morn- ing and by rapid climbing, reached the summit before dark. After carv. ing their names and addresses on a large rock, they returned to the 8,000 foot level hy midnight.
