There are signs -hat Prime Minis- ter Lloyd George, at least, f trying Jow it, Instead of a world confer- ence on economic affairs at Genoa, imeluding a variety of subjects, the United States believes Europe should first solve its political problems and reduce its armies. Here is the programme, which throws new light on the reasons why the Genoa Conference was post- poned, and explains the latest de- velopment in’ Europe, where Prime Minister Lloyd George is reported a8 proposing a ten years’ truce whereby land armies shall be re- duced and a guarantee fiven of the; political stability of Europe. First, the United States Govern- ment wishes to he-p Europe but cannot entangle herself in Eu- rope’s political affairs. Upon pol- itical stability dep2ads economic aid from America. Second, the United States Gov- ernment believes the programme of the Genoa Conference was too wide-sweeping and attempted too much.

LONDON, Feb. 25.—Plans for a ten years’ truce in Europe to include all nations, it is reliably reported hera, will be submitted by Premier Lloyd George to the conference at Genoa, ‘This is in line with the announcement in the Paris Te:nps that the British Premier has in contemplation “a great plan” for the limitation of land armaments. ‘As outlined, an agreement will be sought under which ull Kuropean na- tions will undertake to respect one another's boundaries for the term specified so that they may devote their entire energies to the work of re- habilitation. A reduction in the size of armies would necessarily be in- cluded and this would, of course, in- volve the saving of huge sums to tax- payers.

The thugs had a motor car waiting almost directly acrosa the street from the doorway of the building and into| thig they hurried and drove off, es- caping pursuit, Mr. Smith was taken to Norwegian Hospital. Before going to the hospital he wrote a check for $1,500, which was cashed to pay off his employees. Hfe and Peter McNaney, Chief En- sineer of the company, had gone to the Mechanics’ Bank at Third Avo- nue and 61st Street, for the money and afterward alighted from a Third Avenuo trolled car for the short walk to the Bush Building, As they were about to enter the doorway the three thugs confronted them and ordered, both into the hallway, ‘Two of the men backed Smith toward the ele- vator, which chanced to be aloft, and the third covered McNanoy. When the demand was made for the money, which Smith had in an envelope under his arm, he refused to give it up, whereupon one of the thugs, without another word, shot him tn the abdomen, . Then the money was grabbed and all threo fled from the building, : | Hervey De Lorme, bobkkeeper for \the company, heard the shot and ‘}ooked out of the window. He saw ja crowd gathering across the street and determined to go downstairs to | investigate. When he reached the hall door he found Smith about to enter, Appar- ently he had walked up the stairs. In reply to De Lorine’s inquiry as to what had happened, Smith replied “A slight accident, that's all."

Broman knew enough of the young man’s habits to be sure the money to buy such a pin had not been earned by him recently, and telephoned to Headquarters for hetp in trailing him. As a result of his action there were arrested and arraigned to-day ten young men of Santano's sort, includ~ ing four who, according to the polige, confessed murdering Paul J, Gilman in his drug store, No, 162 Court Street, Thursday night: ‘The: others are charged with numerous highway reb- beries and store hold-ups in Manhat- tan and Brooklyn, tn which, according to the police, they have implicated each other in thar statements, Brosnan, having transferred his watch of Santano to* Detectives Kenna, Brickley, Cassidy and Carney, hurried to Headquarters and looked through the Ist of descriptions of Jewelry recently reported stolen. Within 2 minute or two he found an accurate description of Santano’s new pin as having been taken by a band of robbers from Dr. de la Haydes, im visaldo's drug store, at No. 895 rahum Avenue, Wednesday evening by four youths who invaded the store with drawn revolvers, Dr. de lm Haydes was invited to be at Brooklyn Headquarters last night.
