May 7.?If the Russians do u>t give a categorical afl'.rmativ'e aniwer to the memorandum that has ieen submitted to them, France will lot go on with the negotiations and if 10 arrangement is made with the Rusiians the non-aggression pact belomes impossible, M. Barthou, head of he French delegation to the economic conference and vice premier in the French cabinet, said to the American ind English newspaper correspondents today. M. Barthou himself suggested the neeting which proved of historic consequence because the French leader emphasized repeatedly that France lad sided with Belgium on a question >f principle, and not because she tvished to line herself up against [?reat Britain. The vital problem was hat of protection of the property in Russia of foreigners and France beieved that Belgium was nearer the :ruth in treating this important question. France, M. Barthou declared, desired only to maintain always her longtime friendship and union with Fngland. He continued: "Then let me say what is in my mind frankly and openly, and do not forget that my words are carefully hosen, and that I speak as the chief representative of the French government. We have been here a month Some newspapers?and 1 am not referring especially to American or Fnglish?seemed to doubt the sinceriy of France and seemed also to doubt :he sentiments wtih which we came to jenoa. But we have collaborated in ?very possible way. France gave proof her good will and loyalty and continually made concessions so that the :onferenee could go on. "At the outset we had semi-official conversation with the Russians at Mr. Lloyd George's villa, and my attitude was approved by the French government. Then came the sensational disclosure of the Russo-German separate treaty. You know how everybody felt about that. "If France, as alleged by some, possessed secret or sinister intentions, _ was her^p^rttjnit^ to wreck the \ officially with the Russian delegations Y and meeting them officially around the \ tables of the commission on Russian \ affairs we were struck in the back. Had we left the conference then anil I here, had we wrecked it. I believe there are few people in the United States or England who would have blamed us. Yet, despite this blow from behind, we continued loyally with the work. Nothing could have better shown our good intentions." Green Street Revival The revival meeting which hee.i.i at Green street Mcthcdist church yesterday had a very favorable beginning. Large crowds wi re present a. both the morning and evening setvke. Evangelist E. O. Hobbs of Louisville. Ky., and his singer, Mr. G. C. Thumm. arrived Saturday and had charge of the services on yesterday. The evangelist preached two good sermons th it made a favorable impression, and Mr. Thumm convinced tL. people ability to direct a choir and n -o or.Ur.,101 nuuii> At the close <>t' the evening nu-s>ay-possibly 35 to 50 'raised their ! cm requesting th? prayers of the Ch i ians. The evangelist announced tl . he hu 1 not intended to extend an it vitati >n for seekers :it that se v < end h, would not urge and insi ; j their coming, but if any desired to c > so to conic forward and knee! at the altar for the I layers of the Christtans. A number responded and after a season of prayer professed to find the l.ord. This is the first time i the history of Green Street chur. n that there were seekers tit the altar the first Sunday of a revival, and the first tinie in six years that there were additions to the church the first day of a meeting1. The pastor feels that this was a fine opening resulting in seven i recession and three additions to the church, and that it is the beginning of a great spiritual revival in this section of the city. Services are announced for each evening at 7:30 o'clock. No doubt large crowds will attend. Come early to get a good seat and enjoy the set vice of song and praise preceding the sermon. J. B.
