He asked the repre sentative to request his house to prepare a carefully selected list c* books for children, limiting the amount to one hundred dollars.

July 10 (By the Associat ed Press).?Withdrawal of the French representatives from The Hague conference today (Monday) owing to the.attitude of the Rus sians is declared probable by this morning's newspapers. Instruc tions sent to France's delegates yesterday by Premier Poincare are said to support this assertion. The Hague, July 9.?The ex perts' conference on Russian prob lems has held on through ia great crisis, but is not yet considered out of danger. All the delegates ?s they sit today in their icy hotels at. scheveningen are unanimous in this view, but their depression, which is very evident, undoubtedly, is influenced by the persistent ab-" sence of sunshine, the equally per sistent biting North sea winds and interminable rain. The danger arises from the at titude of the Russian delegation toward restitution of confiscated property, and prominent European representatives frankly declared today that unless the Soviets made concessions from the intransigent policy announced Friday it would be quite useless to continue the conference. The English delegation remains doggedly optimistic: it believes that a suitable compromise will be found on the vital problem of the ; property of foreigners in Russia. The Italians also are hopeful. The pessimistic groups think that the Russians do not care whether! the conference succeeds or col- j lapses, as they will hope to make advantageous separate agreements with different financial groups, and. thereb obtain immediate credits, for which they constantly clamor,! and which the conference may long postpone, even if a general accord is reached: SUch is a brief summary of the . situation as the conference is about to start another week of active ne gotiations: "Russia's plan for restitution is ijiot restitution at all," said one , gloomy delegate today. "The Bol sheviki have no intention to re ; store property, but painly indicate that they will distribute conces sions, including appropriated prop erty, to the concession hunters who I have the most money. If the-for i mer owner happens to have ample ! funds to develop his factories or mines he has a good chance of get ting them: otherwise not." Both sides appear to realize that" f they have been moving in a hope less circle. In the long run, by tak ! ing up seized property under classi fied headings, it is hoped to recog nize the two divergent viewpoints, for it seems certain that Europe will not supply credits without res j titution, and the Bolsheviki will ', not grant any form of restitution j without getting credits in return. I The Russians complained again today of the refusal of the defe-1 gates of the non-communistic coun ; tries to grant information asked in ! their famous questionnaire of thir- j \ teen points concerning foreign holdings of the Russian debt. The ! most significant question was the I demand for information as to the j social situation of the bond hold-! ers, his profession and annual rev-.j enue, and the general financial sit- j uation of his family. Another] sought to determine how each hold-! er had acquired his bonds, whether by purchase or inheritance. The Bolsheviki further wished enlight enment as to whether the bonds were kept on simple deposit or [ utilized as security for credits or financial operations. After seeking exact information j concerning the amount and charac- j ter of the bonds, the thirteenth! point insisted upon the presenta- J tion of documentary proof that ail questions were being answered truthfully. The European delegates refused compliance, not only because they considered the question irrelevant, if not impertinent, but also be cause to answer them would neces sitate a stupendous international inquiry with months of labor and great expense. Some of the questions created j considerable alarm, as indicating a j desire on the part of the Russian j delegation to apply communistic j .theories in all their dealings in I foreign lands. The issues involved are so staggering that the Euro pean groups are beginning to real ize the difficulties and responsibili- j ties of their task. . j "It is not so sensational as Ge- j noa." said one delegation leader to I The Associated Press today, "but j it is vastly more important to the j world's future The Western world must take its stand here on in- ! alienable rights in respect to j property; we cannot drift into col- j lectiveness. or seem to favor it. Tf ! we cannot reach an accord at The j Hague, we can certainly prepare a ; common report to our governments calculated to advance the settle- ; merit of the Russian situation. Morse and Sons Must Stand Trial | Washington, July 10.?The dis- ! trict of Columbia court of appeals! held today that Charles W. Morse. ! his three sons and eight others must stand trial here on indict- j ments charging conspiracy to de fraud government through war-! time contracts. Thp man who is all wrapped up i in himself isn't going anywhere.
