SIDE TRACKING THE GENOA CONFERENCE.
FRANCE'S LATEST MOVES.
NEW POLICY TOWARDS RUSSIA COMING!
LONDON, February 13,
Though it is announced in London that no decision has yet been taken regarding the proposed postponement of the Genes conference, the heartiness with which the
French semi-official press to day welcomes the British proposal of a preliminary meeting of experts inspires the fear in London that the French Government will suggest so many technical questions for discussion that the meeting of expert may last for mouths.

PARIS, February 12:
RAND MINES DISP ITE.
The British Cabinet has not yet answered M. Poin cave's memorandum. The Foreign Office is now pre- daizing a preparatory moeting of British, French and Italian expers who would examine technical questions and present their report to the Cenoa conferoner. French circles favour previous technical deliberation taking place, preferably in Paris, but they would want all the Allies and the little Entente present. The French Forogo Office is studying the agenda of the Ganos con- PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT'S SINCERITY.

The Provisional Government had expressed a desire to incet the heads of the two governments, but hitherts it had proved impossible to arrange such a mee ing which was very desirable in order that posed might be restored on hte Ulster border as until the Southern Gov erament was equipped with proper constitutional powers and properly in the saddle it could not be ex passed to have the necessary control over its agents and forces.
