AMERICAN DELEGATES FOR GENEVA.
Washington, April 16.
Mr. Theodore Burton, a member of the House of Representatives has gone to Geneva as the head of the. American delegation to the Conference on International Control of Traffic in Arms, Other delegates sail on Saturday. The Government is hopeful that a definite practical results will come from the conference. It is anxious to co-operate to the fullest extent in obtaining practical measures for the curtailment of arms shipments. Mr. Burton and his colleagues have exhaustively studied the draft convention for a temporary mixed Commission of the. League of Nations which will form the basis of discussion at Geneva and are of, the opinion that it contains many features acceptable to America but in other respects will require considerable modification. The American delegates are satisfied it will be impossible to stop-entirely International traffic in arms. They believe that the plan of a League Committee for the licensing of shipments is the only method of curbing the traffic satis- factorily. Reuter's American Service,

Demonzie Minister of Justice and General Nollet Minister, of War.
M. Caillaux. M. Malvy and M. Demonzie onferred, with M. Painleve until 2.30 this morning. M. Caillaux.. subsequently ques- tioned, went no further than saying the financial problem which has been under discussion is too serious to be to settled in an hour. He is to meet the Governor of the Banque de France"this" morning to obtain certain information, particularly in regard to the state of the Treasury: It is concluded from the duration of the midnight con- ference that a rather serious difference of opinion arose and fresh conversations are to be held this morning. The Matin gives eur- rency to a report that M. Poincare has created a great impression by declaring in the Senate lobby that the selection of M. Caillaux will be a challenge to the Senate,--Router.
