BERLIN SENSATION. •Received This Day ai 8.30 n.m.) BERLIN, April 18.

The conclusion of the ltusso-German L Treaty at Berlin has created a sensa- } "' tion. The mark soared upwards, but it tumbled down later, as the Bourse opinion is that the moment for the conclusion of the treaty was ,11-chosen. Though it is recognised that such an agreement is necessary, it nevertheless is considered as tactless to show such haste. The German Press correspondents at Genoa insist that the isolation in which the German and Russian delegates found themselves drove them to do Something. Genoa telegrams suggest that Dr Rathena.il was ill-pleased with the A - lied retort. He informed the Press that the Allied attitude would cancel all the German offers made to the Allies to forget the hatreds of the war, and would destroy mutual confidence. Dr Rathenau added that it was unfair that the Allies should decide that Germany should not participate in any further discussions regarding Russia.
