; Unable to Arrange Meet

"
14 (By the Aa-
PAftlS. Jan.
ocUted Press). M, Polncare,
who. bu accepted the premiership
to, succeed M. Brlandand expects
to hatw his. cabinet completed to
morrow, engaged In a lengthy con
venation today 1 with the British
" premier, " What conclusion was
reached; Is not known, but M.
Polncare. in a statement, declared
that " "International questions
henceforth will be settled as here
tofore throsgh ambassadors."
Thiamin the expressed opinion
of the premier designate, would
mean tlrtual disappearance of the
. supreme, council, though he added
"there tnnst be one final meeting
should the French viewpoint pre
vail and I have good reasons to
believe it will so far as Great
Britain is concerned." He thought
there had been tpo many meetings
of the supreme council and he de
aired a return to the oldfashloned
way of dealings.
Polncare Hm Triumph
; The conference turned out to
be quite a success for the new
premier, according to the French
view, as he apparently convinced
Mr. Lloyd Oeorge that It would be
construed hv thm French nntlnn aa

imical to him personally shouldY ' .
Mr. Lloyd Oeorge meet ex-premier
with 'ratification of the policy of
a moratorium for Germany tenta
tively granted by the reparations
commission, but met with strong
opposition from M. Polncare, who
argued that Germany had not paid
to .the limit of her capacity and
that some means must be found
for lightening France's burden.
Meeting is IWermI
The conclusion in Belgian c!r
cles. which have rallied to the
British and Italian views, is that
France stands alone on the repar
ation problems.
Mr. Lloyd George had notified
the Elysee palace that be would
like to call on President Millerand
but tbe latter had an engagement
and suggested an hour which was
the time when the premier was
conferring with M. Poincare. It
was said by the British delegation
that Mr. Lloyd George did not call
at Elysee palace as custom re
quires the invitation. The official
explanation was that the protocol
provides for visits from the heads
of foreign states on invitation.
Disappointment) Manifest
British circles do not conceal
their disappointment, over ' the
failure of Mr. Lloyd George to
meet President Millerand. How
ever, he received Premier Theunys
and Foreign Minister Jaspar of
Belgium and also M. De Lastey
rle, who Is slated for the ministry
of finance in the Poincare cabinet,
concerning the central interna
tional corporation, officially ad
opted by the Cannes conference to
which M. Poincare is said to agree.
The Belgian and German dele
gates were anxious to hear the
result of the Lloyd George-Poin-care
discussions and received con
fidential information, which was
greeted by the Germans with ap
parent satisfaction, while the Bel
gians appeared to be somewhat
concerned.-.

I knew that if I had not caught
her glance and smiled at her she
would never have referred to the
subject. It if never her way to
comment upon another's affairs
or to give unasked advice. And
I realized by a stressed note un
derneath her levity that she was
anxious lest because of my great
ib for Dicky I should again per
mit him the domination of the
first year of our married life, and
repeat the unhappiness wnicn
that policy had brought me.
But I could not discuss my hus
band even with this truest of
friends to' us both unless if were
to avert disaster. So I simply
sagged her understanding,
laughed lightly, and went back to
the serened porch and Dicky.
He had brought me news that
made me decide to shorten my
outing by a couple of days.
"Met old Jick Bickett on the
street yesterday," he said, as he
stretched, lazily out in a couch

head, while his eyes roved over
the panorama,' of sky and woods
and dancing water that spread be
