England Changes Phrase in
Reparations Proposal to
Meet Poincare's Objections
Reparations Committee May
Deal Direct With Germany.
PARIS, Nov. 7. (By tho Associat
ed Press) The prospects for an
agreement between Franco and Great
Britain on the text of tho in.. ration
to tho United States to 'Join the con
ference of exports for examination of
the reparation question wero regard
ed in dlplomutlc and French official
circles today as brighter than yestor
day. '
Tho Improved situation was said to
be duo to the tendency of tho Britisn
government to accept in attenuated
form Premier Poincare's reservation
restricting the cstimato of Germany's
capacity to pay to tho "present."
M. Poincare. It is stated, has already
declared ho is willing to give a rather
elastio Interpretation to this reserva
tion, permitting It to cover a period
of perhaps two years.
Disci -sion is now proceeding ns to
whether an nccord can be reached on
tho understand, ng that tho word
"present" would mean tho period ol
the moratorium asked for by Ger
many, which every, one admits must
be granted for at least ton years.
Another alternative suggested in
the effort to ronch nn accord is the
elimination of tho phrase, "capacity
for payment." which has proved so
Irritating to the French official mind.
The British, Italian and Belgian dip
lomats havo considered a now formula
which would mean tho sumo thing,
but satisfy French sensibilities. "Pro
ductive resources," or "progressive
payments" aro among tho phrases
used.
PARIS, Nov. 7. (i3y tho Assoclat
ed Press) The reparation commie
eion has decided to comply immedia
tely with tho German request for I
hearing on the reparation question an
proposed in tho Berlin government's
note of October 24, if the several gov.

This decision was reached by Sir
John Pradhury of Great Britain. M.
ISarthou of France, Signor d'Arelio of
Italy and M. Remelmuns of Belgium
at a meeting of tho commission last
night nt which Colonel James A. lo
gan, official observer for the United
States also was present.
The Germans in their note last

"I am not smashed but if you loved
all your family and were going to

thnt you were 111 and tired; that a
dear little man with whiskers tells
you that the world 'is a good placo
and that the hard blind people arc
to be pitied, for they know nothing of

Another, line In the letter was as
"I won't write you of what the cold
and Canada were to mo. Fred meant
to be kind but he had won mo and
I was his and no one else wanted me
and he is much Indian."
And further appears this:
"I waa too proud to break, but
