PERFUNCTORY SESSION.

Paris, April This afternoons
session Of the council of ambassadors
was even more of perfunctory, purely
formal affair than the previous meet
ings none of the allied diplomatic rep
resentat,ves having received definIe
instructions from their respective gov
ernments as to the attitude to be OBJ
served toward the latest events in the
Rhineland.
Premier Milltrand arrived promptly
at five o'clock and read Frances reply
to Germany's note Of protest. He en-
phastzed the French viewpoint that
France acted in the common interest
of the allies, not solely in her own.
United States Ambassador Wallace
was present at the session. he re-
manned silent throughout as did the
senvoys of the other natiuns. q 1t is
becoming more and more evident that
the prolonged silence of the allied
governn1ents, as we'll as of the United
states. has exercised a salutary and
restraining influence upon the French
government, whose official utterances
are marked by greater moderation
than were the outgivings of the last
three days

patched to Berlin tonight reflects a

tion Of Frances independent action

Washington, April THE

This was made certain by the
action of the rules committee
today in reporting out a special
rule providing that debate ON the

day. The time is to be equally
divided between those favoring
and those opposing the measure.
The rule prohibits the offer

means there will be two roll
calls. one on the motion TO
recommit and the other on final
passage. The average time
