PLACATORY NOTE

Parls, April 11-(By the Associated
Press)-The Earl of Derby, British
ambassador to France this morning
handed to Premier Millerand, Great
Britain's reply to the last French
note concerning Frances invasion of
the Rhineland.
The note is animated with the
spirit Of Cancellation according to
semi-oficial communication and al
lows the hope that within a brief
time the difficulties which have ARISEN
, In the past few days will be smoothed
over and that a representative of
Great Britain will return to the am
bassadors' conference.
The note will not be made public
by the French government but it is
learned that it attaches especial i'm
portance to the Interpretation of the
last sentence of the French note made
public Saturday, the British govern
ment assuming that France is re-
serving liberty of action in all cir
| cumstances without the approval of
or consultations with her allies and
also that it considers Great Britain
was not duly informed by France be-
fore the occupation of the Rhine
towns.
The text of the last sentence Of the
French note on which Great Britain
requests an Interpretation was as
follows:
"The preceding consideration be-
ing stated, the French government
| does not hesitate to declare that in
all inter-allied questions arising
from the execution OF the treaty it
foresees no case in which it should
| not be glad to make sure of the
assent of it's allies"
Concerning the second point raised
in the British note officials say that
diplomatic documents will easily elu-
cidate the matter.

SITUATION STILL GRAVE

London, April 1I-(By the ASSO-
ciated Press)-Dispatches from Paris
today are more optimistic regarding
hopes for an amicabie settlement of
the Anglo French difficulty over the
occupation by French troops of Ger
man towns. But, according to a
statement from an authoritative
ouarter tonight, the crisis still bears
grave aspects-firstly, because there
seems to be no intention on the part
Of the British government to recede
from its firm demeanor against any
independent action where the alli-
ance is concerned, and secondly, be-
cause no sign is apparent yet that
France is willing to withdraw her
troops, but rather there is DISPOSE
ton TO extend her occupation.
Great Britain's reply to France. 1t
is asserted reaffirms the determine
ton to enforce the Versailles treaty
in all respects, but in collaboration
with the other allies. 1t points out
however that the present difficulty is
concerned. not with the execution of
the treaty. but with Germany's re-
quest for permission to employ
troops in the neutral zone.
The governments view, shared by
the allies, was that the request
should be granted, subject to guar
antees for the restoration Of neutral
ity after the expiration of a time
limit, and these guarantees the Brit
ISL government were prepared to en-
force.
The French governments view, on
the other hand was that allied
troops should occupy German towns
as condition of German troops enter
ing the neutral zone. The. allies it is
declared We're opposed to this policy
and the French then decided to act
Independently.
The French note seeks to justify
this invasion while stating that
