NO AGREEMENT IN, ALLIED
 TEMPTATIONS CONFERENCE

London. Aug 11.-(By The A. P.)- The conference of premiers which has been in session in London for 2 discus sion of German ereparatfons, still was, in state of suspended animation tonight. The spoke5men for Dayid> Lloyd George. the British prime minister, and Raymond Poincare, the French premier, declined to commit themselves on the situation further than to say they could not faith fully, declare that an agreement was yyt assured. NJ. Poincare, however, will re- main in London until next Monday. .
 The meeting of the 9premiersy in soffi- cial session today did not take place, and no time has yet been. fixed for, a meeting. The whole of the day of seven hous was taken up with discussions which began over, the breakfast table between MT. Lloyd George, M. Poincare and M. TheG TVS, the Belgian premier This evening Signor Schanzer, the Italian foreign minister, called at Downing street to see Mir. Lloyd George. -
 These informal discussions covered a wide range of subjects concerned with Germany's financial situation. Variou, notifications were suggested to the British proposals, and these in. the opinion of Mir. Lyold George, required to be further referred to the experts ana eluClC2llOu.
 It is understood these modification! center on the conditions for a posslsu | moratorium and do not imply any de viation in principle from the tenor O the British proposals. The experts' com 1 rnittee began at g o'clock this evening t, examine the notifications, and if the, conclude their work tonight, they vii l present their report to the three premier tomorrow morning.
 The question of an international loa1 came up during the discussion today be tween NIT. Lloyd George and M Poincar in connection with an agreement to talk | over GermaN customs &nd retain 9 per cent. of the proceeds on German ex ports. The idea is that the proceed from the foregoing shall be paid to tn committee on guarantees, which will ar ply the funds to the general purpose
 of German administrative expenses an I such payments as Germany must mak
 to the allies under a partial moratorium
 while a portion will be retained by tn
 committee for the service of an inter
 national loan, should such loan be al
 ranged. The con1initte of internationi
 bankers may be reconvened on the que. tion of a loan, or the allied government
 may arrange for a loan by other, mean l. It is estimated that the yield from u
 import tax would place about. 1 5 0e, ,oOo 900 gold marks at athe disposition, of u guarantees committee, a large proportiC of which would be in foreign monies
 When the discussion reached this poi-
 NJ Poincare asked for further eiucidatfo
 which MT. Lloyd George confessed l , was unable to give. He said he col sidered the matter subject for consi eration by. the experts committee.
