Government Believed to Be Sounding Out Attitude of European Nations Toward American Intervention Upon the Preparations Question
NO DIRECT PLANS HAVE. YET BEEN DECIDED UPON
Nothing Imminent, Officials
 of State Department Say. Poincare Reported to Have Been Asked His Opinion on Aid From the United States.
By Associated Press

10 WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--A stone wall of official silence still surrounds administration purposes with regard to American aid in the German separations deadlock.
 The one hint from responsible officials today implied that decis- ions as to the governments course still were to be made, and was coupled with a warning that most of the published conjectures had gone wide of the mark.
 Paris dispatches, saying that Premier Poincare had been sounded out informally with view to Wash ington intervention toward un- raveling the separations knot, af- forded glimpse of the method Sec retary Hughes is employing to bring American influence to bear. < Arouses Great Interest
 The Paris dispatch did not draw officials here from their silence. But 1t aroused great interest in so far as siI reflected the official attitude in Paris toward the general principle of American heipfulness in the emer- sency.
 In view Of the situation that brought about the Anglo-Frenc reparations deadlock at London, 1t seems obvious that any American overtures must be predicated on knowledge that they would be vel come both in London and Paris. It is that preliminary stage of negona- tion which is in progress. Diplomatic usage would not sanction an offer of good offices until it was certain it would be accepted
 The report that feelers have peen put out abroad was in line with the official statement reiterated tooay' that there was nothing imminent in the situation.
 No official Statement
 The arrival of Ambassador Harvey for the consultations here and per- haps his return might precede de- yelopment of the governments hopes of aiding toward an adjustment, but there is no official warrant for even such a vague time forecast as that.
 In some circles here speculation still concerned itself today with the possibilities as to American partlci- patton in some way in an interna- tjonal agreement as to Germany's ca pacity to pay. That appeared to be logicals step toward adjustment. Whether it would prove advisable to seek such an agreement through a new conference or by means of commission to report on Germany's present situation, was matter Of divergent opinion.

BELGIAN REPORTED TO
 FAVOR INTERVENTION

BRUSSELS, Dec. 16-The reported plan for American intervention in the reparations problem became known to Belgian governmental circles only through press dispatches from Paris and London but it was generally commented on fayorably as indicating that the United states had really be- come interested in solution of the embroglio. Such a plan, it was de- clared was sure to receive favorable welcome if officially presented to the Belgian government.
 Officials here believe the plan. as outlined. means simply a loan to Germany and postponcment of a defi- nite solution, but they would well come any step which would bring the United States to the point of discuss ing the matter officially instead of being satisfied to send observers" to the allied meetings.

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD ntcomery. Ala. Dec. f6

Citizens of Alabama who travel be- tween points in the state will com tinue to pay 3.6 cents mile for some time. Information from New Orleans Saturday was that the three federal judges who assembled to hear the petition of the railroad for an in junction preventing the public ser vice commission from enforcing It's order for 3-cent fare had post poned the hearing until after the holidays.
 Harwell c. Davis, attorney general, did not have time to prepare the case for the state after the railroads filed their petition for an injunction early in the week. The postpone- ment will retain the temporary re- straining order which was issued by Judge Henry D. Clayton, and which prohibits the public service commits sion fi om attempting to enforce its order until three federal judges have determined the justice of the con tention of the railroad.
