PoinGare Submits Answer

o o O
 WASHINGTON, Nov. B. Premier Poincare has sent reply to the ob- jections raised by Secretary Hughes to restriction of the proposed expert examination into Germanys capacity to pay reparations.
 The Poincare effort to reach 8 com mon ground of understanding with Hughes arrived at the French em- bassy as the first order of business for Ambassador Jusserand, who has just returned to his post after a visit in France. And, it is generally real ized that the fate of the American program to bring about a settlement of the reparations question now rests very largely on the shoulders Of Jussera nd-oen his abilitysto effect ans accord iii the French and American viewpoints with Hughes.
 Hope and anxiety were mixed as Washington speculated as to the na- ture of the French reply, which took long time to be recorded at the em- bassy.
 N High officials of the American goverQment seemed to be hopeful but there was no indication that they had any definite and official advices developed by the French attitude would be overcome.
 Speculation On Note.
 some enCOuTaS eLnSnL was s wen the state department by the reports from London that the British government now finds the attitude of France to- wards the proposed conference more satisfactory. It was thought that the nature of the note from Poin- care to Hughes might be the same as that of the note to England. The belief in informed quarters here was that tho French notes would fall un- der one of the following categorles:
 1. That it will be an explanation of the attitude of the French govern ment which will allow the proposed preparations conference to proceed in an unrestricted manner. 2. That Poincare will insist upon prohibiting the conference of experts from dealing with the total German reparations figure which probably would break up the plans for this final attempt to settle the separations controversy"
 8. That Poincare will answer Hughes in an equivocal manner. ne- cessitating further negotiations that may or may not result successfully. May Be New Element.
 A. That the French reply will in- feet some new element into the situa- ton, such as the expression of a de- sire that the proposed conference dis cuss the question of allied debts to the United States In return for an un- restricted program for the barley, which would put different com plexion on the whole question.
