Officials Explain it Was Written Before England Made Her Proposals British Disappointed, However
Premier Baldwin to Send Draft of German Reply to This Country for Its Information, He Says.
By The Assoc,ated prses

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, July 16.-Premier Poincare's address at Senlis yesterday was mere reiteration of the French Eov- ernments policy and was not in- tended as a reply to the recent repa. ration speech of Premier Baldwin of Great Britain 1t was explained in official circles here today. The en- tire address with the exception of few paragraphs, was written before the British premier spoke. 1t was stated.
 It is considered in official circles, it was added that the situation be- tween Great Britain and France up to the time the promised British note is received, will be exactly the sams as that obtaining since last January.

British Hopes Dashed

By The Associated Press.
 London, July 16.-British hopes of assuming the allied leadership in the negotiations for a separations settle ment with Germany are considered here to have had a serious setback by reason of the speech of Premier Poincare of France at Senlis Sunday.
 Nevertheless, the British officials who returned to Downing street today to resume drafting a reply to the latest German offer were not sure that the situation was as gloomy as the news from Paris seemed to indicate.
 The official British attitude is that the least said about the Poincare ad- dress the better. It is recognized than theatmosphere of war memorial unveiling was not suitable for the an neuneeInent of any change h French policies and the fact that Prenstcr Poincare merely reaffirmed the rigid French views without making them any stronger. offered some little satis- faction and encouragement.
 Will Prepare Note
 The British, it is indicated. will proceed with the work of drafting the note to be submitted to the Allies and the United States as if M. Poincare had not spoken. The completed draft of the document probably will go to the cabinet tomorrow.
 The French premier's pronounce ment has left the British undaunted in their efforts to make proposals ac- ceptable to the Allies. As for the French premier's fears that new committee would be nothing more than coalition of the interests opposed to us" the British reply is that such commission can easily be formed with strict legal re- gard for the treaty of Versailles if the Allies are willing.
