 And Germany Shall Carry Out The Versailles Treaty.
WILL NOT GIVE EX-ENEMY TIME TO REPAIR ANEW
Ambassadors Are Scheduled
 To Meet Monday, But It Is
 Believed They Will Only Confirm The Disagreement

PARIS Nov. 17.-FinAI informal attempts today to reconcile the criti- cal differences that threaten disso1u- tion of the Anglo French entente are believed to have failed.
 The hour of concessions has passed. Germany shall carry out the Versailles treaty. willingly or not, Premier Poincare declared tonight In & speech before the republican committee of commerce, industry and agriculture.
 At the same time that Poincars made his determined statement which seemed to end negotiations. it was announced that England and France and completed their diplo- mattc interchanges on the three points at issue-the return of the former crown prince to Germany, the proposed allied military control Of Germany, which France demands, and the question of the ex-Kaiser's possible return to the fatherIand.
 The result of these negotiations was declared to bo continuance or the deadlock which has endangered the relations of the two nationA the past few days.
 The meeting of the council of am bassadors, which was to have been held today. but was cancelled sud denly on the initiative of the British. was fixed tonight for Monday. It is understood, however, that the am bassRdors will do little more than to confirm Agreements to disagree which already have been reached by their respective governments. Poincare v4trioic.
 Poincare, in his speech tonight, a. clinging to her policy
 Letting Germany have time and means to prepare for new aggression would be crime against postertty that we will not commit" he said, in insisting upon rigid observance Of the peace treaty Latest develop- rnents in the situation" he continued Twill not Induce France to weaken her policy or make her regret her oc- cupation of the Ruhr.
 we must feel happy because we are guarding today the main mining district and the arm manufactures or the ex-enemy, who is prey to na- tlonalist passions and Ideas of re- venge. Thus, we are able to defend the peace and save our victory. We will not permit anything to iniure either the former or the latter"

 Believed Disagreement Continues.
 ' ernments have called cabinet meet ings for Monday. to follow the ses- sion of the ambassadors. and to lex anime the situation created by the ambassadors decisions" Az tha meetings evidently have been called in anticipation Of definite conclu sions which the ambassadors will reach, 1t Is believed that the allied disagreement continues.
 However. there Is still evident some effort to avoid an undisguised rupture, which 1t is realized would precipitate open hostility between two European camps that formerly were allies. Thus. the mi-official Temps suggests that as last resort the allies agree on a winter truce" with regard to the reparations i'm passe.
 This is interpreted as a proposal that England and France mark time so far as possible. and, while follow ing their own different paths. avoid decisions that would drag Europe into antagonisms threatening war. The suggestion has aroused consider able interest, as 1t is the first in- spired advance France has made to England.
