for reparations payments meaning
her present ability.
Text Withheld.
The foreign office refused to dis
close the text Of the supplementary
instructions to Ambassador Jusser-
and until he has another confer
ence with Secretary Hughes.
The impression is growing in Of
ficial circles that negotiations
between Washington and Paris are
more favorable.
The Petit Journal printed re-
port that Myron T. Herrick, Ameri.
can ambassador to France, had sent
q cablegram to Washington express
ing his personal views why Ameri-
ca should do everything possible to
hasten the proposed conference of
international reparations experts.
This was denied by sources close to
the United States embassy,
Foreign office officials admitted
that Ambassador Jusserand had re.
quested further instructions, believ-
ing that they would aid him ito
reach a possible agreement with
Washington regarding the scope of
the proposed PREPARATIONS committee"
The radical socialist newspaper,
Quot1dien, printed q double column
story on page one today under the
headline: rs Poincare preparing to
occupy Bavaria?
The article added.
"Rumors which do not seem I'M
probable were circulated in political
circles yesterday relating to prepare
tons for the eventual occupation of
Bavaria by French troops. But we
print this information with all pos
Sible reserve
Foreign officiasl denied that there
was any truth in the assertions OF
