FRANCE GIVES IN
TO WORLD PRESSURE
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The moral in
fluence of the United States, Italy
and Belgium, as well as that of
Britain, was credited here today with
bringing France to the point of yield
ing on her proposed military action
against Germany.
The compromise which it was
hoped would be reached when
the ambassadors conference recon
vened in Paris was said here to have
resulted from acceptance of Britain's
proposals for stiff notes to Germany
about imposition of allied military
control and action regarding the
crown prince.
JOINT NOTE NOT TO BE
ULTINIATUM TO BERLIN
LONDON, Nov. 20.-(By the AS
sociated Press.) - The British gov
eminent officials considered this
morning that all danger of disagree
ment with France on the question of
the eX-crOWn prince and the reSump-
ton of inter-allied military control
in Germany had passed. They ex-
pected that the council Of ambassa-
doris would reach d compromise I'M
less an unforeseen obstacle inter-
posed at the last moment.
1t was pointed out that the queS-
ton was now largely one of appro-
pirate phraseology in which to strike
a mean between the two divergent
viewpoints. The forecast here was
along these lines.
The proposed joint note to Ger
many will not be in the form of an
ultimatum nor will it give the Ger
mans d time limit within which they
must comply with the allied condi-
tons. Neither will it demand an i'm
mediate formal reply. 1t will be
mainly in the character Of a firm,
peremptory notice to Berlin that the
allies intend to inaugurate allied in
spection of German ornaments in
certain chosen areas still under the
authority of the central government.
On the question of the kaiser's
heir, the note will hold the German
cabinet responsible for any overt or
subversive acts looking to the res
toration of the HohenZollern dynasty.
British officials consider that their
diplomatistS have won a partial vic
tory over the French, but they show
no disposition to eXult over it.
ANGLO-AMERICAN LOAN
TO GERMANY PLANNED
BERLIN, Nov. 20.-By the Asso-
ciated Press with regards to re-
ports of the impending conclusion
of an AnglO-American loan to Ger
many, the Boersen Courier says to-
day that negotiations are in prog
ress between q well-known Berlin
bank and a group of American, Brit
ish and Dutch financiers for a credit
to Germany of 1,400,000,000 gold
marks.
The granting of this credit, says
the newspaper, is dependent upon
the conditions that there be no
change in the internal political sit
uation in Germany, and that the
offer be made only TO the Strese-
mann government.
