Paris July 20.-The delay in the

Premier Poincare's reply will be
considered with equal care and it may
therefore take several days to prepare

London, July 20.--Additional all
| terations were made today In the
text of the draft reply to Germanys
reparation memorandum by the Brit
ish cabinet, which met in the prem
ier's room in the house of commons
Unless 1t should seem expedient to
make some 18th hour changes the
document probably will be dispatched
to the allied and American govern
ments tonight.
1t is understood that the reply con-
tains about 1.40o words.
Probable Provisions
1t seems safe to accept tee predic-
ton that the note will deal with the
appointment of an international com-
mite to appraise Germanys assets
and that it will suggest to Germany
that Gerat Britain is prepared to ask
France to reduce the occupationary
forces to a minimum SO that Ger-
many's industrial and mining plants
in that region shall be free to cons
tribute to the payment of reparatdons.
In return for this Germany will be ex-
pected to countermand all ordinances
for passive resistance.
1t is also considered certain that
Great Britain will not offer to cancel
the French, Italian and Belgian debts,
as suggested by some reports. This
proposition never has been discussed
with the allies, and even If 1t had
been It is considered entirely irrele-
want to the reply to Germany's rep
aration note.
The documents have broadly for
their purpose the ultimate submission
of the whole reparation problem to
an international conference of pleni-
potentiaries. according to the best in
formation,
1t Is still uncertain whether the
United States will be invited to such
a conference In view of its known re-
luctance to reenter European politics.
