BY Associated Press.

London, Oct. 3o.-Europe is to
make another effort to unravel the
everlasting reparation tangle. The
British government today decided to
accept the French premier's reserva-
tions and the British charge daffaires
at Washington was instructed by
cable tonight to inform Secretary
Hughes of the decision of the powers
to enter a conference of experts such
as Mr.. Hughes suggested in his re-

plea for American participation.
II all goes well this commission of

is hoped that in spite of Frances
severe restrictions it may lead to a
larger plenary conference on the
whole European situation, at Wash

powerful neutral nations like the
United States may make their voices
heard.
Sir John Bradbury. British repara.
tion delegate, informed the British
government today that while some Of
the conditions would sharply limit
the scope OF the conference, he felt
that Great Britain could not take the
responsibility of uttering a peremp-

There is strong desire among
British government officials that the
experts committee shall have an
American chairman. whose neutral

measure of impartiallty and justice in

would welcome as the American

It is understood that Gen. j. c.

some of the other more progressive
delegates to the imperial conference
were opposed to acceptance OF the
French restrictions. favoring a larger
full-dress conference even without
