The delegates tonight characterized
the negotiations as the most success

held since the great war, and many of
them expressed appreciation of the
assistance of the American delegates
and observers.
The conference has been a won

The program we have adopted is tho
one we will take up with the Ger
mans next week"
Mr.. Kellogg paid tribute to the val
liable work done by James A. Logan,
jr., and the other American experts.
He also praised the helpfulness of
owen D. Young, who in his unofficial
position as one of the Dawes com
mitteemen placed his knowledge OF
the scheme before the conference
whenever he was called upon.
Young Praises Result.
In Mr.. Logan's opinion the agret-
ment reached by the allies today
marks their greatest success since
Versailles. Mr.. Young, likewise, ex-
pressed approval of the program as
sound basis for working the Dawes
scheme and in keeping with the spirit
of the expert commissions work.
The mediative role of the Amer
leans continued throughout the con
ference and aided materially in bring
session this morning, when il was
found the French and British views
were widely divergent on technical
points, which the experts during the
day and night sessions for the past
4S hours vainly tried TO settle.
Ambassador Kellogg made a short
speech, giving his opinion as to what
should be done. and quick agreement
followed.
Some Changes Made.
During the last two days all of
Premier Herriot's proposals calling
for application of the principle Of
arbitration to differences arising in
operation of the Dawes plan were
modfhed Iand adopted with the excep-
tion of a difficult technical point in
voiving the powers of the transfer
committee, which is the heart of the
Dawes plan.
The experts sat around the table
most of Thursday night, but could
not reach an agreement They con-
tinued their efforts throughout Fri
day, remaining at Downing street un-
til o'clock this morning. Snatching
a few hours rest, they returned again
at 1880, hoping 10 conclude their
work before the plenary session con-
vened. but being unable to do so, the
problem passed to the chief dele
gates
The British and French were
widely separated on the question of
applying arbitration to the transfer
committees work and when their
views were restated in the plenary
session there seemed no tendency to-
ward reconciliation. 1t was at this
point that Ambassador Kellogg in
eSANChCo, d statement WhlCh
brought an agreement on this par
ticular issue and final success to this
phase of the conference work.
Invitation to Berlin.

of france; NJ. Hymans, the Belgian
foreign minister; Baron Hayashi, ths
Japanese ambassador, and Prof. de
Stefani, the Italian finance minister,
framed the invitation to Germany,
which Mr.. Macdonald, as chairman of
the conference, dispatched.
So elated are the delegates over
today's success that they are not
worrying about developments after
the Germans arrive. 1t Is expecte ed
that DR.. Stresemann, the German for
eign secretary, and his colleagues,
will desire to state Germanys case
very fully and they will be giwHa
ample opportunity to do So. SCI

Germans are coming to London in a
reasonable frame of mind. Official in
