CREATING ATMOSPHERE
 FOR PREPARATIONS PLAN
This Is French opinion Regarding Exchange of Notes With
 Great Britain

Paris. March 3. The letters ex-
 changed by the British and French
 premiers are, in the general opinion
 of political and diplomatic circles. in tended 10 create an atmosphere for
 the reception of the report of the
 reparation experts and the eventual l holding of an interallied conference. ! IL is remarked that the correspond- ,
 enco merely brings out once more, al ! though in rather softer terms, the wide divergencies between tho two countries but minimizes the suhsi- diary questions which during the last two years have been the cause of haggling. This is regarded as n dis tinct gain, since it is regarded as fruitlcss for the allies to come to- gether again in conference simply to emphasize their disagrecments over such questions as the occupation of the Ruhr and the separatist move- ment in tho Rhineland.
 Tt is taken for granted now in We'll informed circles that the experts will make unanimous report and that it will be so drawn that France will be likely to accept it. This it is pointed out. will pave the way for an intcrallied conference if Great Britain also finds the report acceptable.
 In view of such an event 1t is com sidercd in reparation quarters as well as in French official circles that the prcmiers have shown wisdom in mak- ing known through their correspond ence that questions like that of the Ruhr will not be allowed to interfere with the success of the conference. and that the discussion will be raised above the level of an argument over methods and details and brought up to the plane of final effort to reach an agreement
 If the report of the experts is com pleted this week. as anticipated, the rcparation commission will be able to 1 cal with it early next week. and if a i of tho allies be the outgrowth l they can arrange for such a meeting l 10 be held perhaps toward the end of | Inc present month or early in April. l

MERCIER'S STATEMENT
Belgium's Heroic Cardinal Accused Germany of What He Considers "IIcr Evil Determination"

Brussels, March 3.--Cardinal Mcr- cier, Belgium's heroic war cardinal, has issued q pastoral in which there are frequent alusions 10. the after war disappointmonts, including tho general poverishment of Europe and the gathering of great fortunes by the protiteers.
 He also scores Germany for her "cvil determination" not to pay tho allies, for organizing fictitious bank ruptcy, making any generous move on the part of the rictors out of the question, and for provoking economic porturbations, responsibility for which she falsely placed upon the allied governments.
 Meanwhile. until Germany pays" the cardinal says, two must work out our own solution"
 He urges all classes to reduce ex- penses fight speculation and remain confident, as during the war. Hope, he concludes, is a theological virtue just as binding as faith or charity.

Nebraska and the Dakotas. . Half of the stock in Sinclair Pipe Line . company is owned by the Consolidat- ed company and half by the Standard Oil Go. of Indiana he said.
 The Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing O., also jointly owned by the consol- dated and the Indiana Standard Oil, has contract to purchase all of the government royalty oil in the Salt Creek field of Wyoming, but that con tract, he asserted, is not connected in anyway with the Mammoth Oil com pany contract.

Expressed

The promotion Of Henry Getty
Chiffon, counselor Of the British

ton on special mission" and Incl
dentally as host to the Prince Of

embassy under an ambassador. In.
deed. at one time, IL memory serves,
there were no less than three min.
listers plenipotentiary, as well as
an ambassador, at. the British EN-.
bassy in Washington. This was
during the war period, however,

men who were familiar with the
delicate situation in Washington py
newcomers. F

bassy, cn several months leave OF
absence, is, according to well
