BUTLER SEEMS SLATED
 TO BE FIRED IN PHILA.
As Result of Dawes Plan Working Out, Stan Is Being Cut Down
 Materially.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Sept. 24.-Application of the Dawes reparation plan is so diminishing the activities of the reparation commission that the com missions staff is being cut down considerably and the eventuality of important changes in the commis- sion itself is being considered in di- plomatic and political circles.
 It is understood here that the British government is in favor of radically reducing the expenses of the commission, even favoring the substitution of regular diplomatic agents for the present members.
 Realization of this project is meet ing with difficulty from French sources where any belittling of the importance of the commission and any diminishing of Its activity before the efficiency of the Dawes plan Is definitely demonstrated are looked upon with disfavor.
 It Is thought possible, however, that the assistant members of the commission may succeed the. prin- cipal delegates for some of the mem- Der countries. These assistant mem- bers would be aided by the legations in Paris of their respective countries.
