BERLIN TO RECEIVE
FRENCH NOTE TODAY
Security Question Discussed as Re-
tween Foreign Minister BRAND
and British Official.
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. August 24.-The French
note TO the latest German re ejoinder
on the security question. 1t was said
thls morning, will be delivered TO the
Berlin government at 5 O'Clock this
afternoon and will be made public Fri
day morning.
The note, delivery of which has been
several times delayed. Is virtually the
same as elaborated at the meeting be-
tween Foreign Minister BRAND and
the British foreign secretary, Austen
Chamberlin.
French official circles say there are
no grounds for reports published in
Germany of important changes made
at the eleventh hour" Publication of
the note on Friday is regarded here
as giving Germany ample time either
to ask that the matter be referred
TO the League of Nations council,
opening at Geneva next month. or, as
expected, TO request a special inter
national conference on the matter.
1t Is understood the French govern
ment is prepared to agree to either
of these requests.
