FRANCE MAY CHANCE AMBASSADOR TO U. s.
Senator Berenger of Debt Funding Mission Likely
 Choice

Paris, Oct. 30 Pl-1t Is learned on high authority that Senator Victor Henry Berenger will be appointed soon to succeed Emile Daeschner as French ambassador to the Umsed States.
 The decision of the government to change ambassadors in Washing ton is closely related to the Ameri- can debt funding negotiations.
 Foreign Minister Briand has im- pressed upon Premier Painleve and others of his colleagues In the cabi- net that another effort should be made to settle the debt.
 Senator Bercnger is regarded as the best man available to bring this , about. His financial authority in France, his intimate acquaintance with the subject and the ideas he derived from his recent experiences in Washington as a member of the 1 Caillaux debt mission have per suaded the government that, fl something more is to be done, he is the man to do 1t.
 There is disposition in some quarters to criticize Ambassador l Daeschner for his dispatches tr the foreign office prior to the Departure i of the French mission for the United States, 1t being declared that these advices left M. Caillaux and hi party under misapprehension as {, the real attitude of the American debt funding commission.
 The usual inquiry whether NJ. Der enger Is persona grata to the Ameri can government as ambassador ha
 not yet been made but Is expecte
 to follow in due course.
 Senator Berenger. when seen b
 the newspaper men as he was abou
 to leave town for the weekend, sal
 that he had not the slightest knowl
 edge of his prospective appointmer
 as ambassador.
 Washington, Oct. 30 Pl-News ( an impending change in French afil
 bassadors to Washington was IT ceived here with apparent surpris
 So far as disclosed, NJ. Daescf ner's contacts with the America , government all have been of a agreeable character, and he ht

 There Is no doubt, however, tn; in one respect his mission to u United States has failed. It W. ] generally understood when he SUI
