Paris May 2S.-1A-rhe prospects seemed brighter today for ultimate sucesn of the conference of experts sA reparations at not 50 distant . Aata.
 0snuins if slow progress was be- in9 made by the technical staffs of the conference working on the com- pltcated task of determining when aAA how the Dawes plan can make way for : new system. The German contenttcn has been that this would bs as of April I, 1s2s; the Allies have held to m indefinite date in the future.
 Aresnkemseats Difficult
 In fixing the date when the Dawes plan shall be Imperative. however the experts have had to arrange thinss 70 that substitution of the plan of Owen D. Young for that of tho Dawes committee might not prejudice the date of cessation of costs of occupation of the Rhine- land. With these costs, and having the aame status. were costs of various committees, commissions and other organisms instituted by treaties and the Dawes plan for which Germany is liable. inasmuch aa the date for the date for their cessation can be fixed only by the governments after eventual adoption and ratification of the Young plan.
 Another point which remained to be cleared up was how to assure by the 1T average annuities under the Young plan of 2.0b0, ,000,0 900 marks (about tts3. DOG. 0.00o) payment of the debts to America and leave . balance which can be mobilixed.
 To hasten solutions of various outstanding problems the experts have divided work. While some have devoted Ill of their energies to york; ins over the figures with which the experts have had to contend others have been discussing the German conditions to their acceptance with a view to putting them in different and more acceptable form.
 Baak Use Discussed
 There has also been the question of the last .2 annuities to cover the American debts. It was understood application of profits from the pro- poesd international bank to do this was being considered but it was pointed out in some quarters that it would be only logical that Germany # shs vas to obtain an enlarged shars of these profits. ought to mako m increased contribution to tho capital of the bank.
 All of these dimculties, separating the Ailies and the Germans, have not been easy to surmount, and have re- : quirsd much time and ingenuity. However the dimculty in remunerat- int Belgium for depreciation of the Belgian mark seemed to have been laia aaade with the Belgian and 04fman eevernments about to nego- tiata dfrsgll1 on the subject.
 With the passing of the heat wave h France today much of the gloom which has hung over the conference iiks clouds has also passed and . s,tsht bFssze of optimism has struck l..
 Dr.. schacht remained at his coun- try retreat today though he was not out of touch with the work of his fellow experts. Tho chief German delegate was in constant touch by telephone with German headquarters where negotiations for . final com promise continued.
 Rescrve stiM Felt
 There was less intransigeance in the attitude of members of the Ger man delegation today, and though all tho experts observed the great est reserve as to the final outcome sf the new effort an agreement was thought possible if the Germans would accept the inauguration of the x Yeung plan In September instead of ;, April.
 In that case the thorniest ques- teas treated in the German condi tioas and the creditors reservations weuid be referred to the govern- ments for settlement
