GERMAN FINANCIAL DELEGATE RESIGNS
Dr. Voegler Dissatisfied With Results-Experts
 Still Conferring

Paris. May 23 Rt-The German and allied reparations experts held two sessions today in an effort to find some sort of an, agreement. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and Dr.. Ludwig Kastl, the latter of whom succeeds Dr. Albert Voegler, went to the experts headquarters this afternoon and had conference with Thomas w. Lamont and the creditor experts.
 The Germans were still resisting the payment demanded for the re- demption of German marks in Bel gium, and still objected to what they called roundabout increase in the annuities through an exten- sion of the Dawes plan payments until the end of the year.
 Dr. Sthacht on leaving the con- ference said: Our talks today have simply been a voyage of exploration around the question
 The exact points on which the conversations bore were not disclos- ed but it was assumed that the dele- gates talked about the newly pro- posed arrangement of annuities. The continuation of payments under the Dawes plan to the end of this year and the creditors rejection of ths German demand for the right to suspend payments on part of the protected annuities inside Germany Dr. Schacht's whole stan was busily engaged studying and analyz- ing the revised report with the hope of making known the German decision tomorrow. if not this eve- ming.
 News of Dr. voegler's resignation was received with varied emotions in conference circles and in some quarters it was feared for a time it might mean the breakup of the con- | ference. On the other hand, it was felt in other circles that the with drawal of Dr. Voegler, who had been stiff opponent of acceptance of the creditors demands. might mean that the Germans would ac. cept the allied counter-proposal as laid down in the creditors recent memorandum and covering letter handed Dr. Schacht.
 Think vOegler Forced ] In French circles it was intimated that Dr. Voegler had yielded to the demands Of the Ruhr industrialists who, the French press declares. are determined to make no concessions to the creditors.
 Confirmation of previous reports that Dr. N0egler had resigned had a qquick effect on the Bourse. where there was noticeable drop ir values. Brokers themselves had diff. ficulty in interpreting the effect oi the resignation. Speculative share: suffered the most, receding in some cases as much as 30 per cent. More settled issues also showed a drop.
 Yielding to pressure from Rhenish and Ruhr valley industralists, Dr Noegler informed the German gov.

Cuers, France, May 23 P1Thc hour for the probable departure of the dirigible Graf Zeppelin for its home base at Friedrichshafen was fixed this morning for between : and p. m. q or p. m., e. 2. t.) today.
 Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Zeppelin, was expected to ar- rive at 5 D. III. from Germany and as soon as he can complete the round of official farewell visits to French naval and military authori- ties at Toulon, he is to go direct to the hangar.
 The start will be made almost immediately. if the weather contin- ues favorable. The latest forecast indicated good weather for period of at least IS hours.
 The Zeppelin will probably so straight to Fricdrichshafen, via the Rhone valley, without attempting to fly over Paris. Dr. Eckener will be obliged to nurse along his new engines and to proceed at half speed. It is not likely he can af- ford the extra time of a visit over Paris.
 Five French technical experts fand two French flying officers will make the trip as official guests of Dr. Eckener. 'One is Lieutenant Hamon. commander of Cuers flying field. who has been responsible for the Zeppelin since her arrival here.
 Former Enemies Abroad
 Lieutenant Hamon. who had a remarkable career in the French air force during the war, will thus find himself the guest of the two most noted German Zeppelin con- manders of war time. Captain i Flemming and Captain Won Schil- Ter.
 French authorities at Cuers field took every precaution today for the prospective departure of the dirigi- ble. Seven hundred soldiers were encamped around the field, while a hundred gendarmes guarded tn. nearby roads.
 ! Five hundred soldiers were to be instructed in the maneuvers neces. sary to get the Zeppelin out of her hangar, prior to the actual start.
 The Marseilles weather burear reported to the authorities thii afternoon slight drop in the barometer and shift in the wint from south to south southeast. bu the sky remained clear and th' sunshine brilliant.
