One of the unexpected results of the filing of the reports is to end all talk of an approaching entente con- ference. It is declared at the foreign office that official circles are ignorant of any intention by Premier MacDon- ald of Great Britain to come to France and are unaware of any ten- tative suggestion o arrange a meet- ing of the British premier with M. Poincare. “The reparation commission has the floor,” is the stereotyped reply as to what' the allied governments are | lkely to do concerning the experts’ plan, The impression given out at the Qual d'Orsay Is that there will be no contact between the entente gov- ernments or their premiers before the French elections. to her continued pleas of Meanwhile it is thought probable | that the reparation commission will endeavor to draw out the attitude of the German government and that it wi l refer the report to the allied gov ernments only after it has acquired a clear idea as to whether the Berlin government is ready to accept the ex- perts’ suggestion.

PRESS OPPOSITION SMALL. German Papers Incline O.X. on Report. By the Associated Press BERLIN, April 10.—The bulk of the editorial comment published in the Berlin_newspapers today inclines to the opinion that the report of Brig. Gen. Dawes' expert reparation com. mittee constitutes a basis for nego- tiations. Only in the isolated instances of the nationalistic organs is opposi- tion to the recommendations vofeed, and even there the familiar ery of unacceptable’ which has greeted past plans is wholly lacking. Vorwaerts says its rejection would be a catastrophic piece of stupidity on which the “French imperialists” re unquestionably speculating. ‘The question which now confronts any German government,” the social- ist organ continues, “is: Can it march into the Ruhr and drive out the French? It not, then there is only one path to freedom left us, and that is indicated in the experts’ report. “The question is merely whether the liberation of the occupied territory shall be accomplished by guns or pay- ments. To reject the experts’ report is impossible, and what one cannot reject one must accept.” Sees Burden Heavy. organ of the center rty, takes the view that the pro- posed burdens’upon Germany are ex- traordinarily heavy doubts whether they would be bearable, It thinks, however, that the report forms a basis for international dis- cussion, which, if conducted in the proper spirit, has prospects of sue- cess. All the newspape find the experts taking the view that the restoration of Germany's eco- nd financial sovereignty the occupied t itory is essential if the proposals are to be carried out. —_— His Trouble.

S. Magazine. By the Associated Press. PARIS, April 10.—Wearing a natts blue togue and a handsorie fur coat. Queen Marie of Rumania, Europe's youngest royal grandmother, arrived with King Ferdinand at the royal station in the Bols de Boulogne today for a three-day visit of state. The queen was the object of an en- thusiastic ovation as she rode down the Champs Elysees beside Mme. Mil- lerand, wife of the French president. The Parisians, having no king of their own, are alw: enthusiastic over visiting royalty, but today’'s tribute was a personal one, inspired in no small measure by the beauty of the queen. Reception Brilll A bevy of Rumanian girls present- ed the sovereigns with bouquets at the station, their peasant costumes giving a near oriental touch amid the brilliance of full .dress military and diplomatic uniforms. The king, dress- ed as a Rumanlan fleld marshal, had an ultra Balkan air, but Marie looked a Parisienne to her finger tips. As the gala cortege wended its way through the Avenue du Bois de Bou- logne @ surprise was offered when Premler Poincare, as well as the royal visitors, was given an ovation. Rid- ing in the Duca, the Rumanian foreign minister, he was the object of cheers along the route, indicating that despite the recent coolness toward him in the chamber of deputies he is still popu- lar_with the people. Gen, Gouraud, military governor of Paris, turned out practically the en- | tire garrison, all arms of the service ‘| being presented and double lining the | entire route from the station to the foreign office. There was even an array of the new model tanks in the | Place de la Concorde. Cnters Magazine Contest.
