London, Nov. 16.—Indications are multiplying that F land and:France | are approaching the parting of the | ways on the question of how to deal | with Germany. France's threatened penalties against Germany if Berlin does not recede from its position on the ex- tradition of the former crown prince and the reestablishment of full allied military control in Germany are de- clared in government quarters -here to be wholly unacceptable to England.

They declare this is one of the many signs that a crisis is ap- proaching. Many of these members of parlia- ment favor separate action by Great| ritain in dealing with Germany, but the whole situation in Germany Is so infinitely complex and confused that they, like most of the cabinet mem- pers, are tnable to find concrete | ormula which would enable Biritain to solve the problem indepen dently.

With ¥ exz yrbes th t or stand cross minatio fleld of subjects ing from hospital contracts to alleged drinking parties and pleasure trips, The former director continued to de ny generally and specifically the ac< cusations of misconduct that have been made against him.
