PRANCE PROPOSES COUNTER-DRAFT TO BRITISH NOTE I Contains Modification of Anglo Policy on Reparations —and Ruhr Occupation, By United Press PARIS, July 24.—Recommendations for a counter-proposition to the British note to Germany were to be submitted to the French cabinet today by Premier Poincare. Second In Importance only to this was a report to the ministers by M. Le Trouquer, minister of public works, who returned from Inspection of the Ruhr, to the effect German resistance is weakening and will cqjlapse eventually. Secrecy Maintained Although official proceedings still remained cloaked in secrecy, the inference was Poincare and his aides had found the British draft inacceptable, as the press and unofficial spokesmen have predicted. The counter proposal, which will be sent to London by way of opening inter allied parleys on the subject of reparations, is understood to contain French suggestions for modification of the British note. Those of the government who insist upon a firm Ruhr policy and no concessions' to Britain’s suggestion that French and Belgian troops withdraw, found M. Le Trouquer’s report a powerful argument in their favor. The minister was understood to be convinced heavy pressure is wearing down resistance. Press is Cautious While the morning papers are guarded in their comments, 9. majority intimate France can not do otherwise than disapprove the draft. Pertinax. writing in the Echo De Paris, says: “France can not let it be said occupation of the Ruhr has proved a failure because such an assertion is contrary to the facts. Our English friends too evidently are inclined to say ‘it is useless to continue in the Ruhr. Your policy has condemned you.’ ” ‘SHOOTING WITH INTENT’ CHANGED TO ‘MURDER’ Man Wounded July 17 Dies—Brotlier-in-Law Accused.
