Itrltisli ainbnndor to Frnnce. delivered to Premier Millerand nt 1 o'clock this afternoon the British if ply to the French premier's note cnt lust evening. M. Millernnd refused 1 discuss the contents of the note witli the newspnpnr respondents. Inunedintely after receipt of the note 31. Jlillernnd left to call upon Presi dent Deschanel. The opinion wns expressed freely that the Rhlnelnnd incident wns in a fair way of being settled nnd that the note just delivered would prove to be the next to the last in the rapid-fire exchange of the Inst few days. Premier Milleraud's reply, which probably will go forward this evening, will be the idxth note transmitted by the govern ments iu three days' time. Nothing has as yet be n deeid"d as to Premier Milleraud's attendance nt the Supreme Council meeting nt Snn Uemo. and it was declared today in a reliable source that if the conference there was to dlfecuss the misunderstanding between France and Ureut Itritaiu he would not go at nil. A personal talk on the subject with trcmler Llojd fleorge would be wcl lnfl' A'r lhe French premier if Mr. Lloyd George could find It convenient J C0JP? .t0 .l'nrlf hut It is considered In official circles that as the point nt Issue interest France nud Great Brit ain only, it is needless to discuss it before the representatives of the pow er. U Is held here that the British Gov ernment In persisting in the discussion has put tho matter In a form where It in difficult to see what satisfaction it is possible to give. France ha not been asked to evacuate Frankfort, and the impression is gaining ground, It was Indicated, that what was sought above all Is to discipline Frnnce. British Envoy at Conference The Earl of Derby attended the coun cil of ambassadors here today. The Hunearlnn treatv was the sole matter under discussion. lhe conference discussed the text of n letter to accompany the reply of the allied powers to the Hungarian delega tion's observations on the treaty. The documents will be delivered to the Iluugarlaus this neck, It was an nounced. Premier Millerand's reply last eve ning to a British note is declared to mnke no material change In the situa tion. It expresses regret thnt there has been occasion fop any controversy, but It points out that If France acted alone In her occupation niove east of the Ithine it was because she was left alone in the face of a situation which reaulred prompt action. The note assures Great Tlritnin thnf France is determined to remain faithful to ttie iililance, but it intimntes that the government cannot uromUe tn nh. stain from defending the interests con- nnou to it wiien its action is not con trary to the objects of that alliance. Japan Supports France It is learned that Baron Matsul. the Japanese ambassador, has unotHcinll stated that Japan has no objection to the' action of France. The softened tone of the correspond ence with Great Britain is noted with dome satisfaction. Decision to lift the tax of 10.000 marks levied against Frankfort for ag Sression against French cycle chaus- ' seura is announced by General De Mete, commander of the I'reueh forces iu the city, according to a Maycnce dispatch. This is a result of steps taken by the burgomaster of tho city nnd on account of the good behavior of the people dur ing the last few days, it is said. Reports, that France has planned to occupy Mannheim and Heidelberg, south of Mayencc, printed iu the Cologne Gazette, arc denied here. ALLIES WILL AGREE, SAYS UONAR LAW Indon, April 12. (By A. P.)
