Locarno, Oct. 14.?Chances that the Locarno conference will suc ceed aro now good, alinough it i* still doubtful that the negotiations can terminate thin wo? k. The question of Germany's en trance into the League of Nation* Bee in h practically settled. The Al lies will give the Germans a letter promising to use their good offi ces within the League to the end that the League shall make no de mands upon Germany under Ar ticle 16 of the covenant without taking full account of Germany's military and economic situation. This Is merely a special reitera tion for Germany of what in al ready clearly enunciated iu the covenant and In the Geneva pro tocol. The Germans say they must hjtvc a written document on the subject In order to quiet the G? r man nationalists. The German delegation even now denies that this question lias been entirely solved, but admits great progress has been made. The fact of course, is that, as Germany will be a member .of th?? council and the council's vote must be un animous. no demand whatsoever can be made upon Germany with opt Germany's consent. The Ger mans are beginning to understand this. - Regarding the BO-called F.asteru question, serious negotiations are only Just beginning with the Inter view between the German and Po lish foreign ministers this morn ing. Tile Germane still refuse to allow the French a specific right to cross the demilitarized Rhine land ?one to help Poland In case of German aggression against Po land. | The Czechs are proposing a com promise; namely, that alliances shall exist, but shall operate only after the League of Nations had doslgnsted the aggressor. Th?' Poles, who at first refused this compromise, now seem Inclined to accept it provided the Germans agree to arbitrate not only juri dical, but also political disputes under the proposed German-Pol ish arbitration treaty. The next 24 hours should clarify this sit uation. There remains also the question of the status and duration of th? Rhlneland occupation after tin Germans sign the pact and ? nfer the league. The French say the purpose of the pact Is not to pro vide a substitute for the Ver sailles Treaty whose provisions, therefore, remain intact, but the Germans argue that a new situa tion would ?>?? created, rendering the Rhineland occupation useless and mischievous. The spirit of the conferenc?- is still remarkably genial and there is no crisis in sight. STEAMEK UNDERGOES COMPLETE OVERHAUL Annie L.
