When tho \FUg Four\ resumed tl sessions y the question of reparations was cxpectod to bo th prlnclpul subject of discussion. An effort was to bo mado to dispose o this problem, which Is understood to have been chiefly Instrumental In de- laying tho pcuco work during tho last week. Premier Lloyd George Is to offer a substitute for tho French plan pre- sented last week which proposed that France's sharo of Indemnities bo $16,000,000,000.

Ileconcillatlon of the French view- point with that of tho othor Allies was admitted to present difficulties, hut Franco Is expected to glvo way, Sho Is also likely to modify her claim to tho Saar Valley. As ono Paris newspaper recently expressed a, annexation ot the Saar valluy would be likely to create a now \Alsace-Lorraine \ which would lator bo u fruitful can so for war. A com- promise may bo attempted, by which France would obtain largo quantities of coal from tho Sunr basin without actually converting that region Into Flench territory. LONDON, March 31.
