ALLIES AND GERMANY-AGREE;
London, August 16.
It is believed the Conference is on the point of conclusion. The Gormans, after vainly endeavouring to persuade Mr. Herriot to agree to the evacuation of the Ruhr in April, apparently decided to accept, under protest, the French evacuation pion and sign an agreement to carry out the Dawes report, though last night they were still endea. vouring to obtain minor concossions including the immediate evacua- tion of Duesseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort and rendering the occupa- Lion of the Ruhr more invisible by the reduction in the numbers of troops and withdrawal from the chief towns. The Germans' endea. vour to obtain a preliminary guarantee with regard to the forty million loan has apparently falled. It is understood they are nisa Bollciting an assurance that military control wil be transferred to the it is expected "League of Nations after the Allies' final Inspection.

The
The compromise is regarded as tantamount to a completo German acceptance of the French denmands. There is some disappointment In German official circles, but it is hoped to satisfy German_public_ opinion by pointing out they have yielded to force majeure. Germans only hope of an earlier evacuation is that when the time comes to raise a loan under the Dawes scheme, the bankers will insist on the French leaving the Ruhr.
Later.
In the negotiations between the French, Belgians, and Germans to-day, it was agreed the town and district of Dortmund will be evacuated the day after the signaure of the protocol at the end of August; also other stricts occapled during the Ruhr occupation; But the Ruhr itself will be evacuated in a year. The final meeting of the Conference will be held this evening. The Germans will prab- ably proceed to Berlin to-morrow. The Reichstag will meet August 21st.
