LONDON CONFERENCE.

AGREEMENT ON SIX POINTS. LONDON, August 11. (Received August 12, at 12.5 p.m.) An informal conversation between Mr Lloyd George, M. Poincare, and M. Theunis continued throughout the day. The British delegates submitted ten counterproposals. It is understood that an agreement was reached on six points. It is believed that Mr Lloyd George agrees to the principle of the autonomy of the Reichshank and its administration onlines similar to the Bank of England, while M. Poincare has withdrawn his demand for .a ■Customs cordon. OUTLOOK BRIGHTER. LONDON, August 11 (Received August 12, at 12.5 p.m.) Well-informed circles in London and Paris agree that, though the situation is still grave, feeling is more hopeful. Everyone is most anxious to avoid a rupture with Paris. It is regretted that, through a mistake in tactics on both sides, there has arisen a deadlock, not on fundamentals, but on incidentals. It becomes plainer than ever in Paris that it would have been perfectly easy to solve the main questions if they had been approached boldly.— * Times.’
