Ile said the government was anxious to retain the services of Sir General Wil- liam Robertson as chief of staff s0 long as it was compatible upon the policy decided upon in com-} mon with Great Britain’s allies: The premier said the policy of the government was based upon the assumption that the, allies had suffered in the past through lack of concerted and coordinated ef- forts. It had-been decided to set up_a-central authority to coordi- nate the strategy of the allies. The general principles laid down at the recent session in Versailles of the supreme war council were agreed to by all, the premier told| the house. It was also agreed that there should be an inter-allied au- thority with executive powers. The only difference which arose was as to its constitution. The| first proposal at Versailles, hej continued, was that the central! authority should consist of a coun- | cil of chiefs of staff but this was abandoned inasmuch as it was re- garded as univorkable. Quotes American View The American representatives at the Versailles war council de- elared ‘‘with irresistable power and logic’’ for the plan for expan- sion of the supreme council’s power, the premier said. .The premier announeed that General Sir Henry Seymour Raw- | linson had been appointed to rep- resent Great Britain on the su-) preme war council at Versaille WILSON TOOK THE LEAD Washington, D. C., Feb. 20.—Frank admission by Premier Lloyd George! today that the convincing demand for unified military effort under a single directing body had come from the United States, confirmed the impres: sion that has prevailed here since the proposal to send the mission headed by Colonel House to Europe first be- came known. It was known unoffi- cfally:at that time that President Wil son. had become convinced that the allied cause stood in grave dango: unless-a central body could be erected with authority to initiate vigorous warfare based on a well digested plan of strategy that covered all fronts, The president was determined that the: United States should not waste its strength in the war, but should, with the co-belligerents, wage an af- fensive battle of the most vigorous His military and navy ad- visers had strongly urged upon him the advisability of seeking to unite all the forces opposed to Germany in- to a single unit of military power, striking every blow for its relations to a grand scheme of campaign and| wasting no strength in minor engage ments or disrelated offensives on the several fronts. THE ITALIAN DISASTER The Italian disaster has been cited of complete cooperation among the allies might bring about. When the AustroGerman drive into Italy began, the Italian armies were threatening ‘the very heart of the whole German military fabric. The mighty German defenses on the western front were threatened from the rear for Austria was crumbling under the punishment administered by the forces of General Cadorna. There are officers here who ‘believe that the war would have been G virtually over now had Cadorna’s great effort been made with the full Believed Much Wast2 in Men and| SOCIALISTS IN RISMARCK EVE! wae Harmony Is Middle Name of Hays, New Republican Cheif W.H.HAYS” ‘Will H. Hays is a worker, an organ- izer and a harmonizer. Harmony is his “middle name” all right, even if the “H” does stand for something else he got at the christening. The new Republican National Com- mittee chairman is a country lawyer, 40 years old. He started as a rank and file Republican worker in Indiana and in 1900 was made a precinct com- mittee chairman. Then he was graduated to county and finally state leadership. When he became head of the state organization the party was widely split on Progressivism and the Demo- crats were in complete control. Under Hays’ leadership harmony was restored and the party gained strength until in 1916 his generalship had turned the state to the Republi- can column. Hughes carried it, and two Republican senators replaced the two Democrats. RRR eee ported that he had found a flour-bag containing ground glass and had seen in the mill a box full of it. The man- agers of the mill said they believed some person had placed the glass there to get them into trouble. Officials released the mill property from their custody last night. Returns From East.

ACCORD WITH OUR WAR AIMS French Foreign Minister of Muni- tions Sends Message to Wilson ialist party of France a! tical with those of President Wilson,” { said Albert Thomas, foreign minister | of munitions, to the Associated Press yesterday just before leaving for the ulied socialist conference to be been one of my dreams,” that a delega- tion of rench socialists should visit hington, if the presi- dent would receive us, to explain to him that his purposes in the war are our purpose: “The American army is entering in- to action in France and its part will be a growing one. Nevertheless. America has a greater role than that of its army. The spirit of the entente allied peoples must be continually sup- ported and refreshed by the daily con- sciousness of the justice of our aims. The minds of the people must be filled with ideals. “President Wilson's part can be much greater than the military action of the American army. By his inter- national diplomatic action in support of his ideals—that is, the supreme part which America has, President Wilson can become not only the leader of American democracy, but the leader of a world democracy, and I can as sure you this influence already is very considerable with the peoples of Ger- many and Austria.” CARD OF THANKS We, the husband and children of the late Mrs. Mary Flaherty Tully, desire, in this way, to express our apprecia- tion for the kindness of our friends and neighbors in our late bereave- ment, and for the many floral contri- butions on the occasion of the funeral.
