The deliberations are expected to be held in the Grand Trianon part of the Cha- teau of Versailles once occupied by Marie Antoinette.

While no change in policy, either po- litical or military, has been made by the United States, it is realized hers here that the holding of the Ulkrainc by forces friendly to the associated governments and decidedly hcstile to the Bolsheviki opens a path directly into the heart of Russia either for the dispatch of troops or of supplies for the relief of the demoralized civilian ropulation. Recent reports from Londorf have been taken by some observers here to indicate that Great Britain may pro- pose the sendine of additional troops into Russia to place the country cn a stable footing and eliminate the Bol- sheviki. It was said_today, however, that no definite word as to this has been received here. The Bolshevik fighting strength is considered as now practically concen- trated against the allied and Russian troops operating soyth from Archan- zel. The unusyal lateness of the win. ter in that region has aided the Bol- shevists as in the ice-free streams they have been able to utilize armed river boats against the allied and the Tnited States forces. 18 MEMBERS OF CREW OF STEAMER DAMARU MISSING San Francieco, Cal, Nov. 20.— Bighteen members of the crew of the steamer Damaru, which was wrecked by lightning off Guam Oct. 16, remain to be accounted for, according to a re- port from the captain of the vessel, made public today by the shipping firm who were agents for the Damaru before she was taken over by the United States shipping board.
