efforts to defeat the accomplishments of
any agreemeut-has been received with
some surprise in official circles. Previous
dispatches had caused the impression thai
the British commissioners would aid in

conference. The instructions given the
American representatives. were brief and
general and their action was left to re

shall have been disposed of. The general
attitude Of the Conference, however, leaves
