Allied War Council to De-
eide Between English and
French Ideas on the Con-
duct of Campaigns.
France Wants One Supreme
Generalissimo, w lille
Great Britain Favors Gen
eral War Council in Role
Of Advisory Committee.
By LOWELL MELLETT.

Paris, Nov. 27.-The allied confer
ence will be called upon to decide
whether the nations fighting for de-
mocracy shall establish a single mill
tary dictator, or create a military oil
garchy to fight the German military
aristocracy. Americas vote may be
the deciding factor.
Representatives of democracy here
today for the inter- allied conference
are Of a single mind as to edification
Of the allies efforts But their ideas
are divergent.
CONFLICTING IDEAS.
The French favor the creation Of
ono supr7i;e generalissimo as against
the British idea for a supreme war
council In the role Of an advisory COM
mittee.
The British, inherently Individuals
tic, foresee possibilities of trouble at
home II the British armies cease to be
controlled by the home government
They are not disposed to concede COM
plete transference of authority, partic-
ularly since the prevailing Idea Is ap-
parently that the generalissimo be q
Frenchman. Not that there Is any dis
trust Of a French seneralship-on the
contrary, there was some disposition
today to regard 1t as inevitable IL such
a supreme war chief were created that
the man named would DO French
commander.
The British, however, recognize
there is necessity that they preserve
their own remarkable unity and keep
the British peoples confidence in the
army at its present high mark.
ITALIAN VIEW UNKNOWN.
The Italian viewpoint on the, two
plans was not available today.
As for the Americans who will par
ticipate and whose votes may actually
decide the matter. they are keeping
close counsel, listening, doing some
hard thinking and hard working.
The spirit dominating all the allies
representatives assures that no i'm
passe Is possible and that there will
be a smooth working out of the scheme
before the present conference gives
way to the supreme war council-this
latter body to have the duty of oper-
ating whatever system is devised.
COMPROMISE LIKELY.
Viewed from the outside today, the
situation seemed to warrant the pre-
diction that the conferees would reach
a compromise solution-the same sort
Of q compromise that sometimes takes
place in American business organiza-
tons. Possibly this would mean the
naming of an executive officer for the
supreme war council. Such on Off
cial would greatly facilitate co-ordina-
ton. making the council a mobile. de-
cisive organization and yet he would
be considerably less than a supreme
commander.
Sessions Of the conferences will
probably be held at the foreign office.

There was dramatic stiffness in the
crowded room as Weeks fired his
questions at the frail girl who sat with
hands folded meekly in her lap, slowly
blinking her great brown eyes, pausing
for painfully tense period before
giving Weeks a reply in her life's Sc
verest ordeal. The cross examination
lasted all morning and was resumed
this afternoon.
The little Chilean's declaration that
she could remember nothing Of the
actual killing was strongly attacked.
Details OF her five-hour story Of De

deeply probed. In an effort to prove
that the mans loves with other women
