ing OF the murder. was found in this city

ment Wednesday. the day the murder

PARIS, Nov. l2.-The Temps" de-

inter-Allied war conference, whose ar
rival in Europe it considers of the
highest Importance.
"The mission is made up of men who
possess the required competence and

the newspaper.

The Temps" explains that the OBJ
iect of the conversations started is the
organization of victory. No programme
has been fixed for the conference. Be
sides military and naval problems, all
kinds of financial, commercial and eco
nomic questions will be discussed.
In fact, it is impossible to realize
unity of action so long as there is no
unity of economic methods, and no
unity of diplomatic doctrine. In this
respect the paper says it thinks that
long ago an inter-Allied bureau should
have been established for the task OF
the demands Of the various
