War Chiefs Will
Discuss Plan at
Paris COncIaUe
lBy Review Leased wire.l

The representatives of the chief ma
tions at war with the Teutonic allies
are assembling in Paris for the inter
allied conference at which are to be
discussed momentous questions for
more unified action in the prosecution
of the war.
The American, British and italian
missions already have reached the
French capital. They are led respec-
lively by Colonel E. NJ. House, David
Lloyd-George, the British premier, and
Victorio Orlando, the Italian prime
minister.
In addition to determining a basis
for stronger joint action against the
enemy countries, the conferees doubt
less also will discuss at length the an
omalous situation in Russia where the
Bolsheviki factions are In control and
where German staff officers are repors-
ed to be acting as military advisers to
the Lenine government. Possibly a
most pertinent point in the discussion
will be the future attitude of the allied
countries -Russia-whether
the situation as it now stands does
not place the Bolsheviki government
ana Its rolloWers IN the category OF al
lies of the central powers.
Russia Growing. Serious.
Inside Russia the unsettled condi-
ton of affairs seems to be growing
more serious. All Communication has
been severed between north and south
Russia, allied foreign embassies in
PetrogEad being unable to get in touch
with Odessa and other points to the
south. Unofficial advices are to the
effect that the Russian northern army
is in dire straits for food, having had
no bread for several days
Around the village of Bourbon and
Bourbon wood and about Fontaine No
ire Dame in the region of Cambria, the
British troops are keeping hard after
the Germans. In both sectors General
Byng's forces again have made con-
siderable progress. especially az Fon-

that serious differences have arisen
between the British army medical SER

To prove or disprove this statement

The utmost cordiality has and does
