On authority Of a high British Off

organized. co-ordinated plan.
This official said Premier Lloyd
George and the other notables on the

military and navy chiefs, and that on
fIeir return to London the most Wig
orOus anti-submarine campaign may

The conference" he said. solely
concerns the naval and military situ-

The latter is one which must be free

French are concerned equally with
the British in the requirement that
the U-boats must be destroyed.
"The Germans are beaten on the

The conference has brought to-
