wary that only one specimen had ever

described in American quarters has
been very satisfactory. He spent more
than three hours before LlOyd-George' S
luncheon in a most intimate discussion
with the premier and foreign secre-
tary going over the central aspects
of his peace program. 1t was learned
that progress was made in making
clear some fthe presidents points
which are uppermost in the minds
of the British, principally as regards
the question of British naval suprem-
acy.
The conference was entirely infor-
NAL and with out the presence of sec
retaries or documents.
