the past week. Gen. Sir William Robert
son. one Of the nations greatest soldiers
stepped down. AS representative of
certain school of military leaders of
Great Britain he showed himself out of
sympathy with the decisions and actions
of the Versailles conference Here ques-
tons of unifcation of allied strategy and
the plans pertaining to co-ordinated mil

that his chief military adviser was not
IN sympathy with a policy which means
so much to Great Britain, as well as all
of the allies. he offered him the subor-
dinated position he held or sthe one as
Great Britain's representative on the
interallied council Gen. Robertson de-
clined to take either. and his resigna-

defend his course in parliament where
he declared the whole issue was not one
of personality. but policy. The premier
won the day, and again the storm clouds

One of the significant features of the
Lloyd George speech was the announce

President Wilson were the dominating
ones at Versailles. The American rep
resentatives at Versailles presented
their arguments for concerted co-ordi-
mated endeavor in such convincing
fashion that the only argument arising
was over the means of carrying out
the American proposals, and in this an
agreement eventually was reached.
This indicates how more and
more the allied nations are depending
on the United States. Not only does
this country bring into the struggle
the necessary sinews to carry it to sue
cessful conclusion, but the fresh and
unbiased viewpoint of the Americans
is doing much to shape the whole allied
military scheme of things. II the Ger
