events of the day were the meeting
Of the supreme council to consider
the Russian situation and the gala
luncheon to Presidents Wilson at
Luxemburg palace.
z The luncheon, besides bringing
together a brilliant assemblage, also
brought out the declaration from
President Wii-on that the peril Of
France, if it continues. will be the
peril Of the world, and not only
France must organize against the
peril, but the world must organize
against it."
The meeting Of the supreme coua-

of agitation and war.
M. Noulens will be followed to-

warmly applauded, and as he
