I Paris, Jan. 2.-The view is now held in American official quarters that the attitude of the British leaders shows such coordination the Ameri- can viewpoint as will facilitate mu- tual agreement before the peace con gress. After the close of the recent conferencs and the pub e demonstra- tions attending President Wilson's vis- it to London, one of the foremost British statesmen, summed up the sit uation by saying:

The published list of officials is in- accurate ard omits the names of some men to whom the war cabinet has en- trusted the study and preparation ct some of the most important questions for the consideration of the peace con ference
 Russian affairs are causing the Brit ish foreign office considerable anxie- ty says the Mail. The necessity of formulating a definite allied policy as to Russia is extremely urgent and it has been decided that the Russian question will be the first to be dis cussed at the peace conference it Is said.
 Ut is presumed that all the allied nations are overwhelmingly against armed intervention by an expedition ary force," says the newspaper. "The British government has also decided that an expedition is impossible, pre- ferring to encourage the creation of q stable government in Russia, although the origin of such government is at present quite obscure.
