upon affairs at the Hotel crillon. the
American headquarters. The American
Delegation now viii have n reaiehead
ana new direction will be given to Amer
lean policy here.
Secretary POLK, has the apartments
vacated by Col. =. NJ. House; there he
met the star and later had long con-
ference with Henry White and Gen.
Tasirer II. Bliss, the other members Of
the delegation. In the afternoon he at

Polk Has Definite Policy.
An impression prevails here. however.
that in regard to Bulgaria, Hungary and
other matters. Secretary Polk is thor
oughly informed on the Presidents latest
views and has definite policy. Whether
this win be followed by change in the
American position on several questions OF
the FIRST Importance that now are pend

speculation here.
Polk revealed Immediately to his as
sooiates that he had followed closely the
Developments in the Peace Conference in
regard 20 Turkish and Balkan problems,
with which 1t Is dealing now, and con-
sidered them as ranking with any prob

views of the President, and that the sit

diplomats here, lis due largely TO the
impression spreading rapidly among the
Bolshevists, Bulgarians and Turks, that
the concert of the Allies, which wal

President Wilson was here. This wa
pointed out this morning by st. Brice il
the journal; he suggests that many othe
parliaments may hesitate to ratify unit

may do. He continues:
ut Is quite time to recognize that thu

refuse its consent and disavow the act
of President Wilson here but TO destro.

"The engagements taken by the Presi

assembly. This fact should have beel
