Premier Directed Important
Moves in Paris That Will
Aid Him Politically.

StdT Correspondent Of The SUN.
PARIS, Sept. 16-As a result of the
conferences held here since the arrival
of Premier Lloyd George last week sew
eral important decisions have been
taken. The British Prime Minister left
Paris to-day, and with him other MEM
bers of the British mission, their places
being taken by a single plenipotentiary.
The Peace Conference will not dissolve
In ten days, but may take a vacation
of a week
Apparently 1t was the British Pre-
miers own political situation which
brought him here. This was emphasized
in some of yesterdays developments
when he injected his peculiarly volatile
personality into the situation with some-
what curious results, not the least in
teresting of which has to do with the
Russian situation. Summed up, the de-
velopments of the last few days, cul-
minating in two sessions of the Supreme
Council yesterday, appear to be as fol-
lows:
First, some discussion of theT Russian
problem, which seems to have been the
basis for the inspired statement given
last night to the British newspapers to
the effect that the conference had in
dorsed officially the British evacuation
policy In Russia and recorded itself
against all further Russian adventures,
implying that even support of Admiral
Kolchak might be withdrawn.
This statement was branded immedi-
ately In American circles as being with
out any further foundation than that
there had been some discussion in re-
gard to the German troops in Esthonla
and Lithuania, but that the conference
had taken no action Of the kind that the
British imply.
Germans Held Responsible.
Second. a decision to send through
Marshal Foch a new ultimatum to the
German Government, holding II RESPONSE
BILE for the evacuation of the Baltic
States by the troops of Field Marshal
Won der Goltz, for whose conduct Ger
many recently disclaimed all response
bility.
Third, temporary settlement of the
Syrian question through a new disposi-
tion of troops, the Americans consent
ing with the distinct stipulation that
no military occupation OF the affected
areas at present was to have any bear
Ing on the final settlement at the forth
coming conference over Turkey
British troops will be supplanted in
Syria by French troops, although the
French are to take UP separately with
the Arabs the question of occupying
Damascus and other places within the
boundaries of the proposed new Arabian
state, Premier Lloyd George apparently
having acceded thus to the French con-
tention.
Fourth, in regard to Armenia the
withdrawal of the British troops will
continue but a French expedition is to
| advance from Alexandretta, ostensbly
| to offset the effects of the British with
drawai. but In reality chiefly to bring
| about a French occupation.
That 1t has-been the aim of Premier
Lloyd George to shape things here with
view of meeting the latest moves Of
mis- political opponents has been empha.

ingenious Idea Appreciated by the
Sailors Of the British Grand Fleet
Stationed At scapa Flow.

One Of the secrets Of the war was
revealed recently when a party vent
down to the Victoria docks, London, to
inspect the Wilson liner Borodino. This
ship was chartered in the early days
of the war by the Junior Army and
Navy Stores for the purpose OF sup
plying the sailors Of the grand fleet
with comforts and luxuries that they
would otherwise have had to do with
out. One Of the sea lords at the be-
ginning Of the war, when the grand
feet was keeping its vigil in Scapa
flow, recognized that the officers and
men needed something to relieve the
dullness of existence while waiting
for the German fleet to come out.
The suggestion was adopted, and the
Borodino turned into a most effective
shop. Almost anything could be
bought on board, while there was a
fine laundry with a weekly collection
and delivery, and a BARRIERS shop. Five
thousand dollars a week was taken by
the sale Of goods, including penny bars
of chocolate, greatly favored by young
midshipmen. The latest in fancy
soaps, shaving creams, new books, the
finest chocolates, and an abundance of
fresh meat. fish and vegetables helped
to make life more bearable in the cold
and dismal surroundings Of Scapa.
