began TO appear as to whether the de-
sired results could be accomplished
within u fortnight, as Premier Lloyd

dicted.

at eleven O'Clock this morning at the
White House." where the president is

cies. 1t developed, however tina t
Premier Lloyd George has been af-
fected in a similar manner as the pres
ident which has confined him also
TO his bed. A morning session of the
council was therefore impossible
1t was then determined TO have the
council meet at Mr.. Lloyd Georges
residence, so as to be near him, and
here the session began at $50 o'clock
this afternoon, with Premier Glenn

present. Preparations was again the
