DIFFERENCES OF
ALLIES DO NOT
AFFECT RELATIONS
Declared Premier Millerand Who Said
That Divergence of Views Was
Very Natural

Paris, Aug. l6.--Differences between
the allies relative to policies they will

cordial relations, said Premier Miller
and at Lequesnoy, town in the dew
astated region, which the. premier Wis
tied on Sunday,
"Divergencies of views" he declared,
"are very natural, even between allies,
but they do not weaken reciprocal
deep esteem nor the conviction that
the maintenance of their alliance is
for the entente nations a moral duty
and necessity of the hour. However
painful are certain moments when
these Emergencies become marked at
the same moment, it is realized that
the next day the allies will walk hand
In hand toward the same purpose. the
reign of liberty and justice. II was for
this reason that on Vimy Ridge, 5000
Canadians, whose monument we deco

between nations these bonds their alli-
ance comes out stronger than ever
