LONDON, Monday.
Despite reiteration of the Paris state
ment that the Allies intend to open trade
relations with the Bolsheviki and agree
ment among London commentators that
Premier David Lloyd George deserves
what is variously construed as credit or
blame for the latest Russian decision,
news from Malta this afternoon that the
British Mediterranean fleet had been sud
denly ordered eastward served to stir up
excitement among interventionists here
They professed to believe that perhaps
the economic panacea Of the Supreme
Council had either been too glowingly her
aided or else that 1t had struck snag

miral Sir John NJ. de Robeck left Malta

the Somme. the Scraps and the Hibiscus,
and with the Emperor of India TO follow
as soon as called, for a cruise Of severa
months, It was due solely to the mena cling
South Russian situation and the Bolshev-
list threat against Near East and Middle
Eastern interests.
Allies May Send Ships.
Several British cruisers. including the
, Benbow and the Marlborough already are
at Constantinople and il was stated that
there would be allied representation in the
fleet, which will proceed eastward
The sudden recall of Admiral Viscount
Jellicoe of Scapa also was mentioned in
connection with the Eastern reports.
While commentators here remark that
the Grand Fleets forthcoming Medter-
ranean practice cruise does not leave
British interests in that part of the world
unprotected. IL was stated this afternoon
that last weeks alarming statements
from the Foreign and the War offices
bore no connection with the immediate
movements of Winston. S. Churchill, Sec
retary of State for War. and OF Walter II.
Long First Lord OF the Admiralty. and
that this movement was merely coinci-
dence. However some observers regard
this explanation as lame
On the other hand, watever is the truth
OF recent remarkable happenings, the
British public is still bit puzzled with
comment crystallizing into two fairly
equal groups over the wisdom of the step.

Architects have called ii the most
original structure of its kind in the
world, in that it combines many of
the inspirations of the old world with
all the modern devices of present-day

stone, in Tudor style and never has
any building offered such discourage
ment to burglars. A strong, though
artistic iron railing surrounds the
house. all the many windows have iron
bars and entrance can only be obtain
ed through a massive gateway of
bronze.
Above it all is little gilt galleon, in
full sail, an exact model of the caravel
in which Columbus crossed the seas, a
happy reminder. as someone has point
ed out "of the American-made wealth
which made the splendid building pos
lsible."
When one enters the offices he is
confronted by a magnificent carved
staircase which occupies the greater
portion of the center of the house.
Oak beams, mahogany panelling, mar
bic floors abound throughout and many
of the fittings have been declared
priceless by experts,
The house holds many rare treasures
Among the most important are the folio
Shakespeare. the first edition of Spen-
Ger, 10th century book OF colored
