sists that they are sufficient in their
present numbers to cope with any

NJ the same time Belgium could be

Jugo- Slavia also will be asked TO

Replying 20 a query as to Just what
would be the role of Colonel George
Harvey. the United States ambassador
to Great Britain mt the supreme coun-
ell meeting, the French Embassy
here says: Mr. iIarvey's role Will be
purely that of listener, but if he
should he asked questions he will
reply. lie may volunteer some state
ntentS."
According to influential Erenchmen
in London. Premier BRAND will ask
the English representatives If they
do not believe it satisfactory and ad-
Hisablc to associate the allied gov
ernmcnts with the Hoover relief for
Russia. ii becomes evident that the
entente believes Americas humani-
tartan efforts on Russia's behalf
might create in Russia an atmos-
phcrc of gratitude toward America
which would place the entente ma
tons in contrasting!y dim ligh,
which. il is feared might be preju-
d:cia to the financial interests of the
entente nations. When Russia again
becomes stabilized there is a dcst ire,
therefore. to participate in the lIoov-
campaign for the moral benefit that
might be derived.
Lloyd George will go To the SUI

L. -. OFFICIALS DECLARE
LAST OBSTACLE RENO

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.--Circat Brit
aims acquiesence in the suggestion
that the conference on limitation of
the cessation of her efforts TO have a
preliminary conference, were regarded
by American officials today rs the
removal OF almost the last obstacle
in the way to an agreement on the
general plan.
For more than week there has
been in progress an Interchange o.
ideas, both on the question OF time
and the agcnGa. carried on by the
representatives here OF the foreign
governments by discussing the qucs-
tons among themselves and with the.
Secretary Of State and by the diplo-
matte representatives OF the United
States and other powers In the re-
spcctivc capitals. The official infor-
ration concerning the British deci {.
sion is understood to have reached
the state Department through its
own diplomatic channels and to have
been a result Of the conversations ho.
tween the British Foreign once and
foreign diplomats accredited to the
British government.
The somewhat complex means of
exchanging opinions and suggestions
probably will continue to be used. Il
was indicated. in defining so far rs
possible the scope of the conference
and the nature OF the agenda. 1t is
not believed likely that Japan will
insist upon any preliminary confer
encc. and II has been made clear that
the American government will inter-
pose no objection To preliminary dis
cussionS OF the agenda So long rs
those discussions are confined to
what has been described as an inter-
change Of opinions ana ideas.

RIO DE JANELRO. Aug. 1.-THE
Brazilian press places little credcnce
in the report from New York that
Brazil is negotiating with England
for the purchase of two tattlcships,

mission, now in France. liruidating
the affairs connected with former
German ships leased by Brazil To the
French government.
1t is pointed out that this rumor
has been circulated many times be-
