Observers Believe Lloyd George Realizes This
Instead Of American-Anglo-Jap Alliance,
Must Be Conference Goal.

A cooperative understanding,
subscribed to by all powers inter-

probably will be the counter-pro-

Anglo-Japaness suggestions of
American participation In any Pa

Premier Lloyd George. in his

on the present pact between Eng

significant in its possibilities:
'.If the alliance with Japan could
be merged into a greater under
standing with Japan and the United
States on all the problems OF the
Pacific, that would be a great event
and IL would be a guarantee for the

PRINCES ILLNESS
REPORTED BLUFF

PARIS, Aug. 19.-Prince Alexan-
der of Serbia, regent of the new
kingdom. is not in a hospital at all,
but in the Hotel Continental here,
and his worst illness Is what might
be termed a diplomatic broken
leg" However, the doctors who
were reported to have operated on
him for appendicitis. are still trying
to maintain the bluff that he Is In
the hospital at Neuilly.
Just why the Prince chose to rep
resent himself as unable to return
to Belgrade for the funeral of his
father, King Peter, whose body still
lies in state there awaiting burial
on Monday, l.; a matter of conjec-
ture. Some observers believe he
