LLOYD GEORGE CABLES
BY LOUIS sEIBOLD.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., Nov. 8.
Most important Of to-day's actual
Developments preliminary to con-
vening of the. world conference on
Saturday next were the first meeting
Of the advisory committee to the
American delegates and a message
from Lloyd George by way of the
British Embassy to the President of
the United States.
Other than these events the atten-
tion OF the dignitaries, special COM
missioners, expert analysts, propa-
gandists and sightseers who are be-
ginning to choke the corridors of the
hotels, was centred upon the prepara-
tions for the great honor to be paid
to the Unknown American Soldier on
Friday.
These preparations have been com.
pleted and finally approved and the
scope of them promises the most i'm.
pressive ceremonials that ever oc.
CARED at the American capital. For
the time being therefore thought and
discussion Of the momentous prob
lens confronting the gathering which
is to assemble on the following day
have been set aside. though this fact
has not discouraged the vast army of
scientific thinkers and reformers en-.
gagged in the task OF Solving weeks
ahead Of the time the tremendous
perplexities involved in the remaking
Of the military, diplomatic and poll.
tical world.
Hardfng's Address Completed.
All sorts of formulas for tho regula-
ton of existing evils are under dis
cussion by the unofficial students of
world affairs who hold not the slight
est relation to the council called bv
President Harding to provide relief
from them.
The officials of the American Gov
ernment are devoting their fullest en-
ergies to arranging the physical fea-
lures incidental to the ceremonies in
honor Of the Unknown Hero whose
body tonight lies in the rotunda of
the Capitol and those incidental to the
convening Of the conference on Satur-
day. President Harding has completed
the addresses he will deliver on both
occasions. That which he viii make
in the presence Of the delegates sent
by the Governments of Great Britain,
France. Italy. Belgium, the Neither
lands and Japan is the one 20 which
these ENJOYS attach the greater i'm
portance, for they expect him TO de-
fine generally the views of the Ameri-
can Government toward the matters
set forth in his invitation to the con-
ference as simply and forcibly as plain
language will permit
Some of the foreign delegates are
slightly perplexed regarding the status
Of the advisory committee to the
American delegates, and up to date do
not clearly understand the relation OF
that body to the conference itself.
They will probably be enlightened to-
morrow when subcommittee Of tho
advisory committee reports a plan OF
organization to the American dele
gates and to the other members Of the
committee itself.
Duty of Advisory Board.
The first meeting of the advisory
committee was held at the State De-
partment to-day with Secretary of State
Hughes. leader OF the American delega-
ton, presiding. The conference between
the delegates and the committee con-
tinued for two hours. during which
Mr.. Hughes outlined the scope of the
