At any rate it was not necessary to be
much of anybody in the Government
service to rate an automobile. The neces-

outlying branches of the Government was
sufficient excuse. At the height of the

ment to that effect was made at a meet
ing of the local council Of the Amer

tionists would utilize the conference
period to demand that America forthwith
insist upon payment of allied indebted
ness to the United States. According to
local newspaper accounts Of the meeting,
there was no concealment Of the fact

ously TO embarrass the British delegates
