They Backed Up Lloyd George

nrNDOSNu on jan. tHaN Nitt Npipiidi |
matters be discussed, NJ. Clemen-
ccau OF France and NJ. Sonnino Of
Italy instantly agreed as though II
had all been understood beforehand.
The President Immediately OBJ |
iected--all the quotations here used !
are made directly from the secret !
Misunderstanding that "the worlds
unrest arose from the unsettled con-
dition OF Europe. not from the state
of affairs in the East. or in the col
onies. and that the postponcment of
these questions would only increase
the pressure on the delegates Of the
Peace Conference. He would. there
fore. prefer 10 set in process imme-
diately all that was required 10
hasten a solution OF European ques-
tons
As a result OF this discussion the
President apparently won his point,
for il was then decided that the
secretary general should ask all
delegations representing powers
with territorial claims to send TO
the Sccretariat their written state
mcnts within ten days"
But the first principle OF success
ful diplomacy. as of war. is attack
swift and unexpected attack. While
President Wilson thought he had
succeeded in getting the discussion
Of colonial claims postponed, he had
not counted upon the impetuous
LLOYD George. At the afternoon
session OF Jan. - there was a great
stir in the outer room OF the French
Foreign once, where. behind
doublelocked doors, the Council Of
Ten was sitting.
AT this stage" reports the
secret minutes. the Dominion prime
minister entered the room: a dry
way, indeed OF setting forth the
dramatic arrival OF the British en-
pire, Lloyd George was incom-
parable in staging such effects as
this.
Perhaps the figures among them
that stood out most impressively at
first glance were Massey OF New
Zealand, a great shaggy. rough
hewn bulk OF a man; and SHUTS Of
South Africa, the youngest and
most distinguished OF the group in
the uniform OF a lieutenant general
81 the British army. Hughes Of
Australia. small. deaf, rather
dried-up old man with an electric
ear phone. and Borden OF Canada,
the ''handsoest man at the Peace
Conference" completed the group.
They were ushered into the Council
room and welcomed by Clemenceau.
They had come TO present their
claims for the possession OF most OF
the former German colonies, which,
as Llyd George explained, had been
captured by Dominion troops. Mr..
Lloyd George made a brief state
ment showing that the German
colonial policy had been a bad one
in Southwest Africa they had de-
hberately pursued a policy Of ex-
termination
Il would like" he declared. 'to
eay on behalf OF the British empire
as a whole that ! would be very
much opposed TO the return TO Ger
many Of any OF these colonies"
President Wilson said that he
thought all were agreed to oppose
the restoration OF the German
colonies,

SHR|NERS INVADING
 FRISCO BY SCORES
City Has Oriental Appearance to
 Greet Delegates

San Francisco, June 1S.--San Francisco is turning itself into a tented oasis for the delegates and visitors to the Golden Jubilee of the Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles Of the Mystic Shrine. June 13 to 1s. For the convention period the San Fran cisco bay district might justly b- termed the Caliphate of California, for it will be made to resemble bit Of the Old World Islam as closely as mans ingenuity will permit.
 The ordained procedure of the real Islam to spread rugs for the call iphs and the lesser noblcs on state occasions will be reversed somewhat in the transplanted Islam. The rugs, or their replicas. will hang overhead on the streets. taking the place of the usual bunting or festoons.
 Oriental Effects
 Market street the main thorough fare, is being turned into a lane close ly akin to the picturesque arteries that lead to the old world mosques. The great Ferry Building. San Fran cisco's front door" will be recogniz- able only as Bedouin tent and the blazing electroliers along the main thoroughfares will be softened with transparencies in which are blended the red, green and gold of the new Near Est.
 Traversing the "hot sands" that lie between the bay and the Civic Center the pilgrim will come upon the place of the kneeing camels, and right be- yond, the minarets, pavilions and obelisks of an Arabian village. In the background will be seen the new City Hall. transformed into an awe inspiring throne place, its great dome glowing at night with red and amber lights and by day with riot of pen mons, gorgeously hued, snapping in the breeze.
 Aviation Program.
 Wednesday, the second day of the convention. the United States army will put on an aviation program with confetti and American beauty roses as the bombing ammunition. On the same day the 13o mile Golden Jubilee

 You will also note that in this plan we have eliminated the position of master mechanic, a position which is now filled by a very capable young man, but we believe that arrange ments could be made whereby repairs of all apparatus of the department and all motor cars which belong 10 the city should be repaired in one re- pair shop, eliminating the added eX- pense which the city is now burdened with. as we understand there arc now two in operation We believe pro- per cost system could be installed and each city department should be charg- cd the actual cost Of repairing all cars, tools and equipment of their de- partments.
 | We suggest that action be taken to see if our present master mechanic could be transferred to like posi- ton in the City Garage at tho same rate Of pay.
 You will also see that we have made no allowance for the one day off in seven, system which now pre- Nails.
 The cost of installing this plan for one full year would be: No. of Men Salary 1 Chief engineer ....$ 3,2o0.o0 1 Asst. Chief engineer. 2500.oo Drill master and in-

 In view of the fact that the Com mon Council did not approve of 10 per cent. cut as made ir the sasrv list by the City Meeting Board at the time the annual ppropriation was made, this department will need ap- proximately s1o.ooo.oo more to carry on this years work.
 You will see that with this nloney. i which should be in our funds, the net cost of installing this plan for six months would be s17.S36.oo.
