The representatives of the Allied Governments assembled in Con- ference

in Paris this week to examine the enemy's proposals for peace negotiations and request for an armistice. Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Balfour attended, and Colonel House was present as the special representative of America. Unity on the diplomatic front will, we trust, be attained at this Conference, on whose de- cisions a great deal depends.
