The Allied Governments met in conference in Rome on Saturday
and Sunday last. Mr. Lloyd George and Lord Milner, with AL Briand and M. Albert Thomas and the Russian Ambassador, were the leading delegates to Italy. IL Briand has explained- that the object of the Conference was to solve various difficulties of detail, and to dispel the clouds in which the enemy and some neutrals had been trying to envelop the Allies and their relations to one another. That object, he said, had been achieved. "Their Italian colleagues had shown the liveliest desire to push determinedly on to the common victory." There has been much speculation as to the • results of the Conference, but nothing- is known about them. It is, however, reasonable to infer that the Conference agreed to the sharply worded ultimatum handed to King Constantine on Tuesday by the four Powers who were represented at Rome.
