Allies has assembled in Paris and Reuter's Agency informs ug that it is expected to evolve coordinated war plans of superlative importance to all future operations. This important conference has been a long time in coming: it has been reached by easy stages, }but, although many would have liked to see a conference of this kind before, recent events have plainly shown the fruitfulness of such meetings as have been held.

After the meeting of French and Italian statesmen Rome it was declared that the Ministers recognized the urgency of the situation, and that the other allied Governments were in agreement. Hence we now have a conference conceived on larger and more representative lines than any previous gathering. including, it is believed, all the Allies in the persons of both poli tical and military representatives, Subsequently there will be another conference in Rome, which is held to be "a good augury for the unanimity of the decision to be: reached at the conference in Paris."
