Assembly in Washington within a few weeks of a great international war coun cil was foreshadowed by an announce ment from the state department that a British commission, headed by Ar thur J. Balfour, minister of foreign affairs, is expected to arrive within 10 days to discuss with the govern ment here questions connected with the conduct of the war. In addition to the foreign minister, the commis sion will include Admiral de Chair, of the British navy, General Bridges, of the Army, and the governor of the Bank of England, attended by a num merous staff. This was as far as the announce ment made by the state department goes, but it was learned authoritative ly that a French commission com posed of officials and officers equally as distinguished as the British rep resentatives also will be in Washing ton about the same time. Thi3 commission will be headed by M; Viyi ani, the present minister of justice in the French cabinet and formerly premier. It is not known definitely wnetner will , i ttt u : send commissioners tu waoiniiK1A' but it is assumed that, owing to the difficulties in passage and the prob able delay, the interests of these gov ernments will be confided to their res ident ambassadors. iBeyond the statement that the ob ject of the commission is to discuss generally questions of policy connect ed with the war, no information was made clear that in no way will the United States government depart from the traditional policy of avoid ing anything in the nature of 4-politi-cal alliances, though, of course, that does not include full and intimate military and navalj co-operation in the-prosecution of the war. . Wiile it is by no means certain there will "be a joint meeting of the visiting commissions, if the state de partment should desire to avoid the appearance of an alliance, there is certain to be concert of action in some way. The conference is stated to have r-wvr. otY,4- Kir tViP. allied leaders 1 nnn k,cci "j J'uu themselves in order to discuss every phase of the war. The caliber of the men sent, particularly Foreign Secretary Balfour, who is remember ed here most warmly for his earnest endorsement of President Wilson's plan for world federation to insure peace, and Minister of Justice Viviani, one of the first half dozen statesmen of France, is very gratifying to offi cials. One of the first questions to be taken up will be the distribution of the $3,000,000,000 loan to the allies for which President Wilson has ask ed congress to provide. The great problem before the con ference is stated to be the mainten ance of the flow of American muni tions and food supplies to Europe. This will be sought first by naval interest tor tne large numoer oi, , T ntr,wtion of in Hickory and vicinity and aLV "Xi Znl pW- x uui;v ij vv. u vvj.w- - western edge of the upper Coucy forest There is every evidence that this any other of the allied powers attack was carefully prepared by extensive artillery fire and there would be litle surprise if the offen sive becomes general.

Paris reports the position straightened out by means of attacks during the night. MR E TRENCHES ARE TAKEN BY BRITISH (By Asuoeiated Press.)
