(Special Cable.) Premier Lloyd George left today for Paris, accompanied by the Colonial Pre mlers and members of the Indian dele gallon. Bonar Law made a flight to Paris In an airplane. Japanese Am basaador Chlnda and staff also have departed for the peace conference, The Premier left with practically all of the British press barking at his heels over his Cabinet-building operations. Some of his staunchest supporters are trying to soften the criticism by saying it is a stop-gap Cabinet and that after the conclusion of the peace delibera Uons a considerable part of it will be scrapped and new material substituted. This optimistic view is not beld by tht Liberals. Churchill's Appointment Opposed. Among the appointments most con demned are those of Winston Churchill for the War Office, of Sir Frederick Smith as Chancellor and of Walter Long, characterized as a "hood farm er" who was placed at the head of the Admiralty as a concession to toryism. This strange barrage of dissent will presently be dispelled by the attention that will be focused on the all-lmpor tant deliberations which will begin in Paris tomorrow. As I have said in recent dispatches to The Oregonian, Lloyd George goes to Paris aa an outright supporter of the league-of-natlons project. There was never much doubt here as to the advisability of President Wilson's visit to England. Now the view Is not dls puted that the visit was primarily in strumental in bringing the two bnp llsh-speakinsr nations in full accord, and clear agreement on the essential con dltions of a world peace. Lord Curzon's speech yesterday at the Pilgrims' reception In honor of John W. Davis, the American Ambas sador, may be regarded as nn answer to the position of Premier Clemenceau, of France. Just Settlement Wanted. It pointed out the necessity of the two English-speaking nations standing together, should the league-oi-nations project fail III the peace conference. In this connection the Manchester Guard ian says today: 'Our earnest hope Is that France will stand with us. We shall not easily be lieve that great nation will be led away by a revival of dreams of mili tary glory and domination. What must be understood is that this country de sires not a peace treaty of the old kind, in which each power grasped all it could, but a world settlement on Just and lasting principles, and that any power which teeks to obstruct such principles will be left isolated. As to the future, the Ensrlish-SDealc- Ing people, standing together, would have nothing to fear; but they would never again Intervene in a Continental auarrel. if they were to find the results of this victory used only for national aggrandizement." El Itch Oardons in Denver was adver tising it. Major-General 3. L. Chamberlain, from the Adjutant-General's . office Washington. D. C, registered at the Hotel Portland yesterday.

Bremerton Navy-yard, who is at the ' Multnomah, believes Secretary Daniels is giving a lot of personal attention to reducing expenses of the American Navy. Recently Lieutenant Tichenor sent a requisition, for the purchase of 40 books of commutation tickets be tween Bremerton and Seattle. A few days ago the requisition was returned with the notation on the back: "Please get along with 20 books until June 1. Josephus Daniels." How the requisi tion ever got to the desk of the head of the Navy is a mystery. Frank Brown, of Carlton, famous Oregon breeder of shorthorns, was among yesterday's arrivals at the Im perial. Judge A. C Hough, formerly of Grants Pass, but now of Seattle, is at the Hotel Portland. J. M. Crawford, of Dundee, who is a member of the Legislature, is at the Imperial. .
