Chamber, by Vote of Alb to
40, Expresses It's
Confidence

Rome, Dec. THE Italian Chamber
Saturday passed vote of confidence in
the government, 4l3 to 40. Admiral Bet

resolution, calling for vote of confidence
in the cabinet. The admiral said he APP
proved of the reasons OF neutrality as
given by Premier Salandra.
1taly's neutrality was not due to un-
satisfactory military conditions in the
country, Admiral Bettolo said, but be-
cause Italy was not obliged to follow the
central empires of Europe. The former
minister added: Our neutrality must be
strongly armed so as to enable us to de-
fend the supreme interests of the coun-
try il they are threatened or unrecog-
nized. Our neutrality should be an ex-
preston Of Italy's diplomatic and mill

Bernard Won Buel6w, former chancellor
of the German empire, had been placed at
the head of the German embassy at
Rome while the present ambassador, Herr
Won Flotow, is to be absent for three

aroused much interested comment in
Rome. Although this move has been re-
ported as probable for some time. it may
be said to have produced considerable
sensation. 1t is remarkable that for
mer chancellor should become the head of
an EN- bassy which is by no means the
most important in the German diplomat
ic service. In some quarters the ap-
pointment is regarded as Germany's an
