ITALIANS WILL ACCEPT
DALMATlAN SETTLEMENT
OrIando's Resignation Not Yet Accept
ed.-Trouble Started Over
Loyalty to Allies

Paris, June 21-The italian delega-
ton to the peace conference has been
directed from Rome to accept the prop
osition for the settlement of the Dali
Inatian controversy made by Premiers
dent Wilson, according to the Paris
office of Reuters.
Rome, June 21.-'Remain faithful
to our duties toward the allies,'' was
a passage in the address of Premier
Orlando Thursday which turned the
tide against the premier and resulted
in the adverse vote which had its Sc
quel in the resignation of the Orlando
cabinet
There was great tumult and cries
of ''the allies have never been faith
full to us. Why should we be faithful
to them ?"
Signor Orlando's fatefu utterance so
stirred the deputies that the remainder
of his speech received but little at
tention.
Paris, June 21.-The council of
three, composed of Premiers Lloyd
George and Clemenceau and President
Wilson, met yesterday afternoon and
it is announced, discussed the Ger
man situation and tile Italian cabinet
crisis.

verse vote in the italian chamber Of
deputies on motion by the premier
for a secret session at which the for
eign policy could be discussed The
resignation has not yet been accepted
by King Victor Emmanuel, however,
and it may be that Signor Orlando
will remain in office to carry out the

PALMER TURNS ON

SAYS OPPOSITION Is BASED UPON
PRo-GERMANlsM OF SOME
SENATORS
BITTER DEBATE is STARTED
Controversy Ends With Promise That

Lie Passed Back and Forth Be-

Washington, June o. - Attorney
General Palmer, at the first public
hearing in the fight TO prevent con-
firmation by the senate of his APP
pointinent, turned sharply yesterday
upon his accusers and boldly charged
that they were aligned with German
interests in concerted attempt to
discredit his administration as alien
property custodian.
During the year and half he was
In charge of the office, Mr.. Palmer
declared he had been denounced by
every enemy alien and every friend
and every attorney of every enemy
alien in this country, and that in Ber-
lin he was characterized as the 'of-
fetal American pick pocket" Every
friend of the 10000 aliens whose prop
erty had been seized were attacking
him, he said, because his organization
had seized enemy property and cap
tured the German industrial army in
the United States. 1t would be shown,
he told the committee, that the par
ticular charges lodged against him
We're not based on the ground that he
had sold enemy plants at too low
price, but that he had sold them to
Americans who had turned them to
profitable account.
Continual Snarl
For nearly five hours the senate
Judiciary subcommittee, conducting an
open inquiry at the request of the at
torney general, was in continual
snarl. For two hours a crowd that
was kept on edge by the tense feel
ing breaking out at Intervals, wit |
messed the remarkable spectacle of |
an attorney general of the United |
States defending his record and slash |
ing at his enemies before a senate |
committee sitting on his fitness for a |
place in the cabinet
: The bitter feeling that broke out |
at the beginning remained to the end, |
the meeting closing abruptly and in |
short order with the announcement by |
Chairman Dillingham; that another ses-
sion would be held today TO determine
further procedure and summon wit
nesses asked for by the complainants.
There was strong belief at the cap
itol last night that no further hear
ings of consequence would he held and
that the committee would recommend
confirmation of Mr.. Palmer's nominal
ton.

Mueller Has Advantage.

Between Herr Noske, the minister
of defense, and DR.. Mueller under sec
rotary of the war food bureau, the
race for the premiership seems TO be
strong one, although Mueller seems
to have the advantage on account of
his greater adaptability in meeting the
desires of the Independents.
An independent leader told the cor
respondent yesterday that it was
matter of indifference to the indepen-
dents who was chosen, as neither man
was liked, but that Noske was least
liked because he would antagonize
hundreds of thousands of persons who
regarded him as a bloodhound and
oppressor."

signing, have expelled Baron Won

to Get Fair Idea of Opinion
Existing in Germany

Washington. June 81 - Latest adj
vices from Berlin are to the effect
that the German cabinet has resigned,
but that temporarily President Ebert
is to retain office.
Friday passed with various conflict
ing reports as to the situation in Ger
many surrounding the intentions of
those in high offices TO sign or to leave
unsigned the peace treaty of the al
lied and associated governments The
preponderating opinion as expressed
in the numerous dispatches, however
indicated that, Notwithstanding the
fact that there was much opposition
to them, the terms of the allies finally
would be met, even if the nature of
the treaty necessitated the resigna-
ton or even removal of those at pres
ent in the high councils.
SO confused is the situation that
it is impossible at present to obtain
even fair idea of conditions in Ger
many as they really exist, but there
seems basis for the belief that it is
the intention of the Germans finally
to acquiesce in the allied demands.
