BERLIN, June 20 (by the Associ-
ated Press).-After futile all-day con-
ferences with the various party fac
lions the government this evening
declared itself unable to pick a new
cabinet and decided to postpone the
effort for forty-eight hours.
Matthias ErZberger is reported to
have sent a note to Premier Clemen-
ceau as president of the peace con-
ference asking whether the allies will
agree to the immediate admission OF
Seeks 20 Save Ex-Kaiser.
Herr Erzberger also desires to know
81 the powers will consent to the lirui-
tation of Germany's indemnity to
100000. 100000 gold marks and re-
nounce their effort to have former En-
peror William surrendered.
The note does not say whether Ger
many will sign the peace treaty, but
the inference seems clear that she
would accept the treaty If these con-
cessions were made
1t is known that difficulty is being
experienced in securing a majority
without the German democrats for the
formation of a government, and the
conditions named by Herr Erzberger
are those upon which the democrats
would re-enter the majority block.
The center party also has declared
that 1t desired similar concessions, but
its position as to this has not been re-
garded as an unsuitable one.
