Gated that up to noon today complete
chaos prevailed in the city where the
national assembly and the cabinet
were endeavoring to thresh out the
situation surrounding the peace terms
OF the allied and associated powers
Up to noon today Berlin was virtu-
ally without news of the retirement
of the cabinet. The morning news
papers were on the press when the
fash announcing the resignation of
the cabinet came. The capital is
completely cut off from quick and re-
liable contact with the developments
at Weimar.
The dominating impression in
Berlin. however. is that the terms of
the allies will be accepted.
The cabinet resigned at o'clock
this morning. President Ebert will
retain his Office temporarily.

Bureau Chiefs to Be Heard.

Secretary Baker has called on the
heads of the various bureaus for views
as to how the big cut can be made with
the least impairment OF the necessary
business of the department The bu-
reaus mainly affected by the cut are the
adjutant generals Office, where there
are 3.465 persons on the. additional roll;
quartermaster generals office, with
SS1. and the surgeon generals Office.
with $50 additional employees.
Two courses of action are under con-
sideration. One Of these is to meet the
reduced appropriation by discharging
force July l and making an equal month
ly disbursement Of the 81, 000, 900 during
the entire fiscal year. Objection is
made to that plan on the general ground
that the reduced force could not handle
the great mass of postwar work con-
nected with the Rehabilitation of the
Army and the settlement Of pay ac-
counts now pressing for action IL, in
deed. it did not paralyze the business of
some Of the large bureaus.
The other course, which meets with
more general favor. is to continue the
present force in operation as long as
possible. during the coming fiscal
year. reducing it gradually from
month to month as the accumulated
work is disposed Of, until the entire
dIio" oHCC III Tie year Is cAftdu SCcO.
Then the situation could be presented
to Congress for whatever action is re-
quired. That plan. it is declared,
would effect the best results and at
any rate would DELAY for a few
months the heavy reduction in the
clerical force decreed by Congress.
Secretary Baker to Decide.
The course to be followed will be
determined by Secretary Baker within
the next few days. after he has re-
ceived and considered the reports
from bureau officials. There also is
a possibility-admittedl remote
that Congress may make further pro-
vision for the civil establishment of
the War Department in the sundry
civil appropriation bill now pending
or in some other way before July 1.
The statutory roll of classified en-
ployes of the War Department. con-
tanning 1880 names, is not affected by
the reduced appropriation. having
been provided for at the usual rate
for the coming fiscal year.

May Defer Austrian Treaty.

1t is generally believed that the Ital-
ian stand will defer the signing of the
treaty with Austria unless specific pro-
visions are not made for later settle
ment of the whole Adriatic problem.
In this case 1t is regarded as certain in
Washington that when France, Great
Britain and Italy get together after
President Wilson has gone the Settle
ments will be made directly to the in
terest of Italy and more In accordance
with the national wishes of the kingdom.

Headquarters' Activity.

This was a most stirring day at
Sd Army headquarters and among the
1st and I'd. Divisions holding. the east
bank of the Rhine since the Ameri-
cans moved in, about six months ago.
Late yesterday orders were flashed
from headquarters in Coblenz to the
divisions across the Rhine. ordering
them to prepare to march into the
zone of concentration. Within a short
time the orders were transmitted to
officers commanding companies, and
socn commissioned officers were
routing their superiors out of their
billets and clubs and relaying the
concentration orders which had come
from Marshal Foch.
While the civilians in the small
towns looked upon the military ac-
tivities sometimes with bewilder-
ment, the soldiers rushed to finish
their packing and to find their he'll

had been issued previously.

London Lacks News.

LONDON. June 20 (by the Associat-

ceiyed in official quarters in London
tonight that Germany intended to sign
the treaty. In the event of refusal to
sign, it was learned that the occupa-
ton of Berlin and the reimposition of
the blockade would almost certainly
follow and that these measures would
surely increase the amount of in
demnity to be demanded from Ger
many.

Lack Confidence in Villas Promis,

Military observers here place little
credence in the reports that Villa has
abandoned his offensive to the north.
Economic. as well as military neces-
sity, it was pointed out, call for the
elimination of the Carranza garrisons
now stationed on the TANKS of the
territory Villa now controls and for
possession of principal frontier
entry port which would give the rebel
chieftain fresh sinews of war in the
shape of customs duties and equip
ment.
Although three federal generals
now are operating against Villa in
northern Mexico, confidential reports
to the War Department are not opti-
mistic regarding the success of the
Carranzista campaign there, while
the withdrawal of badly needed
troops from the south, il is expected,
will be followed by fresh incursions
of the Falicistas-alreadya at the very
gates of the capital.

ARMY WILL CONTINUE
SEARCH IN FRANCE FOR
GRAVES OF A. E. F. DEAD

Announcement was made Yesterday
that the task of locating the graves
or soldiers of the American Expedi
tionary force in France, Belgium and
Germany for relatives in the United
States is now being done exclusively
by the Army Bureau of Graves Reg
istration and the American Red Cross
Since the signing of the armistice the
knights of Columbus have photo
graphed and sent written data to many
hundred families and relatives of the
men who died in battle On account
of the withdrawal of many workers
to the base ports. the Knights have
been compelled to turn their records
and correspondence over to the army
bureau, (which will continue indef
initely.
According to William J. Mulligan
chairman of the Knights of Columbus
committee on war activities, there are
more than 1000 cemeteries in France
where the Americans have been bur
led Many of the plots are located in
the devastated departments and are
hard to locate. One of the greatest
difficulties experienced by the knights
was brought about through the buria
of soldiers in civilian cemeteries. A.
recent case which the Knights haG
to deal with involved a soldier named
,O'Connor. The information stated
that he had been buried in civilian
cemetery between Epernay and Cha
lOns.sur- Marine. The distance between
the two cities is some SO kilometers
Inquiry at the army bureau for thC
distance showed that Ia Americans
were buried in a civilian plot al
Vetus, but the name of the soldier die
not appear on the list. A visit tC
the plot showed that O'Connor had
not been buried there. but in another
cemetery in which civilians had beer
buried some distance away, the in
vestigator came upon the grave Nf
O'Connor's. 1t had been lowered and
decorated with the American colors by
the French people. The Knights
have taken a photograph of the plot
and will forward it to Mrs. O'Connoi
who had made the inquiry.
The American officers i'll charge of
the districts are rapidly recording al
the graves There are several hun
dred graves about France where sol
diers have been buried with only the
WORDS oldat Armee American" to
identify the plot Many of the men
killed in action lost their identified
ton discs and had no marks on their
clothing which might have assisted in
identifying them.

much Interested in the student activi-

There is no doubt that the great
st pride and hope of the deceased of
icer lay in the college, as he not only
often expressed this feeling, but
showed it by action during the entire
period of his station there. He had
been frequently heard to say that he
had never found any place that he
liked as we'll as the city of Annapo-
bis, and that his station at ST Johns
was the most pleasant duty to which
he had ever been assigned.
Frequent moving picture parties
for the entire student body we're
given by Colonel Elliot, who was Also
an energetic and dependable bacEer
of all amusements undertaken by the
cadets. The various organizations of
the college turned to him often for
counsel, with the knowledge that he
would be ready helper
IN military circles Colonel Elliot
was regarded with high esteem, be
ing an intimate friend of General
March and other leaders in sthe serv-
ice. He was pioneer in many Of the
institutions of the army, among them
being the system of arm signals for
control of small arms firing, which he
helped to formulate.
Strict as a disciplinarian the officer
won deep respect from the students,
who knew him aside from the mill
tary routine as a sympathetic and sin
cere friend, and who feel his loss per-
sonally as well as to the college as
