PARIS, June 2O.--The events in
Italy, eliminating in the fall of the
Orlando Cabinet, are bound to react
on France, it is believed here. The
grave menace of the future, from the
French viewpoint. is the possibility of
an alliance between Germany and
Italy. The defeat of Orlando means
that the pro-German party in Italy will
reassert itself.
Because of the economic weakness
of the country the Italian Socialist
and labor elements may be able to
gain support for an extremely radical
programme.
The reasons for the fall of Orlan-
dos government are still only partly
apparent, but it is known that the
Premiers defeat in the Chamber was
partly due to the failure of the Italian
delegates in Paris to obtain all their
demands.
Many minor reasons are assigned to
explain the size of the opposition vote.
1t had been apparent for two weeks
that Orlando had lost his political
control. His end, seemingly, was
timed to coincide with the completion
Of the peace treaty.

ated Press).-Gustav Noske. the Min
lister of Defence, will succeed Philip

Ministry, according to Weimar dis
patch received here to-day. Matthias

egraphing from Weimar. Those who

said, are Matthias Erzberger, Johannes
Bell, Gustav Noske and Eduard David
The Frankfort "Zeitung" editorially
has taken firm position in favor of
the acceptance Of the treaty. The
newspaper says that the most des-

the Allies to force Germany to accept
peace by further military advances
into parts Of Germany now unoccupied

Holds Conference With
Entire American Dele
cation; III ouse Present
After Trip to England
Sets No HomecomingD Date
German Cabinet Resignation
and Other Developments
Make His Plans Uncertain

PARIS, June 20 (By The Associated
Press Wilson and his
party arrived here this morning at 9
o'clock after two-day trip to Brussels
and the war zone in Belgium. There
was no formal reception and Mr.. Will
son drove Immediately to the Paris
white House." The President had a
good nights rest and said he was not
tired. He expressed his enjoyment and
interest in the trip.
At II o'clock the President went to
the Hotel de Crillon and held a con-
ference with the entire personnel of
the American delegation to the peace
conference, including Colonel E. M
House, who returned last evening from
his visit to England.
The effect upon the Presidents plans
of the Cabinet resignation in Germany
and the further developments expected
is uncertain. A German request for an
extension of time to act on the treaty
is looked for, and it is understood that
the President told the delegation to-
cay that he had fixed no date for his
departure for home.
Mr.. Wilson met the American mem
bers Of the Supreme Economic Com
mission to-day to consider whether
that body should be discontinued. 1t
is understood that Herbert Hoover
Director General Of the inter-Allied ID
relief organization; Vance Mccormack
chairman of the American War Trade
Board, and Bernard M. Baruch, vice
president Of the subcommittee of the
peace conference to study measures of
control and guarantees, are in favor OF
dlscontinuance of the commission
and the return home Of the American
members, whereas the British favor its
continuance with broader duties, in
cluding shipping and other branches
formerly conducted by separate com
mittee in London.
The economic commission was ere.
ated for the period of the armistice
which expires with the signing of the
peace treaty.

Germany S,Uept
By Peace Move
Old Line Of Cleavage
Vanishes as Strong
Desire to Sign Cro,us

PARIS, June 20 (By The Associated
Press) s).-lndications that a psychologist
cal swing in favor of signing the peace
treaty had set in in Germany and that
all political parties were affected by it
were received in dispatches from Ger
many to the peace conference to-day.
Last night, before the Schedemann
government handed in it's resignation, a
small majority of the Cabinet opposed
signing and small majority of the
National Assembly was in favor of it.
All parties, except the Independent So
cialists, apparently have split on the
question and the old lines of cleavage
have disappeared. The Centrists, Dem
ocrats and Majority Socialists are said
to favor signing.
The general change in opinion is re-
fiected in the newspapers. The Con-
servative press is declaring that it is
wrong to sign and is inveighing against
the cowardice Of the government. The
extreme Radical papers declare that
the working people want peace at any
price, while the middle group admits
there is nothing left but to sign.
Conference circles are cheerful over
the outlook. 1t is believed that the
signing of the treaty by Germany now
is assured.
News of the retirement Of Philip
Scheidemann as Premier and of the
reformation of the coalition govern
ment in Germany came as no surprise
IN peace conference circles, as it had
been known for some time that Scheide-
mann, Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau,
and several other Cabinet members
were SO thoroughly committed by past
utterances to not signing the treaty
that new Cabinet and. perhaps, new
President, might have to be installed
before the treaty is signed, unless it is
modified materially.
The retirement Of Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau and Herr Giesberts, and prob
ably Dr. Dernburg, from the Cabinet, in
anticipated. Matthias Erzberger pre-
sumably will take the place Of Gies-
berts as the Centrist leader in the
/ Cabinet.
The news of the political changes in
! Germany was made known to the Amer
lean delegation while it was meeting
with President Wilson. 1t caused con-
siderable satisfaction and was inter
preted as an indication that Germany
will accept tho treaty.
Noske's Choice Surprising
The selection of Herr Noske to head
the new Cabinet, If the report is con.
| firmed, Is q surprising factor, as he
had been regarded as an opponent OF
signing. 1t is known, however, that
there has been a considerable shift in
the attitude Of various politicians, par
ties and newspapers lately, and experts
here on the German situation think
THAT Noskc, as the strong man of the
administration, may, perhaps. bring 6
| favorable change in the German gov.
ernment.
| The 9reatest difficulty Is to realize
how Herr Noske. the chief exponent
lot force toward aths -'xndApsndsnt 30.

Fourth Note Puts Chief
Responsibility for Var
on Hungarian Officials

PARIS, June 20 (By The Associated
Press).--The council of three, COM
posed Of Premiers Lloyd George and
Clemenceau, and President Wilson, met
this afternoon, and, it is understood,
discussed the German situation and
the Italian Cabinet crisis.
The council also took up the uncom-
pleted sections Of the Austrian peace
treaty.
The Turkish delegation, which had
promised to send to-day to the peace
conference memoranda on the DISPOSE
ton of Turkey, failed to do so. The
Turks, however, Informed the secre-
tariat Of the conference that they
would send the memoranda Monday or
Tuesday.
The Austrian delegation has sent a
fourth note to the peace conference
protesting against the German-Aus-
,trian republic being made the heir
of all the responsibilities of the Aus
tro-Hungaran Empire, of which it was
but the smallest, poorest, most peaceful
and most liberal Of states
ut points out that at the time war
was declared in 1914, the Foreign Min
lister, his two principal collaborators
and almost all Of Austria's ambassa-
doris were Hungarian, and maintains
that the responsibility for the war
is common to all the states forming
the Empire that has vanished"
The note expresses confidence that
the spirit Of justice of the conference
will not let the whole burden be
thrown upon German-Austria."
The Austrian counter proposals are
being completed by the transmission

Allied Terms accepted BY
German assembly. Says
Dispatch From Paris

LONDON, June 20.-The German Ma
tional Assembly at Weimar has ac-
cepted the peace treaty, according to
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Paris.
If the National Assembly at Weimar
has taken the action reported in the
foregoing agency dispatch, it has
passed upon the peace treaty day
earlier than the last direct advices
from Germany had indicated. Dis
patches from Berlin received Thursday
night stated that the Assembly was ex-
pected to make it's final decision on
the treaty on Saturday.
The signing of the peace treaty by
Germany, an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Copenhagen, quoting ad-
vices from Weimar, says, is as certain
as If the signatures had already been
put to the document.
poll of the various states of Ger
many with regard to their attitude on
the peace terms was taken yesterday
at Weimar, the dispatch from Copen-
hagen adds.
Hamburg, Brennan and Lubbock voted
against signing; Wurttemburg and
Baden were in favor of the signing
while Bavaria and saxony were un-
decided.
A Reuters dispatch from weimar
states that a meeting on Thursday of
the Centrist members of the German
National Assembly decided by four
ffths majority in favor of signing the
treaty of peace, with reservations re-
garding responsibility for the war and
the honor of the German nation.
The German National party, it is
stated, is unanimously resolved against
signing. Fifty-six members Of the Ger
man Democratic party voted against
signing the Allied terms, while eight
others voted that the treaty be signed
signing without condition.

Chinese Arrests Due 10
Anti-.Japanese Boycott


WASHINGTON, June 20.-Arrest Of
5000 Chinese students at Fuchow by
Chinese and japanese military authori-
ties was said in official circles here to-.
day to have resulted from the anti
Japanese boycott growing out of the
decision of the peace conference on
the Shantung question.
Fuchow, in Fukien province opposite
Formosa, has been held by the japanese
to be within their sphere of influence,
and when the disorders began they
were reported to have been regarded as
justification for the landing of Jap
anese troops.
The Chinese authorities, fearing
fforcible action by Japan, are said to
have been trying to stop the boycott,
which has been largely fomented by
Chinese students.

calsts and the Spartacides, can work
with the Independent Socialists and
the Spartacides.
1t is possible, however, that Hugo
Haase, leader of the Independent So
calists, and his party, will place the
necessity of peace for Germany above
their hatred and distrust of the Min
lister of National Defence. The pos
sbility must, however, be borne in
mind that Minister Noske may have
been called to head the government as
the strongest man in moment of ma
tional crisis. not necessarily to sign
unpopular conditions of peace, but to
constitute an administration capable
of riding out the coming storm.

BERLIN, June 20 (By The Associated

Eau, head Of the German peace dele
cation to Versailles, has sent a note
to NJ. Clemenceau, president of the
peace conference, citing twelve in
stances in which the covering note of
the Allied reply to the Germans on
June 16 announced concessions which
are not contained in the altered text
of the peace treaty.
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau asks
how far the Allies bind themselves to
hese>concessions, and requests written
confirmation that the contents of the
covering note and the memorandum on
these points form part Of the new
peace offer.
Count Won Brockdorff-R -Rantzau fur
ther points out several instances
where, in addition to the handwritten
alterations, the present printed copy
of the treaty differs from the copy of
May 7, and asks to be notified before
the expiration of the time limit how
far it is intended that these changes
are to go.

tion surrounding the peace terms OF
the Allied and associated powers.
Up to noon to-day Berlin virtually
was without news of the retirement of
the Cabinet. The morning newspapers
were on the press when the flash an
nouncing the resignation of the Cabi-
net came. The capital is completely
cut off from quick and reliable con-
tact with the developments at Weimar.
The dominating impression in Ber-
lin, however, is that the terms of the
Allies will be accepted. The resisting
powers of the average Berliner are
whitening under the unusual heat
wave of the last few days, and the
political shift at Weilnar finds him in
an aequiescent mood. He automati-
cally links food with peace, and en-
courages the thought of the line Of

STRAUS IS LOST
TO PENN ELEVEN
Veteran HaIfback Suffers Rup-
ture and May Be Unable TO
Play Remainder of Season
"VIC" FRANK MAKES GOOD

Joe Straus, veteran Penn halfback
and hero of the 1917 campaign. will be
lost to Coach Folwell for several weeks
and probably for the rest of the season
when an examination NJ the University
Hospital this morning revealed that he
had suffered a rupture in Friday S
scrimmage.
Straus. who is the idol of the Red and
Blue rootcrs, reported to the team last
Wednesday and. though ten days late,
he jumped into the drills with so much
pep that the coaches were forced to re
strain him. Joe was not in the best of
condition and for that reason was
placed at halfback on the scrubs. A de-
sire to show the coaches that he did not
belong there. led him to overdo matters
and the rupture resulted.
Forced to Retire
Joe played through the early practice
with the scrubs yesterday and ran
through little signal drill when he was
forced to retire to the sidelines. Straus
is the fourth player on the Red and
Blue squad to be injured severely.
though the other casualties are recov-
ering rapidly.
In preparation for the Buckneli game
on Saturday the varsity was driven
through the hardest scrimmage of the
year. The first team beat the second
varsity in half hour sCrimmage by
| two touchdowns to none. Light scored
one with n long run. while Ben Derr
took the other across from the FIVE.
/ yard line.
Victor Frank, former Central High
athlete, has won permanent berth on
the team at guard, according to Fol
well. Frank displaced Herb Dieter,
star in 1917. yesterday, and the latter
was sent to the second varsity. Frank
and Neylon will start on Saturday al
the guard positions, according to Fol

days drill last Friday, jumped into the
scrmmage yesterday and played a won
dcrful game while his wind lasted.

Saturday "A la Mule Watson and Jo,
Dugan, Of our "A's." Barrick hail,
from Pittsburgh and played fullbacI
on Hog Island for two years. He will
not be missed by Folwell, as there il
plenty of backield material of the sam
quality.
Trouble with his lessons and an in
ability TO master the Penn signals lie,
to Barrick's sudden departure. No
body knows where he has gone an,
they care less, according to tn
coaches.
