LONDON. July 1o.-The House OF Com
mons adopted an amendment yesterday
to the finance bill. moved by J. Austen
Chamberlain. Chancellor of the Ex-
cheQuer, giving the Government power by
an Order-ln- Council to extend colonial
preference to any territory OF which
any part OF the British Empire may be-
come a mandatory under the League OF
Nations. The vote'was 1875 to So.
During the debate James Myles Hogge

opportunities in those territories, lie

REPORTS DIFFER ON
SILESIAN PLEBISCITE
Berlin Says U. S. Troops Will
Watch Vote-Paris Denies II.

BERLIN, July 10.-The FoSsische Zeit-
ung prints so-day n report that $4,000
American troops are on their way from
during the taking of the pleblscite to
decide that districts future.
PARIS, July 10.-Reports received
from German sources that American
troops would occupy Upper Silesia were
denied in American circles here to-day.
A member of the American peace delega-
ton characterized the reports as perfect
rubbish AS far as could be learned
no allied forces whatever will go to
Silesia.
The situation regarding the status of
that region during the period when the
Polish and German troops will be with
drawn and a plebiscite conducted is
rather nebulous. Originally It was pro-
posed that a mixed allied force of ap-
proximately three divisions would be
sent there to insure fair plebiscite and
to maintain order. In the hurry and
pressure of the last days Of the German
peace negotiations the question ap-
parently was dropped.
In American circles II is pointed out
that the American army cannot be used
legally for such u purpose without spe-
cial authorization. The French, II Is
said, are entirely opposed to the project
while the British are said to be luke
warm.
1t Is said also that much the same
situation prevails regarding the proposed
force of occupation in Bulgaria.

RESERVATION PLAN
BEATEN AT WEIMAR
Conservatives Vainly Try to
Insert Clause to Soue Kaiser.
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, July 8 (delayed) President
Epert signed the pill ratifying the Peace
treaty at o'clock tonight, according
10 the Forrrderts. and the document has
been despatched to Versailles.
The German National Assembly very
plainly demonstrated yesterday that il
wanted to complete the unpleasant task
OF ratifying the treaty quickly and with
out obscuring the measure in any yay
with qualifying resolutions.
At the opening of the session the Con-
serratives introduced a resolution which
would make ratification dependent upon
the judgment of recognized authorities
IN international law as 10 whether the
proposed international court could in
stitute trial and could, with retroactive
jurisdiction and authority. impose penal
ties which have not heretofore been pre-
scrioed In international Law.
The resolution was aimed at the en-
forcement of Articles 227 to 23O in
elusive or the Peace Treaty. providing
for the trial of the former Emperor and
Germans accused of causing the war or
OF violations of the rules of war; 1t
also provided for the establishment of a
neutral court to pass upon the question
OF responsibility for the conflict
The bill ratifying the treaty passed
the first reading and then a recess was
taken to give the parties an opportunity
10 discuss the resolution. After fifteen
minutes the Assembly reconvened, and
DIR. Schiller, National Liberal leader and
former Minister of Finance stated that
he regretted the introduction of the
resolution. as II would only serve TO
confuse the situation. A Clerical speaker
said the time for reservations was
passed The Conservatives defended the
resolution, but II was decisively beaten.
The treaty bill was then taken I'D and
quickly passed second and third read
ings, with the opposition coming from
Democrats. National Liberals and Con-
servatives. DR. Bernhard Dernburg. for
mer Minister of Finance Friedrich Won
Payer. former Imperial Vice. Chancellor,
and a few other Democrats voted for
ratification.
During the debate on that occasion DR..
Hermann Mueller. Foreign Minister,
spoke OF the German signature as being
torn from u.s."
I'VE have accelerated ratification of
the treaty" DR.. Mueller added, lin COM

LONDON, July 10.-American prohibit

them how to get this country dry. I
have reported to my headquarters that
the position here is entirely different
from that back home. but that 1t is far
from being as hopeless as appears on the

"Our workers who come over here as

which the new nation Is founded are
set forth as essentially democratic, the
principles being those OF the Social
Democratic and Christian Socialist par
ties.
Essentially. therefore, the note con-
tinues, the nation Is founded ION the
two principal classes-working men and
peasants-who under the old regime
never had a real share in the direction
Of the State and could never freely
realize their political aims. 1T Is the

which has insured a full and complete
preponderance to democracy in our coun-
try"
The history of the democratic move
ment in Austria since 1S4S il gone into
by the note. The idea of the move
ment. II Is asserted. was to transform
the country into a confederation OF ma
TONS in each of which the people should
govern themselves.
Therefore" the note says. has our
democracy, especially in German Austria.

proclaimed the principles of the League
Of Nations. hailed this idea and appre-
ciated II at its just value while the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy was still in

The progress that had been made to
this end within the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy. DR.. Renner points out, has
been negatived under the seeds Of hate
that the war has left behind 1t, but" he
added, "the idea of n private union OF
several nations is far surpassed BY the
idea of League of Nations which is TO
include all the nations Of the world and
render special leagues superfiuous"
The note concluded with the statement
that the delegation takes the liberty of
Insisting on its request" for admission to
the league upon the signing of the treaty

BERLIN, July 10--A commission COM
posed of the trusted representatives OF
Great German Industries who are aim
in gat restoring ordered economic rela-
lions between Germany and soviet Rus
sia Is entering into negotiations with
authoritative quarters in Moscow. The
Berlin papers now report that the pre-
liminary result OF these negotiations
consists in the settling Of certain prepa-
ratory steps. In extensive discussions
with representatives of the supreme
council, for political economy, the mem
bera Of the German commission are
said 10 have had an opportunity to learn
the view and wishes of the soviet au-
thorities and to represent their own.
They have, moreover. obtained by n
thorough examination Of numerous in
dustrial and agricultural undertakings
an unvarnished picture of the state OF
things in the domain Of the Soviet Gov
eminent. The Nieu,1 WelttoirtschaJt says
that the Impressions With which the
commission has returned to Germany
eliminated in the conviction that the
speediest resumption of economic rela-
lions between Germany and Soviet Rus
sa is not only possible but also neces-
sary in the interest of both parties. 1t
In also said that in the course OF the
negotiations n sort OF programme OF ac-
ton was approved. Reorganization of
the Russian railway traffic constitutes
the first point.
German industry will first have the
task of supplying the necessary ma
chinery, tools and materials for the rem
ovation and technicians for the numerous
plants for repairs planned by the STU
10 'l,n
works themselves will in the shortest
time possible be made ready for opera
ton by the construction section of the
supreme council for political economy.
Construction of a large trauscontinental
central station near Petrograd is also
contemplated
Similar projects. which promise large
and profitable employment for German
industry, are In preparatory stage. As
1t is regarded as problematical whether
the condition of the Russian railways is
such as to admit in the near future of
the transport of large quantities of heavy
goods from Germany TO the interior OF
Russia and a corresponding import from
Russia into Germany, II Is believed that
recourse to sea transport Will be neces-
sary.
1t is thought that political obstruc-
ton is no longer 10 be feared because
the blockade is to cease with ratification
ofthe peace treaty by Germany. while II
Ia said that apparently the impending
peace negotiations between the Entente
and Russia will result in the removal of
the blockade directed against Russia by
the Entente Powers.
II is also thought the tonnage problem
can be solved without much difficulty, as
Swe dish and Danish tonnage would prob
ably be Forthcoming In a sufficient guam
tity for traffic requirements to Russian
northern ports.

ITALY'S PUBLIC DEBT
UP $S,OOO,OOO,OOO
Parliament Told Years Outlay
Exceeded Revenues by
S1,OOO,OOO,OOO

ROME, July 10--Signor Schanzer
Minister of the Treasury, in a statement
before Parliament to-day on the finan-
cial situation said that expenses In last
years budget amounted to more than
$1,000. 600, 900. as against revenues OF
5000. 900, 900. leaving a deficit Of $1,000
0O0. O0O. The Minister said deficit in
the the budget of. 1880 of more than
s12S, 900 could be expected, while
the war liquidation expenses would
amount to nearly s4o0, 600. 900.
The public debt, signor Schanzer con-
tlnued, has risen more than $4,000. o0o.-
O00, including Italy's debt abroad. which
Is almost $500. 100000. but reparations
asked from the enemy are somewhat SUI
perior TO this last amount. Minister
Schanzer proposes to face the deficit
with economies in addition to new taxes,
chiefly a progressive tax on incomes,
the average amounting to Is per cent.
Other taxes on luxuries, including wine,
will be imposed.
Premier Nitti convoked the Council
of Ministers last night and received
from Foreign Minister Tittoni. tmme-
diately upon the latter's arrival from

the Peace Conference. Signor Tittoni
was accompanied from Paris by Mag
giorino Ferraris and Signor Scialoia OF
the italian peace delegation.
No statement was issued as to the
Ministerial conference. but Deputies and
Senators said they were under the i'm
preston that Minister Tfttoni must have
met serious difficulties in his attempt to
have the Italian point of view accepted
at Paris or he would not have come ia
Rome.
Premier Nitti in his speech before Par
Lament yesterday summarized the pro-
grlinme Of the Government by saying II
was planned to hasten the peace nego-
tiations so that peace could be copcluded
at once, with the UNFOLDING OF Italian
national aspirations. The rapid trans-
formation from q war to a peace footing
he said. Is to be effected. and what was
rendered necessary by the conflict and
has become srperfiuous and indeed harm
full in peace will be abolished.
He said the bitter condition OF the peo-
pie will be alleviated by the Government
shich is aiming to lower prices. without
which, he said. 'It is impossible to guar
antee social peace" Financial and eco-
nomic reforms rendered nee sssary by
new conditions will be rapidly pre-
pared, the maintenance of public order
being Indispensable for realization OF
the entire programme.
