AMBASSADOR PAGE
CALLS ON PRESIDENT
Misunderstanding Prevents Mee..
ing-Says He Will Resign
in Few Days.

Thomas Nelson Page, who is eN-
pected to tender his resignation as
ambassador to Italy within few
days, called at the White House to-
day. but owing to a misunderstood
ing as to the hour of his appointment,
did not see the President.
Mr. Page admitted that he expected
to resign shortly after seeing Presi-
dent Wilson.
THE chief thing that Italy wants is
recognition for her sacrifices and spf-
fering during the war;" said Mr.. Page,
in discussing the Italian situation. she
feels that as she was one of the allies
she is entitled to equal consideration
with the other allies. Even the ques-
ton of Fiume is one of sentiment,
for the Italian people believe that
port to be essentially Italian.
Economic conditions in Italy are
serious at present and they are look
ing to the United States for foodstuffs
and coal l believe Italy cherishes a
warmer sentiment towards America
than does any other European nation.
And we now have an unparalleled OPP
portunity to cement that friendship
by helping Italy solve her vital prob
lens of sustenance."

Lansing is now on his way to this city
to assist President Wilson in his deal ID
ings with members of the Senate in
connection with the consideration of

lions covenant.
1t was intended that Secretaries
Lansing and Polk should meet in
New York city for consulate ton re-
garding the general situation in Eu-
rope before Mr.. Folks departure for

because it has bSsn arranged that
Mr.. Polk shall sail from New York on
the liner Imperator Monday morning

layed in sailing from France, will
not arrive at New York before Tues
day or Wednesday newt. 1t is said

Monday. as originally planned.
Mr.. Polk will be accompanied by G
Rowland Shaw Of the legal staff Of
the State Department and C.ssE NAE

day nominated by the President as a

ton since 1895, when he came here as
private secretary to Representative
Stokes. whom he later succeeded in
Congress. While a secretary he took

versity and was graduated in 1899.

candidate for the United States Senate
in the last election, but withdrew from
the campaign at the solicitation of
President Wilson. who asked him to
remain in charge OF the legislative
program affecting agricultural mat
tiers at the time when special atten-
ton to food conservation and stimula-
ton was necessary to help win the war.

DR.. KARL MUCK STILL 4. II. / =
IN U. s.; NEVER DEPORTED

DR.. Karl Muck, former conductor OF
the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in
termed during the war as a dangerous
enemy alien, still is at Fort Ogie-
thorpe. Ga. John r. Creighton of the
Department of Justice told the House
immigration committee yesterday at a
hearing on a bill to deport undesira
BILE aliens.
In view of recent reports that DR..
Muck had left Charleston, S. c., on a
government transport, with several
hundred aliens. Representative iSiegel
of New YORK asked why he had been
deported.
"Dr Muck has not been deported,'
Mr.. Creighton said He did not
choose to go. The fact that he is re-
tanned at Fort Oglethorpe places him
in the class with prominent German
business men held there because we
believed their cases were serious"
The reason for DR.. Mucks inter-
ment was not disclosed by the wit
ness.
