NEW GERMAN CABINET
 HAS BEEN SELECTED

Weimar Saturday, June 21.-(By A. P)-Germany acquire a new cabinet only after a week of literal sweating in blazing Weimar weather. The signing of the peace terms naturally was the only question around which the cabinet construction hinged, and the government which went on record as considering the terms unacceptable, found a surprising following behind them.
 The first party ballots. however, seemed to make the signing of the treaty inevitable. for the powerful majority socialist party voted two thirds for ending the suspense. With the Independents supporting them, the Conservatives as a party behind them, and the Centrists on the fence, the result appeared q foregone conclusion.
 But the Conservatives suddenly swung around and declared for non- signature; the Centrists wavered and SsSposed A1ditiocs, and the democrats

temporarily baked any hope of a ma jority by stubbornly persisting against the extradition by the entente, of the forr~er emperor and other German notables.
 This was the stumbling block for the democrats could not be budged from the attitude which they held through forlorn pride in the former war lord and the belief that a re- volution would break out in protst by the people should Won Hindenburg. Ludendorff and other idols also be i humiliated.
 Count Won Bernstorff, the former ambassador at Washington, played a prominent part in the proceedings. not only as president of the German peace | committee, but, according to persist | ent rumOr, the possible successor | of Count Von Brockdorff- RantZau, | head of the German peace deleeation. 1 for there was a powerful group that wanted him to suffer the poetic justice of signing the terms. after he had helped to bring the United States into : the war.
 : Won Bernstorff however, resisted and. after having been appointed in the morning to the cabinet headed by Herr Bauer. refused to accept the aD-
 
 the matter.
 Later in the day, the Centrists drop- ned their demand for modification of the terms and expressed their willing ness to sign. The democrats also weake"ed to such an extent that if teen of their sixty five members in the l a assembly went over to the side in favor of signature.
 ! The first ministry headed by Herr | Bauer lasted exactly one hour Ii crashed on the stubborness of the democrats and Won Bernstorff's f1a1 refusal to head the miistry of foreign affairs. Dr Dernburg who had beer named as minister of finance, de- clared he could not cooperate The democrats then reduced their demand. to one point, on which they were ad amant. namely that the former Ger man emperor, Won Hindenburg ant Indendorff must not be delivered tc the entente for trial.
 Eventually the Bauer cabinet wa! reconstructed, with Dr. Herman Muel- Ter. the majority socialist leader as n7inister~o foreign arairs. and Ma. thias Frzberger as minister of financ, and vice premier.
 In his first speech in the afternoo, Premier Bauer utlired his nrograns m tn the peace committee of the aSsen1 bly,. t was decided not to vote on tn question of peace. since tho cabine was distinctly a nnace cabinet, bu to submit the question 10 the assem blv Sunday for ratification !

 OF KNOX RESOLUTION

Washington, June 22-Senate lead CTS opposing the League of Nations abandoned today their plan to try for a te-t vote in the immediate future on the Knox resolution, and turned their attention to -erystallizing senti- ment behind EIihu Roots proposal that the league covenant be ratified with reservations.
 The decision was taken as a fore cast that the league fight would re- main in a quiescent state during the coming week and probably until the treaty is submitted for ratification about two weeks hence. There may be some debate on the subject and possibly an attempt to get action on a substitute for the Knox measure. but in the main opposition efforts seem certain from now on to center on the final ratification fight itself.
 ! Republican Leader Lodge. in a state ment tonight announcing the Knox resolution would not be called up to- morrow. said the decision had beer i prompted by a desire to give undi- i vided senate attention to pressing ap- l propriation bills.
