Nitti Attacked in Chamber


ROME, July II (By The Associated d
Press).-Francesco Nitti, the Premier
was vehemently attacked in the Cham
ber of Deputies to-day by Deputy
Codacci Among other accu-
sations brought forward by the Dep
uty in an attempt to demonstrate the
unpopularity Of Premier Nitti with the
Allies was one to the effect that an
Allied ambassador had protested d
against the attitude cf Premier Nitti
when the latter went to America as a
member of the Italian mission.
Deputy Codacci-Pisanelli also de-
clarcd that an interview given by the
Premier to The Associated Press had
been stopped by the censorship.
Premier Nitti protested Indignantly
against the first assertion, saying that
the author of the report was "a liar
Regarding the interview, he said it was
true that at the beginning of October
last he had given an interview to The
Associated Press, in which he expressed
anxiety because Italy had the entire
Austrian army against her. In this
interview, Premier Nitti asserted. he
urged the dispatch OF American sol.
diers to the Italian front.
Why He Suppressed Interview
"Was this anti-patriotic ?" asked the
Premier amid the appreciation of the
Chamber. He added: "The interview
displeased one ally. l was asked to
to have the interview not published
to which agreed after having been
assured my reasons for it had been
recognized"
Tomasso Tittoni, Minister of FOREIGN
Affairs, was loudly applauded when he
announced to the Chamber of Deputies
that it was his belief the negotiations
going on in Paris would lead to a settle
ment in the course of the next week. He
hoped at that time, he said, to tell the
country everything.
The question of Asia Minor, said
Tittoni. had to be reserved until Presl-
dent Wilson consulted the American peo-
pie, but the Adriatic, colonial and eco
nomic questions would be settled. They
had arrived at a point, he said, where {,
decision was absolutely nevessary and
every delay Was dangerous.

Appointment as Ambassa-
dor to Washington Is
Generally Approved by
the British Newspapers
All Admit His Fitness
Hint Expressed That Task
Might Be Easier If Irish
Question Were Adjusted

LONDON, Aug. 14.--Viscount Grey.
former Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, will 60 to the United States to
assume his post as temporary Ambas-
sador. probably early in September. He
Will be accompanied by Sir William G.
Tyrrell.
A large staff also will go with the
Ambassador to take routine affairs out
of his hands, thus permitting Lord
Grey to devote his time to larger ques-
tions. Viscount Grey. whose health
some time ago was a subject of
concern, now is enjoying excellent
health.
Sir William Tyrrell was private. sec
retary to Viscount Grey for eight
years, retiring in 1915. He went to the
United States in the fall of 1913 to
discuss the Mexican situation with the
American government.
Approval Not Unanimous
Viscount Grey's acceptance of the
Ambassa dorship is given warm ap-
proval by the press here, which eulo-
gizes his public services and, for the
most part, regards his appointment as
excellent. There is, however, criticism
IN some quarters, not on the ground Of
Vlscount Grey's fitness or his accept
ability to America, but because of the
extraordinary responsibilities attach
ing to the post at this moment. Doubt
is expressed whether the naming of a
temporary Ambassador is suitable for
this reason.
THE Daily News" scores the govern
ment for making an emergency ap-
statesman who for more than two years
has been out of touch with active po-
litical life is, to say the least, singu-
lar proceeding"
The newspaper, which is an admirer
of Viscount Grey, says his task will
be singularly delicate, his power being
at best limited.
Firm Policy Demanded
THE Post" which is an opponent of
Viscount Grey politically, nevertheless
assumes that America will regard his
appointment as compliment, as he is
q notable Englishman, but it hopes
that "Viscount Grey will not forget
Americans respect a man who stands
firmly upon the rights and interests Of
mo O"I ldtlOH. III tne past Cnor6 mas
been week tradition of surrender at
Washington, due mainly to the pusil-
luminous and unmanly policy of tho
government at home"
In most of the editorials Viscount
Grey's sympathy with the league Of
nations is dwelt upon, although "Ths
Telegraph" remarks he has not re-
vealed whether he champions the par
tlcular form of the league incorporated
in the peace treaty.
"The Chronicle" regards it as par
ticularly fortunate that he is going to
America now, saying: "For, with his
rare tact and knowledge, he will be
especially qualified to take counsel,
both with President Wilson and those
who are not satisfied with all the terms
of the league of nations covenant"
AS regards the league "The Daily
News" materially tempers it's other
wise adverse criticism by saying that
Great Britain could have no better rep
resentative than Viscount Grey.

More Churches Join
World Meeting on
Faith and Order
COmmunions on Three Con-
tinents Added to Those
Accepting Invitations;
Pope Called Benevolent

BOSTON, Aug. 14-Acceptance by
many church communions in Europe,
Asia Minor and Africa of invitations to
participate in the proposed world con-
ference on faith and order was an
nounced tonight in the report of the
deputation appointed by the World
Conference Commission to visit Eu-
rope and the Near East.
In commenting on the refusal of the
Pope to appoint delegates to the con-
ference, as previously cabled to this
country, on the ground that world
church unity should be achieved by
other churches returning to the Cath
oNc Church, the report says:
THE Pope received US most cordial
ly. The contrast between his personal
attitude toward us and his official atti-
tude toward the conference was very
sharp. One was irresistibly benevo-
lent, the other irresistibly rigid. His
Holiness himself emphasized the dis
tincton."
Among the bodies accepting the in
vitation extended by the deputation
were the governing synod of the Greek
Church, the orthodox church synods
OF Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania, Serbia,
Egypt, Abyssina and Palestine, the
Church of Sweden and the Church of
Norway. The Church of England pre-
viously agreed to- participate in tha
conference.
The members of the deputaton rec
ommend that preliminary meeting
for organizing and arranging for the
conference be held at The Hague after
opportunity to appoint representatives
has been given to the churches. of Rus
Sla and GERMANY and other countries
which have not yet been approached.
Among the American churches which
will send delegates are the Protestant
Episcopal, Baptist, Congregational,
Methodist, Presbyterian, Friends and
Moravian

Drama a
SsThose Who Walk in Dark.
ness" Seen at Forty.eighth
Street Theatre
By Haywood Broun

"Those Who Walk In Darkness" is
an echo of the supposedly extinct
white slave school of drama. 1t may
be remembered that plays Of this type
nourished few seasons ago and then
declined through sheer weight of num-
bers. 1t might be said that too many
cooks spoiled the brothel. 1t cannot
be said, however, that Owen Davis is
aided much by the fact that the type
cheap and tawdry, although it is filled
with many full blown sentiment
One good dramatic gesture the play
possesses. The heroine, who has lived
a life Of shame and is trying to atone
tor her past by being faithful wife
to good man, is threatened with ex-
posure by former associate. She
meets the threat by replying that he
shall have no opportunity to tell about
her past. because she will make public
confession herself. This is good
handled it adroitiy. Little of the tech
nical skill which he has displayed in
some Of his other plays is evident.
"Those Who Walk in Darkness" is
singularly jerky. Again and again an
act will seem to reach a climax; pause; ;
puff little; and then begin again.
AT best Owen Davis is not noted for
his achievements in the field of sim
cerity, and his present play is more
artificial than usual. Although the
opportunities for distinguished acting
are not abundant, at least two of the
performances were of a high order.
Helen Tracy was able to make the
keeper of the questionable boarding
house a forceful and forbidding figure.
Arthur Shaw, on the other hand, was
quite unconvincing in his villainous
moments, but very effective in his COM
edy scenes. Godfrey Matthews did
we'll in a small part, and Consucla
Bailey is as effective an ingenue as
ever. Others in the cast are Howard
Kyle, Laura Walker and Donald Gal
