A situation has arisen in Italy that threat
ems to cOmplicate the work of the peace con-
ference. Premier Orlando has submitted the
resignation of his cabinet following adj
verse vote in the chamber of deputies on a
motion by the premier for a secret session
at which the foreign policy Of the kingdom
would be discussed The resignation has not
been accepted by King Emanuel as yet, how
ever, and it may be that Signor Orlando will
remain in office for the purpose of carrying
on the work Of the peace conference, in
which he has been one of the most promi-
nent figures
Should Premier Orlando quit office there
apparently would be a considerable delay in
the settlement of the Adriatic question. In
his address before the chamber prior to the
vote, the premier said that the situation
at present was grave and that Italy was fac
ing ''the most acute phase of the immense
questions arising from the war"
The Austrian contemporaries to the
terms Of peace are being completed by tbs
transmission of notes daily to the council
of four through the French mission. The
Austrian delegation has sert a fourth note
to the peace conference protesting against
the German-Austrian republic being made
the heir Of all the responsibilities of the
Austro-Hunga empire, OF which 1t was
but the smallest, poorest, most peaceful and
most liberal of state" 1t points out that
a the time war was declared, in 1914, the
foreign minister, his two collaborators and
almost all of Austria's ambassadors were Hun
garan, and maintas that the resp visibility
for the war is common to all the states form
ing the empire that has vanished" The note
expresses confidence that spirit of justice
of the conference will not let the whole bur-
den be thrown upon German Austria

Marvin De Lor, alleged safe

Detective Fritz Franks of Omaha,

when Detectives Franks and Ora

home, l7l5 Clark street, at 8 o'clock
the following morning, he shot his

approved in 80 per cent of the total
replies received.
The labor problem was dealt with
in three questions:
DO you favor or oppose legally
constituted national board for the
adjudication of labor disputes"
Are you in favor of legislation

trade unions"
do you favor or, oppose the re-

The vote on the first question
showed 81 per cent in favor of a
national ADJUDICATION board, but some
important qualifications were made.
The digest declares that the COM

ton with the present national war
labor board on the ground that it
has conceded too much to the labor
side.
The greatest unanimity shown on
any question was in regard to the
placing of statutory responsibility
on trade unions for their contracts
and the acts of their agents. Less
than one-half of one per cent of
the replies were negative.

"After all these years that suf-

Each act had merit and several won
unstinted applause.
THE Heart of Annie Wood" is
a musical allegory with poetic dia-
logue and little dancing to add to
the interest. Edna Pendleton, in
the title role, portrays country
girl who has to decide between 60
ing to the big city and raising the
dickens, or remaining in her coun-
try village and caring for the chick
ems. She chooses the latter course,
which proves that Annie was wise
little girl. The act is artistically
presented by a company of five
young people.
Bert Baker provoked continuous
laughter by his own one-act farce,
"Prevarication," in which riot Of
domestic entanglements are de-
veloped and cleared up.

CANVASS SHOWS
BUSINESS POOR
in II INDUSTRIES
Eleven Obstacles to General
Prosperity Enumerated by
Manufacturers in Replies
to QUESTIONABLE.

New York, April 13.--Only five
out of % principal industrial groups
throughout the country reported a
condition of general prosperity IN
replies to a questionnaire sent to
its 400 members by the National
Association of Manufacturers.
A digest of the replies, issued to-
day by the association, showed that
i6 out of the % groups into which
its membership was divided report
led business below SO per cent of
normal pre-war conditions. The
seventeenth, leather and leather
manufacturers, reported trade about
equally divided between fair and
good.
In response to request for sug-
gestions to help general prosperity
the replies enumerated a total OF ii
obstacles laying in the path of d re-
turn to normal conditions.
Obstacles to Trade.
Michael ]. Hickey, who prepared
the digest for the association, placed
the II in the following order of I'M
portance, estimated according to the
relative emphasis laid upon them by
the association members:
Q)-Delay in signing the treaty
of peace.
(2)-General high cost of labor
and material.
(O-Sudden cessation of war
buying operations by the United
States and foreign governments.
(4-Hand to mouth buying by
jobbers, retailers and consumers
awaiting expected price reductions,
(5)-Continued government con-
troll and management of railroads,
etc.
(6)-Sudden imposition of heavy
war revenue tax burdens on in
dustry.
6-Labor unrest, agitation and
industrial strife.
(8)-High prices of wheat due to
government guarantee.
(9)-Unemployment and poor
distribution of labor forces released
from naval or military service.
Q0)-Delay in settlement by fed
eral government of claims for pay
ment under informal war contracts.
QD-Partial shutting off of I'M
portant European markets, due to
import trade embargoes by Great
Britain, France and Italy.
What Is Needed.
The digest thus summarizes the
opinions of the association members
as to what is needed to promote
national prosperity and a return to
normal conditions:
stop war time extravaganza; re-
turn the railroads and the wires to
the owners; modify taxes on i'll
dustry; let the government bear the
losses on wheat-the foundation of
food prices; abolish war-period reg
ulating agencies; let increased pro-
duction justify high wages; have
the government pay its war bills;
inaugurate public works; educate
the public in the elements of eco
Monies"
The digest does not give a very
optimistic outlook in respect to i'm
proved business conditions for this
year. After remarking that the pro-
duction of iron and steel is univer-
sally regarded in business circles as
the most reliable trade barometer, it
says that the replies from this in
dustry show trade in state of conf
parative lethargy and prospects for
1919 not bright.
Oppose Government Ownership.
