CABINET SITUATION
IS'STILL UNSETTLED
Doubt as to Whether Success
sOr to Herr Scheidemann
Has Been Selected-Nitti
Reported to Have Been
Asked to Make up Italian
Cabinet to Succeed that of
Premier Orlando
Associated Press }

While the trend Of German sentiment
is declared in advices reaching the peace
conference to be continuing strongly i'll
favor of signing the peace treaty it is
becming apparent that the Germans do
not intend to make their attitude official
ly known without an effort to obtain
notifications in the terms.
IN the first place they have asked the
peace conferces if the terms of Premier
Clemenceaus covering note as regards rep
hrations and other phases of the treaty
may be considered as part of the docu-
ment itself and binding upon all parties.
The German cabinet situation is still
a mixed one. 1t is definitely known that
the Scheidemann cabinet has resigned
Whether a successor to Herr Scheide-
mann has been chosen as yet seems doubt
full although the American delegation in
Paris has received a report that Herr
Mueller, Majority Socialist leader, had
been selected.
A Berlin despatch dated late Friday
however, declared that the government
at that hour announced itself unable t.
pick a new cabinet and had decided t.
postpone the attempt for 4S hours The
advices seemed to indicate that President
Ebert win retain Office at least for the
time being.

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
BY EPISCOPA ALIANS
st. Michael's VestTy Appoints Commit
tee TO Aid in Campaign to Raise
$4,000 in Diocese.

At a special meeting of the veStry of
St. Michael S Episcopal church in the
parish hall last evening a committee
was appointed and plans discussed in
relation to the campaign about to be
launched in the diocese for the purpose
of raising $4,000, which is urgently
needed to incorporate with the trust
funds already in existence. The income
from the present funds is inadequate
for the purpose for which it is intended
and the lack of funds prevents the work
of the church from beng enlarged.
With the increased income received
from the above e-mentioned sum it is
proposed to raise the stipcnds of the
priests in the diocese, many of whom
are not receiving a livable salary. The
diocese also is in need of more priests
to care for number of parishes which
at present cannot be provided for.
A meeting recently was held III
Burlington, when committee Of 20
consisting of 10 laymen, five women anG
five clergymen of the diocese, made
plans for carrying out the campaign
| Windham and Windsor counties arc ex
pected to raise 100000 the state being
divided into five sections. St. Mi
chael's vestry appointed committee ot
| five to begin action in this section a:
soon as possible. 1t was the unanimou:
opinion of the vestry that the call il
urgent and that the object for which
the money is to be raised is indeed ;
worthy one.
Right Rev Arthur c. A. Hall, D. D.
bishop of the diocese, will be in Brat
tIeboro tomorrow and will occupy tn,
pulpit at the morning service in st. Mi
chael S, at which time he is expected t,

for the success of the project.

NEW YORK HIT BY STORM
Nearly an Inch of Rain Fell in Half an
Hour.

NEW YORK, June 2l-The sun was
hidden as never before in local meteoro-
logical history yesterday afternoon when
a storm roared across the Hudson and
spilled nearly an inch of water on the
city in less than half an hour. In some
sections the wind was almost of hurri-
cane force and in others it reached We
locity OF As miles, which was the official
record on the top of the Whitehall build
ing
In The Bronx the velocity of the wind
and the downpour of rain caused many
streams, some of which went into the
subways, crippling the service several
hours in some places Sewers could not
carry off the sudden accumulation of wat
er fast enough and the slots of electric
lines on all thoroughfares were flooded
! Cars were stalled nearly an hour. Taxi
cabs did big business for a time.
