tions with America.
Rome, Monday June 23-"F'ransesco
Nitti, the new Italian premier. is ,un-
doubtedly statesman who s. most
friendly to America" said Guglielmo
Marconi today in speaking OF the new
cabinet.
It Is known that Signor Nitti wishes
to- establish close financial economic
and commercial relations with Ameri-
ca to bring about the resurrection OF
Italy from the consequences of the
war. He has the highest regard for
President Wilson, having been ac-
quainted with him as a Sellow educa-
tor as well as a politician. The two
were cordial when Nitti visited Amer
lea In 1917 as member OF, the Ital-
ian mission headed by the Prince OF
Udine.
Impartial political observers agree
that the downfall Of the Orlando min
fstry was due to Italy's disapproval of
the handling of the nations affairs at
the peace conference. When signor Or
lando returned from the conference in
April the Italian parliament signified
by a vote the country's attitude of in
sistance upon Italian claims, but after
six weeks more at the conference the
italian delegates completely failed in
their task.

Paris, June 24-Premier Clemenceau
president Of the peace conference, will
go to Versailles this morning to make
final arrangements for the signing OF
the treaty with Germany.
Plans for the ceremony attending
the signing Of the treaty were con-
sideyed, by the supreme council today.
1t is known that President Wilson ia
vors making it as simple asNis con-
sistApt with the nature Of the event
and the original plans for the conclu-
sion OF the Second peace of Versailles
have been materially nodided at HIS
suggestion.
The plenipotentaries will be seated
On raised dias in the center Of the
vast hall Of mirrors in the chateau of
Versailles upon which will be installed
the table upon which the treaty will
be signed. The program does not
contemplate any set addresses but II
Is believed possible that both Premier
Clemenceau and the leading German
delegate MAY make short speeches.
The delegations will come to the
table when called upon by Secretary
Paul Dutasta to affix their signatures
opposite the seals which will, prior to
the event, be fixed to the instrument,
clsmenceau to Retire.
Premier Clemenceau has expressed
his intention to resign from Office as
soon as the treaty is promulgated, feel
ing he had accomplished the task for
which he assumed the premiership,
says Marcel Hutin in the Echo de
Paris. It is expected that, parliament
would ratify the treaty late in, July.
The council Of three has referred the
question relative to the sinking OF the
German feet in .Scapa Flow to a COM
mission OF experts which will deter
mine whether the armistice conditions
were violated.
Gsmsn Delegation MOI, Named.
No word has been received from
Weimar relative to the new German
plenipotentiaries at Versailles. The
date Of the ceremony Of signing the
treaty has not as vet been fixed but
the belief Is gaining ground that it
will occur Thursday or possibly Friday.
Work on the Austrian peace treaty
was resumed by the council Of three
sstaaa;s.;yr. ~ IKE completion Of the docII-
ment to be presented is desired as
speedily as possible and work on it is
expected to be pushed energeticalfy. In
this process financial experts were
called before the council at today's
session.
