DOWNFALL OF NITTI.

(washington Herald-Public Ledger
Service. Special Cable Dispatch.D
BY wYTHE WILLIAMS,

Paris, June 10.-Advices from
Rome following the resignation of
the Italian cabinet indicates that
Italian parliamentarians now ex-
pect nothing but the return of
former Premier Giolitti to power.
In such an event they believe he
will Immediately dissolve the cham
Der and engage in an energetic fight
against the Socialists. Many of the
Italian deputies consider this the
only method by which the political
situation can be cleared and believe
Giolitti is the only man sufficiently
strong to accomplish it. Despite his
Germanophile tendencies before the
war, 1t Is pointed out in Rome that
Giolitti gave ample proof of his
patriotism during the conflict so that
his return to power should not cause
undue alarm to France or the en-
tente.

The Presidential pocket Veto"
which tradition has held acts auto
matically to kill legislation upon
which the President fails to act be-

has been ruled invalid by Mitchell

At the request of the White

informal opinion yesterday de-
cided that the President has ten
days in which to act after bill
is presented to him. whether or not
Congress remains in session.

Secretary Payne is known to have

on the subject of the bill, which the
President did not have time to

House from the Capitol.
Whether political considerations
have entered into the situation and
brought about today's DEVELOPMENTS,
was not entirely clear. but it is
known generally that the failure of
the water power bill has caused a

Apparently the opinion of the At
