VOTE TO Be TAKEN
ON RULE
Question of Confidence Due
to Come Up in Chamber
This Afternoon.
By tho Associa ted Press.

ROME. November 15.-The Chamber
of Deputies today continued its de-
bate on miscellaneous topics with
the expectation that vote on the
question OF confidence in the govern
ment would be reached before ad-
journment tonight. 1t was not known
this afternoon whether the vote
would be on the general policy of the
Fascist government or simply on the
governments foreign policy. If the
latter is the case, it is understood the
former combatant deputies who
hitherto have been sympathetic to the
Fascist although not formally
belonging to the party, will vote
favorably to the government but If
the question of domestic policy is in
cluded in the resolutions, the expec-
tation is that they will abstain from
voting and issue an explanation.
Former Premier Giolitti was quoted
today by the anti-Fascist Serene as
saying he intended to vote against
the ministry, declaring he was not
participant in the opposition but
that he was opposed to the govern
ment measures controlling the press
and the proposed revision Of the con-
stitution.
There was considerable comment in
political circles on conversation
which took place last night between
Giolitti and former Premier Orlando
predictions being made that Orlando
would follow Giolittis examnIr
Premier Mussolini was expected to
speak to the chamber Just before
the vote was taken.

Lakehurst, will come to Washington
within few days and instruct 4
ground force of about 500 Army and

GREECE is WARNED
AGAINST SERB POLICY
Jugoslavia Threatens Break If
Decentralization Is Not
Discontinued.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
VIENNA, November 15-Jugoslavia
has sent note to Greece, protesting
against the Standardization of the
Serbs in Greek Macedonia and threat
ening to break the alliance if the
Greeks continue this policy
This is an incident in the vast ex-
change of population in the Balkans
and Anatolia, entailing terrible suf-
fering and threatening to disturb the
peace.
The cases against, which Jugoslavia
protested have occNrred in Vodena,
Cumendje and Helerin.
The Greek method is to quarter the
immigrants from Anatola in Serbian
homes and to give the fields of the
Serbs to the immigrants, leaving the
Serbs themselves no alternative but
to leave.
The Greeks are treating the Bull
gars and the Turks in the same way
However, the policy of expulsion is
not peculiar to the Greeks as the
Serbs, Rumanians and Turks are act
ing in the same way toward the Bull
gars. But Bulgaria was made so
small by the recent treaty that it
cannot retaliate.
