Italian Hoodluns Attempt
To Steal Ballot Boxes
.By Associated Press,


ROME, June 3.-Hoodlums in
the Savoya district of Italy to-
day attempted to steal boxes that
contained ballots cast in yester-
days plebiscite to determine
whether or not the Italians wish
to continue the monarchial form
of government.
The gangsters seized the boxes
and began to run off with them,
but dropped them when the po-
lice opened fire. Three of the
hoodlums fell and two others
held up their hands. The others
succeeded in making good their
escape.
Only one precinct has thus far
reported. 1t is in the outskirts of
Milan, and gave large major
ity for the monarchist party.
Monarchists asserted that the
balloting went preponderingly
for them, but opposition party
leaders declared the result will
show the end of a royal gov
eminent in Italy.
1t was the first time women
voted, and they turned out in
large numbers at all the polls.
Some precincts reported that 100
per cent of the voters registered
cast ballots. The general average
throughout the country ranged
from 70 to 80 per cent.

What To Do With
Germany Key To
Peace OF World
By ]. M. ROBERTS. JR.
APP Newsfeotures Writer

FAILURE of lengthy negotia-
n tons to break down even the
lesser barriers to European peace
makes it appear more and more
strongly that, whatever the next
steps, little can be accomplished
until the great powers make up
their minds about what they want
TO do with Germany.
Devastated, eating from the
hand of charity, the Reich still
remains the disturbing center
around which beat the frothing
tides of other diSagreements.
Some official observers of the
London and Paris conferences are
now convinced that major OBJ
jective of Russian diplomacy is
to watch political de-
volopments in Europe, time to
judge whether she should sit tight
along her present lines of Gin
dividing Germany and
Europe down the middle, or
whether she should try for a
Germany, restored and whole,
which she might ultimately dom
mate.
Analysing Motives
In this at least one factor is
an apparent Russian fear that if
she does not control Germany
as a buffer, the British will.
Actually, it is probably nearer
the truth to figure that the Brit
ish. determined that Russia shall
accomplish no such purpose, are
yet under the illusion that they
could control a new Germany
themselves and therefore are fol-
lowing more nearly the Amer
lean line of preventing any resur-
FectiOn. Britain can be expected
TO use whatever holds are nee
essary to preserve herself, in
peace as in war, but it is hardly
likely that there will ever be a
revival of that portion. of 1885
political thought which enviS-
toned the resurgence of the Ger
man military as buffer tbe-
tween western Europe and Com
munism. Not even to prevent the
overflow of the tide of Commun-
ist-social democrat cooperation
from behind the Soviet demar-
cation line which General Nc
Narney recently described one
party rule or dictatorship in
Germany.
As a matter of fact, few of the
issues over which the powers
have divided so far appear worth
the candle. 1t may be that some
of them are being kept alive only
for their bargaining value,
Frances Stake
Typical of the issues which
depend for settlement on an es-
adjustment of policy with regard
10 Germany is the French pro-
posal regarding the Ruhr and
Rhineland.
II appears that France, while
proposing international control OF
the Ruhr, is playing again with
her 1919 idea of a buffer repub-
lie on the left bank of the Rhine,
an idea which was killed then
by British opposition.
While the French have been
rather vague in preliminary dis
cussions, the gist of their pro-
posals seems to be:
/. Political separation of the
industrial Ruhr from Germany,
with international control by the
countries most Immediately in
volved-France, Britain, Holland
and Belgium. This is politically
important because all the great
powers would have to agree, and
no one with ideas about control
ling a revived Germany would
do so. Washington and London
have not agreed, nor have they
disagreed. Diplomats in the two
capitals say Russian agreement
would depend on whether or not
il furthered her own interests.
