Paris, June 19.?Marshal Foch ia orniing one front against the Geraans from (he Rhine to the Danube, ,'Intransigeant says it is Informed, 'he allied commander in chief, It Is dded, will henceforth extend his ommand over the Czecho-Slovak, tumania and Polish armies. Coblenz, June 19.?The concenration of American, British, French nd Belgian troops, begun by order f Marshal Foch, preparatory to adancing further into Germany, will u completed Saturday, when sevral hundred thousand allied soldiers ill stand ready to march toward lerlin if the Germans do not sign he peace terms. Artillery and great trucks carryrig various kinds of war material are eing moved across the Rhine at lologne. Coblenz, Mayence and othr bridge points within the occupied rea. On the left bank of the Rhine the hird and fourth divisions, comleted minor details for advancing if he word comes to go ahead. The fourth division, which had een ordered home several weeks go and had turned in all of its quipment, is being re-equipped for lossible action. As an addition to the uncertainty revaillng with regard to whether lermany will sign the peace treaty, las come a crisis in the Italian govrnment to perplex the peace confernce. Failing to secure a voie of eouidence in the chamber of deputies in tome on a demand by Premier Orando that the chamber in secret seedon listen to the government's exilanations of the foreign policy, the talian cabinet has followed preeelent in parliamentary affairs and reigned. This action probably will still furher complicate the work of the leace conference, especially in itrnightening out the tangle that ong has existed as regards Italy's lnims to Fiume and the Delnietian oastal region. The vote of lack of confidence In he government was an overwhelning one, being 259 to 70. Prior to he vote the premier in a statement o the chamber had announced that he various economic and financial inestions concerning Italy had been tolved, or were about to be solved. While the members of the German icace delegation are still reported inofficially as violently opposed to . rsu.il* vn^T Iiruij ami Ilie greater >art of the Gorman cabinet to be of iimilar mind, latest indications are hat the general feeling in Germany s tending toward recognition of the act that the allied demands must ?e met. American peace conference circles n Paris have received indications hat to meet the requirements of the illies there must come a change in he personnel of the recalcitrant Jerman leaders and that a request or a short extension of time from donday, when the time limit for lermanv to answer expires, may be skod in order that a plebiscite in Sermany can he held to determine he consensus of opinion of tho nasses. These indications, however, eemlngly point toward the belief hat the Germans, in any eventuality, .'ill sign. Meanwhile Marshal Foch contin <"- hH preparations to meet any ontingoncv that may arise. Tho onrentration of allied troops alone lie Rhine will bo complete Saturay. in readiness to invade Germany further in case the Germans retain obdurate up to the time of the xpiration of the time limit. Foch Iso is reported to have extended his ine to the Danube, so as to be able i> operate from that region against lermany should necessity require it.
