Artillery and great trucks carryrig
various kinds of war material are

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

>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

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,
