ran IIkmo, April 21. Premier Nlttl
of Imly. ppcaklng to-day with refer
ence 10 that country' policy toward Ger
many, Austria and Jugoslavia ami also
upon the financial situation In .Italy,
rharRrcl that a campaign of falsehood
wast being conducted by unknown por
kuii against hH country.
rteferrlnir to the restoration ot econ
omic relations In Europe, Slgnor Nlttl
Mid:
"We must allow Germany to resume
her place In tho world. Europe
will never reacquire stability until Ger
man j -Hint great storehouse- of pro
ductive encrgy-and Hussln-that Im
mense warehouse of raw materials-are
once more placed In a position to pro
sreis and prosper. Tho whole effort
of Italy's policy Is dlrccied to this end
now
"There is only one European question.
Eurore must at nil costs avoid new
wars. Italy oocs not Intend to partic
ipate In new wars and, considers every
thing which is likely "to disturb peace
ts harmful."
"The dissemination of false news detri
mental to Italy Is an abominable thing."
Premier Nlttl said. "It Is a veritable
campaign of libellous falsehoods. By
whom li It promoted? Many telegrams
which claim to havo come from Italy
prne to have been sent from neighbor
ing countries by persons who have not
lied in Italy and who are acting in
the interests ot unknown parties.
"No country of the Uutopcan conti
nent is sounder than Italy. Tho ex
change Is absolutely unfair and does
tot in any way correspond to our real
mtuation. You will see In a few years
Thai r, ill be Italy's position In the
world.
Acted With DUIntereitednei.
"What Is happening to Italy Is really
odious. She fought and defeated a great
and powerful enemy, but her efforts have
pot been sufficiently appreciated. Yet
the acted with the greatest disinterest
edness. She Is the only cquntry In
Uurope which entered tlw war without
being bound to do so by treaties, and
jet people dare to talk about her 'ego
Ism.' After a hard fought war she has ac
quired neither colonies not territories
rich In minerals, but only small Italian
territories. Yet foreigners have the face
to talk about her 'Imperialism.1
"Italy now Is making a magnificent
effort at reconstruction. She is suffer
ing from unrest like every other country
emerging from the war. but she Is not
less strong than any other country. Yet
here, even In this connection, Is a cam
paign of falso news. We have overcome
far greater difficulties and we shall
overcome even these. But It is painful
to witness this campaign of falsehood.
Whence does it come'.' Do you think It
Is fair'
"Italian exchange is not merely the
result of tho economic situation but of
exaggerated anxiety abroad generated
by false news. I must not make any
comparisons; but what other country
has given such great proof of confi
dence in Itself'.' Our last loan In a few
days produced 20,000,000,000 lire. Is
this not proof of confider.cn and force?
Why Such Hostility f He Aka.
"Kven our commercial balance now Is
far more favorablo than It was last year
it the rate of about COO, 000, 000 a
month Why then do we find In the
markets of friendly and neutral States
such bitter hostility? We have em
plojed the most rigorous measures to
reduce home consumption, to limit Im
ports and Increase exports, and we have
introduced heavier taxation than any
other European country.
We count on our own resources alone,
but for this very reason Italy must not
be deprived of credit and we must be
enabled to obtain at least that minimum
of coal, Iron and raw materials Indis
pensable to us. There are strikes and
disorders In Italy, but are there less In
other countries? Have you not even In
the United States very serious strikes?
"These are consequences of tho war.
It is the nervousness which has spread
over all belligerent and even neutral
countries. We all are suffering In
Kurope, even America Is suffering, from
moral shellshock.
"Why have you Americans so many
strikes'' Independently of the moral un
rest due to the war, I believe these
labor troubles In every country' through
out the world must be explained as a
trltls In the search after a fair balance
between human capital and' technical
capital, leading to sounder and more
advantageous cooperation of the dlffer
int productive factors.
"Italy has overcome many difficulties;
the will overcome even this one. But
it fair that from friendly countries
not a friendly word should reach us? Do
jou think It fair that our Industry
would pay for Its coal twenty or thirty
times more than before the war, and
for its iron moro than fifteen times as
much? .o, that Is not fair. Italian
exchange must soon Improve. We havo
a rizht to this, for our financial policy
Is sound. Italy's stability ha"s nothing
to fear. We should at once find credit
for acquiring raw materials."
"We are passing through a dark hour
In Europe," Slgnor Nlttl continued, "but
Italy's policy Is leading toward the
light We do not wish to be a dominat
ing forre, but a great civilizing force,
and -bo count on the friendly coopera
tion of the people of the United States.
"The value of the lands which we are
"quiring represents but a small part of
ir puollc debt and this is our Im
rerlalisni But even with the Jugoslav
people I wish to come to an understand
tig and carry out toward them a policy
of loyalty and friendship. I desire to
s'ablish with this neighboring people
he closest economic and Intellectual re
lations. "Italy will And with the Jugoslav peo
ple a way to arrive at a. friendly and
neighborly understanding. Even for the
frontier question there will soon be a
solution and the world will appreciate
once more the spirit which prompts the
Italian policy."

and Premier Mlllerand being opposed to
Premier Nlttl's picas for recognition' of

proved Impossible for the Allies to
unite on a Russian policy.
Third, regarding Gcrmnny. the most
crucial question before the conference.
Great Britain and Italy have Informed
France that there Is no possibility of
them yielding to the French viewpoint
and that If France wants tho Entente
to continue she must give assurances
that Bhe will not repeat the Frankfort
incident.
GERMANY BEGS TO
.HAVE LARGER ARMY
Wants General Staff Re
tainedFrance to Resist.
PAttls. April 21 Germany has asked
the Interallied Conference at San Remo
to Inrreaso from 100,000 to iOO.OOO men
the standing army provided for Ger
many by the terms of the Treaty of
Versailles.
The request was contained In a note
handed to the French Foreign Oftlce
last evening with the demand that It bo
sent to the Supremo Council nt San
Remo.
The note set forth that an increased
force was necessary for the maintenance
of order In the Interior and that, fur
thermore, the nrmy would not aecept an
order for Its dissolution.
The note further requests that Ger
many be allowed to retain the entire
general staff and corps of officers, which
means tho entire framework of the
active army. It proposes that the forces
she bo permitted to maintain bo divided
as follows:
Twelve divisions of Infantry, with a
complement of nrtlllery; three divisions
of cavalry; five Bpeclal brigades, com
posed each of two regiments of Infantry
and two groups of artillery. The note
also asks for one battalion of heavy
artillery for each division of Infantry.
160 airplanes divided Into eight groups,
and four special companies ot troops for
railway work.
Two other German notes were handed
to he Foreign Office at the same time.
Tho first referred to the dlsbandment of
the civic guards, as demanded by the
Allies. Germany on April 19 presented
this note, announcing the decision to
disband the guards, to Gen. Nollet,
head of the nlllcd commission of control
In Berlin, and It has already been made
public.
The second note embodied requests
that the Kelchswehr force In the neutral
zone should be fixed according to the
number of men Instead of the number of
units, and that Germany be allowed to
have eleven batteries of artillery Instead
of two In the neutral zone.
In French official circles the German
requests are considered as merely one
more move In the systematic offensive
against tho Treaty ot Versailles. It was
pointed out In this connection that If
Germany were allowed to retain the
general staff and the corps of officers
the German army would differ from the
army of 1914 in nothing but the fa
cility with which the rank and file could
be mobilized, the framework being
always In readiness to bring the full
fighting strength ot the country to bear.
France, It was Indicated, will stoutly
resist any concessions affecting the
strength of the German army or the
framework of the organization as stipu
lated by the treaty.
WASHINGTON WOULD
GIVE GERMANS TIME
Says American Interests
Would Be Affected.
Washi.vgton", April 21 Suggestion
has been made to the allied Govern
ments by the State Department that
there be granted an extension to Ger
many of the agreement which expired
April 10 and which permitted tho pres
ence ot limited German forces In tho
neutral zone on the right bank of the
Rhine.
Tentative decision of the San Remo
conference yesterday to compel strict
enforcement of the Versailles treaty,
however, is Interpreted by officials hero
as Indicating that the Allies have not

deemed It "advisable to grant tile ex

cluded In responeo to a protest of Ger
many ngalnst provisions of the Ver
sailles' treaty prohibiting the retention
of an armed garrison in the neutral
rone opposite the occupied1 Rhine
bridgeheads. In tho midst of the Red
conflagration In tho Ruhr district Ger
many .asked an extension of three
months for tho withdrawal ot tho forces
In the neutral zono In a note addressed
to Premier Mlllerand as president of
the Peace Conference.
American Interests, It Is said In offi
cial circles here, would bo vitally nf

zone opposite the Coblenz bridgehead.
WILSON ACCEPTS
COUNCIL CHALLENGE
Sending of Johnson Inter
preted in Washington.
Rptrlal to Tnr. Sc ad Nkw Yok II nit aid.
Washington, April 21. Tho United
States Government, sees a challengo In
the proceedings of tho allied conference
at San Remo and has accepted It. This
Is the Interpretation placed heie on the
Instructions given Ambassador Robert
Johnson to talte part In the conference
an olllclnl observer. It had been
definitely understood yesterday that
such Instructions would not be given ex
cept In remote contingency.
President Wilson Is understood to
havo personally directed that tho In
structions be sent the American Am
bassador at Rome. The Information
from San Romo that Premier Lloyd
George had decided to go alienit v.-ltn
the settlement of European affairs with
out the participation of the United
States Is regarded here as a direct re
fusal to recognize thu position taken
by the President In the Near East and
In tho settlement or li.e Adriatic ques
tion. It Is difficult to see how the Presi
dent will enforce his significant diplo
matic gesture while the United States
remains outside of the pale ot the League
of Nations and will accept no responsi
bilities In the settlements to be made.
FULFIL TREATY IS
KOESTER'S POLICY
Only Way to Obtain Revision,
Says German Minister.
Berlin, April 21. Adolph ICoester,
the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, In
an Interview In Vorwaerts declared that
Germany must strictly fulfil the pro
visions of tho treaty of Versailles, for
In that way only could she obtain n re
vision of the treaty. Herr Koester
paid:
"Only the German Coalition Govern
ment la trusted nbror-d and the Entente
would not allow a dictatorship of the
proletariat here. Wo must to-day more
than ever havo tho trust of foreign
countries. Tills Is a necessary step to
revision of the peace treaty.
"I regard the treaty of Versailles as
a pact which we solemnly recognized by
our signature, and we must resist the
temptation to pursue a policy of pro
test, which would entirely fall In Its ob
ject. We must firmly resolve to fulfil
the treaty, and where our will Is faced
by unsurmountablo obstacles we must
try to avoid too frequent protests and
find a solution by frank discussion.
Only thus shall we attain our great
aim, namely, generous revision of the
treaty. Ore of my flrst tasks will be to
bring about evacuation of the River
Main districts as soon as possible.''
S3 BILLION MARKS
IN GERMAN BUDGET
Deficit of Three Billions in
Revenue Indicated.
Berlin. April 20. Expenditures of
40.000.000,000 marks, to which may be
added the railway and postal deficit of
12,900,000.000, arc provided for In the
budget for the fiscal year of 1320 which
was laid bctore the Budget Committee
of the National Assembly bv Dr. Wlrth,
Minister of the Treasury, to-day. The
ordinary budget showed revenues
amounting to 25,000,000,000. but ex
penditures totalled 2T,9.'0.000,000, st
there Is n deficit of 2,950,000,000.
In explaining his figures, Dr. Wlrth
said the deficit for the State railways
will reach a huge total, owing to new
demands by the men. Renewed de.
mands, he declared, unless accompanied
by additional revenues, would mean new
Issues of paper money.
ine .Minister contessed himself at a
loss to provide new sources of revenue
by taxation, unless It be by the creation
ot Slate monopolies. He also fore
shadowed tho consolidation of Ger
many's floating debt, which step, he
hoped, would be conducive to the grant
Ing of credits by foreign nations. Herr
Hoch, Socialist, said In his opinion,
heavier taxation on large fortunes was
Imperative.

the Instanco of Premier uoyu (..corge.
Tension between tho French and Brit
ish delegations on the subject of the de
mands upon Germany and tho enforce
ment of tho Versailles tieaty has been
considerable. The Fiench are declared
to feel deeply that they havo been the
greatest Buffercrs from Germany's omis
sion In fulfilling her treaty obligations,
that Germany's retention of war ma
terial obliges Franco to remain armed,
nnd that the reduction In coal deliveries
keeps an Important fraction of the
French Industries Idle.
They sav that Qermany during the
last nine months had Indicated clearly
to the French mind that sho Intends to
do nothing she cannot bo compelled to
do, and that unless the Allies sharply
warn her and prepare to follow up the
warning by forcible measures Germany
will default upon tho essential clauses
of the treaty, counting upon escaping
any further penalties or upon a revision
of the treaty greatly disadvantageous to
the French.
The Hrltlsh position Is that although
Germany has defaulted In Reveral ex
trAmali. Imnnrtnnt remects nnd that she
must bo required to fulfil her obliga
tions, she can bo mado to do so wunoui
further occupation of her territories and
by severe economic restrictions. The
British statesmen are understood to look

that leadership nmong the Allies is nc

SHEEP AS MONEY
A man's fortune was once
measured by the number of
pecus, or sheep, he possessed.
Later, the Romans used the
word pecunia, literally sheep,
to designate wealth.
Still later, the English wrote
concerning their pecuniary,
or financial, condition.
And even now, Americans
speak of the wealth of enjoy
ment found in the delicious
lamb stew served at CHILDS.
