Italian foreign minister and one of tne paactfleates reeantly in Pans, of the withdrawal of the Jtalia delegation from the conference and 4ts return to Italy. A translation of the cablegram follows: "Following the publication In today's papers of the message of President W iion w-hile private conversations be tween the allied delegates were In progress In an effort to reach an un derstanding on Italian territorial ques tions, the Italian delegation found it Impossible to continue taking part the work of the conference and leaves Paris. SON NINO." Consul Ferrera. while deeply recret ting the necessity of Italian with drawal, is confident that the incident will not cause a rupture In the diplo matic relations between the I'nttcd Mtatrs nnd the rtal Italian govern wtnt. He Is confident, however, that Jtaly will not yield Flume. "If our statesmen should make the mistake of yielding Fiume and Italian llratlon toward the Dalmation coast as outlined in President Wilson's state ment, the people of Italy would rise in revolt, said Mr. Ferrera. "I look upon President Wilson's statement as the expression of the per ional opinion and not the expression of national sentiment in this i-ountrv Italians in the t'nited State are united In their admiration of Mr. Wilson. We certainly question neither hia honesty nor his integrity, and we are suro that he Is deeply convinced he Is right, but we believe he Is mistaken, and our gov ernment, backed by the great mass of the Italian people, believes the same. way."

Thus the peace conference commis sion on responsibility for the war has solved its most weighty problem. Tha state department's announcement of the solution was received here gener ally with surprise because it was known that Secretary Lansing, chair man of the commission, had steadfastly opposed any attempt to bring the former kaiser before an international tribunal. Secretary Lansing contended there was no law by which such an offender could be reached by the con ference and that it would be contrary to the constitution of the United States for the American delegates to participate in the execution of a sort of international ex-post-factor law. Indictment Bane Changed. At that time, however, it was pro posed to charge criminal and military offenses, and it was suggested today that thu decision to base the indict ment upon violation of international morality and sanctity of treaties was taken to meet the American viewpoint. the covenant by a majority of the states composing the assembly, instead of three-fourths of the states, though it does not change the requirement in that matter with regard to the vote in the council.

It permits any member of the league to dissent from amendment, the effect of such dissent being withdrawal from the league.

These are all the changes. believe, which are of moment. "Mr. President: I take the opportu nity to move the following resolutions in order to carry out the provisions of the covenant. You will notice that the covenant provides that the first secretary-general shall be chosen by this conference. It also provides that the first choice of the four member states who are to be added to the five great powers on the council is left to this conference. Wilson Moves Nomination. "I n.ove. therefore, that the first sec retary-general of the council shall be the Hon. Sir James Eric Drummond, and. second, that until such time as the assembly shall have selected the first four members of the league to be repre sented on .he council in accordance with article 4 of the covenant, repre sentatives of p.elgtutn.

J. Balfour, the British foreign secretary, since December, 1916. Previously he had served Sir Edward (now viscount) Grey in the same ca pacity while Sir Edward was foreign secretary. From March, 1912, to June, 1915, he was private secretary to Her bert H. Asqulth, then the British pre mier. Sir Eric was born on August 17, 1876, a son of the eighth viscount Strathal lan, and is a half-brother of and heir presumptive to the Earl of Perth. He became a clerk in the foreign office in 1900, and from 1906 to 1908 was pri vate secretary to Lord Fitzmaurice, parliamentary under secretary of state for foreign affairs, and continued under various under secretaries until 1912, when he became private secretary to Premier Asquith. Sir Eric accompanied Foreign Minis ter Balfour to the United States In 1917 as a member of the British high commission. In 1904 Sir Eric was married to Angela Mary, youngest daughter of the eleventh Baron Herries. They have two daughters and one son.

The rapid rise of Miss Mabel Garrison as an operatic and concert artist to distinction both as an interpreter of grand opera rolea and in the realm of song, will stand aa one of the recent marvels of America.

Miss Garrison Is endowed with Intel- licence and an irresistible charm that wins her audience in a minute.

These call for the trial of the former German emperor by an international tribunal consisting of five Judges, on a charge of "a su preme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treaties," and for the trial by military court of German officers who may be accused of having violated the laws' and cus toms of war.
