ministry Resigns ; Deputies Bit-
terly Criticise Tentative
Union of Entente
, Powers.
t (By Associated Frees.)
Paris, Nov. 14. The ministry re
signed tonight. The resignation of
the ministry followed its defeat in
the chamber of deouties by a vote of
-'77 to 186.
After the government had obtained
a lestricted but sufficient majority on
l.'ie question of confidence in its mili
lary and diplomatic policy a deter
r.ilnf d attempt was made to brr-r on
a discussion of "current scandals, in
clud'ng the accusations of L'Actior
Francaise of a royalist plot and
against former Minister; of the In
terior Malvy, but Premier Painleve
e'emanded a postponement of the in
terpellations until November 30, when
the interallied conference would be
eiiflca.
Postponement was then made a
question of confidence and the cham
ber by a vote' of 277. to 186, "in which
the right joined the cabinet's oppon
ents, refused to acquiesce in the pre
mier's demand. Thereupon the minis
ters left the chamber and went to the
Elysee palace and resigned.
The interallied war committee was
under discussion in the1 Chamber of
Deputies.
After a heated discussion on various
interpellations, Premier Painleve put
the question, bluntly:
"Has the' present government the
confidence of the chamber? Has it
the necessary authority to represent
t . . ; it j
r ranee at tne coming auicu conicr
snce?" jf The government then received a
vote- of confidence bv a maioritv of
58, but about 100 members abstained
from voting.
M. .Painleve said that if a 'single
supreme command some day were
possible it would have the need of
precisely such an inter-allied staff as
now would be created by the superior
ar council.
I The premier said the British and
-Tench commander in chief, had come
:o an tarraflgemertt 46rrthe extension
of the British 'front at an eafly'date,
which it would be injudicious tp' men

MUSIC
Mr. Bush in Recital
Mr. Martin W. Bush, one of Oma
ha's leading musicians, was heard in a
most delightful piano recital last eve
ning at the First Baptist church. Re
citals by Mr. Bush are always a treat,
for he is a pianist of such splendid at
tainments and so well equipped from
a musical and technical standpoint
that lovers of the piano know they
will hear when he plays many things
to both interest and charm them. Mr.
Bush possesses a tremendous technic
and a wide range of dynamics, which
make it possible for him to play at
all times with the greatest of ease.
He interprets with musicianly taste
and clearness of conception and brings
his nunfbers before the listeners with
a finish and clarity making their en
joyment assured. His programs, too,
are always out of the ordinary, and
both the novelties, which abound, and
better known selections are chosen
and placed with regard to their most
pleasurable effect.
Mr. Bush rediscovered for his open
ing number the happy, pianistic So
nata in C major by Weber, which
flows . on with mellifluous charm
through a merry allegro, restful
adagio and a graceful minuetto to a
brilliant closing rondo. The lights and
shades of the different moods depict
ed in Schumann's "David's Bundler
tanze" gave Mr. Bush an opportunity
for some of his most musical worle'of
the evening. j
The novelties in the third group
were all of more than usual interest
and widely contrasted. The Dohnanyi
Rhapsody in F sharp minor with a
rich harmonic background for purling
runs was especially charming, and the
"Four Dutch Songs," arranged by
Josef Hofmann, could each have been
repeated with satisfaction to the audi
ence. Although short, thev are full
of quaint melody, combined with mod
ern harmonic structure and marked
by strong rhythm. For a clos
ing number Mr. Bush olaved a
valse caprice, "Nachfalter." ' bv
Strauss-Tausig, which is brilliant, mu
sical and of staggering technical diffi
culties. This he played with the same
unassuming nonchalance which
marked his playing of the smallest
number. and in soke of its demand
for power and brilliancy giving it the
same smoothness, and finish which
marks all his work. A Sgambati Min
uetto was another novelty given as
tne oniy encore. H. M. R.
EXPECT PEACE OFFER
AT ANY MOMENT
Teuton Thrust Merely Political
Drive, Believes Baker; Re
ports of Italian Defeat
Grossly Exaggerated.
; i
(By Ansoctated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 14 France's
confidence that the Teutonic drive in
to Italy has been stopped is expressed
in a war office statement cabled today
to the French embassy here.
"The Germans have exaggerated
the importance of the Italian defeat,"
Says the statement. "In rcatity the
Italian armies are far from being de
feated, i
"The second army only has seri
ously suffered.
The line of the Piave is solidly
held. The shortening of the front
will allow better means of resistance.
"The English and French armies
are in reserve behind.
"The morale of the army has been
strengthened and is becoming excell
ent. "The country at first strongly shak
en, is becoming more settled' as the
political parties are getting more
united."
Military men here believe, too,
that the Austro-Gcrnian thrust in
Italy has reached its crest and evi
dences of the use to which the Ger
man high command will attempt to
put its advantage are How watched
for with great interest. .
In his weekly war review, issued
today. Secretary Baker indicated his
opinion that the drive vas primarily
a political movement. This opinion
is shared by numerous American offi
cers and in some quarters it is be
lieved a peace oiler is expected to be
made at, any moment from German
sources. It is, suggested that it may
come in some indirect fashion, to be
disclaimed in Berlin if it brings no
results. .
Observers here fail to see that the
Teutonic offensive wity have secured
any important military objectives if
it is stopped where it is. A great
sweep ot Italian territory has been
occupied, but it contains little or noth
ing to ease the f6od shortage in Aus
tria and the effect upon the spirits
of the Austrian people is expected to
be short lived unless some more sub
stantial evidences of victory are forth
coming. .
The strain upon the Austrian Inies
has been increased as a result of the
drive. The new line must be held
at all costs in the lace of an Italian
toree that probablv will be brought to
a total strength of 2.000.000 men when
supplies and equipment for such an
army become available.
Supplv lines 'for the invader run
back into Austria through rugged
mountain passes, which it will be diffi
cult to keep fully open during the
winter months. Once the mass of
heavy artillery and supplies necessary
to tlie maintenance of the army has
been moved down to face the Italians
it would be impossible for a hasty
withdrawal to be made. For that rea
son, it is argued, the German and
Austrian staffs will be obliged to
maintain at any costs its force strong
enough to withstand any probable at
tack. Upholds Constitutionality
Of Federal Draft Law
Wilmington. Del., Nov. 14. Judge
Edward G. Bradford in the fleral dis
trict court today filed an opinion over
ruling (he demurrer filed in the case of
Donald Stephens, who failed to reg
ister in accordance with the draft law.
The defense claimed that the law was
unconstitutional, but the court up
held the constitutionality ofthe law.
