Great Britain, France and ,ne United States are re ported from Paris to have sent a joint note to Italy, asking for an explanation of the land ing of Italian forces in Turkey. Premier Orlando answered the note, and it is reported there vas a personal clash between him and Premier Venizelos of Greece which resulted in the latter withdrawing from the meeting of the Council. Allies Try to Pacify Smyrna The difficulty apparently is over the landing of independent Italian forces in the vilayet of Smyrna, which the Allies are trying jointly to pacify with a view to a mandate to Greece for its administration. The conclusion of peace between the Allied and associated govern ments and Germany has been re moved further into the future by the action of the Peace Conference yes terday in extending until May 29 the date for the Germans to submit their answers to the Treaty of Peace sub mitted on May 7. According to estimates at Paris, there was some expectation that the pact might be signed about June 15, but it now appears that the date of the signature of the document will be a week or more later. Plan Exhaustive Replies Apparently the Germans contem plate very voluminous replies to some of the terms presented by the Peace Conference. Count von Rroekdorff-Rantzau, chief of thel German delegation, has asked for j permission to bring a printing press j from Germany to Versailles, with printers, to print the objections that will be made by the enemy govern ment. Will Seek Joint Commission It is apparent from forecasts in the German press that one of the principal points of the German reply to the peace terms will be a proposal to institute, a joint committee of rep resentatives of both sides with a neutral president to decide the eco nomic questions. The Germans also will ask the appointment of a simi lar committee to determine the dam age done in Belgium and France. The German reply, it is under stood, will protest against the treaty not tuking into consideration the damage done in Germany. It will he urged that Austria-Hungary, hav ing been an ally of Germany, should be held in the same responsibility as Germany. It appears the treaty between the Allies and Austria may not be pre sented as soon as expected. Italy is reported not to be satistied with the boundaries fixed between Italy and Jugo-Slavia, and this matter must be adjusted before the terms are laid down. Will Punish Guilty Minis The Council of Four has delivered its reply to the German note on prisoners of war. The reply indi cates that the Allies differentiate be tween ordinary prisoners and those guilty of crime, and that the latter will be held and punished. Seek to (Juict People The seven days granted the Ger mans before the time limit for the submission of replies to the Allied peace terms expires will not be de voted exclusively to the drafting of notes at Versailles, but will be em ployed at Berlin for the purpose of quieting agitation there according to newspapers here. It is pointed out that there is an influential party in Germany, made up of independent, and majority Socialists, which favors the signing of the Treaty. Rankers, manufacturers and busi ness men generally as well as the military authorities are said to share this view, believing it is declared that unything is preferable to Bol shevism. Powers Seek to Know Mind of Italy as to Landing of Soldiers Paris, May 22.—1t has been learn ed in trustworthy quarters that the United States, Great Britain and France have united in sending a note to Italy requesting an explanation of the landing of Italian forces in Turkey. Premier Orlando is said to have made a reply to ihe Council of Fcur after a sharp personal incident dur ing which he objected to the pres ence of Premier Venizel'os of Greece. The latter retired from the meeting. The Italians landed forces at Ad alia, Budrum and Makri during the period when Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino hud with drawn from the Peace Conference, making the landings without notice to the Allies. The Council of Four of the Peace Conference this morning considered the question regarding thorSarre val ley, raised by a recent German note, on this subject. This afternoon the Council will take up the subject of reparations. Berlin, May 22.—The Greater rj or . lin soldiers and workers c-u-c i to day adopted a resolution demanding that the Peace Treaty be signed and appealing to the protciariat of the Allied countries.

Coblenz, May 22. —Lieut. General Hunter Liggett, commander of the Army of Occupation, and Major Gen eral John Hines, commander of the Third Corps, who were on their way to London, yesterday were recalled to Coblenz by orders from American general headquarters. Motor Trucks Move- Nine hundred motor trucks began to move Tuesday midnight front west of the Rhine to the bridgehead area. The trucks are being distri buted to various points of advantage among the troops holding the zone east of the Rhine should the occasion arise for the Americans to start an advance. The recall of Generals Liggett and Hines, it was learned in Coblenz, is part of the new program for the American Army if the Germans do not accept the Treaty. Army Being Held The composite regiment of the Third Army, which was organized for participation in the empire fes tivities in London, in which Gen erals Liggett and Hines were also to take part, is being held in Coblenz because of the new turn in the peaee situation. The regiment may be sent to London and Brussels as intended if the Peace Treaty is signed within the next few weeks. The movement of the motor trucks continued throughout Wed nesday and most of Wednesday night. Because of increased indications of friction between German civilians and soldiers throughout the Amer ican area, pf occupation, American officers 10-day warned the burgo masters and other German officials that they would be held responsible for any violence of any attempts at destruction of American Army prop erty. The American officers ordered the German officials lo caution the ci vilians through the newspapers and otherwise that any resentment dis played by civilians toward the sol deirs would not be tolerated and that serious results might follow if the Germans should persist in the attitude exhibited recently in various parts of the area of occupation.

Here s a Chance to Find Soldier Minus War Cross if there he any modern Sherlock Holmes in Harrisburg, he may bo interested in turning his talent to the solution of a mystery which de veloped yesterday. All hands who have attempted to find an answer to the problem have failed signally. A certain family uptown left home early in the afternoon with all the doors locked, windows closed, and the faithful cook in the kitchen preparing the evening repast. A 3 o'clock the house was closed. At 5 two hours later, the family returned and discovered lying on a desk in the living room, u French croix de guerre, of the ordinary or garden variety. ■ The medal had apparently been worn by a returned soldier, but it has been established that no one entered the house between thos" hours and every individual within disclaims ac knowledge of the mysterious decora tion. The croix de guerre has been turned over to the Telegraph for the time being and any claimants for the lost article may prove their claims by a visit to the business office of this newspaper.

ONLY EVENING ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWSPAPER IN HAHItISBI'RG DR. KALBFUS WANTS TO SEE THE WOLVES FARMER SHOT State Game Commission Can't Understand How It's Possi ble When There Are None Alive Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, head of the- State Game Commission, sat in his office at the Franklin Building to day utterly unperturbed by the news from Greensburg, Pa., that Harvey Dixon, a farmer, had run into a pack of wolves which were headed this way, and that he shot one. The alarming news also mentioned that another farmer nearby came close up on three of the demons, and only by desperate and immediate help from his neighbors was saved from being chewed up. "If that farmer sends me the car cass of this alleged wolf," spoke Dr. Kalbfus with some spirit, "I will have it tested, but you can bo sure he shot no wolf, if the announce ment of President Wilson that beer and wine are coming back has this effect, certainly the Game Commis sion is not responsible. "But Greensburg and the rest of the State need fear no outbreak of wolves. "What these farmers saw, no doubt were wild dogs. The wolf has been extinct since 1860.
