ITALIANS DISTURBED BY PARIS CRITICISM Paris, June 21.

Washington, June 23. So that war conditions may not be prolonged should the peace treaty fail of rat ification or its approval be greatly delayed, opponents of the League of Nations presented in the Senate today a proposal to declare a state of peace with Germany and Austria Hungary. The declaration was introduced toth as amendment to the pending army bill as a separate joint resolu tion by Senator Fall, of New Mex ico, Republican, member of the for eign relations committee. The am endment is expected to come up to morrow and should it fail the reso lution probably will be called for ac tion Wednesday. Both in his amendment and in his resolution, Senator Fall, proposes that the President be directed to secure the immediate return of all military and naval forces now abroad on duty connected with the war. In addition the amendment would pro vide that none of the money approp riated iby the army bill could be used for the maintenance of forces on foreign soil except as required by peace conditions. A joint reso lution similar to that presented by" Mr. Fall was introduced by Senator Rdge, Republican, of New Jersey. It was considered quite probable 4onight that the amendment would be rejected cn a point of order and that league opponents then would line up generally behind the Fall resolution. It would require action by both Senate and House, but whether the President's signature also would be necessary is a dispu ted question. A SUCCESSFUL COMMENCEMENT Chapel Hill, N. C, June 24.
