ROME, June 21. King Victor Emmanuel has requested Francesco Kitti, former minister of tlio treasury, treas-ury, to form a cabinet, the Giornale d 'Italia announces semi-officiHlly. Former Premier Tittoni will be for- ! eign minister, it is added. . (By Universal Staff Correspondent.) PARIS, June 21. "The president is i unalterably opposed to changing the j ultimatum. Unless the Germans accept the treaty, the president will insist that the armistice be ended Monday night and hostilities resumed on Tuesday. Tues-day. Should the Germans announce their readiness to sign and point out that they are physically unable to replace re-place von Brockdorf f-Rantzau, then the president will consent to wait the actual time necessary for a new peace delegation to reach Versailles.'' This was the announcement made tonight to-night by the American pence commission commis-sion in reply to rumors that an extension exten-sion of time had been granted to the Germans in order that they might form a new cabinet and appoint another peace delegation. Reports that the cabinet changes reported re-ported from Weimar were merely part of a scheme to gain t hue have caused much bitterness, especially among tho French and American delegates. It is expected, of course, that the Germans will resist to f he last, but it is insisted , that if this philandering is carried beyond be-yond Monday night the allied armies will advance, and the navies will enforce en-force the blockade.
