BY EDWARD w. PIcKARo.

The allied peace delegates at Paris
were occupied last week mainly In pre-
pairing to hand out to Austria what is
coming to her, and in listening to the
walls, official and unofficial, of the
Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria's delegates, headed by Chan
cellor Karl Renner, were received and
housed at St. Ge-main They were
treated with good deal more cordial
fly than were the Germans at Yer
sailles, and were given quarters in
pleasant villas that overlook the Seine
valley and Paris, with no high fences
or sentries TO restrict their move
ments. In return, the Austrians APP
peared in good humor and hopeful of
lenient treatment, and seemed to APP
preciate the good nature displayed by
the cosmopolitan crowd Of journalists
and others that met them. Chancel-
Tor Renner spoke in German but ex-
planned that this was because he was
unable to speak French, his courtesy
in this contrasting with the behavior
of Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau at
Versailles. In responding to the
greetings of the allies representatives
he said: II hope / may go away with
as joyful heart as bring" Other
members of the delegation intimated,
none too strongly, that they would not
be able to sign the treaty unless 1t
provided for the union Of German Bo-
hernia and German Tyrol with Ger
many. 1t is assumed they will accept
the pact even If that annexation Is
not permitted.

The plans for the trial and punish.
ment of the former kaiser are not
going smoothly. They contemplate
the assumption Of the role of COM
plainant by some one of the allied ma
lions, and II was presumed Belgium
would so act. But Belgium, perhaps
because II is a kingdom, declines, and
no other has yet volunteered. Hol-
land has not decided to surrender Will

One of the most seriously taken of
the German objections was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with IL was sent draft of an
international agreement on labor law.
To this the allies replied at length,
showing that the treaty fully covered
all the points raised and that It's pro-
visions were more satisfactory than
those in the German proposition,
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are "of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegate
processes for social justice and insure
the realization OF reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
right to expect after the cruel trial
TO which the world has been subjected
during the last five years"
Yet another German note dealt with
the economic aspect Of the peace
terms, declaring that If enforced they
would bring death to 'many millions
Of people in Germany, all the more
quickly as the nations health Is al
ready broken by the blockade"

While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann and others We're
inflaming the German people with vio-
lent denunciations of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit to It, All of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment of the
fourteen points by the allies, and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
traitor to mankind and weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed In him by the people
of Germany. President Ebert told his
applauding hearers that he feared an
outbreak of psychic Juror teutoni-
Gus" within few days and that the
wrath of the soul of the people when
it reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as result Of the deep
disappointment and anger born Of fury
and just indignation.
The position taken by the govern
ment heads is supported by all fac
tions except the independent Social
ists-Haase's crowd-who, while de-
claring the treaty oppressive, advise
that II be signed. This may be ex-
planned by the probability that If the
treaty is signed the present govern
nlent will be forced to give way to one
made up Of independent Socialists.

The protests Of the Germans against
the pact and their harping on the four
teen points also were Endorsed by
convention Of Socialists in Paris and
by the Women's International Con-
ference for Permanent Peace, in ses-
sion at Zurich. The resolution adopt
ed by the women was proposed by
Mrs. Philip Snowden Of England and
seconded by Miss Jeanette Rankin,
former member of congress from Mon
tana.

Despite protests. denunciations and
wailing, II was still the opinion Of the
weIl-informed in Paris that the Ger
mans would sign the treaty before the
expiration of the period Of grace al
lowed them. The possibility that they
would persist in their refusal, how
ever, has been amply provided for and
the plans of the allies In that con-
tingency are complete. Marshal Foch
already has been sent to the Rhine
land by the council Of four to take
such military action as may be neces-
sary and the council also has made its
plans for the immediate re-imposition
Of the blockade on Germany. At Co

Another thing that occupied the at

was arrangement for maintaining or

evacuate that territory. Probably all

United States, Great Britain and

In eastern Russia Admiral Kolchak,
head of the Omsk government, is max
ing plans for q great advance designed
to establish communication with the
Archangel forces on the north and
those Of General Denekine on the
south and to effectually crush the
soviet armies. AS starter he has
captured Samara, an important city.
He says he will move in the direction
Of Moscow and that the capture Of
that bolshevik capital will be his chief
aim. What he asks from the allies is
armament, munitions, material and
clothing. After his final victory, he
declares, national assembly will be
called to which he will hand over his
authority. The bOlsheviki have met
further defeats at the hands Of Pet
lura's Ukrainians, and revolts against
their rule have broken out in the gov
ernments Of Kiev, Tchernigov and
Poltava.
Tchltcherin, bolshevist foreign min
lister, has announced that the bolshe-
wiki Will not consent to stop hostilities
as a condition of the provisioning of
Russia by neutrals, and the anti-bol-
shevist leaders declare that this plan,
proposed by Doctor Nansen, is no So

In some ways the treaty with Aus
tria, IT is said, will be like that with
Germany. Austria is to lose her en-
tire navy, according to the reports,
and there Is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimlted she will
find that her southern frontier Is push
ed back so far that Italy will have
not only the Trentino and Trieste, but
also all the strategic passes and
heights In the Alps which the Italians
say are necessary to their future Sc
curity. This is in accordance with
the secret treaty Of London. In the
matter Of reparation Austria OF course
will be required to pay certain sums,
but these will he small In comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water
ways are much like those In the Ger
man treaty. The breaking up Of the
Austro-Hungarian empire has result
ed In reducing Austria to a rather
small fourth rate power without direct
access to the sea, and It is the aim Of
at least some Of the allied nations TO
keep her in that condition. BY her
self she is comparatively harmless;
united with Germany, she would help
largely to make up nation that might
again threaten the peace Of the world.
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau and his
colleagues on the German delegation,
together with their numerous experts.
have been as busy as bees formulat-
ing objections TO the German treaty.
Several Of these were transmitted to
the allies last week and most OF them
were rather summarily answered, and
dismissed. These formal objections
were considered mere preliminary
skirmishes. and meanwhile the Ger
mans were preparing elaborate coun-
ter~proposals. These II Is said, would
contain two dominant diplomatic fea-
tures-an exaltntion of the league OF
nations idea. and vigorous demand
that there be "pure application" OF
wilson's fourteen points. The latter
is designed to win favor In America
and to create a breach between the
