Germany has recognized this principle regarding prisoners of war and civilians of the allied and associated powers in it's custody.
 "The German delegation deems it neces- sary for reasons of equity to accord cer- tain improvements in the treatment of prisoners, military and civilians, pending the time when they may return to thei, own country"

 The report of the committee on the German note regarding changes in the labor convention has been approved and sent to the Germans. Close scrutiny of the treaty revealed several omis- sions.

 Paris. May 1.-The Austrian peace delegation arrived at St. Germaine-e en- Lave at 5:55 o'clock this evening.
 The delegation was met by Prefect Chaliel and representatives of the French government and the allied and associated powers.
 The first meeting with the Austrian delegates presented a sharp contrast to the first meeting with the German delegates because of it's greater ease and friendlness.
 The Austrian delegation was headed by Karl Renner, the chancellor. He was the first to leave the special car
 Chancellor Renner appeared in the doorway of the car with his hat in his hand and with contagious smile that put the reception committee quickly at it's ease.
 NO HAND SHAKING
 Dr. Renner, a plump round-faced d man with black beard and bald head and with his eyes shining brightly be- hind a pair of gold trimmed spectacles. bowed courteously to the reception committee. There was no hand shaking.
 The head of the Austrian delegation was followed by pr. Franz Klein Peter Eichoff and Dr, Richard Schuller. Aft CT them came the members of the party which numbered about 60
 NJ Chaliel, advancing and lowing, addressed the Austrian chancellor say ing he was delegated to meet the Aus trian representatives and treat them with friendly courtesy. He added that he would turn them over to Major Bourgeois, who would establish rela- tions between them and the entente powers.
 Members of the Austrian delegation tion. questioned on their arrival in timated that they would demand the at tachment of German Bohemia and Ger man Tyrol to Germany and declared that without these concessions they would be unable to sign the treaty. This was not said with such conviction as would indicate firm determination. and the impression was gained that they were ready to sign, even if an nexation to Germany was not per- mitted

Republicans Look Ahead
In the Seventh District

1NEMOCRATS of the Seventh con-
~ gressional district should not
allow themselves to be caught nap
ping. Republican leaders are reported
to be planning for an intensive fight
in the district next year. With that
object in view, the poll taxes of all
republican voters are being paid.
The Seventh district has long been
a battle ground between republicans
and democrats, but in the special cleo
ton here some months ago, it gained
national prominence because a test
was made of public sentiment
on the League of Nations and
the strength of the democratic
party, particularly in the "solid
south" National figures of both
parties were active in the fight.
Congressman L. B. Rainey, demo-
crat, defeated C. B. Kennamer, re-
publican, for the unexpired term of
the late Congressman Burnett, but it
was not an easy victory.
The republicans are now looking
ahead to the primary next spring
