ST. GERMAN, June 2-The peace
treaty was handed to the Austrian
delegates at 1929 D. m. today.
The meeting did not convene until
1925 owing to the late arrival OF
President Wilson. He was the last OF
the delegates to reach the chateau, en-
tering the hall at 1914.
Premier Clemenceau in his instruc-
tions to the Austrian delegates, In
formed them that no oral discussion
would be allowed and that all written
observations must be submitted with
in a maximum period Of fifteen days.
The document was reported to be Z
mere skeleton Of the treaty with
financial. economic reDarations, mill
tary and boundary clauses either
wholly or partially lacking. The com
plete sections consist principally OF
political and territorial clauses to
gether with the league OF nauons
covenant which is Identical with tina,
OF the German treaty according to
advance information. Clemenceau TN
ished speaking at 1929.
His speech was then translated into
English, Italian and German and the
treaty was presented to the Austr1ans
at IL: 80.
Chancellor Renner arose and replied
In French. While he was speaking a
glass case containing relics OF the
stone age (the chateau Is used as a
national museum) burst and inter
rupted him momentar1ly.
1--WE trust in your sense OF Justice
and practical spirit not to demand
that we be crushed" said Renner. I'VE
are disposed to recognize our own
responsibilities and accept our share
in proportion with the other great
powers.
"Our revolution was pacific and
without military action. 1t was sim
rly a social revolution, as peaceable
and reasonable as possible, and we
will not depart from that line OF con-
duct and policy If you give us the
peace of Justice and democracy neces-
sary for our economic existence.
Renner argued that all the peoples
of the former gartan em-
pire should share in the responsible
ties and cost of the war. Describing
conditions In Austria:
"Only by the relief organized Dy
Herbert Hoover have We avoided aD-
solute starvation"
The Austrian delegates appeared IN
morning dress while most of the allied
representatives wore business suits.
Mrs Diaz, wife of the Italian general
was the only woman present.
The meeting adjourned at liza p. m.
In conclusion Renner said:
You may rest assured that our
foremost wish is cooperation accord
ing to our strength and within un-
contested boundaries to secure posses
sion of our liberties and civilization.
We will cooperate to the fullest pos
sibIe extent in the league Of nations
for attainment Of world peace"
Following translation of Renner's
speech into English and Italian, Glenn
enceau asked If the Austrians had
any more to say. They replied In the
negative.
While the treaty indicates generally
the territory which Austria loses, the
precise boundaries will be fixed later
either by the allies or mixed COM
mission. 1t provides that Austria
shall retain the northern boundary she

COOKING DONE
BY ELECTRICITY
Women Highly Interested in Lecture
by Electrical Expert, Who Cooked
Dinner at Low Cost.

About 45 women attended the demon
stration yesterday afternoon in Odd Eel
lows temple. given under the auspices of
the Woman's club, when Prof. +. J. Allen,
electrical expert, of Washington, ID. c.,
who is connected with the Westinghouse
Electric Go. at Pittsburg, gave a highly
interesting and clever lecture on the
Westinghouse electric appliances of va
rious kinds and especially on the electric
range. A full course dinner was cooked
by Prof. Allen, which consisted of roast
beef and vegetables, explaining the range
in full detail, which worked automat-
ically. This range, which is new to most
housekeepers in Brattleboro, appealed
very strongly to the women present and
all were intensely interested in Prof
Aliens discourse. The speaker said that
at the rate charged for electricity here
the cost of preparing full course dinner
such as was cooked yesterday would DC
four cents, as nearly as he could figure.

ton act of Nov 2l, 1918, scheduled to 60
INTO effect within week interest here
and Throughout the country centcrs in
whether the President intends to suspend
operation of the law Investigation here
shows that the President probably viii
act as soon as he has the legal authority
to do SO, and that prohibition ushered
in by the food bill is not going to re-
main in force long, even if the President
does not feel warranted to prevent its
making the country bone dry on july /.
| There are two courses of action open
TO the President, according to authorita-
| tive information here, and the chances
are all in favor of his adopting one or
the other The first Is for the Presi,
dent to intervene before next Wednesday
and irrespective Of congress, declare that
the need for wartime prohibition under
the food bill Is passed The other Is for
the President to await reports from the
i legal advisers that demobilZation of the
! American troops has been completed in
the sense of the statute and then put the
food stimulation bill with its wartime
prohibition hors de combat.
The opinion of officials in the Presi
dents confidence is that the latter course
IS perhaps more likely than the former
though they will not be surprised to Sc,
wartime prohibition nipped before i
starts. Under the latter contingency tn,
nation would have a few weeks Of boa,
dry experiment followed by the Iiftin,

stitutiOn.

ages for Scuttling Warships at

PARIS, June % (Associatcd Press) .
France has decided to require com
plete reparation from Germany for the
sinking of the German warships at
Scapa Flow. This announcement was
made by NJ. Leygucs, minister of ma
rine to the naval committee of the
chamber of deputies yesterday after
noon. He declared that the act of the
Germans violated both the armistice
and the peace treaty.
Viscount Gustave de Kerguezec.
member of the naval committee of the
chamber of deputies, told the budget
committee of the chamber yesterday
that he had warned the French minister
of marine that the German fleet in
termed in Scapa Flow was not being
watched with sufficient care.
Newspaper comment in some eases
shows much bitterness over the acts OF
those whom the Figaro calls ga per
jured race with no respect for their
plighted word. -
"Some criticism is directed at the
British admiralty, the Journal saying:
"No article in the armisticc forbade
the maintenance of British guards
aboard the German ships.
L'Oeuvre says that the fate of the
German ships was that proposed fo1
them by the British government
