ST. GERMAN, June 2.-Austria
was today given Is days to reply to
the terms of peace presented by the
allied nations.
The official summary of the official
Austrian peace terms was made a.
valuable today in diplomatic circles:
"The frontiers of Austria: The
northern frontier facing Czecho-Slo-
vakia follows the existing admins
trative boundaries formerly separat-
ing the provinces of Bohemia and
Moravia from those of upper and
lower Austria subject to certain
minor rectifications, notably in the
regions of Gmund and Feldsberg and
along the River Moravia.
1.-THE frontier with Italy begins at
the Reschen Pass, on the Swiss front
Ter and follows in general the water
shed between the basins of the Inn
and the Drave on the north and
Adige, Piave and Tagliamento on the
south. This line, which runs through
Brenner Pass and the peak of the
Signori (Dreiherrenspitze), includes
| in the Italian frontiers the valley of
Sachsen and the basin of Jarvis.
East of the Jarvis region the
Austrian frontier follows the Kara
wanka Mountains to a point south
east of Villach, then runs north to
the Worthersee, the towns of Klagen-
furt and Volkermarkt, thence along
the north of the Drave in such a
manner as to leave the Serbo- Croar-
Slovene state Marburg and Radekers-
burg, just to the north of which lat
ter place it will join the Hungarian
frontier.
''The disposition of the Klagenfurt
basin, which lies to the south of this,
will be determined by a plebiscite to
be held within six months from the
coming into effect of the treaty, the
4 Austrian authorities TO be with
drawn. In case OF majority of tho
population votes for union with Aus
tria, the southern frontier of Aus
tria will continue along the Kara
wanken Mountains to a point south
east of Eisenkappel, thence north
east passing east of Bleiburg, ira
versing the Drave just above its con-
fiuence with the Lavant, then rejoin
the frontier already traced.
"The Western and northwestern
frontiers facing Bavaria, the west
ern frontier facing Switzerland ard
the eastern frontier facing Hungary
remain unchanged.
Political clauses: Europe: The high
contracting parties recognize and ac-
cept the frontiers of Bulgaria,
Greece, Hungary, Poland, Roumania,
the Serb-Croat-Slovene state and the
Czecho-Slovak state as at present or
as ultimately determined Austria
renounces in favor of the principal
allied and associated powers all her
rights and titles over territories for
merly belonging to her which though
outside the new frontiers of Aus
tria have not at present been assign
ed to any state undertaking to ac-
cept the settlement to be made in re-
gard to these territories.
''The Czecho-Slovak state: Aus
tria recognizes the complete indie
pendence of the autonomous terri
tory south of the Carpathians, in
conformity with the action already
taken by the allied and associated
powers. The exact boundary be-
tween Austria and the new state is
to be fixed by field commission of
seven members, five nominated by
the principal allied and associated
powers and one each by Austria and
Czecho-Slovakia. Czecho-Slovakia
agrees to embody in a treaty with
the principal allied and associated
powers such provisions as may be
deemed necessary to protect racial,
religious or linguistic minorities and
to assure freedom of transit and
equitable treatment for the COM
merce of other nations.
"The rb-Croat-Slovene state:
Austria similarly recognizes the COM
plete independence of the Serb-Cro-
at-Clovene state and renounces her
rights and titles. A similarly APP
pointed field commission, including a
member nominated by the Serb
Croat-Slovene state, is to fix the ex-
act boundary. The question of the
basin of Klagenfurt is reserved. The
Serb-Croat-Slovene state agrees to a
similar treaty for the protection of
minorities and freedom of transit.
"Roumania Roumania agrees to a
similar treaty for protection of mi
norities and freedom of transit.
Russia Austria is to recognize
and respect the full independence of
all the territories which formed part
of the former Russian empire. She
is to accept definitely the annulment
of the Brest-Litovsk treaty and of
all treaties or agreements of all
kinds concluded since the revolution
of November, 1917, with all govern
ments or political groups on terri
tory of the former Russian empire.
The allies reserve all rights on the
part of Russia for restitution and
satisfaction to be obtained from Aus
tria on the principles of the present
treaty.
General arrangements: Austria is
to consent to the abrogation of the
