Paris, Sept Hurried arrange

the Austrian treaty at st. Germain, We'd
nesday. The ceremony will be much less
formal than that at Versailles. as it is
believed necessary to rush the signature
Of the document because of the unstable
condition Of the Vienna government.

There is much speculation as to
whether the Balkan states will sign the
treaty. Rumania and Jugo- Slavia are un-
certain. The Jugo Slavs are still ne
gotiating and apparently anxious to get
a reservation exempting Serbia and
Montenegro from the minorities clause
at least 1t is unlikely. however. that
Jugo-Slavia will be permitted to sign with
reservation. as China was denied the
same privilege in connection with the
German treaty. China could gain mem
