ALLIED PEACE TERMS MAY
 CHANGE HUN GOVERNMENT

London, May 13.-The possibility O change in the government of GerI many as result of the presentation of the allied peace terms was disl cussed by Philip Scheidemann, Ger1 man chancellor, at Berlin today, acJ cording to a dispatch to the ExchangeI Telegraph company from that cityl He denounced the peace termsl which, he said, represented a "brutall dictated peace,'' it is said. The state-I ment was made to foreign journa1lsts| in the former chancelIor's place anal in part, follows:
 We thought that we social dembl crats were strong enough to prevent al peace by violence, but doubted whether the masses in enemy coun I tries could support us because they are less strongly organized than we. Certain circles in England and France q are beginning to advise the necessity of common sense. It is too comic when President Wilson's 1 4 points aral contrasted with the peace terms. They do not mention MT. Wilson's ternss but are just a brutal, dictated peaoes
 Tt is possible a government n1ight| be formed which would sign thed peace terms, put It IS doubtful wheth " CT the Allies would be satisfied wihhl such a government. A reactionaryI government is out of all question and communist and independent gov~, ernment would be acting for the peo-I pie, of whom they would represenE@ only small minority. Even if suclra a government did sign the treaty, it' would be just as impossible for thenaS to fulfill the conditions as it would be for us."

SOCIALISTS SEE NOTHING a
 DEFT TO DO BUT SIGNII

Berlin, May 12 CBy The Associated Press. .)-Even if important changesi are not made by the negotiations be-l gun at Versailles, there remains nod cha ice but to bow to compulsion andq sign the treaty. says an appeal ons the central committee of the inde-j pendent socialist party in the partys organ Die Freiheit this morning.
 Not signing" continues the appeal.J means the retention Of our prisonersi of war, the occupation of our rawl material districts, the tightening or the blockade, unemployment hunger and death en masse. It is the prod letariat that would suffer the most terribly from the consequences.
 Peace, hard and as oppressive as. it may be, is necessary assumption for the problem of rebuilding our so- cial and economic life in the spirit of the revolutionary proletariat."
 The appeal is prefaced by a denun- citation of the severity of the peace terms. It concludes with a demand that the workmen of all countries unite against capitalism for a world revolution.

AUSTRIAN OFFENDERS
 MUST ALSO BE TRIED
This Part of Treaty is 1denti- cal With That Given
 Germany.

Paris, May 12, (By the Associated Austria, now well toward completion, a, responsibility clause has been in serted identical with that in the Ger man treaty except that the first clause, providing for the trial of former Elm peror William, is omitted. The re- rnaining clause makes provision for
 the trial of military offenders by an
 international court-martial.
 The frontier delimitation of the new
 Austria presents the one serious issue
 in the drawing of the treaty some what similar to that of the Sarre val- lev i, the German treaty. This is as
 regards the lower Tyrol, @ section of which is detached from Austria and placed within the boundaries of Italy. It includes the cities of Bozen and Meran. and an estimated German population of about 250,00O.
 The reason for attaching this Ger man-speaking population to Italy Is the establishm of a strategic from tier giving Italy adequate protection from invasion from the north. The old frontier ran south of the Alps, with Italy on the down grade ana Austria on the commanding heights. The new treaty now reverses this glv- 1 ing Italy the heights and all the de- 1 fensive passages. The former status |! gave Austria seven lines of approach, l while Italy possessed only one main |~linc for mobilizing it's defenses. The 1 new status places all these lines of , approach under Italy.
 As has been stated the frontier line l as drawn in the terms to be presented the Austrians is the one laid down by i the treaty of London although the 1 treaty makes no mention of this fact 1 Italy sought this line as a permanent l strat agic defense, secured It's Insertion
 in the armistice terms and now se-
 cures it's incorporation in the treaty.
