of Defeating Plans to

1t will take hard work to defeat the
plan to divide jefferson county. accord
ing to George W. Yancey, chairman OF
the Birmingham committee working
against the Ross bill now pending be-
fore the legislature. Mr.. Yancey re-
turned to Birmingham last night, but
plans to go back to Montgomery to con-
tinue the fight until victory is finally
assured.
1--WE made splendid progress in our
fight to preserve jefferson county, but we
are not safe yet" declared Yancey last
night. There can be no question that 4
majority of the members of the lesisla-
t0re were in favor of the Ross bill to
form Pettus county and to split Jeffer-
son few days ago. Most of them frank
ly stated to us that they had not looked
into the details of the bill, but as there
appeared TO be little opposition from Biz
minghanl they were inclined TO give
Bessemer the new county.
They did not realize what the result
would be for Birmingham. They had
been informed by the BIRMINGHAM men
opposed to the split of our county how
i. would handicap us in our proposed
plans for the use of the Warrior. how il
would prevent the future expansion of
our city and would stop its natural and
logical growth The future troubles in
regard to sewers and many other mat
tiers which are certain to come up had
been overlooked.
"Quite number of legislators who had
promised to vote for the Ross measure.
after hearing our side of the case, Sc
cured their release from the promise
made and viii now vote for us. We made
a number of converts yesterday and
have a strong delegation Of Birmingham
and Jefferson county men still in Mont
lgomery working against she bill. How
ever, Bessemer also has a strong dele
cation and they are sparing no effort
TO get their new county. A.

They believe that the frontiers now
arranged are those which will best guar

"As regards Tyrol, the allied and asso-
ciated powers have been impressed by
the fact that for decades the Italian
people have suffered from a menace de-
liberately directed at their heart by the
retention in Austro-Hungarian hands OF
military outposts commanding the ltal-
ian plains. In these circumstances they
have thought it best to accord to Italy
the natural frontier of the Alps, which
she has long demanded.

SMALL NATIONS PROTECTED

IS. The allied and associated powers
would further remind the Austrian dele
cation that the treaty of peace makes
special provisions for the protection OF
small communities, such as New Aus
tria. 1t will no longer be possible for
powerful empires to threaten with i'm
punity the political and economic life
of their lesser neighbors.
"The clauses relating to ports and
waterways guarantees to Austria under
international sanction access to the sea
by land and water. The labor clauses
will help to preserve the rights and
raise the standards of life for the work
ing population. The minority treaties
will safeguard minorities transferred
to new sovereignty under the treaty OF
peace.
1.-THE league of nations is not the
only protector of Austrias rights. the
league, to which the allied and assoc
ciated powers hope that Austria VIII
be admitted at an early date, will not
only protect the rights of all signator-
les to the treaty, but creates a means
whereby such adjustments as facts or
changing circumstances may prove to
be necessary, if the peace settlement
itself can be peacefully and lawfully
made. These features of the settlement
proposed should not be forgotten.

NOTIFICATIONS FINAL

&c. In conclusion the allied and as
ISOLATED powers wish to- make it clear
that the notifications which they have
now made in the draft treaty are final.
They wish further to state if they have
not replied specifically to all the points
in the reply of the Northumberland
it is not because they have not taken
them into careful consideration; nor
must the absence of any reply be taken
as acquiescence or in approval of these
contentious; nor must the present re-
ply be taken as an authoritative inter-
probation of the text of the treaty.
THE text of the treaty, which we
send you today, following upon that OF
July 20 last, which had already under
gone considerable changes since the or
iginal text of June 2, must be accepted
or rejected in the exact terms in which
it is now drafted. Consequently the al
lied and associated powers request from
the Austrian delegation within a period
of five days, counting from the date OF
the present communication, declaration
informing them that they are prepared to
sign this treaty as it now stands. So
soon as their declaration reaches the
allied and associated powers arrange
ments will be made for the immediate
signature of peace at ST. Germain-en-
Laye.
In Default OF such declaration Wltnln
the period above stipulated, the armistice
concluded on November 8, 1918, shall be
considered as having terminated, and the
allied and associated powers will take
such steps as they may judge necessary
to impose their conditions
SEA ACCESS GUARANTEED
With respect to the frontiers between
Austria and Hungary, the allied and as
sociated powers have desired to guaran-
tee access to the sea of the Czecho Slo-
wax state, and therefore provided that
Pressburg should have it's access to the
sea assured by transit across Hungarian
as well as Austrian territory.
Concessions are granted to Austria in
connection with the Serb Croat Slovene
state, insofar that Radkersburg is given
to the Austrians, also the basin of Mar
burg in Syria, is attached to the Serb
Croat-Slovene state, as previously deter
mined
A most important change in the treaty
All persons possessing the rights of citi-
zenship INDECENT in territory which forms
part of the territory of the former Aus
TRAN Hungarian monarchy shall obtain
ipso facto, to the exclusion of Austria
the nationality of the state exercising
sovereignty over such territory. Certain
conditions are set down as to the right OF
option.
