Skeleton of Pact Handed ENJOYS
With Boundary and Finance
Clauses Omitted.
MUST REPLYIN Is DAYS.
No Oral Discussions to Be Allowed,
CIemenceau informs Delegates
Chancellor Says Country Recog-
nizes Its Responsibilities.

st. Germain, June 3.-The peace
treaty was handed to the Austrian
delegation at 1898 p. M, with the
problem of the Adriatic claims of
Italy unsolved.
The meeting did not convene until
1925 p. m. owing to the late arrival
of President Wilson. He was the last
of the delegates to reach the chateau,
entering the hall at 1874; punctured
tire on his automobile had held him
upon the way.
Fifteen-Day Leeway Allowed.
Premier Clemenceau, in his instruc-
tions to the Austrian delegates, in
formed them that no oral discussions
would be allowed and that all written
observations must be submitted within
a maximum period of Is days.
The document was reported to be
mere skeleton of the treaty, with tinan-
cial economic reparations, military
and boundary clauses, either wholly
or partially lacking. The complete
sections consist principally of political
and territorial clauses, together with
the league of nations covenant which
is identical with that in the German
treaty, according to advance informa-
ton.
Boundaries to Be Fixed Later.
While the treaty indicates generally
the territory which Austria loses, the
precise boundaries will be fixed later
either by the Allies or a mixed COM
mission. IT provides that Austria shall
retain the northern boundary she had
in 1914, with the Czecho-Slovak boun-
daries in the northwest, while on the
south she will be assigned the boun-
daries fixed under the treaties of 1916,
except the regions of Marburg and
Ilagenfurt, the allegiance of which
will be determined by plebiscites. The.
treaty holds that the recent plebiscite
in Voralberg, where the population
voted to join Switzerland, is invalid
and provides that Voralberg shall re-
main with Austria and pay her portion
of the Austrian war debts and indem-
nifty
Clemenceau finished speaking at
1929 (His speech was then trans
lated into English, Italian and German
and the treaty was presented to the
Austrains at 1880
Chancellor Renner arose and replied
I'm French. While he was speaking a
glass case containing relics of the
Stone Age (the chateau is used as a
national museum) burst and interrupt
ed him momentarily.
Recognize Own Responsibilities.
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 re-
sponsibilities and accept our share in
proportion with the other great powers.
'sOur revolution was pacific and with
out military action. 1t was simply
social revolution, as peaceable and
reasonable as possible. and we will
not depart from that line of conduct
and policy if you give us the peace of
| justice and democracy necessary for
our economic existence"
The Austrian delegates appeared in
morning dress, while most of the AL
lied representatives wore business
suits.\ Mrs. Diaz, wife of the Italian
general, was the only woman present.
The meeting adjourned at 1:14 p. m.

Munich, June Representatives OF
all political parties in Bavaria met
and found themselves of one opinion
that the situation OF the country was
SO serious that unity was the only
means OF its salvation, and that the

step toward achieving this unity. This

ANTI-PROHIBITIONISTS' PLAN
Proceeding on Theory That ProhbI-

Washington, June 3.-Anti-prohibi-
that prohibition will not prohibit and
that congress eventually will declare
beer and light wines Notwithstanding
and that whisky can be distilled for
certain purposes, refusing to pass leg
islation to enforce the constitutional
amendment to the letter The result
would be strict enforcement of the
amendment in dry states only, while
wet states would become wet again.
Inasmuch, however, as congress is
more than two-thirds dry in both
houses, it is conceded that. only
great revulsion of sentiment could full
fill this hope of the vets.

931 YANKS MUST PAY
FOR STOLEN CHAMPAGNE

COBLENZ, May Is. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press. mime hum
dred and thirty-one officers and en-
listed men of the Third United States
army have been assessed approximate
ly q, 900 francs to reimburse a French
railway company for the loss Of 2,l75
bottles of champagne (which disap-
peared near Toul last December. Find
ings of an army board, which had the
case in hand for several months. were
announced recently.
The officers and men, all from the
army Of occupation, were on their "a
to an army school at C~hatillon-SuT-
Seine, travelling by special train, and,
according to testimony before the
board. the champagne disappeared one
night soon after the Americans arrived
In Toul, While a number Of French
soldiers were also involved, testimony
at the hearing did not bring out just
who discovered the freight car loaded
with wine nor who were the first indi-
viduals to start handing out the bot
ties.
The contention Of the railway Off
Gals was that the vino had been drunk
by the soldiers and the Americans had
had a hand in the affair, and SO the
board decided to pro rate the cost of
the champagne among all the Ameri-
cam on the train according to their
pay allowances.
