Austria Receives Terms; May Ask
More Time for Rendering Reply

Paris, Sept. 3.-The revised text OF
the peace terms framed for Austria S
acceptance by the peace conference
was handed to the Austrian penipo-
Tertiary at St. German Tuesday aft
ernoon.
The treaty was presented to the
Austrian delegates by Paul Dutassa,
| general secretary of the peace confer
ence. He also handed them the reply
! to the Austrian counter proposals and
| a covering letter reitcrating that
Austria had precipitated the war by
an ultimatum unacceptable to Serbia.
Chancellor Carl Renner head of the
Austrian delegation, left last night
| for Vienna with the party. He indi-
Gated that he would probably ask for
an extension Of time. as the Austrian
general assembly would meet on Sat
urday and Sunday to discuss the
terms. The supreme council, 1t Is an
nounced, will extend the time If Aus
tria so requests.
The note transmitting the allied re-
ply to the observations of the Aus
trian delegates on the conditions of
peace, addressed to Carl Renner and
signed by NJ. Clemenceau as president
OF the council, follows:
Draft of Covering Letter.
! Draft of the covering letter follows,
In part:
"Q) The allied and associated
powers have given most careful con-
sideration 20 the observations OF the
Austrian delegation on the draft
treaty of peace. The reply Of the
Austrian delegation objects to the
draft treaty on Che grounds that in
view of the dissolution of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy, Austria ought
not to be treated as an enemy state
at all, and that, in consequence, she
ought not to be made in any special
way inheritor of the responsibilities
in regard to reparation to which the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy would
undoubtedly be liable did 1t still exist,
AS these observations point to a
fundamental misconception of the re-
sponsibilities of the people of Austria,
the allied and associated powers feel
It necessary to state as briefly as may
be the principle which they consider
must be applied to the settlement of
the late war so far as Austria is con-
cerned The people of Austria, to-
gether with their neighbors, the peo-
pie OF Hungary, bear in a peculiar de-
gree responsibility for the calamities
which have befallen Europe during
the last five years.
1.-THE war was precipitated by an
ultimatum presented to Serbia by the
government at Vienna and requiring
acceptance within forty eight hours
series Of demands which amounted to
the destruction of the independence
Of a neighboring sovereign state. The
government of Serbia accepted within
the prescribed time all the demands
except those which involved the viz
tual surrender of It's independence.
yet the then Austro- Hungarian
government, refusing all offers of
conference or Cancellation on the
basis of that reply, Immediately
opened hostilities against Serbia,
thereby deliberately setting light to a
train which led directly to a uni
Versal war.
ut is now evident that this ulti-
matum was no more than an insin-

cere excuse for beginning n war for
which the late autocratic government
at Vienna, in close association with
the rulers OF Germany, had long been
prepared. and for which it considered
the time had arrived. The presence
OF Austrian guns at the siege of Liege

Would Shun Responsibility.
The Austrian delegation appear to
think that responsibility for these acts
rested solely on the HapsburE dynasty
and its satellites and that by reason Of
the dissolution of that monarchy
through the vicinity of the allies the
people OF Austria can escape RESPONSE
bility for the deeds of the government.
which was their own government and
which had its home in their capital.
Had the people of Austria in tho
years preceding endeavored to cover the
militarist and domineerng spirit by
which the government OF the Hapsburg
monarchy was animated: had they
made any effective protest against the
war or refused to assist or support
their rulers in prosecuting It, some at

but the fact that the war was nc.
claimed on its outbreak In Vienna, that
the people of Austria were its ardent
supporters from start to finish and
that they did nothing to dissociate
themselves from the policy OF their gov
eminent and its allies until they had
been defeated in the field, makes 1t
clear that according to any canon of
justice they must be held to bear their
full measure of responsibility for y
crime which has brought such misery
on the world.
"There is. however. a further fact
to which the allied and associated pow.
ers feel bound to poiny. The Hapsburg
system became in it's essence a system
maintaining the ascendancy of the Ger
man and Magyar races over majority
of the inhabitants of the Austro-EIun-
garian monarchy. This effete autocracy
with Its milltaristic tradition, was
maintained in existence through the
vigorous support of the Inhabitants of
Austria and Hungary because it gave
to them a position of political and eco
nomic domination over their fellow
subjects.
1T was a policy or racial ascendancy
and oppression to which the people of
Austria gave their steady support
which was one of the deeper causes of
the war. It led to those irridentist
movements along the frontiers of Aus
tria and Hungary. which kept Europe
in ferment of unrest; 1t led to the
growing dependence of Austro- Hun
gary on Germany and consequently to
the subordnation of the Austro- Hum
Earian policy to the German plans of
domination and in the end It led to a
situation in which the rulers of the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy could see
no other way to preserving their own
power than to set to work deliberately
to destroy the liberty OF small and
dependent nations. which kept alive the
vision of liberty among their oppressed
brethren and which blocked the way to
Constantinople and the east

Has Passed Crisis.

Washington.-(N. e. A)--From ev-

gradual return to normal Is hoped

say.
Public's Attitude Is Big Factor.
Credit for bringing about this hope
full condition is widely distributed.
Official agitation has had much to do
with the average buyer at retail. The
public's disposition, to combat high
prices, and not to be intimidated by
threats of further increases, has had
its sure effect. And the fight is not
