AUSTRIA DECLARES TERMS
ARE TOO SEVERE FOR THEM
Sends a Note to Peace Conference
Pleading for More Lenient Treat
ment-Wants Debt Divided.

Copenhagen.-A summary of the
Austrian note presented to the allied
peace mission at st. German, France,
Aug 8, has been received here from
Vienna.
IF German-Austria's territorial de-
mands are fulfilled to the minimum
extent maintained for in the appendix
to the note says the summary, Ger
man-Austria will make efforts to be-
lieve she can live independently and
in peace in this territory. She ex-
poets the league of nations will hear
her in her hour of distress.
ION the other hand, German.Aus-
tria still is firmly convinced that the
economic burdens imposed upon her
by the peace treaty cannot really be
carried out and that if they are not
substantially lightened she is bound
to collapse.
Children Are Perishing.

herself to be placed under the entente
powers financial control, but she ex-
poets the reparation committee will
act with the considera ton demanded
by her desperate position and grant
the necessary credits to obtain raw
materials and foodstuffs."
The note urges amendment with a
view to investigating a commission
with plenary powers, regarding all eco
nomic and financial peace conditions.
1t then argues regarding the unjust
and unequal division of old Austria S
debts among the states which succeed
ed it and the injustice of stipulations
regarding war loans

continues, that all states in what
was formerly Austria Hungary should
divide the debts of the old monarchy
Apart from the bank debt, clauses in
the peace treaty show a burden of
debt for German Austria Of some 40,
600, 100000 marks. Thus two-thirds
OF the entire debt of the Austrian
states, without the note debt, is
placed on the shoulders of one-fifth OF
the former population

"Stand in" With Local Editor.

1t must be as long as two years
ago that we published an article
which advised retailers to get and
stay on friendly terms with their
local newspaper men, get stories in
the papers constantly, as one of the
best features of advertising, says

licity for the store is perfectly legi-
innate and when the editor is a man

stores. He will certainly welcome
that sort of cooperation, if the mat.
ter you give has a real educational
or news value.
The matter was called to mind this
week by having seen in the Atlantic
(Iowa) News-Telegraph an article on
the first page about shoes, the pres
ent situation and the future trend
OF prices. 1t happened that the editor
OF this department was in Atlantic
about two weeks ago and while there
had talk with Frank Nebe, a promi-
nent shoe retailer of that city, and
In the conversation Mr. Nebe re-
marked that he was going to write
an article for the local daily explain
ing why the people should not be ex-
pecting lower price on shoes right
now. The article mentioned above
was the one Mr.. Nebe prepared.
Now, Mr.. Nebe is not only a prom
inent shoe retailer of Atlantic, but he
Is also secretary and treasurer of
the Iowa State Retail Shoe Dealers
association, and he has recently re-
turned from the state convention.
Of course, those things have given
him much better chance to have
his opinions taken with interest, but
we dare say that If he or other mer-
chants would give more of that sort
OF thing to the papers he and they
and the public would all profit more.
Some may say that everything was
ripe for Mr.. Nebe to get such a story
published, for him to write some
thing of real interest. That is true.

Threats or Coercion Condemned-Wil-

Washington, ID. C.-President Will

high cost of living, but at the same
time declared permanent results could
not be expected until peace time ba-
sis were fully restored by ratification
OF the peace treaty.
High prices, the president told con-
gress, were not justified by shortage
of supplies either present or prospect
i've, but were created in many cases
'artificially and deliberately" by wi
cious practices" Retailers, he said,
were responsible in large part for ex-
tortionate prices.
Strikers, the president warned the
labor world, would only make matters
worse and those who sought to employ
threats or coercion were only "prepar-
ing their own destruction"
Make Recommendations.
General recommendation included ::
Increase of production.
Careful buying by housewives.
Fair dealing with the people ON the
part of the producers, middlemen and
merchants.
That there be no threats and undue
insistence upon the interest of sin

Correction of many things in the
relation between capital and labor in
respect to wages and conditions OF la
