not ready for presentation when the
official ceremony took place.
In an accompanying memorandum

terms previously submitted to them.
In addition to the published sum

The army shall be used exclusively

responsibility of Austria and her al
lies for causing loss and damage to
which the allied and associated gov
ernments and their nationals have
been subjected as consequence Of
the war imposed upon them by the
aggression Of Austria and her allies.
While recognizing that Austrias re.
sources will not be adequate to make
complete reparation, the allied and as
ISOLATED governments request, and
Austria undertakes that she will make
compensation for damage done to civ
ilians and their property, in accord
ance with categories of damages SINH
lar to those provided in the treaty
with Germany.
The amount of damage is to be de-
termined by the reparations commits
sion provided for in the treaty with
Germany, which is to have a special
section to handle the Austrian situa.
ton The commission will notify Aus.
tria before May 1, 1921, OF the extent
Of her liabilities and Of the schedule

payment resulting from the treaty.

shall pay during 1919, 1920 and the
first four months of 1921, in such
manner as provided by the repara-
tons committee, "a reasonable sum,
which shall be determined by the
commission"
Three bond issues shall be made,
the first before May 1, 1921, without
interest; the second at 21a per cent
interest, between 1921 and 1926, and

ditional / per cent for amortization,
beginning in 1926, and a third at
per cent when the commission is sat
isfied that Austria can meet the in
terest and sinking fund obligations.
The amount shall be divided by the
allied and associated governments in
proportions determined upon in ad-
vance on basis Of general equity,
