BOTH GERMAN AND AUSTRIAN
TREATIES HANG IN BALANCE

Paris-This has been an anxious day
throughout peace conference circles,
with both the German and Austrian
treaties in the balance, and every ef-
fort is being made toward early and
united action.
The council Of four considered the
Austrian treaty in the morning to
complete the military and reparation
terms, which were omitted when the
document was delivered Monday. Lat
er, the council turned to the German
counter proposals and called in ex-
perts.
Many private conferences were also
going on, including one between Colo
mel House, OF the American delega-
ton, and A. J. Balfour, British foreign
secretary, all seeking to clarity the
situation and determine the course OF
action.
The prevailing view Of those taking
part was hopeful Of early and salts
factory results. They admitted that
the conditions were difficult and that
the differences were rather sharply
drawn, but insisted that there was
nothing like an impasse or anything
threatening an agreement.
