SAY WILSON HAS
VIOLATED POINT
The German Austrian Cabinet
Claims President Does Not
Live Up to Ninth Point

BASEL, May 5:-The German
Austrian cabinet at Vienna has issued
manifesto in which it claims that
President Wilson through his making
known that he approved the Treaty
of London as far as that concerned
the demarkaHon of the frontier be
tween Italy and German Austria,
Which, meant the annexation of the
southern Tyrol, had acquiesced in a
violation of the ninth of his fourteen
points.
1his ninth point, unlike the tenth,
says the manifesto was not subjected
to change in the note issued at the
time of the conclusion of the armis-
tice. The document adds that the
Italian claims TO the southern Tyrol
are founded purely on strategic
grounds. These. 1t holds, do not JUS
tify annexation because, in the first
place, the photographic frontier be-
tween the German and italian Tyrol
Is in line with Italy's strategical re-
quirements and in the second place
because such annexation is contrary
to the principle of self determination
enunciated by President Wilson in
his speech at Mount Vernon on July
4 last. 1t is pointed out that the
German Austrian government offered
long ago to neutralize the southern
Tyrol militarily while retaining adj
4 dAlu GNOAAOAAAC 1OA1AOA vi
il but that it had never had a reply
to this offer.
The manifesto. concludes by de-
claring that il Italy takes the south
ern Tyrol the rest of the Tyrol would
inevitably be absorbed by Germany
with the result that German-Austria
would be cut off fIom the rest of the
world except through Germany and
therefore would be obliged to unite
herself with Germany,
The tenth point of President Will
sons fourteen which sets forth that
the people of Austria-Hungary should
be accorded the freest opportunity OF
autonomous development" was
modified by President Wilson'S note of
October 10 last, to Austria-Hungary in
which he pointed out that because of
recognition of the United States of
the belligerency of the Czecho Slovaks
and of the justice of the nationalistic
aspirants of the Jugo Sfavs for free
dom he was mo longer at liberty to
accept the mere autonomy of these
peoples as a basis Of peace"
The ninth point read: "A readjust-
ment of the frontiers of Italy snouIo
be effected along clearly recognizable
lines of nationality"
President Wilson's Mount Vernon
speech sets forth the principle that a
settlement of every question,
whether of territory, Of sovereignty,
of economic arrangement or of politi-
cal relationship" should be upon the
basis of the free acceptance of that
settlement by the people Immediately
concerned, and not upon the basis
of the material interests or advan-
tage of any other nation or people
which may desire a different settle
ment for the sake of it's own exterior
influence for mastery"

MIR. WICKERSHAM rs CON-
VERT TO LEAGUE.

George w. Wickersham, for
mer member of President Taft s
cabinet and recognized as one Of
the country's greatest lawyers,
went to Europe some months
ago strongly opposed to Presi-
dent Wilson's peace plans and
particularly the League Of Ma
tions. However, he came back
with his ideas radically changed,
having become a firm advocate
of the proposed league. In a re-
cent address i'll New York he
said:
"That document is not per-
fected. 1t should be amended
in several particulars. Doubtless
it will be. 1t has the merit of
simplicity in its conception and
structure. If there is to be a
league its constitution could con
tain hardly less than that docu-
ment. 1t contains provisions for
growth. If it operates success
fully for few years it will, no
doubt, be expanded and extend
ed to other matters than are now
provided for. The essential pro-
visions now consist in the fact
that the nations which combined
to overthrow the German menace
to civilization unite for the pur-
pose of securing the fruits of
victory an dto prevent the re
currence of unnecessary war.
Continuing Mr.. Wickersham
said

mosities. They must be led and
directed and made to feel that
behind them is the organized
and combined force of the great
powers, sympathetically associat-
ed for their protection, but also
ready to curb their aggressions
an dto prevent them from dis
turbing the peace of the world.
"Then too the German people
have not ceased to be a menace
to the future of the world. SO
far as manifestations from that
country reveal, they are unre-
pentent and unregenerate. Not
until they feel acutely the con-
demnation of the world with
which they must come in con-
tact in their lives of industry
and commercial intercourse will
they be apt to turn new and bet
ter ideals of national progress
then the old lust of German ex-
pansion and domination by
which they have been led so
many years.
