PEACE OF
HATE" SAY
.AUSTR|ANS
OF TERMS
Cannot Accept Them Declares
President Seitz in Address
Opening National Assem-
bly, Saturday.

Vienna, June 8.-The peace terms
presented to Austria are impossible
and mean the death of the country
by starvation, President eitz de-
clared in his address opening the
extraordinary session of the national
assembly Saturday. The galleries
were filled and the floor contained
a large proportion of the members
of the assembly, including two
won.en. The session was orderly.
Foreign Minister Bauer reported
on mis- conference at Feldkirch with
Dr.. Renner, head of the Austrian
peace delegation. Bauer, who is
not popular in Vienna, or in the
country, and who is generally re-
ferred to as a bolshevik, was lis
tened to quietly while he read six
pages of manuscript.
After declaring that the treaty
was peace of hate, Bauer released
his personal vials of wrath against
the Czechs, who, he said, had taken
all CT Austria's sugar and other in
dustr:es. The loss of German-Bo-
henia to Austria, he added. meant
not merely subsection of 3,500,000
Germans to foreign rule, but the
loss of the most valuable parts of
German-Austria, industrially and
cultul ally.
Tyrol Will Never Submit.
DR.. Bauer declared the Tyrol
would never submit to the peace
terms and that it, as we'll as the
Germans of Bohemia, had the SYM
pathy of all Germans. He added
that several months ago the Aus
trian government submitted to the
Ita,;sn government the draft of a
treaty under which German South
Tyro: would remain with Austria,
cons.itutionally and economically,
but as neutral military zone. DR..
Bauer said he hoped the Italian
government would not refuse to dis
cuss- the proposal at St. German.
He said there was danger of an
irredentia movement in German
South Tyrol, remarking that the
German people might hope gradu
ally to win the friendship of Italy,
but it would be a misfortune to both
if the annexation of German South
Tyro prevented this.
Regarding western Hungary and
the frontiers of Carinthia and
Sty+ia, the foreign minister added,
the Austrian peace delegation would
propose plebescites under neutral
control.
Austria, he said, also must have
direC, communica tion with Italy for
commercial reasons.
Again Go Over Proposals.
Paris, June 8.-The new week
begins with the German counter
proposals still the subject of discus
sion. The Council of Four, with
Premier Orlando of Italy absent,
again went over the proposals Sun
day and, while various days have
been mentioned unofficially for re-
plying to the Germans, no agree
ment has been reached by the Coun-
Gil. The latest belief expressed,
however, is to the effect that an
understanding may be arrived at the
end of the week, with the possibil
ity of its coming sooner.
1t may be significant of an early
impending agreement that the depar-
ture of President Wilson for the
United States is reported as possible
within 10 days or two weeks.
Sundays discussion included one
of the most difficult outstanding
questions-that affecting the Ger
man-Polish frontier. The presenta-
ton of majority of the minor COM
missions reports is expected to oc-
cupy the councils attention Monday.
1t has been pointed out that this
may end to make more rapid prog
ress possible.
A plan for the solution of the
Adriatic problem, approved by the
peace conference, will form part
of the discussions at the Italian
frontier betewen Premier Orlando
and Vice Premier Colosimo.
