AUSTR|AMUST
ACT ON TERMS IN
fifteen DAYS
Impressive Event at st. Ger
main Today When Treaty
is Read

ST. GERMAN, June 2.-Austria
was today given fifteen daysro reply
to the terms of peace presented by the
Allied nation.
The entire peace treaty was not pre-
sented to the Austrians today and the
fifteen days stipulation with regard to
their reply therefore referred only to
the portion of the terms handed them
at today's session.
NJ. Clemenceau, president of the
peace conference, was the first promi-
nent speaker to arrive at the meet
ing.
Secretary of State Lansing and Hen
ry White were the first American rep
resentatives to arrive. They were fol-
lowed by Arthur J. Balfour, Premier
Orlando of Italy and Premier Pader-
ewski, of Poland.
At 1910 o'clock President Wilson
had not arrived, and the ceremony Of
presentation was delayed slightly. The
President reached st. German at 1914
o'clock a punctured tire having held
up his automobile at st. Cloud.
A passing army car was command
deered and the president and Rear
Admiral Grayson then sped to st.
German.
The Austrian representatives ar
rived at 1922 o'clock entering the
chamber by rear entrance. The dele
gates were attired in conventional
| morning dress. -
The Austrians were escorted in by
an italian officer.
The session was formally opened
by announcement OF head usher. Pre-
mier Clemenceau, president of the
peace conference, Immediately began
his address. He spoke only three min
utes. His remarks were translated in
to English, italian and German.
The hall was densely packed, many
of the secretaries having been admit
ted to the chamber and the denseness
of the throng detracted somewhat
from the impressiveness of the cere-
mony.
Paul Dutasta, general secretary of
the peace conference, presented the
terms to the Austrians at 12:37
o'clock.
DIR. Carl Renner Austrian chancel
lor and head of the delegation. then
began an address in German. He
opened with a complaint at the delay
in the presentation of the peace terms.
He declared the Austrian republic
was entirely free from the Hapsburg
dynasty. 1t would have never de-
clared war itself. he asserted. He con-
cluded his address at 1850 o'clock.
After DR.. Renner's address Pre-
mier Clemenceau asked If anyone else
desired to s<~Lk. There was no re-
sponse and he declared the ceremony

$1,000 BOOST
IN 8. A. DRIVE
Doughnuts and Baseball Games
Swell Fund for Salvation
Army

The Salvation Army fund being
raised in the drive here was boosted
more than $1,000 over the weekend
as the result of tag day, doughnut
sale and other features conducted by
members of fysome of the teams The
cash actually received thus far in the
campaign amounts to something over
$4,000. The benefit baseball games
played yesterday afternoon on the
Raritan Copper Works field, arranged
by the joint police and firemen's drive
committee, netted about 1925.
In order that everyone may have
the opportunity to swell the Golfers
Fund, the executive committee decid-
ed Saturday night to continue the
campaign throughout the week, hav-
ing it terminate on Saturday night,
just a week later than the period set
at the commencement OF the drive.
This action was taken since many of
the teams organized in various facto-
ries have not been able to make any
reports as Yet and are still soliciting
subscriptions. 1t is thought that af-
ter the factory returns have been re-
corded the books will show a total
above the $4,000 mark, which is half
way to the desired quota of S20,000.
County reports have been slow In
coming to headquarters here, and
announced this morning that he had
received only $500.
State Campaign.
Latest reports indicate that the
State has raised about $575,000 for
the Salvation Army's Home Service
Fund. This is a goodly sum, an evil
dence that the people of New Jersey
indorse the Salvation Army and the
purpose for which it conducted its
While the States quota has been
widely advertised as S750,000, it is not
known that this was set as a
maximum and that the minimum
quota, to cover the Army's actual
needs, was figured out as S574,000 or
slightly less than the amount raised.
Had the minimum quota been taken
as the goal, with the idea of going
over the top as far as possible, the
result would have been nominally diff
ferent, and New Jersey would have
swelled the list of States with a per-
feet score.

Practically All Local Men in

Practically all of the Perth Amboy-
ans who were in the 311th Infantry
received their discharges over the

those who had seen hard fighting at
st. Mihiel and the Argonne were well

The local men, who had been assign
ed to Camp Dix for rehabilitation,
started to receive their discharges as
early as Thursday and by Saturday
night practically all of the Amboy
soldiers in the 311th had completed
their work for Uncle Sam.

only too glad to be back in Goods

friends and families.
More New Jersey men who were in
the 319th Infantry, S0th Division ar
rived in New York today and will soon
be given their discharge. The New
Jersey men will probably be sent to
Camp Dix for demobilization.
The heat of the last two or three
days has also been instrumental in
making the returned soldiers get into
civilian clothes sooner than they do
otherwise, as they are issued only

Is it wise move to make a big
league manager out of a star player?
Undoubtedly there is considerable diff
ference Of opinion on this point. 1
have never regarded such move in a
favorable light. There are few cases
where the duties of manager have in
no way affected the play of the star.
but such cases are the exception. I
am discussing this because of rumors
that have been afoat for some time
making Iris Speaker the manager of
the Cleveland team.
Speaker is one of the greatest out
helders in the history of the game.
Not only is he a wonderful fielder. but
equally valuable with the bat. He is
the best left-handed thrower I have
ever seen, being strong and deadly
accurate. On the bases he is far from
slow That is some combination in
one player. Speaker is one of the
any line of business, as a rule, makes
enemies but Speaker, despite his bril-
liant record, is popular with players
in general and his own team in par
ticular. He is hard loser, fights for
every point in the game, but as a
player his worries cease when the
ANAL out is made. That is the differ
ence between player and manager.
Speaker has plenty of base ball
brains, an excellent knowledge of the
game and has the faculty of getting
along with his teammates as player

managerial find. On the other hand,
