BERLIN, May 25. Chancellor
scheidemann informed the United
Press today that Germany's counter
proposals to the peace terms will de-
mand immediate admission OF Cor
many to the league of nations.
The counter proposals, the chancei-
lor said, place the needs OF France
foremost, agree to restoration OF de-
stroyed French territory and full rep
aration for ruined coal mines.
Germany also agrees to respect Bel
gium's claims, Scheidemarln declared.
inc accepts the Limitation. OF 100000 for
Its army in the future and is ready
for complete disarmament on land
and sea, provided other nations Will
agree to do likewise.
Scheidemann said Germanys de-
mands for admission to tho league OF
nations was based on President VIII
sons fourteen points, especially tho
points on self determination and
peace of economic Justice.
Germany's terms will be handed the
allies soon, he announced.
"We designated the allies terms as
unacceptable in their present forn,"
said Scheidemann. "Nowywe must use
our entire strength and ability In be-
half Of our counter proposals. They
do not seek to remove our hard obli-
cations. They place foremost the
needs Of France which requires re-
building and aIIeviation of it's war
burdens If it Is not to become bank
rupt. Therefore, we offer unreserved-
Iy to rebuild the destroyed territory
of northern Fance and to give full
reparation for the output OF the coal
mines which were destroyed. We go
even farther than it was assumed we
would 90. The financial experts of
the world will be astounded by that.
"As far as our counter proposals
concern Belgium, they are in agree
ment with President Wilson's pro-
gram.
"We accept the prescribed reduo-
ton in disarmament to an army OF
100 900; and we are prepared for COM
pletc disarmament on land and sea IT
the other nations will agree to do like
wise. We are desirous OF freeing

Austrian Peace Treaty.
rBy Fred S. Ferguson, United Press
Staff Correspondent.
PARIS, May 27-The big four today
continued consideration of the Aus
trian peace treaty including financial
clauses. The treaty, 1t is learned, still
has many incomplete provisions. Be
cause of this and because it Is neces-
sary to spend much time in considera-
ton Of notes emanating from German
delegates, 1t is not considered likely
the treaty will be handed to the Aus
trians before the end of this week and
that action may possibly be deferred
until next week.
Completion of the Austrian treaty is
teing delayed because Italy is again
rlanifesting stubborn attitude re-
garding the Adrtatic situation.
It is understood the italian dele
gates are repeating the tactics they
used before their recent temporary
withdrawal from the peace confer
ence, intimating they will retire from
the sessions once more unless agree
ment on their claims to Adriatic terri
tories Is reached soon.
The question of responsibilities is
also offering difficulties. The Ital-
ians, according to advices received
here, have occupied the town of Sokia.
Ia Asia Minor, fifty miles southeast OF
Smyrna. Should they occupy the
nearby harbor, they would be in the
position Of rivaling Smyrna, it is
pointed out.

declared unofficially they will not

cuss the treaty, and that their coun-
ter proposals will be ready by Thurs

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Senate
progressiyes today began their open
air. fight on Senator Penrose as chair
man Of the finance committee. Hav-
ing forced an open republican caucus,
the first in congressional history, to
get their anti Penrose views before
the country, ''progressives" urged that
the republican committee list agreed
upon yesterday be agreed upon by
striking out Penroses name as chair
man.
They have agreed, Senator Borah
said, to abide by the decision of the
open caucus and not carry their fight
against Penrose personally to the
floor
The fight on Warren as chairman
CT appropriations was abandoned
some days ago on the ground that
there were enough men on the COM
gram is observed.
The continuing fight on "Penrose-
ism will make clear to the country.
Senator Borah said today, that 1t is
system and not man the progress
sives oppose.
1--WE stand for system Of taxation
that viii take from those who make
big profits and enjoy huge Incomes,
the bulk of the country's prosperity"
said Borah.
1--WE will oppose to the limit Of our
power any tax measures which do not
recognize this principle, or whicn
seek to make these least able to pay
and who are indirectly taxed in other
ways the bearers of an undue share
of the tax burden"
Progressives plan series OF con-
ferences throughout the session on
this and other legislative questions.
They have found in recent confer
ences that by acting together they can
obtain quicker recognition from party
leaders, progressives said. They made
it plain today that they will do moth
ing to endanger republican control
Borah who recently threatened to
leave the party unless it took some
stand on the league OF nations, is I'M
derstood to have received "satisfac-
tory" assurances as to aid from re-
publican leaders in this fight against
the league.

STATE LOSES IN POPULATION
Birth Rates Dropped and Fla Claimed
MANY Victims in Last 20 Months

Albany. Oct 2-The State lost near
ly 10000 in population in the last
twenty months because of the great
fall in the birth rate and deaths due
to the influenza epidemic last fall and
winter, according to DR.. Hermann NJ.
Biggs. State commissioner of health
in a statement made public tonight
The death rate for July and August,
last however, was the lowest on
record.
"The marked decline in the birth
rate, which is due largely to war con
ditions and partly to the influenza ep
idemic represents loss of potential
population of more than $4,000 since
the beginning of 1915" said DR.. Bisgs,
and If there is added. to this the ex-
cess mortality of more than $1,000 due
to the influenza epidemic we find the
total loss since January1, 1918, to be
almost 10000 without including the
losses of New York State men in
service.
