FRENCH NOTIFIED Ru Assaciated Press

Paris. september ..-The Aus
 trian delegation at St. Germaine
 has informed the French peace com
 mission that it has received notice
 that Austria has accepted the peace
 treaty and that Dr. Karl Renner,
 head of the Austrian delegation
 has been charged with signing the
 document. Dr. Renner is now on
 his way to Paris. His signature
 will be affixed to the treaty at 10
 o'clock Wednesday morning.
 The notification was sent to tht peace conference Saturday evening 1T a letter signed by Peter Eichoff. one o1 the members of the Austrian delegation It announced that the national assem- blv had authorized Dr. Renner to sigr the treaty.
 Two documents were attached to the letter. The first dated September G. said the national assembly had de- clared that Austria must bow before necessity. The second constituted protest to the national assembly by rep resentatives of countries detached Iron Austria-Boh emians, Germans, karoly' jeans. Corinthians and others.
 The Bulgarian treaty has been fin ished and will be sent to the power; having limited interests in 1t tomor' row. The document will be communi' cated to the Bulgarian delegation dur ing the week.

CEREMONY INFORMAL

Paris, September 7.-Hurried ar engagements are being made for sigma lures of the Austrian treaty at St Germain Wednesday. The ceremony will be much less formal than that at Versailles, as it is believed necessary to rush signature of the document be- cause of the unstable condition of the Vienna government.
 The signing will take place in the Stone Age hall of St Germain cha teau, and much the same procedure will be followed as in the presentation of the original treaty to pr. Karl Ken ner, head of the Austrian delegation, last June, in the same room.
 There is much speculation as to whether the Balkan states will sign the treaty. Rumania and Jugo-Slavia are uncertain, the Jugo-Slavs still ne sotiating and apparently anxious to get reservation exempting Serbia and Montenegro from the minorities clause, at least It is unlikely, however, that Jugo-Sulavia will be permitted to sign with reservation, as China was denied the same privilege in connection with the German treaty. China could gain membership in the league of nations by signing the Austran treaty as efforts to get a clause into the Austrian treaty preventing any power from signing II which did not sign the German treaty failed.

 MT and Mrs. Wilson rested today in their suite in Des Moines hotel where they had spent their first night off thef special train since leaving Washington Wednesday, Tn the morning they at tended services, however, at the Central Presbyterian church and in the after noon went for an automobile ride.
 The president seemed to enjoy the ride immensely. On the way smaller car turned over in the ditch within sight Of the presidential party, and Mir. Wilson ordered his driver to stop and and in- uuired whether any one was hurt. He was assured that all those in the car had escaped injury.
 Dr. Grayson, the presidents physician. said MT. Wilson had been much refresh ed by his Sunday stop in Des Moines and was in good trim for the strenuous week before him. He said he would urge however, that the president make few rear platform speeches along the way.
 With the, exception of Tuesday. virtu- ally all of which will be spent in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., and Satur- day when the preseident will be in Ta- coma and Seattle, Washington, the pres Iidential special will be almost continu- ously on the go.

Warsaw. Saturday, September 6-The government issued the following note to- day with regard to Polands stand Tn the matter of upper Silesia:
 Poland has given evidence Of super human patience and irreproachable loy- alty towards her international engage ments. Our premier had the courage 10 declare the delegates sent by patriots or rpper Silesia that he would send to the silesian insurgents no military assist ance and would not violate a signed treaty. n,
 we fear that the premier's and To- Ia nd's condolences are in vain. The Ger man junkers, in concert with the com munists, are plotting war with Poiano. They rely on the exhaustion or .ne l;ad ,owers and the internal troubles Of the various states to keep them from dra wing the sword.

Delay in Ratifying League of Nations Agreement Will Hurt America, Says
 Noted Banker
6y Assoc,atse Prsss

New York, September s.-Renew-
 cd bolshevik efforts throughout
 Europe which will spread to Amer
 fen; further chaos among the newer
 nationalities abroad; starvation for
 millions of persons in Europe dur
 ing the coming winter. and the
 probable forcing of this country to
 enter the league of nations as
 novitiate hand in hand with Ger
 many will result if the United
 States Senate continues to delay
 ratification Of the peace treaty
 without change Thomas W. Lamont,
 of Morgan md company predicted
 in n statement issued here tonight.
 MT. Lamont who spent five months abroad with the American peace com mission serving as a member of the supreme economic council. the inter- allied commission and as one of the financial advisers to the United states delegation asserted that the whole world is crying for peace, for chance to renew it's normal life, and work. He added that this country by con- tinued inaction refuses to grant her consent to the settlements necessary"
 V mercial world that the action of the Senate might result in the nulliflcation of the treaty there has been an alarm ing fall in the rates of foreign exchange, MT. Lamont said.
 For this" he continued mo remedy can be had as long as the delay con tinues at Washington: no plan for the extension of foreign credits. so necessary to maintain America's export trade, can be evolved. It is hard to conceive the at titude of mind that insists upon such calamitous fumbling with the most crit- teal situation that the world has ever seen. The only explanation is that there is still almost incredible lack of under standing, both of the treaty provisions themselves and of the manner in which the affairs of the world await Amcrrca consent to peace.
 Mir. Lamont, who is a member of the republican party. defended the course oi President Wilson in the negotiations at Paris, asserting he had played no poll ties" and had acted with moderation, common sense and great patience. Charges that he had refused to consult with members of his delegation were characterized as untrue"
 Mir Lamont declared that "close ex- animation of the points which are styieo as dangerous by those senators who de- sire to amend the treaty, fails to disclose any perils whatever.
 "Why reopen the whole peace ncgotia' ticns?" he asked. Why let Europe ge from had to worse while we are discuss ing a. condition that does not exist ans that was never even contemplated a Paris?"

A mob broke into the county Jail shortly after midnight. took thexe- from two negroes held for the murder of George Dubose. carried them in automobiles into the out . skirts of the city. riddled them with bullets, put ropes around their necks and dragged them through the city streets, dropping one of the bodies in front of one of the leading hotels.
 Sherifrs deputies and police are searching for the other body.
 The sAeriff learned early in the night that there might be an nt- tempt to lynch a negro held in jail on the charge of attacking lit- tie white girl, so, on advice of Judge Simmons, he put the negro Ain an automobile and sent him to St. Augustine for snfe keeping.
 Arriving at the jail and not find ing this negro, the mob took the
 other two and put them to death. It is estimated that there were onl about fifty men in the crowd that gaine entrance to the county jail.
