CURRENT EVENTS
Peace Terms for Austria Are Pre-
pared by the Allied Dele
oates at Paris.
GERMANS STILL PROTESTING
Ebert and Schedemana Insist Treaty
Must Not Be Signed, and Allies
Get Ready for Further Action
-Kolchak Plans to Crush
Soviet Armies.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The allied peace delegates at Paris
were occupied last week mainly in pre-
pairing to hand out to Austria what is
coming to her, and in listening to the
walls, official and unofficial, of the
Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria's delegates, headed by Chan
cellor Karl Renner, were received and
housed at st. German. They were
treated with a good deal more cordial
ity than were the Germans at Yer
sailles, and were given quarters in
pleasant villas that overlook the Seine
valley and Paris, with no high fences
or sentr.eS to restrict their move
ments. In return, the Austrians ap-
peared in good humor and hopeful Of
lenient treatment, and seemed to ap-
preciate the good nature displayed by
the cosmopolitan crowd of journalists
and others that met them. Chancel-
lor Renner spoke in German but ex-
planned that this was because he was
unable to speak French, his courtesy
in this contrasting with the behavior
of Count Won Brockdorff-Ra at
Versailles. In responding to the
greetings of the allies representatives
he said: 81 hope may go away with
as joyful heart as bring" Other
members of the delegation intimated
none too strongly, that they would not
be able to sign the treaty unless il
provided for the union of German BO
hemia and German Tyrol with Ger
many. 1t is assumed they will accept
the pact even if that annexation is
not permitted.

make important alterations. Through
out the latter class of manufactures
there has been reduction in the num-
ber of employees. Some of the war
plants whose contracts have not yet
expired have kept part of their per
sonnel busy by reducing the working
day to nine. eight and seven hours.
The effect on Tabor may be seen
from the figures of employment in
some of the great Frcnch industrial
centerS. The total number of employ
ees has been reduced now to 1914, ,642
men and 4S.76S women.

Despite protests. sdenunciationS and
wailing, it was still the opinion of the
well-informed in Paris that the Ger
mans would sign the treaty before the
expiration of the period of grace al
lowed them. The possibility that they
would persist in their refusal, how
ever, has been amply provided for and
the plans of the allies in that con-
tingency are complete. Marshal Foch
already has been sent to the Rhine
land by the council of four to take
such military action as may be neces-
sary and the council also has made it's
plans for the immediate re-impoSition
of the blockade on Germany. AT Co
blenz General Pershing said the Amer

and their allies. A strong
play also will be made to secure the
sympathy of Socialists all over the
world for what the Hun leaders call
the German Socialist state.
One of the most seriously taken of
the German objections was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with it was sent a draft of an
international agreement on labor law.
To this the allies replied at length,
showing that the tgeaty fully covered
all the points raised and that its pro-
visions were more satisfactory than
those in the German proposition,
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are "of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which. the German delegate

the realization of reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
a right to expect after the cruel trial
to which the world has been subjected

the economic aspect of the peace
terms, declaring that if enforced they
would bring death to "many millions

While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann and others were
inflaming the German people with v!o-
lent denunciations of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit to it. All of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment of the
fourteen points by the allies, and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
traitor to mankind and a weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed in him by the people
of Germany. President Ebert told his
applauding hearers that he feared an
outbreak of psychic furor teutoni-
Gus" within a few days and that the
wrath of the soul of the people when
it reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as a result Of the deep
disappointment and anger born of fury
and just indignation.
The position taken by the govern
ment heads is supported by all fac
tions except the Independent Social
ists--Haases crowd-who, while de
claring the treaty oppressive, advise
that it be signed. This may be ex
plained by the probability that if the
treaty is signed the present govern
nlent will be forced to give way to one

In some ways the treaty with Aus
tria, it Is said, will be like that with
Germany, Austria is to lose her en-
tire navy, according to the reports.
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimited she will
find that her southern frontier is push
ed back so far that Italy will have
not only the Trentino and Trieste, but
also all the strategic passes and
heights in the Alps which the Italians
say are necessary to their future Sc
curity This is in accordance with
the secret treaty of London. In the
matter of reparation Austria of course
will be required to pay certain sums,
but these will be small in comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water
ways are much like those in the Ger
man treaty The breaking up of the
AuStro-Hungarian empire has result
ed in reducing Austria to a rather
small fourth rate power without direct
access to the sea, and it is the aim of
at least some of the allied nations to
keep her in that condition. By her
self she is comparatively harmless !;
united with Germany, she would help
largely to make up a nation that might
again threaten the peace Of the world.

SEEK WARRANT HERE
FOR INDIANA CRIME

Two army officers today called upon
States Attorney Wiley, asking him for
warrants for the arrest of a Laporte.
Ind, soldier accused of embezzIins
$500 from his comrades. As the crime
was committed in Indiana and the de
fendant is now in the south. there wa
nothing the states attorney could do
in the case. The fugitive is not q
resident of La Sale County nor ha,
ever resided in the county. Mir. Wiley
referred the officers to the Indiana au-
thorities, where, they said, they would
take their charges in an effort to get
the man placed under arrest.
They happened to be going through
Ottawa and decided to try their luck
at getting warrants here.
