Those clauses which are not yet
ready for presentation will be de-
livered as soon as possible, the Aus
TRANS in the meantime having the
opportunity to begin work on the
greater part of the treaty in an eff
fort to facilitate a final decision.
The Austrian treaty follows exact
ly the same outline as the German,
and in many places is identical with
it, except for the change in name.
Certain specific new clauses included,
especially as regards the new states
created out of the former Austro-
Hungarian empire and the protection
of the rights of the racial, religious
and linguistic minorities in Austria,
Czecho- Slovakia, Roumania and Serb
Croat-Slovene state.
Austria is left by the treaty a
state of from 100000 to 100000
people, inhabiting a territory Of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 square miles.
She is required to recognize the com
plete independence of Hungary, Cze-
cho Slovakia and the Serb roat-
Slovene- state, and to- cede other
territory which previously in union
with her composed the empire of
Austria Hungary, with its popula-
ton of over 100000 people.
To DemobiIze Navy.
Austria agreed to accept the league
of nations covenant and the labor
charter, to renounce all her extra
European rights, to demobilize her
whole naval and aerial forces, to ad-
NIT the right of trial by the allied
and associated powers of her na-
tionals guilty of violating the law and
customs of force, and to accept
detailed provisions similar to those
Of the German treaty as to economic
relations and freedom of transit.
OF the following summary part one
of the treaty containing the covenant
of the league of nations and part
twelve, containing the labor conven-
ton, are omitted as being identical
with corresponding sections Of the Ger
man treaty. Part six, dealing with
prisoners of war and graves, and part
eleven, with aerial navigation, are also
identical except for the substitution
of names, and are likewise omitted.
Part thirteen of the German treaty
containing guarantees Of execution is
not paralleled in the Austrian treaty.
Preamble.
The preamble is longer and more
detailed than in the German summary
and is as follows:
"Whereas, on the request of the for
mer imperial and royal Austro-Hunga-
rian government, an armistice was
granted to Austria-Hungary on Novem-
Der 3, 1918, by the principal allied and
associated powers in order that
treaty of peace might be concluded,
and,
Whereas, the allied and associated
powers are equally DESTROYS that the
war in which certain among them
were successfully involved, directly or
indirectly, against Austria, and which
originated in the declaration of war
against Serbia on July %, 1914, by the
former imperial and royal AustrO-
Hungarian government, and in the hos
tllities conducted by Germany in alli-
ance with Austria-Hungary should be
replaced by a firm, just and durable
peace; and
"Whereas the former Austro-Hun-
garian monarchy has now ceased TO
exist, and has been replaced in Aus
tria by republican government; and
whereas, the principal allied and
associated powers have already rec
ognized that the Czecho-Slovak state,
in which are incorporated certain por-
lions of said monarchy, is a free,
Independent and allied state; and
Whereas, the said powers have rec
ognized the union of certain portions
of the said monarchy with the terri
tory of the kingdom of Serbia as q
free, independent and allied state, I'M

state; and
