AWAITING PEACE TREATY
Terms Will Not be Presented to Vi
emma Delegation Until
Late Next Week

Paris, May 19.-li:c Austrian
peace treaty, according to irdica-
tions, win not be reads for presan.a-
ten before the lstt2: part C next
weeil. 1t is understood that the
failure OF Hungarian delegates t.
arrive, arl the uncertainty regard
ing conditions there, caused c5n-
siderable reGraft of portions of the
document concerning overlapping
questions in the former dual mon
archy.
Meanwhile members Of the Aus
trian delegation at st. Germain have
as yet done little except to accustom
themselves to the historical and
beautiful place. They spend long
hours in bed and seem to enjoy the
abundant meals, which are probably
in sharp contrast to what 5hey Knew
n Vienna. The memb.' = are "arc.y
SC N outside thair villas and nave
net ct, according to al information,
attempted any serious labors nor dis
patched one courier to Vienna.
The cnly exception to this easy life
has been furnished by the four food
experts with the delegation who had
another conference today with the
intcr-Allicd representatives concern
ing methods and details of revictu.
aliz;ng Vienna and what is left of
Austria.
The ceremony CT exchanging Gre
dentials with the Austrians probably
will occur Monday or Tuesday in the
Hotel Henry Fourth. Jules Cam
bonx. the chairman of the Inter-Al-
lied Commission of Credentials, and
the other members vii! be received
by a guard of honor of dismounted
chasseurs who will be withdrawn.
Before the Austrians, headed by
Chancellor Renner, arrive SO as tc
avoid, according to the Austrians
any military honors, tomorrow vii
be a big church going day at st
| Germain.
1t is fully apparent that in tn:
negotions with Austria Italy play
no secondary role.

DECEMBER 18th is THE
TIME LIMIT ON BRAND
RE-RECORDING

Hundreds of Arizona stock
are in danger ofllosing their title
to brands because of their neg
lect to file applications for re-re
cording in accordance with the
new law, declares Ed. w. Ste
phens, secretary of the Live
Stock Sanitary Board of Arizona.
Out of 10000 brands recorded
during the past 20 years approx
lmately only one-fourth have
been filed for re-recording. De-
cember 18th has been fixed by
law as the final date on which
applications for recording may
be filed with the Livestock Board
After that date it will be neces
sary for the owner of livestock
to secure a new brand and pay :
SIS fee for the same. All brands
which have not been recorded
by that time will be subject to
re distribution and distributed to
applicants in The order filed with
out regard to their previous use.
From the above it will be seer
that immediate action must be
taken by stockmen if they woulo
avoid endless confusion, not only
with reference to their own
brands but to the livestock in
1ustry in general.
All applications for re-record-
ing of brands should be address.
ed to Ed. w. Stephens, secretary
of the Live Stock Sanitary Boaro
of Arizona, StateCapitol, Phoenix
Secretary Stephens desires t.
make clear that those who have
already filed applications need
have no concern. 1t will take
several weeks to complete the
work Of re recording and there
may be some delay in the matter
# receiving certificates, but
hose on file on or before De
ember 18th may rest assured
hat their interests will he full,
