The Indemnity Provision and the

State Are Main Features Of the
Treaty Now in the Making.

Paris.-On May s the council of fouc
with Premier Orland of Italy present
began to arrange the program for the
presentation of peace terms to the
Austrian, Hungarian and Bulgarian
delegates. The Austrian treaty has
begun to take form. Portions of il
already have been drafted.
1t appears that instead of Germany
being required to pay the entire in
demnity demanded by the allies, CON
siderable sum will be demanded of
Austria, the estimate of this sum at
present being 5,0OO,OOO,O00 crowns.
This indemnity provision. and the
delimitation of the frontiers of the
new state, will be the main features
OF the treaty now in making. Provis-
ION is to be made for dividing Aus
tria- Hungary's pre-war debt among the
new states formed from territory for
merry belonging to that empire.
The frontiers between German Aus
ira and Italy and probably the Adri-
attic settlement will also figure in the
Austrian treaty.

prepared for the terms as actually laid
down in the printed copy of the doc

ALLURE OF GERMANS TO SIGN
PEACE TERMS WILL MEAN
OCCUPATION.
Take Treaty or Leave IL. Is Position
Of victors, Vino Are Prepared to
March Into Hunland IL Necessary
to Enforce a Just Peace.

LondOn.-ShOuld the Germans refuse
to sign the peace treaty, which does
not seem probable, according to the
latest adyices received here, they can
expect the allies TO at once begin a
march upon Berlin. And there will be
many enthusiastic wearers of the uni.
form who will be glad TO complete the
journey they began before the collapse
Of the Hun fighting machine.
IL is declared that all military ar
engagements have been made for the
allied armies 10 advance in exactly the
same way as they would have done had
Germany not accepted the armistice
terms.
According to a dispatch from Cob
LEM the impression gained by Ameri-
can officers through talking with Ger.
mans regarding the peace terms is that
many of them are bitter and sullen,
but are inclined to resign themselves
to accept any terms, no matter how
harsh. No concrete plan of action has
been suggested in the event the Ger
man delegates at Versailles refuse to
sign the treaty.
American officers say the common
people in the occupied area have wide
ly divergent views, but that as a whole
they appear more or less stunned.
Many of them seem crushed, but 9th.
ers are showing a spirit of bravado.
One American who had circulated
freely among the civilians reported
that none of them expected that Ger
many would accept the terms. They
said they could not see how the people
would be able TO pay the indemnity
demanded if their commerce was re-
stricted and all their colonies confis-
Gated, and, in addition, Germany had
to cede territory belonging to the main
land.
But there is one thing the Germans
can bank upon. They will either sign
the peace terms or face an invasion by
the allied forces, who will take charge
in Germany and force a just peace
should the Huns decline to accept the
terms offered.

WORKING ON AUSTRIAN TREATY
Council of Four May be Ready to Re.
port During Week.

Paris.-The council of four spent the
greater part of Monday on the Aus
trian boundaries and completed the
task of defining them Monday after
noon i'll session with the foreign min
lister. Such progress was made that
the members of the council believe that
the Austrian treaty may be completed
during the week.
President Wilson spent some time
with the American commissioners who
have been considering the various
phases of the peace treaty. 1t was
pointed out that there are so many
points of similarity between the Aus
trian and German treaties that an
enormous amount of time would be
saved by preparing the document re-
lating to Austria at once.

Aswell is thoroughly disappointed over

he introduced his resolution, the under
standing was that the rates were to be
reduced, some one third and some one
half.

COURT oVERRULEs BURLEso%.B

WASHINGTON, April q. Members of
Congress who have been steadily oppos-
ing what they term the high-handed and
autocratic policy of Postmaster General
BuIleson are much interested in the VIC
tory Of the State of Pennsylvania in the
courts in preventing him from increasing
telephone rates on his own fiat and with
out the slightest authority of law
Judge Kunkel Of Harrisburg, who rem
dered the decision, holds that "neither
the President nor the Postmaster General
was acting officially in changing the rates
and tolls, and they acted beyond the
scope of their powers" Though ne does
not deny the right of the President to
operate the telegraph for war purposes.
Judge Kunkel says: "When the Presi-
dent attempts to use the defendants lines
and 1t does not appear that it is for war
purposes, but on the contrary appears to
De for purpose having no apparent or
direct relation to The prosecution of the
war, 1t must be shown, we take it, that
ne is using it for lawful and constitu-
tonal end. The necessity out of which
his power arises does not appear IN the
present case"
