Germany Should Refuse
TO Sign, Asserts Envoy
Cen. Count Montgelos Declares
Terms Condemn Teutonic
Workingmen to Slavery

BERNE, May 26.-Germary should
refuse to sign the military and econ
omic terms of the peace treaty, which
are not acceptable, according to a
statement made by General Count Max
Montgelas, one of the German dele
gates at Versailles, to the correspond
ent Of the "Neueste Nachrichten," of
Berlin, and quoted in a Munich dis
patch received here
He says the military terms do not
allow Germany sufficient number of
troops to maintain order, the recent
events in Berlin and Munich being
cited as proof of this statement. Gen
eral Montgelas also says a profes
slonal army is a grave danger from a
democratic viewpoint. He adds that
the acceptance of the economic clauses
would condemn German workingmen
to slavery"
PARIS, May 26 (By The Associated
Press). - General Count Max Mont
gelas, one of the members of the Ger
man peace mission, who had intended
to go to Berlin with Professor Weber
and Herr Dietrich, other delegates who
left last night, postponed his de-
parture at the last moment. After
seeing his colleagues off at the depot
here he returned to Versailles by auto
mobile.

Weeks Delay for
Austrian Terms
Ne,U States Likely To Be
Relieved Of Bearing Full
Quota of Reparations

PARIS, May 26 (By The Associated
Press).-lt is probable that the presen-
tatlon or the peace terms to the Aus
trian delegation will be delayed until
next week, according to Reuters, Linn
tied. Delays in completing the drafts
of certain sections are said to be re-
sponsible.
The section Of the treaty which is
the main cause of the delay is that
regarding reparations, on which it is
considered probable that the powers
will execute decided change of front,
the states formerly within the Austro-
Hungarian Empire and now liberated
being relieved from bearing their pro-
portionate share of the reparation pay
ments.
These states will also be authorized,
under the pending plan, to take over
public property without compensating
Austria-Hungary.
New States Get Hearing
Representatives of the new states
carved out of the former Hapsburg
Monarchy were given a hearing to-day
before the reparations commission to
present their objections to the pro-
posed solution of the Austro- -Hungari-
an financial problem, under which they
would be held responsible for their
share of the prewar debt, the war
debt, the war issue of currency, and
reparations, and would be required to
compensate Austria and Hungary as
they will be constituted in the future
for the value of the public buildings
orfN Io ho,
The protests against this great bur-
den were met sympathetically by the
council Of four, which sent the ques-
tlon to the reparations sub-commisson
for rehearing. This sub commission
Will be supplemented by Franco British
repre- tatives, who are understood to
be opposed to any change. The British
representatives delegated are: General
Smuts and John M. Keynes, and the
French are Captain Andre Tardieu and
Louis Loucheur.
The belief is held here that a new
report will be made exempting the new
states from any payments on account
OF reparatlon or public property taken
over.
War Debt Held in France
1he prime factor In the negotiations
heretofore has been the fact that about
three billion francs Of the Austrian
pre-war debt is held in France. and
the French government has promised to
secure repayment to its nationals.
Hence it has been anxious to distribute
the financial burden, in order to pre-
vent the bankruptcy of the new Austria
and Hungary.

her forces to $4,000 within two months

1t will be declared that in spite Of
internal disorders and the necessity for
defending her frontiers, Germany thus
agrees to disarm ahead of all the other
powers. 1t is pointed out that this
gives adequate proof of Germany's de-
termination to renounce all militaris-
tic and imperialistic tendencies.
The German peace delegation TODAY
sent three new notes to the secretariat
of the peace conference. The notes deal
respectively, with reparations and
responsibilities, German property in
Allied countries and German religious
missions abroad

'sBig 4" Takes Up
Bulgarian Terms
Sofia Government, Like
That of Turkey, Gaze
Up Internationally

PARIS, May 26.-The council of fopr
to-day began consideration of the Bull
garian peace terms.
The arn1istice between Bulgaria and
the Allies, which has formed the basis
of negotiations between the Sofia gov
ernment and the peace conference, was
signed September 80, 1918, at Salonica,
Its terms were purely military and
contained nothing of political nature.
Resting temporarily on the military
provisions which forced the Bulgarians
to evacuate Serbia and Greece, demob-
ilize their army and submit to Allied
military occupation, it was stated that
the armistice would remain in opera
tion without extension until the final
peace was signed. The armistice con-
vention made no disposition of King
Ferdinand.
The position of Bulgaria is similar to
thas of Turkey, as both these German
allies surrendered Internationally on
the battlefield and virtually were forced
to submit to a dictared peace. With

So Years, Asks Peace
Delegate Of Small European
Nation Goes to Paris to
Open NEGOTIATIONS With Foes

VIENNA, May "a (By The Associated
Press ).-Prince Edward of Liechten-
stein left here to-day for Paris in an
effort to obtain peace at the peace
conference on the ground that he
wishes to conclude peace with Ger
many, with which Liechtenstein has
been in state of war for ffty-three
years. Prince Edward carries Gre
dentials from Prince Johann II, the
relgnlng Prince of Liechtenstein, and
IS accompanied by the President CT
German-Austria, DR.. Seitz.
The prince said he was a strong
supporter of the league of nations.
He will lay before the peace confer
ence a protest against the joining of
the province Of Vorarlberg to Switz-
erland on the ground that the resi-
dents Of Liechtenstein wish to be left
alone End not cut off from Austria.
Prince Johann owns real estate valued
at S40,000,000 in Austria.
I.iechtenstein, the third smallest
state in Europe, lies between the prov
inca of Vorarlberg and Switzerland.
1t has population of about 10000.
For more than two centuries Liech-
tenstein was German state, but in
1866, when Austria and Prussia went
to war, Liechtensteln changed its al
legiance to Austria. 1t is probable
that diplomatic relations were severed
at that time, which may account for
the fact that Iiechtenstein has consia

The small state has no army and it's

government is constitutional mon
archy. Prince Johann, who is one of
the wealthiest citizens of Austria, re-
sides mostly at Vienna.
Liechtenstein declared it's neutrality
in the European war in June, 1915, but
it was included IN the area under cont
mcrclal blockade by the Allies.

Paris Hears Wilson
Kept Terms Secret

DARIS, May 26.-The echo de
Paris" to-day declares that it
was on the request Of President Will
son that the heads of the Allied and
associated powers have declined to
permit publication of the full text of
the peace treaty presented to the
Germans. President Wilson, adds
the newspaper, "foresaw inconvs-
nience and risk in opening an impor-
tant discussion in tho United States
during his absence"
Dispatches from American CORE
spondents in Paris have stated that
it was understood the chief opposi-
tion to making the treaty public
came from Premier Lloyd George,
although President Wilson later had
approved the British Premier's view.
1t was stated, however, that while
Mr.. Lloyd George was absent from
Paris the week before last the re-
naming government heads tentative
ly agreed to the publication of the
financial and territorial sections of
the treaty, owing to the demand of
the French Chamber of Deputies to
see the document. When Mr.. Lloyd
George returned he declined to give
his approval to the plan, however,
and it was abandoned.
In the British House of Commons,
on May 10, Andrew Bonar Law, the
government leader, stated that the
council of four, for reasons that
could not be disclosed, considered the
publication in full of the peace terms
undesirable.

Council for Plebiscite
In the ALund Islands

PARIS, May 26.-The Swedish gov

tween Sweden and Finland at the en-.
trance to the Gulf of Bothnia, in which
the peace conference is asked that :

ncte, which was handed to the peace

taking into consideration as soon as
possible the question of the rights OF
the population of the Aland Islands II

the necessary guarantees, whether the
archipelago is to belong to Sweden or
to Finland.
The royal government presumes
that on account of the PRINCIPLES ev-
pressed at the peace conference Sweden
Will be allowed to take part in the
discussion of this question. It ia need
less to add that the royal government
greatly wishes that if the plebjscito
gives the islands to Sweden measures

ton of military buildings in the arcbi-
