At this writing the menace or an- other coal famine still hangS over the city. The coal supply is most uilcer- tain and affects, transportation so di- rsetly that the food supply is seriously invo.ved. The peasants still refuse to, let grain ccfae tu the city, and are boarding potatoes and other standard foads The Vienna papers charge that in tf.e agricultural districts there is ample food of all kinds. Returning travellers from country districts tell the hrEGry Viennese of milk and butter and cheese in plenty, as well as sugar.
 Ire farmers have made money until they are rich and, as the crown no longer has purchasing value to speak of, they do not want any more. Here tales are told of pianos, photographs, rugs and pictures filling peasant farm, houses where the city 'dwellers have exchanged them for food.
 The peasants have been warned that If Vienna really begins to starve this writer they may look for civil war. as the city dwellers will organize and arm and invade the agricultural districts.
 Eggs have practically. disappeared ernrl the city and there is this week a bare two weeks supply of grain and potatoes in reserve.

City Is Gripped by
Severe Epidemic Of
Measles; Disease Spreads

During May physicians in the city
reported 724 cases of measles, ac-
cording to records at the city health
bureau, indicating an epidemic of
the disease almost as serious as the
one a few years ago. DIR. J. M. j.
Raunick, city health officer, declar-
ed the situation is improving now
but said that the rapid spread of the
disease was largely caused by
thoughtless parents who did not call
a physician, have the illness of their
children diagnosed and remain under
quarantine.
Failure to do this caused much
of the trouble last month";" he said.
Parents know when a child is sick.
1t is their duty not only to the child,
but to the hundreds of other boys
and girls in the district in which
they lives to call a physician and
keep the child at home until it is
determined whether case of
measles is developing. The epidemic
is about at it's height now and should
abate with shorter school sessions
and more cooperation on the part
of the parents. 1t is not fair for one
mother or father to ignore the COM
plants of child and endanger the
health of a whole community"
During April 314 cases of measles
were reported; in March Al; Feb
ruary and January 2, a total of
1902 since the first of the year. In
the epidemic few years ago about
$500 cases were reported in approx
mately two months.

BEEF PRICES TO
GO DOWN DURING
NEXT SIX MONTHS
Gradual Reduction in Meats Is
Forecast by the Head of
Swift Plant Here

A gradual decline in the price of
beef during the next six months is
seen by c. A. Hibler, general man.
ager of Swift & Company's plant,
at North and Seventh streets. The
consumer, however, will not get the
benefit of price reductions for some
little time, due to the fact that the
dealers are now stocked up on high
er priced meats which must be sold
before the lower prices begin to
reach the public.
Pork prices, wholesale, are one
to two cents lower a pound than
they were at the peak of the war
market" said Mr.. Hibler to-day, in
response to a query as to how the
promise of lower meat prices held
out by Washington would affect the
retail markets. This is so small as
scarcely to be felt in the retail
trade. But there is better prospect
for lower prices in beef. This is
largely due to the fact that unusu-
ally large numbers of grass-fed cat
tie are reaching the markets to take
the places of the more expensive
granted steers. Then, too, there is
a general tendency downward in the
price of beef on the hoof, due to
other conditions of the market. This
turn from granted to grass-fed
cattle is an annual occurrence, and
no great reductions are to be antici-
pated imm ediately, but believe the
next six months will see a gradual
and material reduction in the price
of all grades of beef. Most of the
dealers are stocked up on high
priced meats and it will he some
time before the benefit of lower
prices reaches the consumer"

AUSTRIAN TERMS
NOT UNLIKE HUN
PEACE DEMANDS
Pact Given German Allies at
st. Germain Follows Nearly
Similar Outline
By Associated Press.


st. German, June 2.-Following
is a summary of the conditions of
peace as presented to the Austrian
plenipotentiaries at st. Germain-en-
Laye. to-day:
The conditions of peace of the
Allied and associated powers, with
the exception of military, repara-
tions, financial and certain boundary
clauses, were handed to the Aus
trian plenipotentiarie at st. Ger
main to-day. Those clauses which
are not yet ready for presentation
will be delivered as soon as possible,
the Austrians in the meantime hav-
ing the opportunity to begin work
on the greater part of the treaty in
an effort to facilitate final de-
cision.
The Austrian treaty follows ex-
actly the same outline as the Ger
man and in many places is identical
with it except for the change in
! name. Certain specific clauses
which applied only to Germany are
of course omitted and certain new
clauses included, especially as re-
CARDS the new states created out of
the former Austro-Hungarian en-
pire, and the protection of the
rights of the racial. religious and
linguistic minorities in Austria,
Tchecho Slovakia, Rumania and
Serb, Croat, Slovene state.
Must Recognize Neighbors
Austria is left by the treaty a
state of from six million or seven
million people inhabiting terri
tory of between five thousand and
six thousand square miles. She is
required to recognize the complete
independence of Hungary, Tchecho
Slovakia and the Serbo Slovene state,
and to cede other territories which
previously in union with her COM
, posed the empire of Austria Hun
