 The entire assemblage. which had risen upon the entry of the Austrians, seated itself. M. Clemenceau alone remained standing and with scarcely an instant in his pause the session started.
 Ears which were eagerly strained tc hear from M C1emenceau some striking phrases on the origin O. the war or Austria's guilt and punishment were disappointed The tiger refrained iron, any political alluson in his short speech. He merely outlined the procedure of the

 Washington, June 2.-RepOrts of the alleged massacres of Jews in Poland and other countries of eastern Europe justify a rebuke to the governments of the cOun- tries by the United States Con- gress, Representatives Siegel, La Guardin and Goldfogle of New York declared today at hearing before the House foreign affairs committee on resolutions relating to the alleged i'll treatment.
 The new Polish government. in turn, was defended against the pOgrOm charges by Representative kleczka of Wisconsin, who as- serted the reports of massacres were of .'Germnn origin, designed to show that Poland was incap- able of self-government." The Poles in this country, he asserted, cOurted an investigation of their native land.

visions are added, however, for forme ' Austro-Hungarian nationals acquiring an allied nationality. Similar to those in the German treaty, relating to the inhabitants of Alsace Lorraine, their contracts are maintained subject to cancellation by their governments. Austria undertakes to recognize any agreement or convention made by the allies to safeguard the interests of their nationals in any undertakings constituted under Austro- Hungarian law, which operates in territories de- tached from the former Austrian empire and to transfer any necessary docu- ments and information in regard to them.
 FREEDOM OF TRANSIT
 The clauses as to freedom of transit are the same in the Austrian as in the Ger man treaty, except for the omission of provisions affecting Germany alone and the insertion of specific clauses grant ing Austria transit privileges through former Austro-Hungarian territory in order to assure her access to the Adri- atic.
 These privileges are to be amplified by specific conventions with the states con- cerned
 MISCELLANEOUS
 Miscellaneous provisions are, after the
 
 of the German treaty binding Austria to accept any agreements made by the allied and associated powers with Ger many, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, to abandon all pecuniary claims against any power signing the treaty and to accept the decrees of the allies or allied prize courts. Austria also agrees to accept any conventions adopted by the allies as to traffic in arms, and the allies in turn, o-tr of any mission property falling to them The treaty is to cyme into force when signed by Austria and three of the princi- pal powers and to be effective for the in- dividual states on the deposit of their specific notifications.

negotiations and explain ad that only
 part of the treaty was ready. He asked that any replies or observations to such
 parts of the treaties as were laid today
 before the Austrians be submitted in writing within 15 days.
 M Clemenceau spoke in easy, conver-
 sabonal tone, befittin.y suca routine re- srks, and at the end cal ed for trans lations, which on ihis occasion were given in Italian as well as German and English.
 The French official WHO attempted the
 German rendition opened ry addressing "tke delegates of the Republic of Ger mar. Austria" He was immediately
 stopped and the diplomatic blunder in the apparent recognition of the Germanic att~it utes of the Iew reIu blic corrected The translator was now so nervous that presently he was caught telling the Austrians that their replies must be yer bal. instead of written
 pr. Karl Renner, head of the Austrian delegation, rose to reply at the end of the translation, but M. Clemenceau waved him to his seat to permit M. Dutasta, secretary of the conference, to place before him the text of the skele- ton draft of the treaty. The Austrian delegate then rose and read his speech. He caused considerable surprise by
  remarks.
 STRAIN RELAXES M. Clemenceau and Marshal Foch, the latter sitting with the French delega- | ton. were obviously pleased at the change of the language. As pr. Renner proceeded with his discourse, revealing | tone of moderation and absence. of re- crimination or boasting, the strain which l had hung over the plenipotentiaries re- faxed and all settled down to calm and reasoned appreciation Of the Austrian plea.
 Dr. Renner read his speech through to the end without any attempt at oratorical establishment, though speaking with deep earnestness and sincerity. The English translator rose as the Aus trian finished and furnished the version to which President Wilson. Secretary Lansing and Henry White listened close ly The attention of the assembly wav- cred as the proceedings passed into Ital- ian This version was listened to only
 by the Italian delegates, many of the
 other representatives indulging in sub
 dued discussion of the Austrian plenipo-
 teniary's thesis.
 Almost before those assembled real
 ized, the Italian translator reached the
 end of his labors. M. Clemenceau was on his feet and put quick question
 Any remarks? Then the sessions is
 closed''
 pr. Renner and his colleagues, accom- panied by the secretaries and Austrian
 correspondents, filed out of one door.
 The associated delegates. waiting only
 until they had left the room, departed
 by the opposite portal.
 The Austrian delegates were surprised and seemingly by no means pleased at the translation of pr. Renner's speech into Italian. They said that Dr. Renner
 spoke in French to simplify the proceed
 ings. Had they known that it was in
 tended to give the Italian version, they would have insisted upon their preroga-
 tive of speaking in German.
 NORWAY REPLIES NEGATIVELY
 Paris, June 2.-NOrway has refused to join in a blockade of Germany in case the German delegates refuse to sign the peace treaty.
