the status of third class nation, will

AS in the German treaty the first
section Of the Austro-Hungarian pacts
will be the league Of nations. Other
salient points the United Press l.
able to state will be as follows:
Boundaries.
Austria will be reduced to what is
now known as German-Austria Banat

PARIS, May 12.--The allies were
expected to reply today to the latest
German communication regarding the
peace terms.
These communications were con-
tanned in two notes filed with the
French foreign office by Count Brock
dorf-Rantzau, head of the enemy
delegation The first stated that
Germany already has many Of the
reforms contained in the labor sec
tion Of the treaty and proposed that
an International law conference be
; held In Versailles at once to revise
this article. The second asked that
the 100000 German war prisoners be
repatriated as soon as the treaty is
signed, and that they also be guaran-
teed adequate food and clothing.
The latest communication followed
two submitted by the Germans last
week, one Of which asked immediate
admission Of Germany to the leaNie
Of nations. The other declared tina.
tne terms In general are not consis-
tent with the principles of right AMI
justice. To the first the allies re-
phed by referring the Germans to
the league covenant which shows
now Germany may seek membership.

would not admit discussion Of tn cir
