PEACE TREATY IS
SIGNED By AUSTRIA
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY VOTES 81
TO 20 TO RATlFY THE
MEASURE.
SOME OF NE MBERS PROTEST
Declare That Union With Germany
VIII Ultimately Be Necessary
South Tyroleans Refrain
From Voting.

vienna.-The national assembly, by
a vote of 81 to 20, decided to sign the
peace treaty.
The assembly, however, protested
against "the violation of Austria's
right Of free disposal of herself"
The German nationals voted against
signature of the treaty, while some
members of the South Tyrolez party
abstained from voting. The vote was
taken after adoption without dissent
of the governments resolution Of pro
test, presented by the Christian So
cialist, Hauser, declaring the terrific
rial clauses OF the treaty grossly VIC
late the national claim to self-deter'
mination and the basis on which the
armistice was concluded.
1--WE raise once more our voices
against a peace founded on brute
force" said the resolution. "As one
man we decline the dividing up of our
peoples into free and unfree, as is
done by this peace. We further de-
clare that the four million Germans
forced under foreign rule will for all
time insist on self-determination as
the only possible basis on which the
modern state may be founded"
The resolution also declares that Ill
innate union with Germany is an abb
solute necessity, and expresses the
hope that when the hatred of the war
dies down this union will be consum-
mated. 1t ends by placing RESPONSE
bility for sleeping Europe in revolu-
ton and confusion on the shoulders
Of the entente and looks to the league
of nations to repair the wrong done.

RouMANlA WILL BE FORBIDDEN

Country.

Paris.-The supreme council of the
peace conference informed Roumania
she must sign the peace treaty with
Austria without reservation or abstain
altogether from signing
The Roumanian peace delegation has
not yet reached decision in the mat
ter.
The Roumanian delegation has sent
q note to the peace conference declar-
Ing that its intention was to sign the
Austrian treaty with reservations. The
supreme council took the Roumanian
note under consideration. 1t appears
unlikely such signature will be per.
mitted.
Premier Clemenceau presided at che
council meeting, which also discussed
the German reply to the allied demand
for suppression of article 81 of the
German constitution, providing for
Austrian representation in the German
parliament. The discussion Of this
subject was not completed.
While the council probably will
spend several days on the reply to the
German note before completing it, it
Is considered certain that the answer
will be extremely firm in tone, taking
the position that Germany is violating
the treaty before it becomes effective,
thereby rendering it impossible for the
allies to ratify it.
Considerable differences OF opinion
are known to have existed among the
members of the supreme council re.
garding the action to be taken con-
corning the German note, some mem
bers favoring the ignoring by the allied
communication on the ground that the
reply was evasive, and proceeding
further into Germany should the Ger
mans fail to indicate a willingness to
alter their constitution.

PEACE AGAIN IN COAL REGION
Miners, Footsore and Weary, Return
to Their Homes and Re-
sumo Work.

Charleston, w. Va.-iPeace and quiet
again reigned throughout the coal dis
trict in this section of the state, from
reports and appearances, after several
days Of anxiety and turbulence, due to
thousands of miners stopping work and
taking up the march into Logan county
with the ayowed purpose of forcing
this non-union field to organize.
Worn, weary and footsore, the men
were brought back from their pilgrim
age after their organization leaders
had pleaded with them to observe the
laws of the state. and from the various
mining communities came reports that
all was quiet and that the men were
returning to work.

he replied to the cheers with the stiff

head with boyish gesture which told
how deeply he was stirred while the
grim lines of his bronzed face broke
into a smile which was as infectious

The Austrian peace treaty completed
by the supreme council for submission
to the Austrian plenipotentiaries leaves
the future Of Austria very largely in
the hands OF the league of nations.
The league, that is, will be able to de-

ted to join Germany, and as France
is opposed to such q union, as are
Switzerland and many other countries,
there would appear to be very little
chance of Austria's securing permits
sion to terminate her existence as a
separate state, should she SO desire in
future.
There seems to be general feeling
of dissatisfaction in peace conference
circles with the treaty, which was
adopted from the German treaty and
does not fit such small power very
well. The council, however, has agreed
on all sections Of the treaty, because
there is a general WEAKNESS with dis.
kussion.
Under the terms Of the treaty Wen
ma, with its 100000 inhabitants,
seems doomed to lapse into compare
tice commercial insignificance, as
there is a population of only 100000
within the country outside the city to
support the capital, while with Jugo-
Elavia, Czecho- Slovakia and Hungary
existing as separate powers, Vienna
can hardly hope to recover the bust
mess formerly drawn from their terri
tories. II the Observation-Disclosures OF

Jed In many quarters, 1t is pointed out
by members of the peace delegation
that Austria's shrunken commercial
interests would thereby be protected
TO some extent, but the territory con
tributory to the capital is so limited
that it Is generally thought by the
peace delegates that Vienna is doomed
as a great capital and must inevitably
relapse into residential city with
relatively slight business Importance
It is likewise pointed out by mem
bers of the conference that even were
Austria to be joined eventually with

ARGENTINE CORN IS FACTOR IN GRAIN PIT Corn Went Down 1 1-2 to 3-4c, While Oats Fol-
 lowed Same Route
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 22.-Announcement that vessel charters had been taken for one million bushels of Argentine corn to come to the United States brought about sharp break here today in prices Of corn. The market closed unsettled 11kc to 1%c net lower, with February s.2sA to s1.2sls and May sL23 sl.2S1s. Oats lost BAG to 3ssc. Provisions finished un- changed to 55c lower.
 Before word came that vessel charter ing to move corn from Argentina to this country was in actual progress corn here had a decided upward slant. Much or the buying sprang from belief that present hog prices would be maintained in February and from the government report that the farm supply of hogs was not so generous.
 News of the Argentine charters, how ever. led to an immediate change in sen- timent, especially as gossup was cur rent that the Argentine government was arranging loan of s5S0, 100000 to Great Britain, France and Italy for the pur- chase of grain.
 Oats fell with corn. Provisions were weak throughout the day.

New Orleans, January 22.-There was further recovery in contract values today as a result of better cables than due, wet weather in the southwest, large eX- ports and because of more activity re- ported in cotton goods in which there IS improvement in the export demand. The recent bearish propaganda as regards re- port of unfavorable textile conditions in
 England and America, was shattered by cable advices to the effect that Lam cashire spinners are to increase active spindles 10 per cent next Monday and by more business reported in cotton goods in New York, with the foreign demand inn proving Indications are that the rains will work over into the eastern half or the belt by tomorrow Preparations TOT the new crop. already reported very back ward, will be delayed& all the more by | the present spell of bad weather The south is being urged to reduce the cotton acreage this year and to grow more or | food crops owing to tAfe high cost of grain and provisions, and to hold the Lunmar- keted portion of last years cotton crop I for higher prices.

New Orleans, January 2.-The usual bear pressure was felt in the cotton mar ket today following firmness and nigh CT prices in the early trading. There appeared to be no reason for the selling except that bear traders saw in the early improvement better selling basis and took advantage of it. The opening was at the advance on efforts of shorts to take profits and the large foreign clear ances reported over night. The improve ment continued until it amounted to from A to 56 points. From this level the ac- tive months were sent 15 to 53 points under the close of yesterday
 Last prices were 15 points up to SS points off net, the near positions being stronger than the distant because Of the revision in spot differences here.
 The total export movement for the day was 46 165 bales against no shipments thls day last year. This brought the msve- ment for the week thus far up to l3l, ,4oo bales against only 7251 bales during the same time last year. The large clear ances caused the stock at all ports to fall far under the stock for the corre- sponding day last year, for the first tlme sir ce the opening of the season.

Over. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, January 22.-There was
 more confident air in the market this
 morning. principally because of the frank exposition through the press of the tech
 nical points of the situation and the working order of the recent bear move ment against cotton More effective de- fense largely depends on proper knowl- edge and realization of conditions. A higher Liverpool, large exports, better dry goods news, the chances for bullish mill--takings Friday, and another spell of bad weather were helping factors in the 30-point higher opening.
 Early clearances from New Orleans amounted to i5,000 bales. The amount of cotton on shipboard is still so large that export statistics promise to continue fa- vorable. If they are so large with pres ent embarrassing high freight rates, the future in this respect promises to be bulish on reduced rates.
 Everybody is waiting for an adjust ment in freight rates, but no pressure to offer The market, after trading up sto | g. .92c for May, reacted, but there, IS a better undertone and more disposition to take hold on depressions.
