Accounts Of Former
Clerk Of Municipal
Court Show Shortage

A partial check of the accounts of
George E. Bertrand, former clerk
of the municipal court, shows short
age which may amount to more than
$1,000

this is an actual shortage of money
not accounted for" said Mr.. Ure.
There are many instances of docu-

NOT seem to have been fees collected.
The accounts were kept in a very

be a case of gross carelessness on
the part of Mr.. Bertrand"

lieve that Austria would be treated
better than Germany.

recurrence of the talk of a boil
shevik regime.
Much anger is shown against the
Italians, French, Czechs and Jugo-
Slavs. The loss of Marburg and
Klagenfurt are taken especially hard.
The Arbeiter Zeitung says: "All
has been taken from us without re-
spect to President Wilson's ID
points, which is cruel and provok-
ing"
The Reichspost says: "The con-
ditions could not have been worse ;"
DR.. Edward Treichl, director of
the Anglo Hungarian bank, said:
THE terms are worse than | had
supposed, although | reserve MY
full opinion until | see the financial
terms. The only thing for the
people is to say: We might

are companions in misfortune. We
have nothing to lose by doing So"
The cabinet was called into ses-
sion Wednesday night and spent the
enire night in discussing the terms
of the peace treaty. which were ar
irving from St. Germain.
