CHANGES m GERMAN
TREATY APPROACHING
THEIR FINAL FORM
Notifications Are Planned
to Make Terms Easier of
ExeCution-RepIy Is Ex-
pected by June IL

NEW YORK, June 5.-(Summary
Of European cables to The Associa-
ted Press .)-Austria's attitude made
known to the allies. Advices from
Vienna, however, report official dis
satisfaction with their provisions
and a chorus of newspaper disap-
probation. There are indications,
nevertheless, that the people, as a
whole, are somewhat lethargic.
Completion of the Austrian treaty.
several clauses of which were mis-
ing in Mondays presentation, is not
likely to occur this week, although
the peace conference leaders are
giving. daily attention to the mat
ter. The pissing clauses, it is stat
ed, are likely to be transmitted to
the Austrian representatives by
note, as they become completed.
Modifcat atoms in the terms of
preaching definite fern. according to
advices from Paris. These altera-
tons. it is said, are not planned
primarily to make the terms light
er for the Germans, bat Lc render
them easier of execution.
Apparently there is a disposition
on the part OF President Wilson,
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Ciemenceau to fi-- definite sum of
approximately S25, 100000 as the
aIlQGuI OJ lIuGIllHllS Will
be called upon to ray. and it seems
possible that the first instalment of
about $4,000. 00n. 900 may not have
20 be paid within two years, as now
stimulated, but within five years. =.
The terms relative to Silesia and
the Sarre region. too. may be alter
ed There seems. however, to be a
general agreement that Germany will
not be permitted to enter the League
of Nations at cnce. Premier Orlando
is standing a1ocf from these dis
cIssions. as Italy's interest is not
so much in the German as-1n the
Austrian treaty.
The establishment Of the Rhenish
republic by the people of the Rhine
Land provinces of Germany is not
looked upon seriously in American
circles at the peace conference, it
prominent men in the Rhineland are
identified with the movement and
there is some doubt as to the spon-
taneity of the demand for a repub-
lie. Dispatches from German
sources declare that French author
tiles have taken prominent role in
the setting up of the new govern
ment
Jugo-Slav forces which are invad-
ing the province of Carinthia are re-
ported to be advancing. the village
of Volkermarkt, northeast of Kla-
genfurt, capital of Carinthia, having
been evacuated by the Austrian
troops defending it.
The reported capture of Petrograd,
which was announced early this week
.sfn a telegram from Vardoe to Co.
Eenhagen, seems to be without foun-
dation Esthonian forces are quite
a distance west of the former Rus
sian capital, and are being subjected
to heavy attacks by the BolSheviki
over a wide front.

PRESIDENT WILSON
IS De. |EVED BEHIND
PROBE RESOLUTION

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Congres-
sional leaders and politicians today
saw the hand of President Wilson
in the treaty leak" probe, demanded
yesterday by Senator Hitchcock.
Administration officials stated to-
day that the president had been fully
informed of the charges made by
Senators Lodge and Borah that the
full text of the treaty was in the
hands of American business men in
New York City. They further stated
today that they were anxious that
the resolution introduced by Senator
Hitchcock, asking an inquiry into
how the treaty reached the United
States and who has it, be pressed
to the limit.
Senator Hitchcock today charged
Senators Borah and Lodge with IAN
attack oe the most scandalous char
acter on President Wilson" 1t is
of the most tremendous urgency"
he said, that the senate investigate
charges that the peace treaty is IN
i the hands Of New York business in
terests.
Senator Hitchcock, calling up his
resolution for an investigation, Wig
orously attacking Senators Lodge and
Borah because of their statements to
the senate that the treaty text
denied to the senate, is in possession
of New York bankers.
"These senators declare in effect"
said Senator Hitchcock, that the
president withholds the treaty from
the senate and insinuates that he
permits copies to go to business IN
terests These interests, they say
have a peculiar interest in the
treaty. It is done for the purpose Of
attacking the treaty.
False Impression
cit conveys to the public mind the
impression that a secret comb1na-
ton exists between the American
peace delegation and certain financial
interests. by which the latter are
given advance information-a mon
strous charge"
Men who make such a charge owe
it to the public to demand an IN
vestigation, and they would nave,
public interest. They apparently do
not appreciate the gravity of the
charges nor the embarrassing posi-
position in which they have placed
themselves by not demanding an in
quiry
IF Senator Lodge had a copy of
the treaty, as he said, he held stolen
goods in his hands-goods probably
obtained through bribery. The SEN
ate and the country want to know
and must find out how these New
York interests got this treaty"
Senator Lodge, replying, said he
would be delighted to have the in
vestigation." Since the resolution
goes to Senator Lodges committee.
he said Senator Borah and l shall
investigate each other with great
pleasure.

 London, April A.-Public opinion in Italy. according to a wireless message from Rome, is much excited against the peace conference for refusing to recognize the Italian claims. Apparently there is a complete truce in party politics and the newspapers are unanimous in blaming the allies. It is declared that feeling is run ming so high that fl might have a disas- trous influence on Anglo-Italian rela- tions
 The Italians consider that they have been betrayed by the allies, the dispatch says.
 "The whole nation is aroused and has rallied to the support of Orlando and Sonnino There is q brave army ready to make every sacrifice for the realization of their programme. Many popular demonstrations have taken place, and the watchword adopted | is Plume or death I If the conference does not accept the Italian point of view, the situation VII become extremely serious.

ITALIANS INSULTED, CLAIM

Paris, April A.-Prenier Orlando and the other members of the Italian dele sation apparently are much angrier over President Wilson's worldwide pubiica- ton of his position on the Adriatic ques- ton than over his opposition to their claims and the fact that diplomatic pro cedure has been violated and what Is termed an insult offered to the Italian government because the President made his position known to the Italian peo- ple over the head of the peace delega- tion.
 Discussing this contention today a member of the American peace delega- ton said:
 sFiume or nothing has been the Itai- ian delegations unalterable formr for nearly eight weeks and their firm in ] sistence upon the settlement of the Ad- riatic questions before an agreement rpon the peace terms forced President Wilson to tell the world where he stands. The atmosphere of the confer ence simply had to be cleared, and there was no other way for the President to clear it.
 sThis statement was more for the American public than for the Italian $ public, and it was of such an unmls- oakable character that it should not leave anyone in the dark as to the American position on secret agree ments'',
