TURKISH AND AUSTRIAN
TERMS BEING DRAFTED
Delegates Scheduled to Arrive

BY ED l.. KEEN

United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, May 10.-Confidence was
expressed in certain allied circles
tonight that the last Of the en-
emy powers will have made peace
by the last Of June.
With the German delegates working
night and day to prepare their Off
cial report to their government on the
terms presented them Wednesday, the
allies are rapidly assembling the ar.
ticles of the Austrian pact. 1t Is un-
derstood that the conditions are be-
ing drafted as fast as they are COM.
pleted and that the document will be
ready for submission early next week.
Conclusion Of peace with Ger
many and Austria will mark the
end of Americas direct partlcipa-.
tion in the negotiations. The
United States was never At war
with Bulgaria or Turkey, and her
sole interest in the treaties with
these countries apparently will be
to see that the armistice terms and
President Wilson's IA points are
observed.
DELEGATES DUE MONDAY
The Austrian delegates, according
to the latest advices, are scheduled
to arrive at st. Germain. near Yer
sailles, about Monday. Every indica-
tion points to their receiving their
terms within a day or two after their
arrival. While no official announce
ment has been made. it is assumed
that the Austrians will be subject to
the same regulations which governed
the German delegates. They probably
will be given a 5-day period in which
to discuss the conditions before sub
mitting the reply.
After the treaty is in the hands of
the Austrians, it is probable that the
allies will then take up the Bulgarian
and Turkish pacts. The details of the
Turkish treaty, at least, have already
been disposed OF and it is believed
that comparatively little time will be
required to put these documents into
shape. In the ordinary course OF
events, the Turks and Bulgarians
would receive their terms by the mid
die OF June, one OF those nations prob :
ably by the last of May 1t is not
known yet which pact will be taken
up first and it is not at all improb-
able that the Turks and Bulgarians
will be invited to the conference prac-
tically at the same time.

nection with the German treaty
Is the report that Foreign Minis |.

Paris, May 1O-Germanys dip
ion1 attic offensive against the

Brockdorff- Rantzau, chief of the
enemy delegates, sought to soften
the harsh terms, and to win for
Germany the right of immediate
admission to the league of nations,
according to official announcement
tonight. Both proposals were
turned down by the big three

was said, stated that the foreign

The big four" replied that they car
not admit of discussion of their right
to insist on the terms being carried
out substantially as they are drafted
and declared they will consider only
practice ble' suggestions.
Formal objection was also filed by
the Germans to omission of Germany
from the countries invited to become
members of the league of NATIONS.
In response, the "big four" re-
ferred the Germans to the second
paragraph of articles II of the
covenant.
The German program for a
league of nations which provides
for establishment of "world
