Burgonlasfer Max Says Nation
Is Not after Aims But Only
PAYMENT for Damage Done

BRUSSELS, May 3 (By The Asso-

ment has decided to sign the treaty Of
peace, which was discussed at a crown
cuncil held here last night, it is an
nounced.
The council met at the palace at s
o'clock and continued in session until
midnight. Paul Hymans, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs and head Of the Bel
ence, speaking for himself and for his
colleagues, Emile Vandervelde and NJ.
Nandenheuvel, who remained in Paris,
gave review Of the peace terms and
expressed the opinion the treaty gave
honorable and satisfactory terms to
Belgium and recommended it be signed.
The council unanimously indorscd
NJ. Hymanss view, but was equally
unanimous in expressing the opinion
that the attention of the powers should
be drawn to the financial and economic
cessity that the Allies assure Belgium
of complete support looking to her eco
nomic restoration.
The council was further of the
opinion that the Allies should be asked
to support the initiation of negotia-
tions with Holland regarding the set
tlement of the question of the freedom
Ct the Scheldt and the waterways of
east Belgium.
Burgomaster Max told delegates Of
Patriotic societies yesterday that Bel
GUM had been painfully surprised by
the fact that she had not been granted
the moral reparation'' she had ex-
pected in the choice of Brussels as the
Headquarters of the league of nations.
He said Belgium did not hold out her
hand for aims but asked just payment
for the damages she had suffered. He
feared. however, that the work of the
peace conference would prove that in
the settlement of international rela-
tions, justice had not absolutely con-
quered the idea of empire

Vaga Friday, hut were driven off by
the guns of the Allied land batteries,

Rolsheviki yesterday made two futile
attempts to approach the position held
by the American, British and Russian
troops.
A report to headquarters to-day said
that the situation along the Dvina was
"guiet"
The feeling in Archaneel is that the
crisis on the Dvina River front has
passed. The Rolsheviki it is believed,
delayed too long in grasping the ad-
vantage offered when the Dvina became
open for navigation.
Additional reports on Thuraday's de-
feat Of the Bolsheviki attack at Berez-

Allied casualties were four wounded.
The Bolsheviki also lost one machine
gun and fifty rifles. Artillery firing
continued on the Vaga sector friday,
The enemy artillery fire on the Dvina
front has been without result as far
as casualties are concerned, none hav-
ing been reported. There was slight
artillery activity Friday on the Vologda
railway front.
Mud and slush have succeeded the
deep snow on the fighting fronts and
the period of nineteen hours of day
light has replaced the w.nter darkness.
Allied forces succeeded Thursday in
repulsing the first attack by Bolshevik
gunboats on the Dvina. The enemy
feet attempted to approach the posi-
tions held by American, British and
Russian forces on the right bank of the
river, but failed, the Allies having
guns mounted which covered all parts
of the channel
Another enemy force which attempted
to cut the Allied line of communica-
tions east Of the Vaga also was re-
pulsed. Twenty of this party sur
rendered when surrounded by the

that he viewed developments In the

Elelsma Declares Wilson

Cabinet Issues Statement Of
Protest at Recognition Of
TIE Secret Treaty OF London

BASEL, May 5.-The German-Aus-
trian Cabinet at Vienna has issued
manifesto in which il claims that Pres
ident Wilson, through his making

London as far as that concerned the
demarcation of the frontier between
haly and German Austria, which
meant the annexation of the South
ern Tyrol, had acquiesced in a vio-

This point, unlike the tenth, says
the manifesto, was not subjected to

The document adds that the Italian
claims TO the Southern Tyrol are
founded purely on strategic grounds
These it holds do not justify annexa-
ton, because the ethnographic frontier
between the German and Italian Tyrol
is IN line with Itaiy's strategical re-
quirements and because such annexa-
ton is contrary to the principle Of
determination enuncated by Pres
ident Wilson in his speech at Mount
Vernon on July last.

Austrian government offered long ago
to neutralize the Southern Tyrol mil
