Paris, May l5.-Premier Clemenceau,
replying for the allies to the German
note asking re-adiustment Of the laber
section Of the peace treaty Indicated
that article must be accepted as drafted.

With reference 10 articles 50 and
90 of the proposals for the establish
ment of league of nations submitted
by us, we beg herewith TO transmit the
draft Of gn international labor law, pre-
pared by the German government
The German government is of one
mind with the allied and associated
governments in holding that the great
est attention must be given to labor
questions. Domestic peace and the adj
vaneement Of mankind depend vitglIy
on the adjustment Of this question. The
demands for social Justice, repeatedly
raised in this respect by the working
classes of all nations, are only partly
realized in section Is of the draft OF
peace conditions of the allied and asso-
ciatcd governments on the organizations
Of labor. These sublime demands have
for the most part been realized In Ger
many, with the assistance Of the work
ing classes, as is generally Seknowl-
edged in an explanatory manner. In
order to carry them into execution ev-
crywherc in the interest Of mankind,
the acceptance of the program of the
German delegates is at least necessary.

BIG FOUR AND EXPERTS
STUDY MILITARY TERMS
Details OF Territorial Section
Of Pact Still Being Worked
Over By Council Of Minis
terS.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, May 15.-The tentative date
for presentation of the Austrian peace
treaty is May %, il was learned today
The program to be followed, il is as.
.sumed, will be similar to that of sub
mitting the German terms, in that the
ceremony will take place at a plenary
session of the peace conference and
viii be preceded by secret plcnary
session in which the terms will be fin
ally ratified by the allied delegates.
The details of the territorial section
Of the treaty apparently are still in
the hands Of the council of foreign
ministers, as the "hig four today
took up the military and naval provis
ions with the allied experts. That an
agreement has not yet been reached in
regard to Fume was indicated IA the
admission of AmbassagOr Page that
t" no progress" had been made toward
a settlement of that problem. Page
who is returning to Rome, declared he
would make public the compromise
plan he submitted to the "big four. u
The nature of the compromise has not
been learned, but it is reported Page
told President Wilson that unless Italy
realizes her territorial aspirations she
will face q revolution.
The Germans, meanwhile, were re-
ported to have made known their in
tention to oppose accepting that por'
tion of the treaty which provides for
trial of the former kaiser by an inter
national tribunal. They were said
however, to have admitted Germany''
responsibility, so far as reparation is
concerned. The "big four" has refus
ed to consider Germanys application
for immediate representation on an in
ternational labor board thus turning
down the first three Of the seven com
munications already submitted in con
nection with the treaty. The answers
to the other four have not been an
nOuuced.

this afternoon if weather conditions arv
favorable, Commander Towers an
nouneed the NC-4, flying here from

Towers expects the NC-4 TO reach

soon as she has ben overhauled and
carefully repaired.
The plans call for her start for the
Azores within ~ hours after the NC-l
aud NC-3, which will make possible a
rendezvous of all three planes at Ponta

off for the eeast of Portugal.
Dirigible to Follow.
Weather observations were being
made this morning. The report Of mid.
ocean conditions was eagerly awaited
as upon it depends the start of the big
flight today.
Fog off the entrance 10 Trepassey
Bay will not prevent a start if condi-
tous in the upper air are considered
good, The plans could easily rise above

Paris, May lj.-The "big four TO-
day consulted experts regarding the
military and naval terms of the Aus.
irian peace treaty.
The former dual monarchy already
is without effective military or naval
forces and today's conference was be-
lieved to be confined to correlating
and assembling of details, preparatory
to final drafting Of this section of the
terms.
The articles covering disposition Of
former Austro. Hungarian territory and
fixation of the boundaries Of the new
states constitute the vital portion Of
the pact and as soon as these are COM
pleted, it is believed, the document
will be ready for presentation to the
Austrian delegates, who arrived at St.
