Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria's delegates, headed by Chan
cellor Karl Renner, were received and
housed at st. German. They were
treated with a good deal more cordial
ity than were the Germans at Yer
sailles, and were given quarters In
pleasant villas that overlook the Seine
valley and Paris, with no high fences
or sentries to restrict their move

peared In good humor and hopeful OF
lenient treatment, and seemed to ap-

the cosmopolitan crowd Of journalists

be able to sign the treaty unless 1t
provided for the union Of German Bo-
hernia and German Tyrol with Ger
many. 1t is assumed they will accept
the pact ever II that annexation is
not permitted.
In some ways the treaty with Aus
tria, 1t is said, will be like that with
Germany. Austria is to lose her en-
tire navy, according to the reports,
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimited she will
find that her southern frontier is push

will be required to pay certain sums
but these will be small in comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water

Prices Stay Up
In Other Countries

Turning to the after-war tendency
of price movement in neutral coun-
tries, the Berlin newspaper pub
fishes the accounts Of its correspond
ents in Rotterdam and Copenhagen.
According to the testimony of the
Rotterdam report, not only did the
signing of peace fail to produce a
general fall Of prices in Holland, but
in many instances it actually caused
a rise. This was especially so in the
case Of vegetables and fruits, owing
to the increased exportto Germany.
In regard to other articles the trend
was generally downward and the

A summary Of the rise Of living
costs in Allied countries, as com
piled by the Statistical Society Of
Berne, was printed showing that
the general level Of prices has ad-
vanced since July, 1911
In Italy. 4Sl per cent.
In France, 36o per cent.
In England, 24O per cent.
In Canada, 215 per cent.
In the United States, 209 per cent.
The report adds that in the first
two years Of the war the rise was
comparatively small Tin France lss
per cent, in Italy 210 per cent?. But
the submarine warfare soon caused
a skyward move Of all prices. In
England the rise of prices advanced
from 100 per cent in June, 1916, to
220 per cent in June, 1917.

textiles, clothing and shoes are still
high above the pre-war level IN
Denmark.
In Germany the fall Of prices in
the last few months has been, in
some instances, remarkable. In May
linen goods in colored patterns cost
in Berlin about 50 a yard; in July
it was about Sl.20. On July > a
pound of coffee was s.; the same on
July 9 cost only 1925.
In Eisenach the price Of American
lard fell in few days from 1923 to
1926 q pound; Of ham and bacon,
from $50 to $3.50 and 1913.
As late as May it was almost I'M

the beginning Of July, the "Nos-

and that there was a very great pos
sibility. even if such an alliance
were formulated. that the circum-
stances Of the American political
situation might be such that the pact
would be repudiated or ignored. In
ether words, what has happened in
the last three months in Washing
ton has clearly demonstrated to the
French that in the face of a possible
German attack in the future they
might have to expect long delays be-
fore America finally decided to send
troops to Europe. There remains.
of course, the British support, but
it was patent that in the situa-
ton bound to develop in Europe
Anglo-French military resources
would be as insufficient to defeat
Germany as they proved, even with
the temporary assistance of Russia
and Of Italy, in the recent war.
Accordingly, we have seen in the
last few weeks the development Of
a French policy to restore the bal
ance of power in Europe by building
up an association of Continental
states which shall be sufficient to
make head against a new German
group of powers. For ! do not be-
lieve that any one in Europe seri
ously believes that Germany will
permanently accept the condition in
which the last war has left her.
French diplomats, the architects
of a new Continental alliance, have
found themselves in the presence Of
certain facts. There were among the
new states created by the war three
which. in the nature of things, would
not adhere to the Central German
group. These three were Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia and JugoSlavia.
In addition. for reasons which are so
obvious as not to need to be reca-
pitulated. Belgium would fall in the
same class. Such group, then.
would represent the following popu-
lation, Poland, 100000; Czecho-
Slovakia. 1i,O00.0O0; Jugo-Slavia,
100000, and Belgium, 100000
in all, 55,0O0,000.

United States in the hostility of
Italy. Bulgaria and Rumania, even
if all three joined the German
group.
England has. on the whole. though
with certain shades Of reservation,
agreed with American policy over
Fiume, Thrace and Pennsylvania, be-
cause. as a result Of the destruction
of German sea power, England does
not feel herself Immediately con-
cerned, and such risks as are Incl
dent to following the American
course still seem to Englishmen q
not excessive price to pay for asso-
citation with America in a friendly
understanding.
But no such attitude Of mind is
possible to the Frenchman. He not

."HE Germans may have per-
fectly good reasons for not
- being over-enthusiastic about
the peace treaty, nevertheless the
end of the war has left them in one
respect at least better off than any
of the Allied and associated nations.
Germany is the only country to-day
where prices have gone down con-
siderably in the last few months.
There was no reduction in the cost
of living in England after the armis-
tice; no reduction to speak Of in the
United States-in many instances,
indeed, prices have advanced; in
France everything Is as expensive
to-day as it was year ago. II not
more so, and in Italy it took near
Bolshevistic revolt of the population
to effect a fall in the price of neces-
saries. In Holland and Switzerland,
as well as in the Scandinavian
countries, the effect Of the cessation
of the restrictions on imports was
counteract<d by the increase in ex-
ports to the Central powers. Alone
in Germany was the signing Of
peace followed by a general decrease
in prices; the decrease is noticeable
in almost all instances, considerable
in some.
The "Vossische Zeitung," Of Ber-
lin, has, in the course of July, pub
lished a survey of the cost of neces-
saries in Germany as compared with
prices prevailing in other countries.

1t needs no explanation to indl-

Hungary, with large portions of her

vaks and the Jugo-Slavs, with the
assistance of the Western allies,
must continue to cherish the dream
of a re-conquest Of her old estate,
which is only to be attained by re-

But, dragging the French along with
US. We have affronted the Greeks,
denied their claims, recognized Bull
garian demands which were hardly
worth notice, and the result has
been the alienation Of large por-
tons of the Greek population, not
all Of which, by any means, was pro-
Ally.
The Frenchman sees, then, that,
as a result of American intermixture
in European affairs, as a result or
American effort to impose league
of nations upon the world and as a
consequence Of French association
with the United States France finds
herself opposed on the continent to-
day not merely by group Of powers
whose union and alliance was natu-
raj, but threatened with a coalition
between these powers and three
states which in the nature Of things
would have been attached TO the
French group had America not pur-
sued the course she did at Paris.
The Frenchman sees that, together
with his friends, he will number
only 95,000,000 on the Continent,
while the German-Italian group will
number 100000 900, and he sees that
25.OOO,000 Greeks and Rumanians,
who, associated with him, might
have preserved the balance of power,
are being driven over to the German
camp by the American course.
Now, the Frenchman has. in addi-
ton, an alliance with America and
with Great Britain, which has been
accepted by the British and is still
under debate in America. If it IS
adopted by the United States, as it
has been by Great Britain, the
French position, though still diff
cult and perilous, would be infinite
~ better.

an experiment which flies in the
face of all his experience in long
history, but finds himself asked to
associate with Great Britain and the
United States in raising up enemies
for himself, whose hostility may be
fatal to him, in order that this league
Of nations experiment may be tried.
He finds himself asked TO invite the
resentment of Italy, of Rumania and
of Greece, when his own future
may be sacrificed as consequence.
He knows that if Italy had remained
true to her German alliance in 1914
and invaded France on the south
east, when Germany came down
from the north, he would have been
conquered.
l wish | could make it clear to my
American readers that it is not I'M
perialism, militarism, innate and es-
sential evil, which underlies french
policy to-day but an effort, with the
Lessons of the immediate past as well
as the remote past in mind, to guard
against a repetition Of the invasions
which for centuries have periodical
~ overwhelmed the French people.
The great protest in France to-day
against American policy lies in the
fact that America, with perfect i'm
punity so far as she herself is con-
cerned, is arousing animosities and
resentments which on the day of
judgment will react upon the French,
without any certainty that America
will be there to help them bear the
burden.

As can be seen, prices, although
in every instance higher than the
pre-war level, have decreased consld-
erably in comparison to those prevail
ing during the war. On the other
hand. the Rotterdam correspondent
of the "Vosssische- Zeitung" adds the
prices of fruits and vegetables are
to-day higher than at any period
during the war. Strawberries, cher
ries and gooseberries, which prior to
the war sold at 1920 cents pound,
are now selling for 1850 cents.
