PEACE BODY
TURNS NEXT
TO AUSTRIA
Hope to Complete Treaty Be-
fore Wilson Goes to Bel
GUM Tomorrow.
JOHN EDWIN NEVIN

CORRESPONDENT L. N
PARIS, June 11.-With the German
treaty disposed of. the Council of Five
met this afternoon to complete the eco
nomic clauses in the Austrian treaty.
Baron Sonino. italian foreign minister
replaced Premier Orlando. at this after
Moons sitting. The Big Five hopes to
complete the missing sections of the
Austrian treaty before President Wilson
leaves for Brussels tomorrow night
Before the Austrian treaty was taken
up. the reconstructed council of ten met
at the foreign office and began dis
cussion Of territorial and other ques-
tions with the Turkish delegation
The center Of interest was transferred
to 'Weimar today where the German
government will make its decision. The
granting of additional time by the allies
waa accepted in some quarters today as
indicating that the Germans had inti-
mated to the allies the need of sufficient
time to permit possible changes in the
German government before the treaty Is
signed. Count Won Bernstorff is ex-
pected 70 have the final word andNi, is
believed he will urge the present gov
ernment to bring in independent leaders
willing to accept the treaty.
President Wilson reluctantly consent
ed to further delay because he was un-
willing TO hazard the failure of the
negotiations through a matter of a
couple Of days.
Publication of the German counter
proposals and the allied reply today
simply emphasized the wide divergence
Of opinion between Germany and the
allied and associated powers. OoHicials
here declared today that the allied re-
ply simply demolishes the German con-
tentions.
Whether Germany will sign Or not re
mains in doubt. despite the fact that a
majority of the confidential reports
reaching Paris describe the people az
apathetic and generally demanding that
their representatives sign. 1t is qurre
possible that before her signature is at
tached. the present German government
will be succeeded by an Independent So
cialist ministry.
If the Germans agree to sign. it now
appears probable that they will place
their signatures to the treaty as Yer
sailles next Monday. President Wilson
will then leave Paris Monday nign-.
sailing from Bhest Tuesday morning
and going directly to New York. Should
the Germans refcse to sign. the presi-
dent Will go nome AT once ieaNlng a
new peace 10 be worked out by his fell
low commissioners after the allies ex-
ert military and economic pressure.
Regarding the suggestion that Italy
might refuse to sign the treaty unless
given assurances that her Adriatic am
bitions will be realized. leaders today
pointed out that the United States.
Great Britain, France and Japan are in
complete accord, and that. therefore. the
Italian attitude is not a matter of deep
concern.
