Austria Asserts
Peace Terms Can't
Be Carried Out
Demands Paris Appoint a
Commission to Inquire
Into Vienna's Ability to
Raise Her Indemnities

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 8 (By The As
ssociated Press).-A summary of the
Austrian note presented to the Allied
peace mission at st. Germain, France,
Wednesday, has been received here from
Vienna.
"lf German Austria's territorial de-
mands are fulfilled to the minimum ex-
tent maintained in the appendix to the
note, says the summary, German
Austria viii make efforts to believe she
can live Independently and in peace in
tins territory. She expects the league
of nations will hear her in her hour
of distress.
"On the other hand. German Austria
still is firmly convinced that the eco
nomic burdens imposed upon her by
the peace treaty cannot really be car

staantially lightened she is bound to

clal clauses of the peace treaty, the
note continues:

dren are perishing for lack of meat
and milk. German Austria must allow
herself to be placed under the Entente
Powers financial control. but she ex-
poets the repatriation committee will
act with the consideration demanded
by her desperate position and grant
German Austria the necessary credits
to obtain raw materials and foodstuffs." :"
Wants Investigation
The note urges amendment, with a
view to investing commission with
ptenary powers, regarding all economic
and financial peace conditions. 1t then
argues at length regarding "the unjust
and unequal division of old Austria's
debts among the states which sue
ceeded it and the injustice of stipula-
tlons regarding war loans"
ut seems self-evident," the note con-
tinues, that all states in what for
merly was Austria Hungary should di-
vide the debts Of the old monarchy.
Apart from the bank note debt, clauses
IN the peace treaty show burden of
debt for German-Austria of some forty
billion marks. Thus thirds of the
entire debt of the Austrian states
without the note debt, is placed on
Inc shoulders of one-ffth of the for
mer population"
The note proposes, as in the case of
pre-war debts, that all debts shall be
divided by the reparations commission
according to the ability Of individual
states to meet them. A similar pro-
posal is made regarding Austro-H Hun
garlan banknotes held abroad.

FARIC, Aug. s.-The presence of

ct Washington is strongly urged in

the Premier cannot bind himself to
go to America at the time when his

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-President
Wilson has completed his reply to the
Senate resolutions asking for docu-
ments used by the American delegates
at the peace conference, and it was said
at the White House that it would be
sent to the Senate tomorrow. 1t was
understood the President would send

Boundary disputes between the Bal
kan nations were ebated in the Senate
to- day.
Senator Brandegee, Republican, of
Connecticut, called attention to the
differences between Bulgaria and Greece
over Thrace. Press reports, Senator
Brandegee said, indicated that because
the American peace commissioners
were supporting Bulgaria, Premier
Venizelas of Greece wos incensed at
America and had announced opposition
to the league of nations.
Brandcgee Disagrees
Commenting on President Wilson's
statement that "new day has dawned"
in the world, Senator Brandagee said
European reports showed that the Bal
kans still were afame and that
Italy and Jugo-Slavia were at "swords'
points"

that every time we butt in and at
tempt to settle European boundaries
we get into trouble"
Republican Leader Lodge protested
against what he termed the attempt
"to hand Thrace over to Bulgaria as
reward for Bulgaria's support Of Ger
many"

approve it," said Mr.. Lodge at seems
to me great and incredible wrong"
Senator Lodge said Thrace was com
posed of Greeks and ought to be

Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Colo
rado, declared the American position
regarding Thrace was not inconsistent.
Thrace, he said, is the natural outlet of
Bulgaria to the Aegean Sea, and
peace could not be obtained by deny
ing access Of nations to world com
merce.

PARIS, Aug. s (By The Associated

The Supreme Councils warning note

well-informed "Pertinax." writing in
the echo de Paris" is a call to order,
and Rumania seems to have decided
TO make concessions in form if not in
fact. He said it was probable an agree
ment will be reached.
Archduke Joseph, governing at Buda-

old regime to come back, and he asks
if the period "of returns from Elba is
about to begin in Central Europe"
"We have never felt that our alliance
would find safety in the founding of
democratic states in Germany and Aus
