TERMS TOO SEVERE-AUSTRIA
President Seitz Tells Assembly Peace
Conditions Are impossible and
Country Will Starve.

Vienna, June 10.-The peace terms
presented to Austria are impossible
anG mean the death of the country by
starvation, President Seitz said in his
address opening the extraordinary ses-
SIGN of the national assembly. Foreign
Minister Bauer made q report on his
confer ence at Feldkirch with Doctor
Renner, head of the Austrian peace
delegation. After declaring that the
treaty was peace of hate, the foreign
minister released his personal walls of
wrst tn against the Czechs, who he
said, had taken all of Austria's sugar
and other industries. The loss of
German Bohemia, he added, meant not
merely the subsection of 100000 Ger
mans to foreign rule, but the loss of
the most valuable parts of German
Austria, industrialiy and culturally.
Doctor Bauer said the people of the
Tyrol, who love freedom above life,
would never submit to the peace terms
ana that they, as well as the Germans
of Bohemia, had the sympathy of all
Germans. ',,+,r@ss~@ssezsskse

The pamphlet to Lord Liverpool and

he sets out, with keen concern and
much energy of indignation, to criti-

Atlantic City, N. J., June 11.-Tyr-

ORIGIN of Number Symbols.

The origin of our common number
symbols has never been clearly es-
tahlished. but until recently all writers
agree that these symbols were trans
mitted to Europe by the Arabs. who
had obtained them from India. 1t is
very interesting TO note that available
data relating to the origin Of our COM
mon number symbols have been care
fully re-examined by Cara de Vaux-
Among the most surprising results are
the following: Our common number
symbols originated in Europe and from
there were transmitted to the Persians.
Both India and Arabia received them
from Persia. so that the common term
Hindu-Arabic numerals is, decidedly
misleading. The common numerals did
not come from letters Of the alphabet
mt were formed directly for the pur-
pose of representing numbers

The army, General March said, was

France there remain 694,745 officers
and men.
All embarkation records were bro

France totaled 333,303.

Requirements for the emergency
men in Siberia will be made from men
who have not asked for service in any
special place. General March said ne
expected no difficulty in solving the
problem of obtaining the 10000 men
necessary for requirements in the ST.

"The Siberian problem is a problem

the war department will be in a posi-

"Those who have specified their
place of service aggregate about A.
600 out of the $4,000. We have. there

saying to what place they wish to be
sent, and of course, they will go where
they are sent. In the meantime, the
option continues for those who wish to

General March gave figures which

is URGED TO SIGN
ERZBURGER MAKES SUGGESTION
AS TO PEACE TERMS.
Wilson Says Peace Treaty Violates
None of His Fourteen
Principles.

Copenhagen, June 9.-Mathias Err
berger, head of the German armistice
commission, according to the Deutches

a memorandum which, after discussing
the peace terms In all their aspects,
advocates the signing of the treaty.
Paris, June cit Is understood
here that the Berlin government Is
sending photographically reproduced
copies Of the peace terms to every
United States senator and representa-
tive.
Il am convinced that our treaty prof.
ect violates none of my principles"
President Wilson Is quoted by the
Matin as having said when he was
made acquainted with the German
contemporaries to the peace treaty.
IF l held contrary opinion 1 would
not hesitate to confess it and would
endeavor to correct the error. The
treaty as drawn up, however, entirely
conforms with my IA points"
When the council of four met Pre-
mier Orlando of Italy was absent. This
led to the belief that the Adriatic ques-
ton was again under consideration.
1t is understood that no further prog.
ress has been made by the various ele-
ments working on the solution Of this
problem.
1t is probable that the allied and as
ISOLATED powers will comply with the
German demand to state approximate
ly the maximum sum which Germany
must pay In reparation under the
peace treaty, according to the Matin.
This sum. it states, will be from 200,-
000,0OO,OO0 to 25O,OOO,OO francs.
(The larger sum named, on gold
valuation would be not far from $780,

Control. However, Is Still to Be Ex-

Burleson.

Washington, June 7-POstmaster
General Buriessn issued an order ON
Thursday returning the telephone and
telegraph systems of the country to
the owners for operating purposes.
Control of the companies is not relin-
quished by the government.
In statement accompanying the
formal order the postmaster general
stated that the existing rates would
remain in effect, and that orders for
bidding discharge of employees be-
cause Of union utilization also would
stand
Mr.. Burleson's order turning back
the wire properties read:
"The president having recommend
ed the return of the wire systems and
the control of the owning companies
with certain legislation designed to
stabilize their operation, and the SEN
ate committee having taken action
looking to their immediate return,
and the house committee in its hear
ings on the proposed legislation hav-
ing indicated concurrence in the sug-
gested immediate return with or WITH
out legislation so recommended, feel
it my duty to now return the actual
control of operations to the COM
panieS.
"Some days ago 1 directed the nee
essary orders to be prepared to ac-
complish this and have today issued
same. These orders do not affect
questions of rates and finance with
which the congress may determine to
deal.
1.-THE rates now in force and the
financial relations between the govern
ment and the companies, and the or
der of October 2, 1918, prohibiting dis
elimination because of union aftllia-
ton will continue unless congress
may decide to change them or the
emergency is terminated by the proc
lamation of peace.
"By the action now taken, however,
the wire companies resume actual
control of operations of their respec-
tive properties, and are free to formu-
late and put into effect their own pol
icies unrestricted by government con-
troll, which is to continue in any case
but a few weeks, and thus will be
able to prepare themselves for COM
plete resumption of the management
of their property.
SIT will be necessary for each COM
pany to so keep it's accounts during
the continuance of government con-
troll that its books may be closed on
the day government control ends in
order that a full and accurate state
ment may be promptly made when 1t
