Like the German government, the
Austrian government is said to be dis
satisfied with the peace terms. which
are declared by one of the responsible
newspapers OF Vienna to be unac-
oeptable.
Unlike the German populace at
large, however the Austrian people
apparently are apathetic, having ex-
pected no easy terms and are willing,
even anxious to accept the conditions
as laid down and thus bring peace to
the sorely stricken former empire,
which is rendered by the treaty vir-
tually an inland state of small terri
torial proportions. Nevertheless, the
general opinion among the Austrians
seems to be that the terms are based
on might and not on President Will
sons fourteen points.

tinues to discuss points brought out

larly as regards the Saar basin and
Silesia.

by magistrates of 200 German mu-
inequalities, representing virtually half
the population of Germany, has been
signed. 1t demands a peace of JUS

tinuation of the blockade against Ger

says that although Dorten and his CO.
administrators were received coldly by
the populace they were not moiested
owing to the presence of the officers,
who ordered that Dortens Instructions
be obeyed.

feet that the autonomy of Mongolia
