AUSTRIA MUST PAY,
SALES VERDICT
Cant Escape Responsibility
for flaming Militaristic
Spirit, Vienna Told.

PARIS, Sept. 3.-The people. OF Aus
ria, although that country is no
.onger under the monarchial regime
that brought on the war cannot es-
cape responsibility for the conaict.
and must pay for its consequence.
This is the message being conveyed
to Vienna today BY DR.. Karl Renner,
Austrian chancellor, who was handed
the peace treaty yesterday.
At the same time Renner was given
the treaty he received the allied reply
to the Austrian counter-propOsals.
Austrfa's plea for clemency was re-
jected. the allies pointing out the war
was precipittated by an ultimattum %
Serbia from the Vienna government,
and that the Austrian people made no
effort to curb the militarist spirit
which dominated the Hapsburg
regime.
In answering Austria's protest with
regard to the formation Of new
states from the late Austro-Hungar-
tan nation, the allies declared parti-
tion was an inevitable result OF the
policy Of ascendaney which the Wen
ma government pursued over subject
peoples.
The allies pointed out. however,
that they were eager TO assist Aus
tria in adapting herself to her new
position, and for this reason had
made certain economic notifications
in the treaty. Austria will receive
coal from Czecho-Slovahia and Po-
land in return for raw materials.
The allies refused to grant any fur
ther territorial concessions.
The allied note. signed by Premier
CIemenceau, requires an answer in
five days.

Trim Ankle Is Never
ImmOdest, Says Chicago
Marion, Defending Style

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-The charge
that Chicago women and their
dress are the cause Of men flirt-
ing with them, made recently by
Mrs. George Rasmussen. whose
husband was hailed to court on
charges OF Leona Hall, an actress.
who claimed Rasmussen "flirt-
cd" with her, is being resented by
a number OF Chicago women.
They claim that styles never
were more modest and sensible
than at the present time.
Mrs. Heaton owsIey. of Glen
coe. in discussing the question.
said:
"Chicago women not only dress
sensibly but modestly. Some ex-
tremists there are, OF course. but
they are in such q minority as to
make Mrs. RasmusseR's charge
absolutely ridiculous"
Mrs. Edward Leight. said to be
one Of Chicago's best-dressed
women. said:
"a trim ankle Is never immod-
est -Deeollete Is very much low
er in Paris and skirts ridiculous
ly higher"
Amelia Sears, welfare worker
and official of the Associated
Charities, said Mrs. Rasmussen's
statement gave her "quite q
chuekle" and continued:
mo matter what the dress OF
our women happens to- be a man
should not be so weak as to have
such a statement made in defense
OF his suceumbing to a tempta-
,tion to risk a fIirtation."

He. OIL. DOOMED,
DECLARES HOOVER
Food Dictator Declares Spec
ulatOrs Have Reached End
Of Their Powers.

PARIS, Sept "A tremendous drop
in food prices may be expected in the
United States during the next few
months. said Herbert Hoover, contin-
Uing his testimony before the Con-
gressional committee investigating
war expenditures. The spectators
have reached the end OF their powers,
Hoover declared, and are no longer to
maintain corners in stocks, owing to
Europe's inability to purchase Amer
ica's overproduction.
Warehouses in Amsterdam. Rottef-
dom. Copenhagen. and Stockholm are
now full Of foodstuffs from America" :"
he said, but no outlet exists, as the
countries in need Of it are unable to
pay for it at present prices.
United States Must Grant Credits.
Spectators OF the entire world are
responsible for the present high
prices, through boarding in anticipa-
tion Of European demands, which
have not developed. The American
Government must intervene by grant
ing credits to the nations needing
food as well as by fixing maximum
and minimum prices in the United
States.
An extremely dangerous situation
win result in case the United States
Government does not assist producers
in finding outlets for their goods
During the war American products OF
all kinds increased three-fold. Un-
less there are permanent markets for
these products terrible reaction is
inevitable, counterEeting all the pro-
duction incentives which caused the
present inefficiency.
American farmers are entitled to
the greatest consideration, After
Governmental stimulation their pro-
duction must be guaranteed markets."
Speaking of the general European
situation, Hoover said:
Belgium In Coed shape.
Belgium is in the best condition
industrially. Agricultural production
in all the European nations is near
ingAa normal state, but the countries
which have emerged from the war
viii need American financial assist
ance for another eighteen months.
"Bolshevism is permanently head
ed on in western Europe. ] believe
one OF the most effective weapons
used against this menace was the re-
lief of the American Food Admins
tration. Committees composed of the
so-called better classes took care Of
the children. OF the poor, thereby
breaking up class antagOnisms."
Hoover maintained that he had no
knowledge of the War Departments
surplus food stocks in April before
his purchase Of large quantities from
Italy. He said he would have bought
from the War Department IL he had
known the circumstances.

Who was Miss Elizabeth" who
took q hand in the card parties at the
Cooper home? This is the question
which police are trying now to solve.

expected momentarily.
None Of the other people at the
Cooper parties are known. None Of
Cooper's friends or associates have
come forward to tell police OF having
been at these gatherings at the muir
dered mans home prior to the killing.
Following the testimony Of the serv-
ants, the blackmail theory, which was
dropped early in the Investigation Of
the crime. comes once more into con-
sideratton. Cooper borrowed $4,000
from a Nashville bank few days be-
fore his death, drawing out only $500
of'it, however. and leaving the rest on
deposit w. o. Parker. wealthy pro-
prietor OF the famous Belle-Meade
farm, and a director in the bank from
police of the transaction. Cooper was
a close friend and neighbor OF. Par

did not tell him what the money was

The bootlegger theory was aban-

and a woman associate were arrested
Monday night and grilled for houts
before they were released today. Of

with the case because he owned an
automobile of the same make as the
car seen on the night Of the tragedy
near where Cooper's deserted auto-
mobile was later found. They had
also been informed that Feuston once
sold a quantity Of whiskey to Cooper.

Union Rail Men to
Industrial Parley

Washington, Sept. 24.-Presidcnt
Wilson, it was learned late yester-
day, has taken steps to provide the
big railroad unions with representa-
ton at the White House industrial
conference despite the fact that the
railroad organizations were virtual
ly. ignored in the appointment of

fifteen named by Mr.. Gompers. Only
one of the Gompers appointees, Will
liam H. Johnston, of the machinists.

ed 100000 railroad employees, and

American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Morrison said Director General
Hines lnNllutlOn 10 appoint au-
ditional delegates had been received
by the railway employees department
of the federation and was under con-
sideration.

of the railroads cannot be ignored
as a topic of discussion.

their first real workout. The squad
was given it's system of play, and

play.
After going over the plays. the

those most likely to be broken were
emphasized. A little inside talk on
football closed the work for the day
