PARIS. May l3.-Progcess has been

nouncement was made to-day that the
document will be completed and be
ready for presentation to the Austrian
delegates. who arrive at st. Germain
tomorrow. within five days. Follow
ing the presentation the Austrians
will have one week in which to sign
the treaty. This they are expected to
do, although It is likely that there will
be some grumbling.
Though some difficulties were en-
countered in framing the terms for
the Austrians. the treaty with Ger
many served as guide. The Austrian
treaty will contain a clause for the
trial of all military offenders before an
international court. This will be the
same in wording as the clause in the
German treaty. bringing the military
offenders to the bar Of justice for trial
and punishment for offenses committed
during the war

Special Desputch 10 The Sux.

WASHINGTON. May 13.-France, Italy
and other European countries may
place orders for as much as 5000 900
gross tons of shipping with American
shipyards as a result OF an order by
President Wilson to-day permitting the
building of such ships for foreign ac-
counts provided 1t could be done with
out interference with the construction
OF the American merchant marine.
The order was announced in a state
ment issued at the White House and
was promulgated at the suggestion Of
Edward n. Hurley, chairman of the
Shipping Board.
II was stated in Shipping Board circles
tonight that the issuance of the order
meant a great revival OF ship building
in America. and is great boon TO the
American industry. Officials OF the
board would not venture more than a
guess as 10 the tonnage American shir
builders might expect as the result OF
| the Presidents order, but it was said
| that good. substantial orders might be
expected for the Pacific and Atlantic
yards. Norway is expected to place
large orders. possibly as high as 1000
! 600 tons. and France and Italy. It was
explained, probably will let contracts
for considerable tonnage.
| France already has placed contracts
for 800. 900 tons in England. for delivery
within three years. and officials believe
that she may give American yards a
| good share Of the additional 100000,
tons she is expected to require. Italy
/ probably will be in the market for abof
! 5000 tons but England is not eX
pected to place any orders In this coun
try. 1t was explained at the offices o
the Shipping Board, however, that few
orders could be placed Immediately, al
the capacity OF the yards for foregr
account is as yet limited. Only five o
six yards are now in a position TO TAX
foreign orders, but the situation grad

PARIS. May 13.-Two more diplo-
matte notes were received from the
Germans to-day, besides request for
oral communication with the experts
of the Allies, which will be refused
The most interesting note is in re-
gard to responsibility. 1t Is under
stood it asks the Allies to produce
proof against the Kaiser and of the
charge that the Germans brought on
the war. expressing willingness to
produce documents, but only on con-
lition that the tribunal shall be made
up of neutrals.
The other note represents the first
of a series in regard to territorial
questions, the Germans protesting
against the. loss of the Saar Valley.
The German programme is to con-
tinue such notes during the remain
ing ten days, concluding with a gen
eral summary covering the entire
correspondence and declaring then
that they must submit the entire
issue to the German people, the pres
ent delegates probably reslgning.
As seen in allied circles, the Ger.
man strategy has twofold OBJ
iect. The first Is 10 appeal over the
heads of the Peace Conference to
the radicals in the countries of the
Allies, who already have denounced
, the treaty and have expressed chcir
utter dlSapproval Of the League OF
Nations covenant, the Germans hop
ing thereby TO bring pressure on

demning Won Brockdorff- Rantzau' 5

dumb on the subject.
