 Like the German government. the Austrian government is said to be dis satisfied with the peace terms of the allied and associated powers. which are declared by one of the responsible newspapers of Vienna to be unaccept- able.
 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 shat the terms are based on might. and not on President Will sons fourteen points.

ANXIOUS DAY IN PEACE

Paris, June 4.-(By The A. P.) This has been an anxious day throughout peace conference circles, with both the German and Austrian treaties in the balance, and every effort is being made 10 secure early and united ac- ton.
 Indications were that certain gene raj results are already beginning to take form. The German counter-pro- poSals as a whole undoubtedly will be rs.ected, but a number of suggestions may be embodied in the allied treaty, not with any purpose of modifying or softening the document. but for the purpose of making it workable and achieving the supreme end of getting it signed and restoring peace.
 Certain concrete results also appear 10 be taking form. namely, the fixing of separations at definite sum around one hundred billion marks, in stead of giving the commission inde- finite authority to assess beyond thai sum; reducing the period of occupa- ton of the western frontier from fif- teen to ten years; readjuStment oi the Silesia terms, at which Germany was greatly aroused, so that the pop ulstion may secure self lf-determination probably through a plebiscite.

CRiTlcIZES GERMAN STAND
 ON PRISONER QUESTION

Berne, June CF'rench Wireless Service} The German propaganda against the retention of German pris- oners cf war by the allied governments does not taken into consideration what the Germans did in northern France nor how deeply the systematic de- struction there has influenced allied minds, says Professor Foester of the University of Munich in an article in the review Montag criticizing the Ger man attitude on the prisoner question.
 The propaganda he says. reveals a lack of psychology and leads one to think that the new ideas have not spread everywhere. One of the most famous of German university men wrote some time ago that the idea of detaining the German prisoners of war recalled the proceedings of the ancient Assyrians. It was not necessary for the writer to search the Assyrian an- nals. Did he really never hear of the deportati tion of Belgian workmen and of the unheard- of methods applied on that occasion? Does he really not know that hundreds of girls were car ried away from occupied French towns and forced to work at hard labor; and does he not know that most of these girls were forced to aid in the de- struction of the weaving frames in
 their own country? Is he not aware of the fact that we have ourselves de- tained hundreds of goods of Russian prisoners, not only after the armistice with Russia. but also after the Brest- l Litovsk peace?
 ''What impression is likely to be
 made on those who are to determine Lth- efate of our prisoners by the fact
 that the spokesmen of German opinion | continue to conceal the Germar i crimes? How would we feel toward ] France if our f1ourishing cities had 1 been ruined for years and if as we ] did in a great many places, our fruit l bearing trees had been cut down an6 l only the ordinary trees left?'
