M. Clemenceaa, president of the peace conference, was the first prominent figure to arrive at the meeting at which the terms of peace were presented. Secretary Lansing and Henry White were the first American representatives to arrive, Premier Orlando of Italy and Premier Paderewski of Poland and Arthur J. Balfour following. Col. E. M. House was the only member of the American delegation not present In addition to the conference representatives of the allied and associated powers there were present many distinguished persons, including Marshal Foch, General Bliss, Admiral Benson and American Ambassador Wallace. Wilaon Delaya Proceedings, f f resident Wilson delayed the cerettJOtiy of presentation. He reached St Germain at 12:14. A puncture of the tire of his automobile held him up on the way. The mishap occurred at St Cloud. While the punctured tire was being mended an army car passed. It was commandeered by the president's party and the president and Rear Admiral Grayson drove at high speed to fit Germain. The Austrian representatives arrived at 12:22 o'clock, entering the chamber *y a rear entrance. The delegates were attired in conventional morning dress. The Austrians were escorted in by an Italian officer. Immediately upon their arrival at 12:22 p. m. the session was opened formally by announcement of the head usher. Premier Clemenceau, president of the peace conference, at once began his address. Clemenceau'* Words Translated. Clemenceau spoke in French. His remarks were translated into English, . then into Italian and then into Get* man. He spoke only three minutes. •* The hall was densely packed, many of the secretaries having been admitted to the chamber and the denseness ,of the throng detracted somewhat from the impressiveness of the ceremony. Paul Dutasta, general secretary of the peace conference, presented the terms to the Austrians at 12:37. Dr. Karl Renner, the Austrian chancellor and head of the delegation, then began an address in French. The Austrians closely followed the words of the French premier, especially Siatin, who tugged nervously at his ragged beard as be leaned forward watching the speaker. Doctor Renner promised loyally to do his best to work out a peace on the basis presented. "Our state rests In your hand," said Doctor Renner following the presentation of the allies' terms, "and we hope before the - Conscience of the world that the allies Will not abuse this power." ' The entire peace treaty was not presented to the Austrians, apd the 15- day stipulation with regard to their reply, therefore, refers onlv to the por of the terms handed them, .v Doctor Renner Complains of Delay. + Doctor Renner opened with a complaint at the delay in the presents tion of the peace terms. The ehan- ,C«Hor declared the Austrian republic was entirely free from the Hapsburg dynasty. It would never have de- " clared war Itself, he asserted. The chancellor concluded his address at 12:50. The address was translated Into English and Italian! * ^Doctor Renner stood while reading Ms speech, and his attitude, like that of the entire Austrian delegation, was extremely courteous, contrasting sharply with that of Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau and the Germans at Versailles. The conciliatory tones of Doctor Renner apparently created a good impression on the allied delegation. The general atmosphere seemed igaite friendly.

The nurse, or whoever carries the Infant, should enter the «hurch with the right foot stepping {Clemenceau asked If anyone else deal red to speak. There was no response and he declared the ceremony ended. The translation of Premier Clemenceau" s and Chancellor Renner's speeches into three languages occupied the larger part of the session. It adjourned at 1:14 o'clock after hav.tifc taken up 52 minutes. Doctor Renner probably will go to Switzerland. Those clauses which are not- yet ready for presentation will be delivered as soon as possible, the Austrians In the meantime having the opportunity to begin work on the greater part of the treaty In an effort to facilitate a final decision. Follows German Treaty. The Austrian treaty follows exactly the same outline as the German, and in many places is Identical with it except for the change in name. Certain specific new clauses Included, especially as regards the new states created out of the former Austro- Hungarinn empire and the protection of the rights of the racial, religious and linguisitic minorities in Austria, Ceecho-Slovakia, Roumanla and Serb- Croat-Slovene state. Austria is left by the treaty a state of from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 people, inhabiting a territory of between 5.000 and 6,000 square miles. She is required to recognize the complete Independence of Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the Serb-Croat- Slovene state, and to cede other territory which previously In union with her composed the, empire of Austria-Hungary, with " its population of over 50.000.000 people. To Demobilise Navy. Austria agreed to accept the league of nations covenant and the labor charter, to renounce all her extra European rights, to demobilize her whole naval and aerial forces, to admit the right of trial by the allied and associated powers of her nationals guilty of violating the law and customs of force, and to accept detailed provisions similar to those of the German treaty as to economic relations and freedom of transit. Of the following summary part one of the treaty containing the covenant of the league of nations and part twelve, containing the labor convention, are omitted as being identical with corresponding sections of the German treaty. Part six, dealing with prisoners of war and graves, and part eleven, with aerial navigation, are also Identical except for the substitution of names, and are likewise omitted. Part thirteen of the German treaty containing guarantees of execution is not paralleled in the Austrian treaty. Preamble. The preamble . Is longer and more detailed than In the German summary and is as follows: "Whereas, on the request of the former imperial and royal Austm-Hungnrlan government, an armistlco was granted to Austria-Hungary on November 3. 1918, by the principal allied and associated powers in order that a treaty of peace might be Concluded, and, "Whereas, the allied and associated powers are equally desirous that the war in which certain among them were successfully involved, directly or Indirectly, against Austria, and which originated in the declaration of war against Serbia on July 28,1914, by the former imperial and royal Austro- Hungnrian government, and in the hostilities conducted by Germany in alliance with Austria-Hungary should be replaced by a firm, just and durable peace: and "Whereas, the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy has now ceased to exist, and has been replaced in Austria by a republican government ; and "Whereas, the principal allied and associated powers have already recognized that the Czeeho-Slovak state, In which are Incorporated certain portions of snid monarchy, is a free. Independent and allied state ; and "Whereas, the said powers have recognized the union of certain portions of the said monarchy with the territory of the kingdom of Serbia as a free, Independent and allied state, under the name of Serb-Croat-Slovene state; and "Whereas, it is necessary while restoring pence to regulate the situation which has arisen from the dissolution of the snid monarchy and the formation of the said states, and to establish the government of these countries on a firm foundation of Justice and equity. Recognized as Republic. "For this purpose the high conteaet* ing parties, duly named "Who, having communicated their full powers, found In good and due form, have agreed as follows: "From the coming into force of the present treaty the state of war Will terminate. "Austria is recognized as a new and Independent state under the name of the Republic of Austria. "From that moment, and subject to the provisions of this treaty, official relations will exist btween the allied and associated powers and the Republic of Austria." briskly and dancing the baby In her arras, so that the little one shall grow up cheerful and light-hearted..

Count. Brockdorff-Rantzau - In. his note, the text of which was made public by the state department further asserts: "The more deeply we pentrate into the spirit of this treaty, the more convinced we become of the Impossibility of carrying it out" The text of the German note, dated May 29, reads: "I have the honor to transmit to you herewith the observations of the German delegation on the draft treaty of peace. We came to Versailles in the expectation of receiving a peace proposal based on the agreed principles. We were firmly resolved to do everything in our power with a view "of fulfilling the grave obligations wbicb we had undertaken. "We hoped for the peace of Justice which had been promised to us. We were aghast when we read In documents the demands made upon us (?) the victorious violence of our enemies. "The more deeply we penetrate Into the spirit of this treaty the more convinced we become of the Impossibility of carrying It out. The executions of this treaty are more than the German people can bear. "With a view to the re-establishment of the Polish state we must renounce Indisputably German territory, nearly the whole of the province of West Prussia, which is preponderantly German; of Pomeranla, Danzig, which Is German to the core. We must let the ancient Hanse town be transformed Into a free state under Polish suzerainty. "We must agree that East Prussia shall be amputated from the body of the state, condemned to a lingering death and robbed of its northern portion, including Memel, which is purely German. We must renounce Upper Silesia for the benefit of Poland and Czecho-Slovakia, although it has been in close political connection with Germany for more thnn 750 years. Is Instinct with German life, and forms the very foundation of industrial life throughout east Germany. "Preponderantly German circles (Krelse) must be ceded to Belgium. "Although the- exaction of the cost of the war has. been expressly renounced, as yet Germany, thus cut la pieces and weakened, must declare herself ready ih principle to bear all the war "expenses of her enemies, which would exceed many times over the total amount of German state and private assets. The German "people would be condemned to perpetual slave labor. 'In spite of the exorbitant demands, the reconstruction of our Economic life is at the same time rendered impossible. We must surrender our merchant fleet We are to renounce all foreign securities. We are to hand over to our enemies eur property In all German enterprises abroad, even in the countries of our allies. Even after the conclusion of peace the enemy stntes are to have the right of confiscating all German property. No German trader in their countries will be protected from these war measures.- We must completely renounce our colonies, and not even German missionaries shall have the right to follow their calling therein. We must renounce the realization. of all our alms in the spheres of politics* economics and ideas." COMPLIMENT TO A LAWYER ^Late M. M.

Statements |rom Federal Reserve -v Afwta Said to Point to Summar j and Autumn of Unusual - Prosperity. Washington, June 2.--A noticeable upward trend in business during May, especially in those lines related to the leading detail trades which have felt the release of buying power held back by the war, was reported by the federal reserve board. Practically uniform reports from federal reserve agents were said to point to a summer and autumn of unusual activity. A warning was added, however, against accepting the prospective prosperity at Its full face value until conditions become more clarified. "The country seems to be passing through a period of free expenditure or reaction from the enforced economy and business restrictions of the war period," a statement by the board said. "If the present activity should prove to be based principally on these causes, a reaction may be looked for when these forces have spent themselves." i The price and reconstruction situation was said to be practically a continuation of that noted In April, with prices showing no tendency to retrograde. One federal reserve bank found that "the public Is slowly adjusting itself to the conviction that there is to be no rapid post-war drop in prices and Is reconciling Itself to the probability that the old pre-w&r basis may never again be reached." Agriculturally, the remarkable promise of the early spring appears to be sustained in an unusual degree, the statement said. Diversification due to organized effort ,is making progress and the cash retufns to farmers are expected to be more than ever before. Prices of cattle are considerably higher than a year ago, while sheep are lower. Receipts of hogs have been sma'ler, with the price continuing to advance. In steel and Iron the month's output fell to the lowest figures in many months, but a much better tone in the market was noted. While the bituminous <?oal Industry was reported depressed, with an output less than 70 per cent of that a year ago, operators, were said to be optimistic for the future. The current use of the fuel Is in excess of production. After several weeks of almost no demand the copper market showed a slight Improvement. General manufacturing was said to be showing decided improvement. The wool markets were strong, with prices In favor of the seller. Large orders have been placed for yarns and finished goods and woolen and worsted mills are going back to full time. These conditions are reflected in the demand for dry goods and shoes. Shoe prices are being marked up for fall delivery, the outlook being for an increase of 25 to 50 cents a pair for retailers. Retail trade is assuming unprecedented volume, while prices continue abnormally high. Retailers- In most sections had made little or no adjustment, but continued to demand prices based upon war conditions, the board said. In New York large establishments report a large volume of business, . two-thirds greater than a year ago, and In Chicago returns range from 25 to 50 per cent in excess of 1918. In the South there is said to be "no contraction in the public buying power," while a greater proportion of cash sales is reported. In buildings there has been a distinct revival throughout the country. Real estate values were said to be hardening, with sales of farm lands on the increase. "The banking position of the country is reported as on* the whole sound, present circumstances considered," the board said, and "reserve percentages of the federal reserve system have shown an ability to hold their own."
