St. Germain-en-Laye, June 2. I
Terms of peace were presented to the
Austrian delegates by the Alied na
tions today, and the delegation was
given fifteen days for reply.
The entire peace treaty was not
presented to the Austrians today and
the fifteen day' stipulation with regard
to their reply therefore refers only to
the portion of the terms handed them
at toijty's session.
The conditions of peace of the Al
lied and Associated Powers, -with the
exception of military reparatons, fin
ancial and certain boundary clauses,
were handed to the Austrian plenipo
tentiaries at St. Germain today. Those !
causes which are not yet ready for
presentation will be delivered as soon
as possible, the Austrians in the mean
time having, the opportunity to begin
work on the greater part of the treaty
in an effort to facilitate a final deci
sion.
Following is a summary of the con
ditions of peace, as presented:
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 clauses which applied ony to
Germany are, of course, omitted, and
certain new clauses included, especial
ly as regards the new states created
out of the former Austro-Hungarian
Empire, and the potection of the
rights of the -racial religious and lin
guistic minorities in Austria, Czecho
Slovakia, Rumania and the Serb-Croat
Slovene state.
Austria is left by the treaty a state
of from 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 people in
habiting a territory of between 5,000
and 6,000 square miles, she is required
to recognize the complete indepen
dence of Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia
and the Serbo-Croat-Slovene state,
and to cede other territories which
previously in union with her com
posed the Empire of Austria-Hungary
with ts popuation of over 50,000,000
people.
Austria agrees 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 ad
mit the right, of trial by the Allied and
Associated Powers of her nationals
guilty of violating the law and cus
toms of force, and to accept detailed
provisions similar to those of the. Ger
man treaty as to economic relations
and freedom of transit.
In the following summary Part I of
the treaty containing the covenant of
the League of Nations and Part XII
containing the labor convention are
omitted as being identical with corre
sponding sections of the German
treaty. Part VI, dealing with prison
ers of war and graves, and Part I,
with aerial navigation, are also iden
tical except for the substituiton of
names, and are likewise omitted. Part
III cf the German treaty containing
guarantees of execution is not parai
eled in the Austrian treaty.
Preamble of the Treaty.
The preamble is longer and more
detailed than in the German summary
and is as follows:
"Whereas, on the request of the for
mer Imperial and Royal Austro-Hun-I
garian Government an armistice was
granted to Austria -Hungary on No
vember 3, 131S, by the principal Allied

. Clemenceau spoke for only three
minutes. The hall was densely packed
.an?L0,f t!le secretaries having been
adm;tted to the chamber, and the
denseness of the throng detracted
somewhat from the impressiveness of
the ceremony. .
Premier Clemenecau spoke in French.
His remarks were translated into
Lnghsh. then into Italian and then into
German.
Paul Dutasta. general secretary- -0f

terms to the Austrians at 12.30 o'clock.

speech, and his attitude, liko that
the entire Austrian delegation, was
extremely courteous. contrasting
sharply with that of Count von Brock-
umu-naiiraii ana the Germans at
Versailles. The conciliatory tones of
Dr. Renner apparently created a good
impression on the allied delegates. The
general atmosphere seemed quite
friendly.
"Our state rests in your hands." said
Dr. Renner in his speech, "and we hope
before the conscience of the world that
the allies will not abuse this power."
Dr. Renner opened with a complaint
at the delay in the presentation of tha
peace terms. The chancellor said the
Austrian republic was entirely free
from the Haspburg dynasty. It would
never have declared war itself, he as- '
serted. He concluded his address at
12.50 o'clock.
Dr. Renner expressed gratitude for
the fcod relief that had come from
Herbert C. Hoover's commission. He
promised loyally to do his best to
bring about peace on the basis pre
sented. After Dr. Renner's address Premier
Clemenceau asked if anyone else do

and he declared the ceremony ended.
Chateai; Rich in History.
The palace at St. Germain where
the peace terms were presented to
the Austrians is rich with historic
memories, recalling associations with
Mary Queen of Scots; Catherine de
Medici, 'iana of Poitiers and the de
throned James II of England, among
others. B'ar more ancient history.
however, is linked with it, for from
the walls of the conference chamber
hang the earliest known intelligent
records of prehistoric man in the
form of rude traceries.
For President Wilson, Premier
Lloyd George, Premier Clemenceau
and other allied statesmen attendance
upon the ceremony involved an au
tomobile ride of about twenty miles by ,
a roundabout route thrpu.i the Bijis
au Boulogne and Kocquentourt, which
had been chosen instead of the direct ,
thoroughfare from Paris to St, Ger
main vyhich is hardly better adapted to
rapid transit than the roads over
which the court of France once drove
in its travels from Paris to the Sumpef
residence at St. Germain. For miles
before reaching the place the plenipo
tentiaries could se-e the high towers of.
the ancient stronghoult first built ln
the twelfth century to guard the pass
ages of the Seine, burned by the Black
Prince in 1346, and rebuilt in the cen
turies following the English evpulskm
from France, and now serving as an
anthropological museum.
Steep, curving roads lead from tile
valley of the Seine to the square be
fore the chateau, where the various
automobiles halted. Two squadrons of"
cavalry drawn up in the square kept
back the limited number of spectators i
who could find places on--the sidewalk.
The co h erence hall was reached over ,
a drawbridge leading to the inner
court of the castle, -where dismounted
dragoons wttre stationed to render
military honors to the representatives'
of the allied nations. Two narrow '
flights of stairs were mounted tlvmce
to the ceremonial chamber. A few
privileged spectators looked out upon
the scene within the courtyard from
the window:' of the apartments occu
pied by James II after his dethrone
ment and flight from Englahd.
The roorl selected for the ceremony
although the largest, in thexastle pro
vided scant room 11 give an effective
setting to such a function as that of
today. It is known as the Stone Age
or Pre-Historic Hall, and was almost
entirely occupied, by the conference
table arranged in a rectangle, leaving
scant room for the tables of the sec
retaries crowded against the wall and
a cramped space for a. limited num-.r
ber V correspondents. Chairs were
p'aced for President Wilson and Pre
miers Clemenceau and Lloyd George
at the head of the table, flanked on
either hand by places for the other
delegati I's, which ran around three
sides of .the rectangle, ai in the5 cere
monial at- Versailles when the peace;
terms were handed to the Germans..
The foot of the 'tabid was reserved for
Chancellor Renner .and his six col
leagues. A tab'e for the Austrian sec
retaries and . interpreters - was placed
behind the Austrian plenipotentiaries,
and to the- rear bf these came space
for the press. .
The conference table was draped hi
red, rValling the grewsome jest of an."
