treaty.

Austria is to consent to the abroga
tion of the treaties of 1839, by which
Belgium was established as a neu
tral state and her frontiers tixed,
and to accept in advance any con
vention with which the Allies may
determine to replace them. Austria
adheres to the abrogation of the neu
trality of the Grand Duchy of Luxem
burg and accepts in advance a!l in
ternationa! agreements as to it
reached by the Allied and associated
powers. Austria accepts all arrange?
ments which the Allied and associ?
ated powers make with Turkey and
Bulgaria, with reference to any
rights, privileges or interests
claimed in these countries by Aus?
tria or her nationals and not dealt
with elsewhere. Austria accepts all
arrangements with the Allied and
associated powers made with Ger
many concerning the territories
whose abandonment wae imposed
upon Denmark by the treaty of lSrt4.
Protection of Minorities
In a series of special clauses Aus?
tria undertakes to bring her institu
tions into conformity witii the prin?
ciples of iiberty and .justice and
acknowledges that the obligations for
the protection of minorities are mat
ters of internationa! concern over
which the league of nations has juris
diction. She assures complete pro?
tection of life and liberty to all in
habitants of Austria, without dis
tinction of birth, nationality, lan
guage, race or religion, together
with the right to the free exercise
of any creed.

to racial, religious or linguistie minor?
ities are to enjoy the same pro?
tection as other Austrian nationals,
in particular in regard to schools and
other educational establishments, and
in districts where a considerable
proportion of Austrian nationals of
other than German speech are resi
dent, facilities are to be given in
schools for the instruction of chil
dren in their own language and an
equable share of public t'und.s is to
be provided for the purpose. These |
provisions do not preclude the Aus?
trian government from making the :
teaching of German obligatory. They
are to be embodied by Austria in her
fundamentai law as a bil! of right3 j
and provisions regarding them are '
to be under the protection of the
league of nations.
Rights Qutside Europe

and privileges as to her own or her
allies' territories to ali the Allied and
associated powers, and undertakes to
accept whatever measures are taken
by the principal Allied powers in re
lation thereto.
The clauses as to Egypt, Morocco,
China and Siam are identical after
the necessary modifications with
those of the German treaty, except
that especially in the case of China
there is no need for so great detail.
The portions of the German treaty
as to Liberia are not included, owing
to the fact that Austria was not at
war with Liberia.
Military Clauses
The military clauses are reserved .
Naval Clauses
Austria may have no military or
naval air forccs, including dirigi
bles, must demoiish all existing
forces within two months and must
stvrrender to the principal powers

salvage not to be used except for in
dustrial purposes and not to be sold
to foreign countries. The construc?
tion or acquisition of any submarine
even for commercial purposes is for
bidden. All naval arms, ammunition
and other war material belonging to
Austria-Hungary at the date of the
armistice shali be surrendered to the
Allies. The Austrian wireless sta?
tion at Vienna is not to be used for
naval, military or politieal messages
relating to Austria or her late allies
without the assent of the Allied and
associated governmentsr during three
months, but only for commercial
purposes under supervision. During
the same period Austria is not to
build any more high power wireless
s ta t i o n s.

send any military. naval or air mis
sion to any foreign country, nor to
allow Austrian nationals to enlist in

of the ex-Kaiser of Germany. and
the addition of a provision requiring
the new state to help prosecute and
punish any of their nationals so
guilty.
The section on reparations is re
served.
Financial Clauses
The financial clauses are reserved.
Eeonomie Clauses
Economic clauses are, except in cer?
tain details, such as shippping, sim?
ilar to those of the German treaty.
Special provisions are added, how
ever, for former Austro-Hungarian
nationals acqu ring an allied nation
ality. Similar to those in the Ger?
man treaty. relating to the inhabi
t'> ?'" ~ of Alsace-Lorraine, their con
tracts are maintained subject to can
cellation by their governments. Aus?
tria undertakes to recognize any
agreement or convention made by the
Aiiies to safeguard the interests of
their nationals in any undertakings
constituted under Austro-Hungarian
law which operates in territories de
tached from the former Austrian
Empire, and to transfer any neces
sary documents and information in
regard to thi n
Freedom of Transit
The clauses as to freedom of
transit are the same in the Austrian
as in the German treaty, except for
the omission of provisions affect
ing Germany alone and i he insertion
of specific clauses granting'Austria
transit privileges through former
Austro-Hungarian territory in order
to assure her access to the Adriatic.
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous provisions are, af?
ter necessary substitutions, virtually
identical with those of the German
treaty. The treaty is to come into
force when signed by Austria and
three principal powers and to be ef- j
fective for the individual states on
the deposit of their specific ratifica
tions.
These privileges are to be ampli
fied by special conventions with the
states concerned.

causing gasps of mingled horror and
amusement, also impaired the formal
dignity of the scene.
Orientals First to Arrive
It was 'he same setting as in the j
Trianon at Versailles, although on a '
reduced scale.
The Japanese and Chinese delegates
were the first to arrive in the stone
walled room and take their places at
the table. They were closely followed
by M. Clemenceau, who came early to
see that a!! arrangements were in
crder.
The others f.led in rapldly several
minutes before noon. and all the
plenipotentiaries were in their places
except President Wilson and Colonel
House. Anxious glances were cast a*
the empty chairs of these leading
plenipotentiaries as the minutes passed
beyond the hour set for the ceremony
Finally an official was sent to the
telephone to learn if anything had
happened. The President appeared at
12:12 and took his seat after a brief
colloquy with M. Clemenceau. Word
was immediately sent to the headquar
ters of the Austrians.
They entered one by one ten min
utes later through a door at the rear
of the hall, The head usher of the
Foreign Office, wearing his silver
chain, announced the appearance of
the Austrian plenipotentiaries.

ECAUSE they know that The Dictaphone ic the most modern and cbnvenient way to get
the daiiy mail down the mail-chute. Its always-'ready convenience saves sc much tirr.e
that each executive's desk is cleared much earlier in the day. Thus he has more time to
think and p!an and look after his health, and his secretary or stenographer has more oppor
tunity to do her work comfortably before closing time, and without those nerve-straining
interruptions.
