day given IS daya to reply to tho
terms of peace presented by th al
lied nation.
The entire treaty was not present'; I
to tha Anetrlana and tb li day' at
tflatinn with regard to their rep'y.
therefore, refer only to the ponton
of the .term banded them at Monday'
session.
Following Is a aummary of tb con
dition of peace aa preaented to the
Austrian plenipotentiaries:
Tbe conditions of peace of th allied
and assembled powers, with exception
of military reparations, financial and
certain boundary clause, wer banded
to th Austrian plenipotentiaries.
Those clauses which are not yet ready
for presentation will bo delivered as
soon aa possible, the Austrian in the
meantime having th opportunity to
begin work on lb greater part ot th
treaty In aa effort to facllltat a final
decision. -,
Tbe Austrian treaty follow exactly
th same outline aa th German, and
In many place I Identical with It
except for the change In name. Cer
tain specific clause which applied
only to Germany are of course omit
ted, and certain new clause Included,
especially aa regards th new states
created out of th former Autro-Hun-carian
empire and the. protection ot
the rights of th racial, religious and
linguistic minorities in Austria. Cxe-cho-Slovakia,
Roumanla and tb Serbian-Croatian
Slovenian atate,
Austria la left by tbe treaty a atate
of from t.000.000 or 7.000,000 people
Inhabiting a territory of between 0v0
and (000 square rnHea. She ia requir
ed to recognize the complete Inde
pendence of Hungary. Csecho-Btovakla

gary with Ita population of over 60,
000.000 people.
Austria agrees to accept tho League
of Nations covenant and the labor
charter, to renounce all her extra
European rights, to demobilise ber
whole naval and aerial forces, to ad
mit the right ot trial by the allied and
associated powers ot ber nationals

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.
The preservation of structural ma
terials, which muy be ohtnined through
the application of point, constlttnea a
most vital means of furthering the con
servation of our natural resources. It
Is, moreover, th most economical
method or sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu
nity. A structure conted with sheets of In
dia rubber would not be as well protect
ed from decay ns a structure coated
with a good oil pnlnt, This is due to
the fact that a sheet of rubber Is not
so durable or as waterproof ns a thin
dried film of pnlnt. The inner mate
rial when applied dries to n continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A squnre foot of such a
film npon a wooden surface coms 1pm
tliHii a penny, yet it will beautify and
protect a dollnr'a worth of suffiice fr
many years. This is a low rate of In
surance. Dwellings, bams, outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons.
Implements, windmills and other struc
tures, whether of wood. Iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the uso
of pnlnt. from rapid decay. Hlch grade
paint muy be used successfully for ft II
such imrnosea. Colore paints will be
found lite most sevlccuble, tbe coloring

to three yeaia to the life of the coating
Washington. Another attempted
reign of torror. directed chiefly
against public officials who hsva been
active In their prosecution of enemy
aliens and other radicals, waa launch

A bomb explosion which damaged
the residence ot Attorney-General A.
Mitchell Palmar, In Washington, but
which apparently resulted only In tha
death of the bomb planter, waa fol
lowed at brief intervala by similar ex
plosions In seven other cities in a belt
extending from Cleveland to Boston.
Besides Washington, Cleveland and
Boston, cities in which bomb outrages
occurred were Pittsburg, Peterson. N.
J.; West Philadelphia, New York and
Newtonville,aMasa.
i West Philadelphia and Pittsburg
w ere subjected to two separate explo
sions. The similarity of the reports re
ceived from the various cities recalled
to the authorities the May-day bomb
plot of a month ago.
The bomb planted under the stepa
of tho homo of the attorney-general
wrecked the dwelling, smashed In the
windows ot adjoining houses tor a
block, but injured no one within tha
Palmer residence.
Aviation Altitude Record Broken.

aviator, in a flight tor altitude, ascend

Strikers Raid Winnipeg Parliament
Winnipeg. A parading crowd of
2000 or more returned soldiers and
union men swept through the provin
cial house of parliament and then
marched to the city hall, where they
broke up a council meeting. In both
buildings speakers, using violent lan
guage, charged that Premier T. C.
Norris and Mayor Cbarlea F. Gray
were not dealing properly with the
strike situation and shouted that
"aomethlng had better be done aoon."
