i question was discussed. .
, ST. GERMAIN, June 2. Austria
was today given 15 days to reply to
the terms of peace presented by the
allied nations. . . ' 1.
' The entire peace treaty was not
presented to the Austrlans ' today,
and the 15 days stipulation with re
gard to their reply, therefore, refers
only to the portion of the terms
handed them at today's session.
The conditions of peace of'the al
lied and associated powers, with ex
ception of military reparations, fi
nancial and certain boundary
clauses were banded to the Austrian
plenipotentiaries at St. Germain to
day. Those clauses which are not
yet ready for presentation : will be
delivered as soon . as possible, the
j Austrlans in the meantime having
me opportunity to Degin work on tne
greater part of the treaty in an ef- -fort
to facilitate a final decision.
'The Austrian treaty follows ex
actly the same outline as the Car
man and in many places is identical
with' it except for the change' In
name. Certain specific clauses which
applied only to Germany are of
reouree ' omitted, and certain new
clauses Included, especially as re
gards the new states created out of
the former Austro-Hungarian em
pire, , and the protection of ' rights
of the racial, religious and linguistic
minorities in Austria,' Czecho-Slo-vakla,
Roumanla and the Sorblan-Croatian-Slovenian
state. . ' ; ' .

plete independence of Hungary,
Cxecno-Slovakla and the Serbian-Croatlaq-SlQveolan
state, and to cedo
other territories which previously in
union with her, composed the empire
of Austria-Hungary with .its popula
tion 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 tho allied
and associated powers of hor na
tionals guilty of violating tho law
and customs of force and to accept
detailed provisions similar lo those
of the German treaty as to economic
relations and freedom of transit.

In tho summary, part ono of
tho treaty, containing the cove
