Rentier Declares Willingness
of New Republic to Meet
All Obligations
l- i. , ;
By Henry Wood
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
St. Germain, June 2. The peace treaty was handed
to the Austrian delegates at 12:29 p. m. today.
The meeting did not convene until 12:25 owing to the
late arrival of President Wilson. He was the last of the
delegates to reach the chateau, entering the hall at 12:14.
Premier Clenieneouu, la hit Instruc
tions to the Austrian delegate iuformed
them that no oral discussion would b
allowed, and that all written observa
tions must be submitted within a maxi
mum of 15 duyi.
The document was reported to be a
mere skeleton of the treaty, with finan
cial, economic, repartition!, military and
boundary clauses either wholly or par
tially lacking. The complete sections
consist principally of political aud ter
ritorial clauses, together with the lea
gue of nations covenant, which is iden;
ticttl with that iu the Germany treaty,
according to advance information,
Clcmcneeau finished speaking at
12:29. Ilis speech was then translated
into English, Italian and German, ana
the treaty was presented to the Aue
tiitins at 12:39.

Chancellor Rentier arose aud replied
in French. While he was speaking a
glass case containing relies of the stone
uge (the chateau is used as a national
museum) burst and interrupted him mo
mentarily, Re:ner argued that all the peoples of
tke former Austrollungnry empire
should share in the responsibilities and
cost of the war. Describing conditions
in Austria, he said:
"Only by the relief organized by
Herbert Hoover have we Avoided abso
lute starvation."
In conclusion, Beiloer said:
"You may rest assured that our fore
most wish is co-operation, according to
our strength aud wittiiu uncontested
boundaries to secure possession of lib
erties and civilization. We will ro oper
ate to the fullest possible extent in the
league of nations for attainment of
world peaee.
Leniency Is Asked.
Following translation of Rentier's
speech into English aud Italian, Cieiuen
cefiu asked if the Austrian had an;
mure to stay.
They replied ia the negative.
"We trust in your sense of justice
aud practical spirit not to demand that
we be crushed," mi id Bonner. "We are
disposed to recoguize our own responsi
bilities and aecept our share in propor
tion with the other great powers.
"Our revolution was pacific and with
out military actiou. It was simply a so
cial revolution, as peaceful and reason
able as possible and we will not depart
froia Hiut life of conduct and policy if
you give us the peace and justice and
democracy necessary for our economic
existence.''
iienner pointed out that the new Aus
trian republic, which is aa outgrowth of
the old Austrian monarchy, never do
tkred war agai.st any of the present
allies. Evidently residing that he
might have no future opportunity to
present Austria's claims, verbally, he
took advantage of tl.e occasion to read
a lengthy typewritten address setting
forth her clainis for clemency.
"We realise we are in your hand,
Austrian treaty prowdes:
Austria muM accept the cove
nant of the league of nations and
the lalior charter, fibe must re
nounce all her extra Furopean
rights.
.She must demubilire all her naval
and aerial forces.

but we ask in the name of humanity
that you accord us the Wilsonian prin

Boundaries Unsettled.
The Austrian delegates appeared in
morning dress, while most of the alllea
representatives woro business suits.
Mrsi Diaz, wife of the Itulinn general,
was the only woman present.
The meetiuij adjourned at 1:14 p. m.
While the treaty indicates generully
the territory which Austria loses, the
precise boundm-ics will be fixed, later
either by f.ie alliea or a mixed commis
sion. It provides that Austria shall re
tain the northern boundary she had in
1911 with the Czechoslovak boundaries
on the northwest, while on the south she
will be assigned the boundaries fixed
under the treaties of 1816, except the
region Ol llarburg and. Ktagenfurt, the
allegiance of which will be decided by
plebiscite. The treaty holds that the
recent plebiscite in Voralberg, whese
the population voted to join Switzerland
is invalid and provides that Voralberg
' shall remain with Austria and pay her
portion of the Austrian war debts and
iudenmitv.
Treaty is Summarized
St. Germain, ..France, June 2. The
following is a summary of the Austrian
treaty:
"The conditions of peace of the al
lied and associated powers, with the
exception of military reparations, fi
nancial and certain boundary clauses,
were handed to the Austrian plenipo
tmitUrins at (St. Germain today. Those
clause which are not yet ready for
presentation wui be delivered as soon
as fvHile, the Austrian in the mean
time having the opportunity to Ibegin
work on the greater part of the treaty
in an effor to facilitate' a final decis
ion. "The Ansrian treaty follows exactly
the same outline as the German and
in many places is identical with it, ex
cept for the change in name. Certain
specific clauten which applied only to
Germany are of course omitted and
certain new clause included, especial
ly regards the new states created out
of the former Anstro-Hungarian em
pire and the protection of the rights
of the racial, religions and linguistic
minorities in Austria, Tchecho Slovak
ia, Jtumania and Serb-Croat -iSluvpe
state.
Austria Accepts League

She is rfequired to recognize the com-

Villa and Diaz Revolution
Forces Join; Border States
Little Concerned Over Turn
Laredo, Texas, June S. The union of
yiUe-Diaa revolutionary foree in
northern Mexico was completed in a
meeting this wows, at Parral, near Tor
reon, according to report received by
Mexican official at Nuevo Laredo,
which practically had been confirmed
today.
Great disappointment is said to exist
among the Camnzinta as a result of
the atato department's action in refus
ing permission for Carranaa forces to
pass through the I'nited States, ia their
concentration against the revolution
ists. It serionsly handicaps the gov
ernment in it movement sgaiast the
revolutionist, Ctrranza leader at
Nuevo Laredo declared, pointing out
that transportation of large Carranza
forces, to Junrez it possibly oaly by
crossing a part of Texas.
It is admitted that, the Carranza
forcea iu Chihuahua, where the Villa
movement is strongest, are badly in
need of reinforcements.
The movement for the union of the
Felicistas, followers of IVlix Iiaz, and
Villittoii stnrted with the death of Gen
eral iBlanquet, eeeond chief of the Fe
licistas, who was killed supposedly by
federal troops near Vera CAirz some
weeks ago. The Feliciras realized at
that time, it ia caid, thpy, lacked pow
er to start a success a I movement alone,
and immediately sent ermewnries to Vil
la, with the resulting I'Srral eonfer
otice, where General Felipe Amgcles
was named provisional president and
the 'bandit Villa his seerotary of war.
Refuges here, while afraid to make
open statements, are known generally
to admire General Amgeles and to fav
or hi movement
Dalian, Texas, .Tune 2. The Villa
Angele proposed Mexican revolution ia

cr, according to reports here. The) gen
eral lielief expressed.br state officials,
American consuls in the border towns
and department f justice agent who
are following the ease,, in that Vills
does not .pos-iess sufficient military
strength to attempt an extensive oper
ation. "iNo excitement over Villa's report

Army Planes Not To Carry
Passengers Oa Exhibition
Flight In Salem Next Week
When the airplane fleet stops at ba

one will have a chance to taku an ait
ride, as the planes are built for two
only and in their flying north from Sun
Diego to Portland, the extra space will

for an exhibit, there is possibility of
some one goiug up.
Writing from Han Diego to the Ore
gon Aero club of Portland, Lieut. Hurry
Watson of the air service writes:
"I have your letter suggesting that
certain civilian be carried during the
trip. Authority for such flights can be
obtained only from the director of air
service at Washington or higher author
ity, I am not very desirous of carrying
any civilian passenger while actually
traveling. The machines which we us
have a capacity of only two passengers
and they wiil be pretty well loaded with
the necessary mechanics and with bag
gage, SMire parts of motors, etc. There
will be no objection on our part to earry
ing passengers while, visiting the towns.
But as I have already stated, antiiorily
for suiili flights must be obtained from
the director of air service. It is our
plan to bring one Dellavilsnd to Port
land in addition to the six JN4fT planes.
This will make a total of seven pilots
