PARIS, May 14.—The council] J U Vv e of four today appointed a sub-| committee, comprising one mem- ber from each of the five great powers to deal with the objections and proposals from the German peace plenipotentiaries. ‘The council today considered ques- tions of ports and waterways and some details of the Austrian treaty. VOTE IN FAVOR (By United Prean.) PARIS,. May 14.—The Allies today; received three new~-notes from the} German delegation relating to the! peace terms. Their nature was not disclosed. This makes seven communi- cations concerning the treaty so far. It is confidently believed that the Germans will complete their objec- tions to the terms within the ‘15 days! limit and that the Allies will have replied within another 10 days. | A German news agency quoted Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau as saying: . | “The terms simply are unbeliev-| able because they ask the impossible. The entente demands material guar- antees and will not accept moral guarantees. This shows its distrust of us. We want an organized world wherein Germany will have the same right as other peoples.” The hour of the Austrian delegates’ arrival at St. Germain is uncertain. They reached Basle last night in time for them to arrive here this morn- ing, but they probably purposely de- layed to reach their destination at night as the Germans did. : Chancellor Renner, head of the Austrian delegation, is quoted as say-j| ing: 4 “T intend to fgllow the decision of | the Austrian national assembly and/ return with a peace ending the suf-| ferings of my country. We want a} union with Germany. The Czechs and} Jugo-Slavs are now our enemies.” | | SUBJECT OF PROTEST | PARIS, May 14.—The three Ger-!
