LXI—NO. 133 .~ POPULATION 29,919 NORWICH, THURSD CONN., ’ JUNE 4 1919 TEN PAGES—70 COLUMNS ORICE, TWO CENTS AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT 1§ DISSATISFIED WITH TERMS Austrian People Are Not so Inclined and Appear Anxious to Accept the Conditions as Laid Down—One of the Re- sponsible Newspapers of Terms Are Unacceptable—The First Contingent of American Troops on the Archangel Front Has Started Homeward. (By The Associated Press.) Like the German government, the Austrian government is said to be dis- satisfied with the peace terms of the allied and associated powers, which are declared by one of the responsible newspapers of Vienna to be unaccept- able. Unlike the German populace at large, however, the Austrian people apparently are apathetic, having pected no easy terms, and are willing. even anxious, to accept the conditions as laid down and thus bring peace to the sorely stricken former cmpire which is rendered by the treaty vir- tually an inland' state of small terri- torial proportions. Nevertheless, the zeneral opinion among the Austrians seems to be that the terms are bised on might, and not on President Wil- son’s fourteen points. In Paris the couacil of four contin- ues to discuss points brought out oy the German counter-proposals to the German peace treaty, especially as concerns territoria i arations. Experts on both these que: tions have been called before the council for conferences, .nd tas behef apparently prevails in unofficial quar- ters in Paris that some moZifications may be expected in the orginal terms of the treiy, ,artcularly s .5re the Sar-e Basin ¢rd Sileii. Discussion of the protest of Ger- many that being left without mer- chant ships she is rendered impotent to resume her trade and thereby una- ble to aid in paying the Indemnities asked also has been taken up by ihe council. The expectation is that tha couucil Vienna Declares the Peace! will heed reports of the urgent nec- essity to render a quick decision on the matters in controversy owinzy to the situation in Germany. One report has it that Herr Noske, the German: minister of defense, has inspected the coast defenses and ordered the garri- sons to be ready for vmergencies. An appeal to the American people by magistrates of 200 German muni- cipalities, representing virtually hal? the population of Germany, has been signed. It demands a “peace of jus- tice” under President Wilson’s four- teen points, and protests against the continuation of the blockade against Germany. Apparently the Rhenish republic un- der Dr. Dorten has been firmly estab- lished at Wiesbaden with aid from French officers. A Berlin despatch says that although Dorten and his co- administrators were coldly received by the populace they were not molested owing to the presence of ihe officers, who ordered that Dorten’s instructions be obeyed Bolshevik advices are to the effect that the autonomy of Mongolia has been proclaimed by a congress con- vened by General Semenoff, the Cos- sack leader,-and that Semenoff was]| made “Grand Duke of Mongolia. The Bolsheviki are reported to have started a successful counter-offen: against the Esthonians and troops advancing on Petrograd. The first contingent of American troops on the Archangel front has started homeward. The men comprise about one-third of the American forces in this region. The others will embark for home as soon as transports are available. ANXIOUS DAY IN PEACE CONFERENCE CIRCLES Paris, June 4—(By The A. P.) This has been an anxious day throughout peace conference circles, with both the German and Austrian treaties in the balance, and every effort is being made 0 secure carly and united ac- tion. Indications were that certain gene- ral results are already beginning to take form. The posals as a whole undoubtedly will be gected, but a number of suggestions ¥y be embodied in the allied treaty, not with any purpose of modifying or softening the - document, but for the purpoee of making it workable and achieving the supreme end of getting it signed and restoring peace. Certain concrete results al:o appear to be taking form, namely, the fixing of reparations at a definite sum around one hundred billion marks, in- stead of giving the commission inde- finite authority to assess beyond that sum; reducing the period of occupa- ton of the western frontier from fif- teen to ten years; readjustment of the Silesia terms, at which Germany was greatly aroused, so that the pop- ulation may secure se!f-determination, probably through a plebiscite. The German, complaint that they will be without merchant ships, it i suggested, will be met by the allie: chartering a limited number of ship: ®#0 that the resumption of trade wil permit the payment of reparations. It was stated tonight that decisions on| thege subjects will probably be reach- ed before the end of the week. HOPEFUL OF APPREHENDING MEN WHO PLANTED BOMBS ‘Washington, June 4.—Secret ser- viee herdquarters were uncommuni tive but hopeful tonight as to pros- pects in the nationwide search for the perpetrators of the series of bomb outrages Monday night. William J.| Flynn appointed but not formally in- stalled as head of the investigations' bureau of the department of justice, was assisting in the operations. Members of a coroner’s jury assem- bled today to find a verdict as to the death of a bomb planter killed by the explosion of his own bomb at the home of Attorney General Palmer, adjourn- ed without attempting to complete a verdict. President Wilson in a cablegram to Mr. Palmer today said: My heartfelt congratulations on your escape. 1 am deeply thankful that the miscreants failed in all their attempts.” CONSTRUCTORS OF NEW YORK NEW JERSEY TUNNEL New York, June 4.—The New York state bridge and tunnel commission and the New Jersey interstate bridge and tunnel commission announced to- night the appointment of Clifford M. Holland, builder of the East River tunnels, as chief engineer, to have charge of construction of the proposed intérstate tunnel.

TO ENFORCE PASSAGE OF FOODSTUFFS TO POLAND Paris. June 4.—(Havas). The al- lied military authorities informed the Supreme Economic Council at its meeting on Monday of steps taken to prevent the German government from stopping the transportation of food- stuffs to Poland by way of Danzig. The official communication on the council meeting issued today says that the council also considered the recom- mendations of the blockade cection concerning restrictions to be imposed on Austrian trade with Germany, Hungary and Bolshevik Russia. HELD A CONFERENCE ON ITALY'S ADRIATIC CLAIMS Paris, June 4—(1# The A. P.)

The Americans this evening expressed the belier lnat a compromise formula would be speedily found. i STATE POLICE HAVE RIGHT TO LICENSE AMUSEMENTS/| New Haven, Conn., June 4.—Cases! in which the allegation was that the secular law had been violated at Savin Rock a week ago Sunday by conces- sionaries, 65 of whom were arrested and taken before Judge Martin, who | held that some were technically guilty, and others really guilty. were dismissed in common pleas court to- day by Judge Wolfe. aires claimed a right to do business | on Sunday under permits issued b) the superintendent of the state police under a recently enacted law.

Among those whom he fined’ was the proprietor of a moving The concession- | pleture house, who took an appeal. It | was in the Orange court that Judge‘ s'y ruled that a moving picture exhibition did not vio- late the Sunday laws. | Judge Wolfe of the common pleas court in dismissing the cases said that local authorities could not interfere with the provisions of a state law, and the law in question gave the super- | intendent of the state police the right to license amusement§ eeven days a weck.

Treaty Are in Hands of, Persons in New York. ‘Washington, June fight over the treaty with Germany branched out into new channels to- day with the introduction of a resolu- tion by Senator Hitchcock. ranking democrat of the foreign relations com- mittee, pmoposing that the committee investigate statements by Chairman Lodge and Senator Borah, republican committee members, that copies of the unpublished treaty are in the hands! of certain interests in New York. Senators Lodge and Borah promptly announced their approval of such an investigation, which under the resolu- tion Would seek “the names of per- sons, corporations or interests which have secured copies of said treaty and from whom they were secured and by what methods.” The first prediction was that the measure would be adopt- ed virtually without opposition. Senator Borah also announced that could he secure a copy of the treaty | from New York, he would put it into the senate record and thus give it to the public. He said he had asked for a copy for that purpose and might receive it tomorrow. The day’s developments were taken | as forecasting another bitter debate| tomorow when the resolution of Sen- | ator Johnson, republican, of Califor- nia, asking the state department for the treaty text, again comes before the senate. Senator Johnson hopes to press his resolution to a vote during the da; Whether the state department will accede to the senate's request, should the Johnson resolution pass, has not been revealed by department officials. Senater Hitchcock had not decided tonight whether he will call up his resolution tomorrow. He may do so during the first two hours of the ses- sion but at the end of that time it au- tomatically would be replaced by the Johnson resolution. Senator Borah's project, aside from | any diplomatic aspect, may present novel developments. . Tt was pointed out tonight that unanimous consent is required under the senate rules to in- sert such documents in the record without reading them on the senate floor and predictions were general that unanimous consent could not be given. A reading of the treaty which is said to contain about 90,000 words, would be a task of many hour: The senate PROBING DISPOSITION OF FUNDS BY WAR DEBT Washington, June 4. — TUnanimous approval was given by the house to- day to a resolution increasing the war expenditures committee to fifteen memibers so that five separate investi- zations of disposition of funds by the war department may be made.
