It's a queer tale, and the skipper, Carl EB. Anderson, tells it, Support- ing affidavits are available from Will Whiffen, Capt. George K. Higgins of the A. FB.

"It just hung there in the rigging and everybody thought it was going to fall.” “Couldn't fall," said Will Whiffen. “Didn't fall,” said the skipper, “I got out miy binoculars and took a close look at it, I told the men it ~|was a red-headed albatross." “Redheaded Whitten, “I admit I was wrong,” the skipper sald, “but whose log is this anyway?

TERMS SENT TO VIENNA. Blamed for Starting War, but Entente Offers Aid and Admission to League. PARIS, Sept. 2.—The Supreme Coun- cll of the Peace Conference decided to-dity to send a note in forcible terms to the German Government Pointing out the contradiction with the Versailles Treaty of the provision in the New German constitution for the representation of Austria in the German Reichsratb, The Council demands the suppres- sion of the article within a fortnight, declaring that otherwise the Allies will be compelled to undertake a further occupation of the left bank of the Rhine. The article objected to is Article 61 of the German Constitution, as in conflict with Articie 80 of the Ger- man Peace Treaty, forbidding Ger- man interference in Austrian affairs. (Article 80 of the Versailles treaty reads: “Germany acknow- ledges and will respect strictly the independence of Austria, within the frontiers which may bo fixed in a treaty between that state and the principal allied and associated powers: She agrees that this independence shall be inalienable, except with the cor- sent of the Council of the League of Nations.” (The text of the paragraph in the German Constitution referred to has not been received in this country, It appears, however, that the clause applies to all the ter- ritories of German-speaking Peoples in Europe, and therefore to German-Austria, with the ef- fect of providing that Austria may have a certain number of ropre- sentatives in the German Parlia. ment, proportionate to the Austrian population. AUSTRIAN DELEGATES ARE GIVEN PEACE TERMS. ‘The revised text of the peace terms framed for Austria's acceptance by the Peace Conference was handed to the Austrian Plenipotentiary at St Germain this afternoon, Chancellor Renner will leave at once for Vienna to lay the treaty before the National Assembly. ‘The treaty was presented to the Austrian delegates by Paul Dutasta, general secretary of the Peace Con- ference, He also handed them the Allied reply to the Austrian counter- proposals and a covering letter re- iterating that Austria had precipl- tated the war by an ultimatum un acceptable to Serbia. It was set forth, however, that the Allles were willing to assist Austria to adapt herself to her new situation and to admit her in the near future to the League of Nations, No official summary of the territor- ial changes in the Peace Treaty has been given out, but reports from con- ference circles from time to time have indicated that several alterations In the original provisions were to be made, It has been declared unofficialty, however, that the treaty did not pro- (Continued on Second Page) GERMANY WARNED BY ALLIES TO KEEP HANDS OFF AUSTRIA AS LATTER RECEIVES TREATY ‘LITTLE SKATER RUN DOWN BY AUTO, WHICH ESCAPES Girl of Nine Taken to the Hospital Suffering From Possible Frac- ture of Skull, Dorothy Richardson, nine, of No. 9% West list Street, was knocked down by an automobile while skating In Brad- hurst Avenue near 146th Street this af- ternoon.
