WAR DEBT, LOSS OF LAND, UNJUST, VIENNA'S PLAINT

Will Sign Without Notifications, But Wish Changes, is Tenor of Note. (By Associated Press) PARIS, Aug. 7. The Austrian counter proposals to the peace terms were handed to the allied mission at St Germaln-en-Laye at 12:15 o'clock today. The counter proposals were brought at once to Paris and delivered to the supreme council ot the peace conference. The Austrian observations on the treaty were considered in peace conference circles to be very temperate in tone. Complaints of Territory Cut. The Austrian reply said the delegation realized Austria's position was that of a defeated power, but complained that its territory had been limited in too sweeping a manner. Particular objection was offered to tho loss of southern Bohemia and the Tyrol district The Austrlans state they also be lieve they have been greatly overcharged, as two-thirds of the debt ot the Austro-Hungarlan state Is being loaded upon them. They say the proportion is too heavy, considering their email population, and they are not sure they can live under such conditions. Want Oral Debate. A special appeal was made by the Austrlans for an oral discussion of the treaty. They said they believed such a discussion would result in a more complete understanding of the conditions imposed. Although the Austrlans indicated very clearly their intention of signing even if the treaty is not modified, they expressed the hope that some modification may be effected. Dr. Karl Renner, Austrian chancellor and head of the delegation, and most of his colleagues will leave tonight for Vienna. The Austrian counter proposals will bo made public, together with the reply of the allies, when the reply has been translater and presented. Franchise League News V . ' Governor Goodrich has assigned as tis reason for postponing the special session of the legislature, Attorney General Stansbury's opinion that the funds for next year may now be used for the State Institutions, and there is no immediate need of a special session. Women all over the state are clamoring for a special session to ratify the federal amendment, in order that Indiana may not bring up in the rear in this important matter, and also because of the effect which early ratification In Indiana will have upon other states. Many prominent attorneys are disagreeing with Attorney General Stansbury's interpretation of the law, and claim he has wrenched from its context only a small paragraph of a special section of the law, which provides lor a purchasing committee for state institutions. They state that the law provides that if such a committee were annolnted and acting (which is r.ot the case) the paragraph cited by Mr. Stansbury would provide only for the use of funds available after October 1, 1919, for supplies for that year, which might be contracted for in advance of that date; but that the paragraph has nothing whatever to do with any other part of the appropriation act. Monday, was Woman's Day at the Shelbyville chautauq.ua. The Franchise League had a tent on the grounds, where a reception was held in the afternoon, and at six o'clock the Board of Directors of the League entertained with a picnic, in honor of Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, who was the Bpeaker of the day. The Shelbyville League has voted $100 to the National Suffrage association for ratification work, and they are arranging a window display, showing day by day what states have ratified the Federal amendment. All the Women's clubs of Shelbyville have been asked to devote at least one meeting during the coming year to the program, "Citizenship for Women." Mrs. Charles Ferguson of Cambridge City, entertained the members of Jackson township league at her home Saturday. This league holds its regular meetings the first Saturday of each month, the year around. Mrs. Richard E. Edwards, former President of the Franchise league, has been quite ill at her summer home at Maxinkuckee. Miss Adah Bush, recently returned from France, is with her. Falkenhayn Says He Takes Blame For War (By Associated Press) PARIS, August 7. This morning's Paris newspapers announce that Baron Kurt von Lersner, head of the German mission at Versailles, has transmitted to the supreme council of the peace conference a letter from General Erich von Falkenhayn, former German chief of staff, in which he claimed responsibility as war minister and head of the general staff, for ail military acts by Germany while he was in power, from the beginning of the war to the end of the battle of Verdun. General vonFalkenhayn offers himself to the allies in place of former emperor William. General vonFalkenhayn was minister of war for only a brief period after the outbreak of the great war.

TAX REDUCTION !S URGED IN SENATE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. President Wilson is requested in a Joint resolution introduced today by Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee and Senator McCormick, Republican, Illinois to submit not later than December 1 such reductions in estimates of government expenditures as will permit an annual reduction of $1,000,000,000 In taxation next year. BRIGHT DAY DAWNS FOR SOFT DRINKS Now dawns the day of the soft drink. It is the only available substitute for "booze, and so the demand for it is bound to be prodigious. Distillers and brewers may mourn, but even the latter will find consolation in the manufacture of "nearbeer" which is simply ordinary beer with the alcohol taken out of it. As for soft drinks other than nearbeer, the bottled varieties found a great market before the country began in serious earnest to go dry, 3,000,000,000 bottles being annually sold in the United States. For some years past nearly every village and crossroads store has carried a stock of soft drinks, commonly known as "sodas," and thus the dwellers in rural communities have had availiable a product formerly obtainable only at "fountains" In towns and cities. Many such drinks are made with artificial flavors, but the demand for real fruit flavors is increasing, and in their manufacture great quantities of strawberries, raspberries, grapes, etc., are now used. A new departure in this line is the utilization of the loganberry for flavoring. Most people regard clearness and transparency in bottled soft drinks as desirable, not knowing that turpidity offers evidence of a true fruit product of superior quality. To clarify these beverages certain processes have to be employed that impair the characteristic flavor of the fruit. Harmless chemical flavorings are largely utilised to imitate various fruits. British Paper Takes Jab At Prohibition In U. S. LONDON, Aug. 7. Some day there will arise some great American who will have the courage to tell his countrymen that it is the very negation of liberty to allow any man or number of men to interfere with anyone else except insofar as he is a nuisance or a danger to the community. If he succeeds, the Americans will probably make him king under the title and style of boss and discover what freedom is." This is what the Globe, one of the most conservative of London's papers, says in a long editorial discussing prohibition in the United States. The editorial is both humorous and sarcastic. It continues: "Americans who have fondly, though as it appears mistakenly, believed that they lived in a free country, have to revise their ideas and either find some new definition of liberty or admit that they have been deprived of that boon. "We do not for one moment suppose that the majority of the American people are really in favor of this amazing abridgment of their natural ; rights, but the Prohibitionists have captured the machine, and, as usually happens In such cases, the democracy is powerless. The average American has become ashamed to say in public that he likes a cocktail or a glass of lager and means to get it. "The amazing fact remains that ninety milions of sane, white human beings pledge themselves to use their combined power to prevent any of their number from refreshing himself In the usual way." Uses Lantern To Find Gasoline Leak Hospital MUSCTAH, Kan., Aug. 7. Notice Ing that his automobile was leaking badly, W. O. Turner took a lantern and crawled underneath the car to find the leak. He found it. It was the gasoline tank instead of the radiator. He will recover, his physician says. Three simultaneous conversations over one wire are common on a telephone line running into a Brazilian newspaper office.

The prospect that the air forces of the United States, both army and navy, may be combined and form a separate organization, as with Great Britain, ddes not apparently meet with much favor here among the American soldiers and sailors who have had actual experience of the workings of the British Air Force. "I hope this commission which Is here to study the matter will not advise the President to form a separate force In America," was the comment of one of the leading naval airnien. "I am not saying that it has not been a good thing for Britain, but I do not think it will be a success with us. We feel that the man who flies a navy boat, seaplane or dirgible should have a navy training and the navy traditions. "Take Commander Tower's stunt, for instance, when he sailed the NC-3 into the Azores after she had come down In the sea. If he had not been a practical navy man he could not hav.done it. "I don't see how it will be possible to give the aviators, pilots and navagators, a thorough training in navigation for both Eea and land. The conditions under which a plane is operated differ very much, depending on whether it Is sailing over the earth or the sea and the landing question is another important factor. "No, I think there is an advantage in a separate force for the army and navy, respectively. We found in this war that they worked well together and the healthy rivalry developed only served to improve each service." Similar opinions were expressed by several members of the NC division while they were over here. ATTORNEYS SEARCH OUT FOOD HOARDERS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. In response to Attorney General Palmer's orders for nation-wide prosecution of food hoarders and profiteers, many district attorneys reported to the department of justice today that they were proceeding immediately with investigations of conditions in their territory. Legal action will follow the discovery of any evidence of law violation. The department declined to say in what districts prosecutions were like-1 ly to be brought, fearing that discussions of localities might hamper the works of the attorneys.
