Paris, July 20, -The full peace con- ditions of the allied and associated ,powers are now in the hands of the Austrians. The first sections` of the -terms were presented to the Austrian delegates at St, Germain on June 2. 'The final sections were delivered to them at the same place to -day, In addition to the published sum- mary of the terms of June 2, the new clauses provide for reparation arrange- ments very similar to those in the treaty with Germany, including the es- tablishment of an Austrian sulniection .of the reparations commission, the payment of a reasonable sum in cash, the issuing of bonds, and the delivery of live stuck and certain historical and art documents. Under the military terms the Aus- triau army is henceforth reduced to 'thirty thousand men on a purely volun- tary basis. The manufacture of all war mat- erials shall be confined to one single factory under the control of this state, and other such est:ibli hnients shall be closed down or converted. Importation or exportation of army, munition and war Materials of all kinds is forbidden. The allied and associated Govern- ments affirm, and Austria ac•c:^pts the responsibility of Austria and her allies' for causing loss an'l d.1mar e to which the allied and ass'wi,tt.erl Govern- ments and their nationals haw, been subjected as a consequence .of the war imposed on them by the agirea:siuu of Austria and her allies. The amount of damage is to be de- termined by the Repatriation Coin - mission provided for in the treaty with Germany, which is to have a special section to handle the Austrian situa- tion . The commission will notify Aus- tria before May 1, 1921, of the extent of her liabilities, and of the schedule Of payments for the discharge thereof during a period of 30 years. As immediate reparation, Austria shall pay during 1919, 1920 and the first four months of 1921, in such man- ner as provided by the Reparation Comnxiesion, a reaaonabl1e sum, which shall bo determined by the commis- sion. As an immediate advance as to ani- mals, Austria agrees to deliver 'Within three months after ratification of the treaty 4,000 nrilch cows to Italy, and 1,000 each to Serbia and Rumania; 1,000 heifers to Italy, 300 to Serbia, and 500 to Rumania; 50 bulls to Italy, and 25 each to Serbia and Rumania; 1,000 calves to each of the three sta- tions; 1,000 bullocks to Italy, and 500 each to Serbia and Rumania; 2,000 sows to Italy, and 1,000 draught horses and 1,000 sheep to both Sable. and Rumania. Austria agrees to restore all records, documents, objects of antiquity and art, and all scientific work, taken away from the invaded territories. She must hand over without delay all records, documents .and historical material po:isossed by public institu- tions• and having a direct bearing on the history of the ceded territories which have been removed during the past ten years, except that for Italy the period shall be from 1361. Austria must pay. the total cost of the armies of occupation, from the armistice of Nov. 3rd, 1913, so long as maintained, and may export no gold before May 1, 1921, without consent of the Reparation Commission. a" kp p aA uS 4 Llr LLQ si14 s SIIS A FAILURE ,Severe Brought Causes Serious Condition in Southern Part, of Province. A despatch from Calgary, Alta., says: --Tho cloaking of the actual crop conditions in Southern Alberta this yeah has been a disaster, accord- ing to a statement made this morning by IL W. Wood, President of the United Farmers of Alberta. He said that the pres=ent situation which has arisen as a result of the severe drought is nothing short of a calamity, and the optimistic reports which were sent out froiu different sections of the Province in an at- tempt to buoy up the spirits of the people, have brought about a serious condition of affairs, and the remedy must be suggested quick before mat- ters reach a critical stage, Though not pessimistic, 111r. Wood said that conditions are indeed seri- ous. The crop of the south is a fail- ure, and the farmers are without feed for their stock. He does not consider that there is sufficient feed in the north to supply the stock, and unless some prompt action is taken there will be heavy loss suffered by the farmers and stocluxfen. COMPULSORY 1%rORIZ LATEST FOR HUNS A despatch from Berlin says: -A1 - lied representatives have told the Ger- man delegation at Versailles, it is re- ported here in Government circles, that Germany must be prepared to introduce measures for compulsory work, if necessary. This, it was said, was intended as a means of bringing about prompt exe- cution of the reparation work in Nor- thern France, utilizing troops and a half million civilian laborers. Officers here said the Anied confer- ences on this subject were conducted in a friendly spirit. These officials agreed that Germany has a problem in her labor troubles. MAKE BIG PROGRESS ' ON PLANE ENGINES A despatch from Berne says: -Ac- cording to Essen despatches to Swiss newspapers, German manufacturers, after lengthy experiments, have suc- ceeded in creating a gasoline turbine. The engine, it is asserted, will enable an airplane to fly virtually without noise. The despatches add that several airplanes fitted with the new engines aro being constructed. They will have a capacity of 64 passengers each. NEW WAR LOAN MAY BE TAXED. A despatch from Ottawa says:-Pre- limirtary preparations for the Dentin, ion loan, which is to be floated in the fall, are under way. Now that the war is over, and finan- cial conditions are more normal, it is regarded as probable that the loan will not be tax-exempt, as was its war- time predecessors. Should the Gov- ernment decide to follow this course, there is little doubt that the rate of interest yield will be made quite at- tractive, as compared with the rate at which Vivtory bonds can now be bought in the open market. BRITISH EMPIRE CELEB AM PEACE London, July 20. Peace wa s celebrated by the British Em- pire Saturday, not only in Lonclo n but in every part of the vast dominions over which floats the Union Jack. London's great vic- tory parade was, of course, the most spectacular event of the day, but throughout the country every city, town and hamlet held a peace carnival. Religious srvices, processions and sports made up the programme i11 nearly every place. In some paces, particularly te seaside resorts, battles of flowers featured the day. Everywhere the returned heroes of the war were honored whether they appeared in khaki or mufti. These men, released from the perils and hardships of war, led the merrymaking. Those who did not return from the battlefields, however, were not forgotten. In every town or city there were prayers for the fallen, and many a shrine dedicated to the memory of a dead hero bore its floral tribute. London has not witnessed such a celebration since the late Queen Victoria's diamond jubile e in 1897. Buckingham Palace was decorated on its exterior for the first time in its history. Htige flags of the allies floated from the upper windows, and a wide streamer of purple and gold stretched across the facade. The royal pavilion, erected close to the beautiful Victoria monu- ment,added color to the' striking scene. ing George, from his seat on the scarlet dais, had a clear view through a colonnade of ornate whiterylons, reaching for more than half a mile to the Admiralty Arch. The troops march. ed past the reviewing stand to the music of dozens of military bands. All the Dominions; Canada inrlude'd, had troops in the line. A magnificent reception was given the marching hosts by the millions of pconle who witnessed the gorgeous spectacle. iii/////f/ e gen CARRIED AWAY: Are you among the thousands of men and women who are CARRIED AWAY bee the catalog habit?

Employment. A despatch from Ottawa says: -Of 273,444 members of the Canadian array who completed the demobiliza- tion questionaires issued by the De- partment of Soldiers' Civil Re-estab- lishment, 87,771 desire to make agri- culture or stock -raining their future avocation. Of the number 72,218 were previously engaged in those pursuits. There is, however, a net gain of 15,553 recruits for agriculture. While 4,716 men previously employ- ed on the land have expressed a wish on demobilization to enter nes' oc- cupations, 20,269 intend to desert other callings to become farmers. Of the men who wish to abandon ftritxing, 3,400 have expressed a desire to enter the professional and general group of calling's, 350 the mechanical trades, and 530 the occupations classed as domestic and personal services: The total accessions to the professional and general cceupations number 20,- 409, and the desertions from those oc- cupations total .12,708. The questionaires indicate that one cut of every five soldiers desires to change his occupation upon his return to civilian life. i, HY l YlO CANADAIANS 'IN TIIE LONDON PARADE A despatch from London says: - Canadian Hea'1.' asters have issued an explanation of the absence of Cana- dian an:-cli:n troops from the ;;:-cat London Pcece. prcces icn en Saturday.

A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., says: -The Martinsyde biplane "Chim- era" is never to fly the Atlantic. The tiny bipiane crashed again in making its second attempt to start at Quidi Vidi airdrome on Thursday afternoon, and was wrecked beyond repair. Fred- erick P. Raynhsm, pilot, and Lieut.

General Boehm, Commander of the armies, has been ,imprisoned. Reports have been circulated that he required rest in a sanitarium. Strumfeld, second in command, is reported to have fled. Statements that Bela Kun, the Soviet leader, has been invited to a conference by the Allies have given rise to reports that he has accepted this subterfuge as a mean:, of even- ing from Hungary without the inten- thing with its no -se plowing up the sod tion of returning.
