which included Gov. James P Good
rich, Mayor Charles T. Jewett of In-
dianapolis; Thomas Taggart, former
Governor Samuel L. Ralston, and
Franklin McCrary, president of the
Indiana branch of tho league to en-
force peace. Thousands of persons,
including many visitors to tho state
| fair, crowded the streets and cheered
lustily its the president passed.
Before a crowd that filled to over-
| flowing the fair grounds coliseum,
with a sooting capacity of 1(5.000, Pres-
ident Wilson made a forceful plea in
behalf of the league of nations,
.lames p. Goodnich, republican gov-

Austin, Texas — Revolutions advis-
ing agitators who stir up strife be
tween whites and negroes to stay out
of Texas, and ph ut ing themselves to
help in tlie enforcement of law and
otder, were adopted at a mass meet-
ing of negroes and whites held upon
call of I)r. L. L. Campbell, negro mod-
erator of tlie St. John’s association.
About 2,000 negroes were present.
There seems to be an organized
effort springing from somewhere that
would array the negroes against the
whites of the the south,” tho resolu-
tions state, “The inconsistence of
such a course is plainly shown by the
northern negro himself, for while he
speks to estrange the whites nnd the
blacks of the south, he takes good
pains to stay on friendly terms with
the whites of the north.”
Tlie resolutions then call the negro’s
attention to the fact that he lives in
tlie south; that here he must hope for
his success and that hero he will find
plenty of white friends who are ready
and able to help an honest and indus-
trious negro.
“That we tender our services to the
local and state authorities in allaying
this nervousness nnd uneasiness now
existing between tlie races,” was em-
bodied in a resolution.

Paris. Chancellor Karl Renner,
head of the Austrian peace de’.ega
Hon, lias left for Vienna with the
peace treaty which was handed to the
\u:;triiins recently. He indicated that
lie would probably ask for an exten-
sion of time, as tho Austrian general
assembly would meet Saturday and
Sunday to discuss tlie terms. Tho su-
premo council, it is announced, will
extend the time if Austria so requests.
The treaty was presented to the
Austrian delegation by Paul Dutasta,
general secretary of tlie peace con-
ference He also handed them the
allied reply to tho Austrian counter
proposals and a covering letter reit
crating that Austria had precipitated
the war by an ultimatum unacceptable
to Serbia. It was set forth, however,
that the allies xxore willing to assist
Austria to adapt herself to her new
situation and to admit her in the near
future to tlie league of nations. The
treaty xvn presented in French, Eng-
lish anil Italian texts.
No official summary in which terri-
torial changes in the peace treaty has
been given, but reports from confer-
ence circles front time to time have
indicated that severnl alterations in
tho original provisions were to be
made It lias been declared unoffici-
ally. however, that the treaty did not
provide for a settlement of the Fiume
ontroversy at present, the inference
being that Austria would simply he
informed of the teritory she would
have to relinquish ami that the dis-
position of this territory in certain
case ; would be left for subsequent ad
Justment.
