Two Men and Woman Injured When Street Car Hits Automobile AUSTRIA GIVEN PEACE TERMS BY ALLIED POWERS Track Talk No. 6 Steering Gear PIE STEERING GEAR is an important unit of a motor truck if right it is a protector of life and property. To be right it must be dependable in all emergencies. The STEERING GEAR on GMC Tracks hat stood the test of years. Thousands of GMC Trucks are in service in all . parts of the countrywe have yet to hear of any STEERING GEAR trouble of any description. All working parts are enclosed in a dirt-proof and oil-tight housing and are packed in grease. The working surfaces are exceedingly large a&d in service will show little wear. Any lost motion can readily b adjusted. By taking up the floor board and removing four nuts the entire gear may be removed as a unit. The STEERING WHEEL is extra large and strong will not rattle and will not work loose. The spark and throttle levers are conveniently located above the wheel, are extra large and can be bandied by the driver when wearing heavy gloves.

He was immediately stopped and the diplomatic blunder in the appar ent recognition of the Germanic at tributes of the new republic cor rectd. The translator was now so nerv ous that presently he was caught telling the Austrians their replies must be verbal, instead of written. Dr. Karl Renner, head of the Aus trian delegation, rose to reply at the end of the translation, but M. Cle menceau waved him to his seat to permit M. Dustasta, secretary of the conference, to place before him the text of the skeleton draft of the treaty. The Austrian delegate then rose and read his speech. He caused considerable surprise by choosing the trench as the medium for his remarks. M. Clemenceau and Marshal Foch, the latter sitting with the French delegation were obviously pleased at the choice of the language. As Dr. Renner proceeded with his dis course, revealing a tone of modera tion and absence of recrimination or boasting the strain which had hung over the plenipoteniaries relaxed and all settled down to calm and rea soned appreciation of the Austrian plea. Austria was given 15 days to re ply to the terms. The Austrian treaty follows ex actly the same outline as the Ger man and in many places is identical with it, except for the change in name. Certain specific clauses which applied only to Germany are, of course, omitted and certain new clauses included, especially as re gards the new states created out of the former Austro-Hungarian em pire and the protection of the rights of the Hungarian empire, and the protection of the rights of the racial, religious and linguistic minorities in Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania and the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian state. Austria is left by the treaty a state of from six million or seven million people inhabitating a terri tory of between 5,000 and 6,000 square miles. She is required to recognize the complete independ ence of Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia and the Serbian- Croatian-Slovenian state, and to cede other territories which previously in union with her, composed the empire of Austria Hungary with its population of over fifty million people. Austria agrees to accept the league of nations covenant and the labor charter, to renounce all its extra European rights, to demobil ize its whole naval and aerial forc es, to admit the right of trial by the allied and associated powers of its nationals guilty of violating the law and customs of force and to accept detailed provisions similar to those of the German treaty as to economic relations and freedom of transit. Chancellor Renner, the Austrian chancellor, probably will go to Switzerland tomorrow. He re mained at St. Germain today after the conclusion of the presentation of the allied terms. In addition to the conference of representatives of the allied and as sociated powers, there were present many distinguished persons, includ ing Marshal Foch, General Bliss, and American Ambassador Wallace. Chancellor Renner promised to do his best to bring about peace on the allied conditions. Col. E. M. House was the only one of the American delegation not present at the session. Omaha Bohemians Welcome Czecho-Slovak Heroes Crowd of 4,000 Greet 100 Casuals On Way From Siberia to Homeland; Practically All of Men Convalescing From Wounds; Greeted at Station By Shower of Flowers; Mayor Delivers Address. A mighty welcome was exten.ded by more than 4,000 local Bohemians to 100 of their heroic countrymen, casuals, scarred and maimed in five vears of war, at the Auditorium, Monday night at 10:30 o'clock. The men, who are enrotite from Vladivo stok. Siberia, to their homeland, ar lived in this city after numerous de lays, about 10:15. They are the- first contingent of 5,000 Czecho-Slovak casuals as sembled at the Siberian port to pass through this country. The unit consists of six officers and 94 men. Practically every one of the members of the unit is con valescing from serious wounds. Many of them have lost either an arm or a leg. Others are blind. Four are in such bad condition that they were forced to remain in the train. Come From Coast. The crippled heroes were brought to San Francisco from Siberia by Maj. Joseph Doshek. Col V. S. Hurban, military attache of the Czecho-Slovak legation at Washing ton, who has himself seen much service on the Siberian and Russian fronts, joined the detachment upon their arrival in this country. Col. C. S. Hamilton and First Lieut. W. H. Rice, both of California, are ac companying the men as representa tives of the United States govern ment. As the train bearing the wounded heroes pulled into the Burlington station a shower of flowers thrown by little flower girls greeted the men. They were rushed to the Auditorium where Mayor Smith de livered an address of welcome. Various Bohemian speakers then addressed the convalescents in their own tongue, saying no greater serv ice was rendered by any men to the cause of democracy than these men. Subscribe $2,000. More than $2,000 lias been sub scribed by Bohemians of the city to be distributed among their "own heroes." The romantic history of the men began with their desertion from the Austrian army to the Russian forces. Until the overthrow of the czar and the establishment of the bolshevik regime the men fought their former oppressors, the Austrians, together with the Russian troops. The Brest-Litovsk treaty and their betrayal by the bolsheviki forced them to take up arms against the new enemy. This handful of troops held the longest front ever held by any army in the world s history. They also kept in prison between 200,000 and 300,000 military captives of the central powers, ac cording to A. W. Chez, Y. M. C. A. secretary, who spent 18 months with these troops on the Siberian front. Mr. Chez expressed the belief that the Czecho-Slovak army was the most democratic in the world.

Reports thus far received of the alleged massacres of Jews in Poland and other countries of eastern Eurooe justify a rebuke to the governments of those countries by the U. S. con gress, Representatives Siegel, La guardia and Goldfogle, all of New York, declared today at a hearing before the house Foreign Affairs Committee on resolutions relating to the alleged ill-treatment. Ihe new Polish government in turn was defended against the po grom charges by Representative Kleczka, of Wisconsin, who asserted the representations of massacres were of "German origin an ddesigned to show that Poland was incapable of self government." The Poles in this country, he as serted, courted an investigation of their naitve land. Three resolutions, one by each of the three New York representatives, led to the hearings. Jews Parade as Protest Against Pole Atrocities Cleveland, O., June 2.

Many stores and factories closed during the afternoon, the Jewish working people observing a half- ro'iday of mourning. REVENUE LAW NEEDS REVISION, SAYS JDREWS Wants Soft Drink Section In corporated Into Sections 900 to 907; Would Elim inate Objections. By a Staff Correspondent. Washington, June 2. Representa tive Andrews, speaking of the ef forts being made by the ways and means committee to repeal section 904 of the revenue law relating to taxes on luxuries, so-called, said to day : "Sections 900 and 907 inclusive, of the revenue law, should be thor oughly revised, together with sec tion 9,?0, the soft drinks section, in one lull, instead of carrying section '04 in a bill by itself. This would take away certain manifest objec tions to these various sections. "The discussion has indicated that e combined revenue that would he collected under all these sections would exceed $200,000,000. That money will be urgently needed to help meet a prohibitive deficit of be tween $5,000,000,000 and $6,000,000, 000. Next year we should, however, find other sources of revenue at once to furnish that amount and re peal these objectional excess taxes without undue delay. "I am in favor of recommitting the bill, with instructions to the ways and means committee to re port a measure that will take care of all these consumption taxes at one and the same time."

Davis of this state is now en route to Wash ington, bent upon the important mission of securing proper recog nition for the reclamation of Idaho arid, swamp and stump lands from congress under the provisions of the Mondell bill now pending.
