World's War Events $v Volume 3: Beginning with the departure of the first American destroyers for service abroad in April, 1917, and closing with the treaties of peace in 1919.
World War, 1914-1918
As an immediate advance as to animals, Austria agrees to deliver within
three months after ratification of the treaty 4,000 milch 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 nations; 1,000 bullocks to
Italy and 500 each to Serbia and Rumania; 2,000 sows to Italy, and
1,000 draft horses and 1,000 sheep to both Serbia and Rumania.
[Sidenote: Timber, iron and magnesite.]
Austria also agrees to give an option for five years as to timber, iron,
and magnesite in amounts as nearly equal to the pre-war importations as
Austria's resources make possible. She renounces in favor of Italy all
cables touching territories assigned to Italy, and in favor of the
allied and associated powers the others.
[Sidenote: Valuable objects to be restored.]
Austria agrees to restore all records, documents, objects of antiquity
and art, and all scientific and bibliographic material taken away from
the invaded or ceded territories. She will also hand over without delay
all official records of the ceded territories and all records, documents
and historical material possessed by public institutions 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 1861.
As to artistic archaeological, scientific or historic objects formerly
belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Government or Crown, Austria agrees to
negotiate with the State concerned for an amicable arrangement for the
return to the districts of origin on terms of reciprocity of any object
which ought to form part of the intellectual patrimony of the ceded
districts, and for twenty years to safeguard all other such objects for
the free use of students.
[Sidenote: War debt held outside the empire.]
The war debt held outside the former empire shall be a charge on the
Republic of Austria alone. All war securities shall be stamped within
two months with the stamp of the State taking them up, replaced by
certificates, and settlement made to the Reparation Commission.
The currency notes of the former Austro-Hungarian Bank circulating in
the separated territory shall be stamped within two months by the new
governments of the various territories with their own stamp, replaced
within twelve months by a new currency, and turned over within twelve
months to the Reparation Commission. The bank itself shall be liquidated
as from the day after the signature of the treaty by the Reparation
Commission.
[Sidenote: Property within the new States.]
