BERRYH|LL'S FIRST ID AID 10 PER CENT
 FUR UNITED DRIVE

Berryhills with 19 employees, is the first firm in Phoenix to go "oVer the top" with 100 per cent volunteer sub scriptions in the United Drive for Re lief in the Near East These employees who in all previous patriotic campaigns have displayed their steadfast loyalty by 100 per cent subscriptions, have do- mated $250.00 as their bit toward the 900 fund which Maricopa county must raise in the drive which starts next week.
 Volunteer contributions aggregating $500 have already been brought into headquarters by those who have been impelled to act on the crying appeal which has come across 10000 miles to America
 These anticipated subscriptions rep resenting as they do a substantial do- nation from Maricopa county alone have created an air of confidence about the relief headquarters that the state will make as creditable a showing in this drive as it has done in previous campaigns.
 We have made no effort to solicit funds" said state director Charles r. Willis last night "Our great triple drive does not start until Monday and  yet my desk is already being swamped with substantial donations and I am almost tempted to wire national head quarters to releose the word that Ari- zona gives every indication that it will oversubscribe it's quota"
 Pima county is running a neck and neck race with Maricopa in a matter of volunteer subscriptions Wire re ceived yesterdar at state headquarters indicated that the plan is bearing fruit in Tucson and that already consider able sum had been raised although the total figure was not named.
 Reports from county chairmen indi- cate that all organizations are now complete and that all preliminary work is out of the way. The public has been fully apprised of the object and details of the campaign and everything is in readiness for the actual solicitation of funds which will start Monday

Ciingir,g to a Myth
Editor of The Triunc.


Sir: Referring to your editorial of to-
day "Clinging to Myth,' l beg to say:
No reservation by the United States SEN
ate either of the Monroe Doctrine or of the
United States reserved right to withdraw
from the league of nations would be ef
fective unless at the time such reservation
were attempted to be exercised the council
of the league then approved of its exercise.
Such reservation might be as worthless
and Intellectual as the like reservation Of
the alleged right of Virginia, New York
and Rhode Island to sccede from the Fed
eral Union contained in the respective rati-
fcations of the United States Constitution
by those states held to be during the
Civil War. BY the sword of war, and later
by the decision of the Federal Supreme
Court, it was decided that, Notwithstanding
express reservations in their rat ifcations
of the Constitution of the right of those
states to secede, the Federal Union was
perpetual and indissolublc. Texas v.

In the Fourteen Diamond Rings case (1S3

The council of the league of nations is an
autocracy, like the Holy Alliance, without
any Supreme Court or any other council or
legislative body to hold it in check. 1t is
the sole judge of its own powers. 1t is
union of the executive legislative and Judi
ciary merged into one body. If its de-
cision, however erroneous is disregarded,
an international boycott, embargo or taboo
will be followed by an international war, in
which it is the duty of every member state
to support the international war to the
utmost of its strength There is no more
reason to believe that in an emergency the
Monroe Doctrine would be respected be-

No Time to Change

SO far the "round robin" Senators
and those brought to agree with them
IN essentials have not found events 60
ing to their dissatisfaction. This has
been because they have pursued de-
fensible and patriotic course-have de-
voted themselves to the task of secur-
ing some sort of league while eliminat-
ing the evil in the one whose draft was
presented to them.
A policy that was good enough to win
with is good enough to stand by Any
attempt to kill the covenant by amend
ing it to death will arouse the powerful
sentiment which forms a league of ma
,tions and which believes that the COW
'enant adequately safeguarded is better
than nothing
No reason apparently exists for
shelving the motto Ratification With
Reservations"

The Austrian Terms

The abstract of the Austrian peace
terms furnished to American readers
pquesA rather than satisfies curiosity.
1t leaves highly important questions un
answered. What disposition is made Of
the territory on the Adriatic which Aus
tria surrenders? How is Dalmatia to
be apportioned? Or Istria? Fiume, of
course, belonged to Hungary. But set
tlement of the Fiume dispute is inter
locked with settlement Of the dispute
over the Dalmatian ports and islands.
1t is noted in Paris that the American
summary omitted important territorial
readjustments, supplementing those of
the partial treaty draft handed to the
Austrian peace delegates on June 2.
The Hungarian district Of Odenburg, to
the south of Vienna, is attached to Aus
tria. Czecho- Slovakia acquires a bridge
head south of the Danube, at Pressburg,
enabling her to protect that important
railroad centre, on the line Of her COM
munications with the Adriatic
The various parts Of the former
Austro-Hungarian Empire are required
to assume their share of the imperial
pre-war debt. Some Of these parts will
be included in Jugo-Slavia. But what
parts? That is what the public is most
concerned about in the Austrian peace
settlement.
So far as reparation is concerned,
ho .oJ
in the treaty with Germany. No flat
initial payment is fixed, however, An
inter-Allfed commission ia to pass on
Austria's ability to pay, which is now
greatly restricted. The Austrian army
is to be reduced to 10000 men. The
navy has vanished. Austria will have
no seaports. Her Danube fleet will be
drawn on to make ton-for-ton repara-
ton, as far as possible, for Allied ship
ping destroyed by her surface warships
and submarines.
The Austrian terms are severe A
major power has been reduced to a very
minor power. The ancient Hapsburg
motto was: "Austrj8 est inperare orbi
terrarum." Now Austria is a shadow
a state hardly able to walk alone But
it must not be forgotten that Austria
willed her own destruction She pre-
cipitated the war in the hope of secur-
ing firmer grip on her restless sub
ject peoples. She sinned deliberately.
The peace treaty dismemberment is the
penalty she pays for her illimitable
folly

were called on to choose between walking
or paying 10 or Is cents.
AS to where, between charges for
transfers and double fares, lies the pub
lie interest, there is excuse for varia-
tion of view. Men and women will differ
according to whether they so live as to
need to change cars before reaching
destination. On the whole, a transfer
charge seems preferable to a double or
triple fare. A unified system is now
taken as matter of course, but the
public will quickly learn what it means
if withdrawn. 1t will mean congestion,
and thousands of families will be under
pressure to change their homes as often
as their workers change their jobs. 1t
will subtract from the citys productive
power, by using up in pavement
pounding energy now applied in work.
In a score of ways it is uneconomic and
thus retrogressive.
