As some of the advocates OF the
League Of Nations have recently taken
the liberty of saying that THEopoRl
ROOSEVELT favored the League Of Ma
lions, TIE Sun believes 1t will be
conclusive to reprint the letter which
Colonel ROOSEVELT wrote to Sir HENRY
RIDER HAGaARD month before he
died. 1t is dated at New York, De
cember 6, 1918, and reads thus:
my DEAR RIDER HAooARD: In .
: moment OF pessimism the other day
l said I never wished to hear from
any Engllshman excepting -. but
that was because l had forgotten
you.

Germany has suffered a change of
heart, but am anything but certain.

rina, Terms of the Austrian Treaty.

The treaty which was handed to
the Austrian delegation at Paris early
I'M June was accepted as Incomplete
in many important details bearing
upon the size of the military force
that Austria might continue to main
tain and upon certain disputed terri
torial boundaries. After an exchange
of notes and opinions covering about
seven weeks the full text of the treaty
has. been submitted to the delegat ton.
1t does not change the conditions pro-
hlbitihg union with Germany: : IL
limits the future Austrian army to
10000 men and makes certain terri
torial concessions, but so far as can
be discovered from the copy of the
treaty received in this country 1t
leaves still unsettled the eastern Ital-
ian boundary dispute.
The new terms make an unex-
pected concession 10 Austria In the
Odenburg district, Hungarian terri
tory bordering upon the Austrian
State of Syria. The reason Of
this grant is stated to be that the
district is overwhelmingly German 4;
but another purpose may be found in
the fact that this region Is necessary
to the defence of Vienna. The Aus
TRANS are to surrender to the Czechs
the bridgehead on the Danube oppo-
site Pressburg and to receive in COM
pensatiOn territory around Gmtind,
on the southern border of Czecho-
Slovakia.
The value Of this concession to the
Czechs Is that 1t gives them an as
sured control of the railway route 10
the Adriatic Sea- and of the Orient
line 10 Constantinople and the Near
East. Their outlet to the sea on the
north was secured by the treaty with
Germany. The award, however, which
\ promises to cause the most serious
complication is that of the Odenburg
district. The Hungarian Soviet Gov
eminent few weeks ago depressed a
demonstration IN favor OF annexation
TO Austria by burning German villages
and killing number of the German
inhabitants. AS the Austrians were
unable to send force to this region
It haSsince remained in control Of the
Soviet troops.
This situation has given the Aus
trians the basis for their objection to
the Limitation placed upon their army.
They declare that while 10000 men
may he large enough force for the
control of their own country It II not
sufficient to meet the Hungarian Red
army. There has been, however. On
intImation from Paris that this diff

pest. The conditions in the Hunga-
rian capital have resulted, according
to the latest reports, In a mastery
OF the city and its vicinity by the

been used to enforce the orders of the

curity Of not only Austria but OF the

burg empire must depend largely
upon the Guiding Of the BoIsheyist
