Allied Reply Said to Point
Mistakes in Presidents Note

PARIS. Thursday. February 19 (by
the Associated Press).-The reply of
the supreme allied council to Presi-
dent Wilson's note relative to the
Adriatic opens with a long disserta-
ton which is intended to point out
mistakes made by Mr.. Wilson in the
parallel he drew between the Adriatic
solution adopted in December and the
terms of the ultimatum sent to Jugo-
slavia in January, says "Pertinax," po-
litical editor of the Echo de Paris.
France and England" he says.
would certainly have liked to have
held to the December solution, but
events prevented them and they were
unable to reconcile rival interests on
such a basis.
Gould President Wilson have done
better? Let him kindly show what he
would have done had he been in the
place Of the negotiators Of the Janu-
ary compromise. Such are the gen.
eral lines of the document handed to
John w. Davis, American ambassador
in London. night before last"
Note Contains 1000 Words.
BUENOS AIRES, February 18.-The
Rome correspondent of La Nacion says
that the allied reply to President Will
sons Adriatic note. which contained
1000 words. is very extensive and sets
out to refute the arguments of the
President paragraph by paragraph. II
calls attention to the loyalty of Italy
and places emphasis on the voluntary
proposal Of Premier Nitti to concede
complete autonomy to Dalmatia.
President Wilson's note. says the cor
respondent, places in relief the diver
gences between the North American
project and the allied compromise fol
the Adriatic settlement, and employs
language similar to that used by the
Jugoslavs in their note to the allies
on January 1S.
referring to the alternative to the
compromise-the application of the
pact Of London, the correspondent de-
clares that President Wilson opposes
this violently, asserting that he is un'
able to take into consideration a Sc
cret treaty, which, in his judgment
/. zone of the worst examples OF
iniquitous violation of the rights OF
small peoples"
In conclusion the note says that the
moment has arrived to speak with en-
tire frankness, and, the correspondent
adds. "afirms that the allies compro
mise il in every way Incompatible with
the principles established by the four
teen points, which allies accepted in
tegrally."

The Trolley Profits Needed

Editor of Penns Grove Record,
Dear Sir:-I read with interest letter
of March 18th by Mr.. Edmund J. Phil
lips. Apparently Mr.. Phillips in
speaking of bread is going ON the as
sumption that the Traction Company
can live without bread. l would like
to know the attitude Mr.. Phillips
would take if he had spent a small for
tune to equip a butcher shop in the
town of Penns Grove and paid the
town of Penns Grove handsomely for
the privilege of running this butcher
shop and when he had become estab-
lished in business the borough author
tiles allowed some person to sell meat
on the sidewalk from a stand directly
in front of his door without paying as
much for the privilege as he had for
his privilege. Would he feel that If
steps were taken to regulate this curb
butcher to the extent that he himself
had been regulated in his business that
the bread was being taken from the
mouth of his opposition =? | don't
think he would. This community can
support a trolley service and demand
good trolley service but it cannot sup
port a trolley service good or bad with
unregulated jitney competition. No
doubt the people will have whichever
one they want but they can rest as
sured that they will not have both very
long under present conditions. No
company, corporation or individual is
going to operate and arbitrarily drop
$4,000 every year. Mr.. Phillips is
strong on service without profits.
There is no such animal in captivity,
Where there are no profits there is no
service, good, bad or Indifferent. If
the town ran their own street railway
and there was no profits on the money
invested which is the same as interest
the taxpayers would have to make
this deficit up in taxes. Of course if
n had no property to tax he would
be in luck. l thank you for the space
afforded.
Yours very truly,
H. C. Berry, Superintendent.
