Y. w. C. A. DRIVE COMES TO A
CLOSE.

After a very intensive campaign dur
ing which our group was enabled to
make a wonderful showing considering
the times, the Y. w. c. A. membership
drive was brought to close this week.
OF course the public has a general
knowledge of the intrinsic value of
the great work of the Young Women's
Christian Association, but 1t is to the
activities of the Phyllis Wheatley
Branch that we wish to call special
attention. Its progress has been rap
id and its usefulness demonstrated in
a most practical manner during the
past year. The management has been
careful and conservative and every
step has been upon sure ground. Small
wonder then as an institution that its
manifest worth touched the heart OF
one of Denver's Methodist women,
who aided substantially in securing
the present magnificent home for the
Branch. The institution can enjoy
such a remarkable growth as the
Phyllis Wheatly Branch without sac
rificial tax upon the time and ability
of those charged with its management
1t is therefore a pleasure for us to of
fer testimonials to

serfdom by his continuous agitation
for the rights of humanity. Let us re-
member him as being worthy of the
association of other great minds whose
birthdays we celebrate, and in ponder
ing over his accomplishments for his
race, we say word of encouragement
to those of us who have profited by
his life and works as well as pass an
enconium upon his blissful memory.

DRAFT OF PALESTINE CONSTR
TUITION PLEASES ZIONISTS

London q. c.. B)-The Zionist
Organization is understood to have
expressed it's satisfaction with the
Palestine constitution, the draft of
which has been published by the
Morning Post.
The present draft is in line with
for Palestine, and the Zionists find
that it meets their minimum require
ments.
The fact that the constitution
gives the Arabs majority in the
Legislative Council causes no misgiv-
ings to the Zionists, who are believed
to consider this majority relatively
unimportant if only proper safe
guards are provided for Jewish i'm
migration and Zionist colonization, in
Palestine.
That the Zionists propose to offer
certain suggestions with regard to
the constitution is made clear by the
announcement that the next meeting
of the Zionist Executive will consider
the draft, and propose certain amend
ments. The British government is
understood to have promised to con-
slider the amendments without preju-
dice to the broad principles laid down
in the constitution.
Zionists find much qualification in
the official government statement ac-
companying the draft, that the gov
eminent at no time considered revis-
ing or recalling the Balfour declara-
ton.
The British Government handed
the draft of the Constitution for Pal
estine to the World Zionist Organiza-
tion and the Arab Delegation in Lon
don. The main point provides that
the executive power rests with the
High Commissioner. The Constitu-
ton also includes a clause relating to
the creation of Legislative Council
in Palestine, part of which will be
elected by the population and part
appointed by the High Commissioner.
The Constitution contains the usual
provisions safeguarding the religious
and civil rights of all inhabitants.
The High Commissioner is empow-
cred to refer all matters upon which
he and the Legislative Council can
not agree, to the Secretary of State
for ultimate decision.
