Jewish city. Moro than a hundred
Jewish schools have been established
there. Banking is monopolized by the
Jews. They are dominant in every
branch of trade and industry. Recently
the Turkish government has found 1t
necessary to organize a company Of
Jewish gendarmes to co-operale in po-
liclng the city. From Europe and
America, II is reported, large sums of
money are being sent into Palestine to
enable the poorer Jews, the prosecuted
refugees from Russia, Roumania and
Galicia, to build homes and establish
themselves on the farming land. Hos
pitals, invalid homes and synagogues
are springing up here and there.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher
still belongs to the Moslems. of course,
but photographs show many Jews
mingling In the throngs incident to the
worship of the various Christian bodies
who hold services there.
A recent correspondent declares that
land has quadrupled in value since tho
Jews began to flock into the country.

ViriIity of Jewish Race.
The virility of the Jewish race is one
or the wonders Of the world. Desplsed,
prosecuted. ruthlessly downtrodden for
centuries by national decree and by in
dividual prejudice, the Jew has made
his way TO opuleuco and power. to the
respect and vcncration OF the thinking
world. The Jews are people who hang
together That ancient, ineradicable
national feeling has kept them one
people wherever they have wandered.
The orthodox Jews cling to their re-

than do any other religionlsts.

seem to indicate that things will be

What zionism Means.
A Zionist banking and commercial
institution called the Anglo Palestine
company is engaged in a determined
campaign in behalf of Zionism. The
Turkish government is facing a prob
lem which engages the interest OF man
kind throughcut Christendom. Zionism
is an organized effort to restore the
rule of Judaism in Palestine If possi-
BILE. and, failing that, TO acquire land
holdings to such an extent that the
Holy Land will be a Jewish nation in
everything but government. Some
years ago n movement for the pur-
chase Of Palestine from the sultan was
set on foot. TSe plan embraced auton-
omy for the JSws, with all the great
nations uniting in protectorate. The

$50, 100000 acres. This is about one
fourth of the area OF the country. APP
proxlmately SOO,0O0,OOO acres have
yielded to the demands Of agriculture
and building, being cleared of timber
either by the pioneer ak or the lum-
berman's saw. ~
1t is pointed out by the experts in
the forest service that there are vast
areas of cleared land, practically aban-
doned now because the soil has become
poor, which could be reforested. It is
the aim of the service to reforest tho
burned over or bare regions I'm the ma
tional domains and to urge private
owners Of unused treeless lands to
plant them TO useful trees. This work,
to be sure, is largely for the benefit OF
posterity, but it Is the highly ethical
theory of the forest conservers and
creators that no man lives for his own
generation alone.
There are large bare spots I'm many
forests which should be reforested. on
the Pacific coast the cut over areas
frequently are stocked with a very
scattering stand of trees and a dense
growth of underbrush.
According to a recent publication OF
i
cent of our present producing forests
is saw tlmber-that is, of size and
fiber at for cutting into lumber. The
same authority says that from 80 to
70 per cent could be made saw timber

best trees by thinning9 and the hold

ell
to be why the people now on earth, for
the most part, fail to devote their
time and energy to tree planting and
cultivation. Potatoes and corn bring
immediate returns. Trees belong TO
the future so far as their harvest Is
| concerned. But for all that the plant
ing of trees Is for the benefit of the
very next generation as we'll as those
to follow. our own children will reap
the harvest.
overton w. Price, recent associate
forester, says. Under present coudi-
tions chestnut, cypress. redwood. vel
low poplar, red and black oak, loblolly,
jack. red and white pine and western
yellow pine VIII grow post timber four

fifty years and on the Pacific coast in
| thirty-five years. The time now needed
TO grow tie in our forests runs from
thirty-five years for red gum TO l5O
years for white cedar and tamaracll in
the northern swamps."
Without the forest service a treeless
nation some generations hence seems
to be inevitable, since destructive
agencies have been making inroads
upon the wooded area from the time
OF first settlement The forest service
not only has called half. but It has
started the impetus IN the other di-

valuable than that publicly owned, and
1t Is the duty of the forester and his
associates 80 to conserve the national
forests as TO increase the value of their
timber. The fact that hard work is be-
Ing done on theEe national reserves is
indicated by the recent official state
ment that forestry is now practiced
on 70 per cent of the forests publicly
owned and on less than l per cent of
the forests privately owned, or on only
Is per cent of the total area of for
es,s," This indicates also that private
forests are sadly neglected. simply left
to shift for themselves, while public
forests are carefully coached to do
their best toward attaining a high
standard of value and service to the
people.
