TRY TO LURE JEWS BACK
INTO THE "WILDERNESS.'

An account in THE Jewish Chron-
icle" describes a proposal for a Jewish
colony at Rapha, in the FL Arish dis
trict, says a correspondent of The Lon
don Standard. 1t is stated that 10000
acres nave been acquired, and that
the district Is especially fitted for the
production of almonds, ~apricots, figs,
olives, mulberry trees, eucalyptus cas-
tor, n cactus of the very best quail
ity, and 1t is believed that the vine
grape could also be planted with great
success. The land is said to be sit
uated within the area offered to the
late DR.. Herzl, leader of the Zionist
movement. in 1903 by the Egyptian
government, at the instance of the
British authorities.
This report would appear to err on
the side of optimism. FL Arish is sit
uated In the northwest of the Sinai
Peninsula. which is the wilderness
in which the Israelites wandered for
forty years before their entry into the
Promised Land.

A. to Capital Punishment.

the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In the STAR from time to time I
have seen stories about the execution
of Mrs. Angelina Napolitano at Sault
Ste. Marie mex month. Many men
have offered to die in her stead on
the scaffold. A pretty safe way TO tell
whether a thing is right or not is to
abandon abstract principles and make
the question personal. That was done
by the president of France, IL I re
member correctly, In the case of hang
ing a murderer. lie said he would
not sign a death warrant for the def
mite and simple reason that he would
not think of executing the prisoner
with his own hands and that he there
fore could not and would not ask any
one else to do what he did not con-
slider was right for himself to do.
This seems to me peculiarly good
reasoning. If the judge who sentences
or the executive who signs the death
warrant is not willing to put the
prisoner to death himself, how can he
rightfully ask anyone else to do 1t?
And if he can't, on what grounds Is
capital punishment justifiabie?

WHY PUTNAM THREW THE HAMMER.

e0 HERE are Americans who will bitterly eensure the Kansan
Rhodes scholar, Putnam, a student at Oxford, for lending his
skill in hammerthrowingt to defeat the Harvard Yale athletes
and give the victory to Oxford and Cambridge in the athletic
competition in London yesterday. But the contest was a collegiate,
not an international, one. There are students from all over the
world in both the English and American universities, and they all
possess the university spirit which is loyalty to alma mater. 1t
was with no lack of Amei can loyalty that the Rhodes scholar
stepped in to rescue his university from defeat. He did not look at
it that way. He was there not as an American citizen, but as an
Oxonian, and he threw his winning hammer as an Oxford athlete.
But the incident is suggestive of the mixed relations that are grow
ing up between the two countries. During the recent coronation
ceremonies, it is said, about 100000 Americans were in London as
spectators, and the cabled accounts of the event described the prom
inence in them of scores of American women wearing English titles.
The most prominent vessel in the naval ceremonies was the Amer
lean battleship Delaware. But perhaps the most significant event
of all was the defeat of an American team by a British team in a
hot game of baseball. While all this is going on, what, really, is
the use of an arbitration treaty? ~

DR.. kOCHs VIEWS
NOW D|sPR0vEO
Royal Society Reaches COnClu.
sion After Investigation
Lasting Ten Years.

LONDON. July 12.--After investlga-
lions extending over ten years, the
royal commission on tuberculosis APP
pointed in the first year of King Ed
wards reign, has ISSUED its final re-
port, which shows that, contrary to the
theory of Koch, who declared In 1901
that tuberculosis in human beings and
therefore not communicable from one
to the other. both forms of the malady
are for all practical purposes Identical.
There may be minute differences In
the bacilli. but the royal commission
pronounces decisively that children can
be and are infected by milk from dis
eased COWS.
While DR.. Koch's view never met
with general acceptance, 1t has been
held by a large number of physicians
to be partly correct in that the infec=
ton al only one-sided. The royal
commission decides that mammals and
man can infect each other either way.
After investigation of the cases of
12S persons suffering from tuberculosis
the commission declares that the dis
ease germ in adult consumptives, espe-
cially in lung cases, is nearly always
the human germ, and not that from
cattle, Jul with children he case is
very different. Among young children
who died from the wasting of the in
testine the germ from the cow vas the
cause In nearly half the cases. FIR
Their, a large proportion of cases of dis
eased neck glands in both children and
adults was due to the same cause.
Fatal results In children do not al
ways follow, though all the intestinal
cases examined were fatal. In adults
the experiments might tend to dis
count the extent of the danger not only
of the milk of tuberculosis cows. but
also of their flesh"
But" adds the report, I'VE have
found cases of tuberculosis in adult
sufficiently extensive to %incapaci-
tate the patient for the ordinary duties
of life, and in two instances ending
in which we were able to at
tribute the disease solely to the effects
OF the bovine tuberculosis bacillus"
The commission urges a variety of
to guard against infection
from tuberculosis animals.

susgestion for ECONOMY.


To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
l want to suggest n municipal
economy that may have escaped the
attention of those under whose direc-
ton it would naturally come. In New
ark we have three systems of play
grounds, those of the Playground Com
mission. those of the Board of Educa-
ton, and those of the Essex County
Park Commission.
They are independent of each other.
and yet all seek to accomplish the same
end In the same locality. I do not say
It would be well to put them under, one
head, but | do believe that a great deal
of money could be saved If the three
systems would unite In buying supplies
and apparatus. The requisites for play
ground work are high priced, and a
league between the playground man
ayers, not only of this city, but of all
in the county, could buy them whole
sale and get big reductions.

NATIONAL ANTHEM OF
ENGLAND IS CHANGED.

A change has been made in h Eng
fish national anthem. In these days,
when the main thought throughout the
civilized world Is peace, one of h old
verses OF the anthem Is said to have
struck the king as sounding a some
what discordant note. 1t ran:
80 Lord our God arise.
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks;
on Him our hopes we fix
o save us all.
That verse, has now been replaced by
the following, written by Dean Hole,
and breathing a. more peaceful spirit:
30 Lord our God arise,
Scatter his enemies,
Make wars to cease.
Keep us from plague and dearth.
Turn Thou our woes to mirth,
And over all the earth;
Let there be peace
This alteration has been specially
sanctioned by King George, and is
therefore of national Importance. see
ing that it is now likely to be Lniver-
sally followed.

To the EDITOR OF tho Evening star:
| wish to have a word to say In re-
gard to the action of Senator Aoker-
man handing over tlss salary he re-
ceived while acting as governor to
Governor WILSON. This is not just the
proper thing In my opinion, for 1t gives
the Governor the chance to go away
Just as often as he wishes with the
knowledge hat he will be compensated
just as if he were present and acting.
We can readily see why Senator
Alderman gave up the check. He does
not need the money, but he does need
the notoriety. Now, it may be all well
as far as the two men are concerned,
but the citizens who elected Wilson
would rather see him act. He may be
as ambitious as he wants, but let the
presidential bee show itself at the
right time. The entire AFFAIR does not
appear to me to be quite the right
thing. A READER.

sengers. In several recent railroad accidents the steel car proved
its great resistance to shocks that demolished the ordinary wooden
car, There has been a large increase in the number of steel cars in
use on the railroads and it should be demanded of the railroads
that in a reasonable time all wooden cars be abolished, especially
on roads operating fast trains. This will be a step in advance of
the introduction of safety brakes and the abolition of the car stove.
There is still room for great improvement in the railroad business
in this country.
