Correspondence of
London, Nov. 16.-cne result of the

of the dream Of centuries past-the
setting up, of Palestine as an inde

and Russia will favor the project, says
the London. GIobe-England because

will be the best possible protection to

Globe says: ,.-.-
THE events of the moment show
how Immediately Egyptian integrity
is imperiled by the fact that a right of
way through Palestine is open to a
hostile power. Palestine must become
either British or neutral. There is an
obvious political objection to a Brit

more desirable solution. 49, '..|'

NO FORCIBLE CUE
AMPUTATION

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Peking, Nov. 12.-At the suggestion
of foreign advisors to the government.
the forcible amputation of queues has
been abandoned. The ministry of the
anterior had issued instructions to the
police of Peking to cut off forcibly
the queues of rickshaw coolies. The
police were armed with scissors and
proceeded to fulfil instructions. The
rickshaw coolies banded together and
several instances resisted and injured
one or two policemen.
Two of the foreign advisors to Pres
ident Yuan Shi-kai pointed out to
prominent Chinese officials of mod
ern education that this action was un--
warranted on the part of the minis
try and was distinctly contrary to the
ideas held in foreign countries of the
rights of a citizen of republic. The
Chinese officials argued that the
queue was badge of servitude. The
advisors replied that it may have
been such to men who had read his
t3tory and understood that the Manchu
had introduced the style. but that to
the coolie the queue was a recognized

markable facttthat people which lost

cherishes the memory of that loss. and
links the hope of recovery with its
deepest religious instincts.
Here then we have two influences
at work for the re-esta blishment of a
Jewish state-the British. desire for d
neutral Palestine, and the territorial
instinct of the Jews themselves. There
is third influence. Russia has pledg-
ed herself to the establishment of
an autonomous Poland under the car.
But in Poland, as we know it now,
there is one obvious obstacle to the
development of a Polish state strong
in its national consciousness, and that
is the presence of a large Jewish ele-
ment. All who know Russian Poland
will agree that settlement of the
Jewish question is essential to the
complete success of the great scheme
to which Russia is pledged, and will
recognize that it is precisely to the
Polish Jews that the reconstruction of
the Jewish state would make the
strongest appeal"
