If the Germans win the war the
status of Palestine viii! probably not
change. for the Turks will be of the
victorious party. But the allies. if
successful, have informally promise d
to deliver the holy places from the
domination Of the Crescent.
The Jews meeting here will devise
plans of establishing new poll
teal and religious state in Palestine.
There has been a great growth of the
Zionist cause since the war began.
Thrce-quarters of the Jews of the
world now openly favor the Zionist
cause, it is estimated by responsible
leaders of the move ment.
From 1000 to 10000 Jews are ex-
pected here. six hundred of them
delcg gates charged with the duty of
furthering the Zionist ain.
The Jews behind the Zionist plan
do not purpose that all Jews shall go
10 Palestine to live. There are some
American Jews who wish to go there,
but Palestine is not large enough to
give homes for all of the IA 100000
Jews OF the world At most, it could
accommodate hardly more than $780,
900. They contend that at the end Of
the war there will be keen contention
for Palestine, and that the logical
disposition will be to assign it to the
Jews. There are Jews of Russia
Germany and Austria who can be
sent there, and are lager to go.
Until few years ago Palestine was
a treeless region and most of the
land was rock and desert. Now trees
grow in abundance, and much of the
soil grows grain. Transportation
lines have been developed in some
cities, notably Damascus, city OF
100000. and banks and industrial con-
Germs have been established. The
Palestine that is proposed extends
from the sea on the west to the River
Euphrates on the east, taking in all
OF Syria, and possibly some of Meso-
potam!a.
The Zionists argue tihat their pos
session of Palestine need not prevent
Christians from making of it's show

They say there will be cooperation
between peoples after present war
is ended. They purpose to create at

States Navy has been particularly for
tunate with its submarines. Not a life
has been lost in their operations, al
though some of the ships have sus-
tanned minor accidents, such as are
uncommon to the hazard of submarine
maneuvers. European navies, how
ever. have had several serious acci-
dents in which submarines have gone
to the bottom and with their crews
never have been recovered.
1t was pointed out to-day that
American submarines have one feature
of construction intended to meet Just
such an emergency as confronts the
F-4 On their outer skin is a large
eye. into which graphing hooks being
trailed from rescue ships on the sur
face may catch. and the sunken craft
may be hauled into shallow water or
to the surface.
The waters of Honolulu harbor
where the F-4 lies have volcanic rock
formations at their bottom, with tall,
sharp peaks and deep, narrow pockets.
The fear is that the F-4 may have
fallen into one of the latter.

lulu dispatches report, naval officers
have no hopes whatever that any OF
her crew is alive. At such depth,
they say, the submarine must be
crushed and full of water.
Early to-day the Navy Department
received this dispatch from Com
mander Charles f. Smith, command
ing the first submarine division of the
Pacific fleet, off Honolulu:
Fl left tender at 9 a. m. for sub
merged run March 25. Failed to re-
turn to surface. Entrance of harbor
in thirty fathoms of water covered
with fuel oil. Diving and dragging"
Commander Smiths mention of the
entrance of the harbor being covered
with oil created grave alarm at the
Navy Department. 1t was feared that
was pointed out that Lieutenant EIDE
might have blown out the vessels oil
to tighten her burden.
No Signal Sent Up
But the alarm of officials was in
creased by the omission in Com
mander Smiths report of any refer
ence to a signal from the submerged
craft. She was equipped with
marker buoy attached to the outside
of the submarine and capable of being
released from within. AS no mention
was made of the appearance of the
marker buoy, officials concluded it has
not come to the surface.
The usual diving radius of a sub
marine is between $50 and 200 feet.
The worlds record for diving. made
by the FL. sister ship of the sunken
F-4, in San Francisco bay two years
ago. is 2S3 feet, at which depth she
remained for ten minutes and cruised
at speed of six knots. At that depth
the hull creaked and groaned under
the tremendous pressure and Lieuten-
ant James h. Howell, her commander,
reported that the water seeped through
her seams.
Early to-day the Navy Department
was without full information from
Rear Admiral Moore and merely had
one brief dispatch, saying the F-4 had
gone down and had not returned, and
the other from Commander Smith.
Had Little Trouble
Commander Smiths dispatch men
tioning a thirty-fathom depth gave
some hope that the F-4 might not be
more than $50 feet down, in which
case there might be a chance for the
rescue of her crew IL the work were
done promptly.

COmbing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it. then you destroy
1t entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
1t at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most If not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of il, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Advertise
