Gardens in Palestine are found main
ly In the environs Of the larger towns
and owe their existence to springs and
fountains whose precious waters give
life to the fruits and flowers, orchards.
parks and pleasure grounds which
enter into the oriental conception of
Paradise. Where no running stream
exists they depend for life upon
capacious cisterns which drink
water from the rain of heaven" They
are always carefully inclosed and pro-
tected by hedges, walls and bitches,
and the traveller is surprised amid the
heat and glare of the Syrian sun to
enter their pleasant pathways and find
retired and shady hooks under en-
towering greenery. Their scheduled
recesses have always been favorfte
resort for purposes of devotion. They
are often the gathering place of
families and friends and the token of
peace and security is when a man may
sit in safety under his own vine and
fig tree.

POTASH FOR COTTON,
IS GERMAN PROPOSAL
Officials Think Plan Would En-
counter British Blockade
as an Obstacle.

Germany has offered to swap potash
for cotton with the United States. but
as the conditions We're such as to di-
rectly offend against the British order
in council. officials of the Department
of Commerce said today that the offer
cannot be accepted.
1t is believed that the State Depart
ment may undertake to secure an
agreement with England to modify the
order in council al least to the extent
of an agreement between Germany,
England and the United States to per
NIT the two ships now at Bremen and
the one at Rotterdam loaded with
potash for this country to sail. This
plan. however, is considered as prac-
tically impossible to work out.
Same Position on Dyes.
Germanys position as to aniline dyes
is the same as that concerning potash,
and is expected to be extended to all
German products that are in vital need
in the United States.
The situation as to potash is aggra-
waited by the fact that Germany is un-
der contract to deliver large quantities
to this country. and upon which con-
tracts the German interests have al
ready received payment. In other
NoruS, 'ermafy mas DO1h the pOtaS Il
and the money. The value involved
! in the three loaded ships totals $500
600.
Had Expected Agreement.
| The adverse news received today was
a shock to the American authorities
| as Ambassador Gerard had cablcd a
| snort time ago that he believed an
amicable agreement would be reached
with Germany on the potash situation
In diplomatic circles here Germany's
| position is regarded by some as an
| EFFORT to embroil this country in fur
| ther controversy with England over
| the order in council.
The potash industry in Germany is a
| government controlled monopoly under
| the kalisyndikate, which arbitrariIs
| fixes prices.
