AMBITIOUS PLANS
Of Z|0N|ST5

f the war in Europe changes the
outlook for the better of any
cause more quickly land more
radically than it did that of Zion
ism among Jews of America and
OF the world, that cause, whatever it
be, has not yet been discovered. A
year ago few Jews were Zionists;
the vast majority were not. And they
were rather zealously not. They
fought the plan, often by ridicule, a
deadly weapon. Today almost all
Jews are Zionists The change was
brought about by the war and by the
probable fall of the Turkish power
in Syria. American Jews are leading.
Jews Of the world are watching what
Jews here do and say.
In Boston there was recently held
Zionist week. The Federation of
American Zionists held congress and
various other Jewish organizations
held congresses, conventions, confer
ences. These other Jewish bodies in
clude the Knights of Zion, strongest in
the middle West, and composed chief
ly of laymen; the Order of Sons of
Zion, Hadasseh, composed of Jewish
women. Poale Zion, Misrachi, and the
Young Judeans. Conventions sat in
the old City club and in the syna-
gogues. The remarkable growth of
Zionism is shown by the fact that
the American federation has 1856 or
CARNATIONS affiliated with it, all grow
ing, and al in favor of the new move
ment in Palestine. 1t is now claimed
that three in four of all American
Jews are Zionists
1t may we'll be asked: Precisely
what is Zionism among the Jews? The
answer is that it is an effort to satisfy
that longing among Jews, longing
centuries old, for a national and re-
ligious home; home that is their
own; home that is in the land of
the Bible; home where there is not
only politics, but where religious Ju-
daism asserts itself and grows. All
Jews agree that with the end of this
great war must come solution of the
Jewish problem that will stay solved
for all time, and most Jews hold firm
ly the point that home in Syria will
furnish such solution.
Looking Here for Leadership.
Jews do not reckon that all Of
their number, about $4,000, 900, will mi
CRATE to Palestine. That is not their

Health and Excitement.

The sick rate in Russia has de.
creased since the war began. Part of
the mprovement--doubt the great
er parts due to the passing of
vodka, but something must be SAID for
the curious way in which the human
frame reacts to excitement and de-
velops resistance to disease under the
stimulus of strong interests or emo
tions.

thought or expectation. Some Jews
now in America desire to go there.
Many more in Russia, in Poland, in
Austria, in Germany, in England, are
looking to Jews IN this country to
lead in plans that may make it posi-
BILE for them to go there. The expec-
tation is that Palestine can become
Jewish state of 100000 besides
other races remaining there. Here
Jews may have home, even If all
Jews do not reside in it. Here Jews
may. demonstrate successful govern
ment, based on those ideals Of Jewish
patriarchs with which Christians are
familiar, but which they do not fol
low. Here, as one Zionist leader, Rev.
DR.. H. Pereira Mendes of New York,
puts it, there may be established
great Hebrew university for the study
Of world questions; one that Will en-
phasize the spiritual state Of the Worlo
existing for the world; and that goes
further even than Lincoln's program
for a nation, and teach government
of the people, for the peoples OF the
world. and under God, by the peoples
of the world"
American Jews have already en-
tered into Zionist plans. Jews OF st.
Louis have just bought 5000 acres OF
land quite near to the shores Of the
Sea Of Galilee. One hundred and nj
ty Jews of New York, joining In
plan. have invested s455,000 in tract
near Haifa. Some Chicago Jews have
purchased a tract not far from
Cana, where was the wedding feast
mentioned by st. John. Sixty Jews OF
Winnipeg have bought a vast tract
near the Sea of Joppa, and Pittsburgh
and Cleveland Jews are interested IN
a tract of 1900 acres not far from the
Armageddon about which SO much is
heard in political literature OF our
day

my heart is rebellious, and somehow I
cannot, I cannot!"
And as the struggle went on In The
Girls mind The Mother said not a
word. But her eyes held the tragedy
that hung over the household and
until the time came when she could
no longer bear their reproach, so she
wrote a grave and courteous note to
The Little Old Man, telling him that
when the evening came he might call
for his answer; and when she passed
the finished message to The Mother
her lips were smiling and her voice
did not tremble as she spoke.
II have been very foolish girl.
Now I'll try to be grateful one," she
said.
Great punches of violets preceded
the coming of The Little Old Man. The
box in which they came quite covered
the library table, and when they had
been. distributed about the house the
air was laden with their perfume-the
perfume of all others which The Girl
best loved-the flower among flowers
for her.
They are so shy, SO innocent, and
their fragrance always suggests youth
to me, eternal youth" She had ex-
planned her preference once to The
Little Old Man. and he paid her trib-
ute now by his memory of her words.
Nor was he oblivious to the great
profusion of his flowers as he sat
alone in the strangely silent house
waiting fer The Girl to bring him the
answer he craved. The mark Of his
years was more indelibly stamped
upon the quality of his Impotence
than he knew, and so it was that he
did not see The Girl as she stood in
the doorway watching his irritable
squirming, while his fat old face
famed crimson and his bald head
glistened like polished thing.
Suddenly he lifted his eyes to The
Girl, and into them there crept light
which made her think of the CLEAN
she had once seen in the eyes of
cat as he made sure of a frightened
little gray mouse, and despite her out
ward calm The Girl felt very much
like the mouse.
Sure of his prey, The Little Old Man
waddled to the side of The Girl, and
when he had taken her into his arms
his lips sought hers, and The Girl, be-
cause there seemed to be no other
way, made no protest.
Into his kiss crept that hideous
thing The Girl had seen in The Lit
tie Old Mans eyes, the lust of his
wrinkled old flesh, the maudlin senti-
mentality of decaying years, the
hideousness of clay that is Invested
of soul-and like poor and wounded
| animal. The Girl released herself and
stood at bay-all the vague, uncertain
fears which had first caused her de-
NAL OF her mothers wish springing
into form which her youth read with
unntterable loathing and disgust.
And even now, after many years, the
Little Old Man (who still lives. al
though he is physical wreck) is
filled with wonder when he recalls
the strange conduct of The Girl who
left him to find his way alone out Of
the big house just at the moment
| when he was sure of winning her hand
in marriage.

map found in the back of his Bible,
he finds that desert fills the very cen
ter of the region that Jews must oc-
cupy If they call Palestine home. The
fact is that until a few years ago
almost all Of the Holy Land was des-
ert In the sense that it was treeless,
and its acres raised next to nothing
in the way of crops. But all that has
changed. Deserts are no more des-
erts in Palestine than in our own
West. Expert tillers of land have
seen to that. Trees now grow in
Palestine, and the land raises great
crops of grain and harvests of fruits.
Very large numbers of Jews already
live in Palestine, of course, and there
are considerable cities. True Jerusa-
lem has barely a population of As
600, but Damascus is a thriving city
OF 100000, Beirut one of 10000, and
Bagdad, away off in the East, 145, 200.
Joppa has 10000, ancient Antioch IT,
600. Hebron 10000, and Tarsus.
where st. Paul came from, $4,000.
Region Jews Want.
The region which Jews covet for
home extends from the sea eastward
to the Euphrates, and perhaps beyond,
taking in not only Syria, but perhaps
part of Mesopotamia. Possibly it
may extend into Anatolia, and north
ward into Kurdistan and Armenia An
cient Babylon will then be within it's
borders, and so many parts Of the
great Bagdad railway line, which Con.
stantinople in favorable hands is to
be the route to India by the way of
the Persian gulf, rather than around
Spain, through the Gibraltar straits,
the Suez canal, and the Red sea. Here
is a region considerably larger in
square miles than France, and so far
as territory goes, therefore, compe-
tent to make Jewish one of the great
states of the world.
A few months ago there was tenta-
lively formed in England Christian
committee ON the Holy Land that i'm
mediately sounded their acquaintance
in America on the subject of Great

nothing of late has been heard OF
this plan. These English Christians
were, however, sufficiently alive to
business to say to American Chris
tians that first need of the proposed
Palestine resort would be the devel-
opment of rapid transit lines, al
ready begun, so that electric railways
would cover every part of the ia
nous region. There were also to be
comfortable hotels. So equipped, the
statement in these English letters was
to the effect that the whole world
besides does not afford place that
would actually attract 50 many visit
ors.
Development Going On.
Developments of banks, of farms.
of hospitals, of sanitary homes and
of many things that go to make up
comfortable living, have been put into
Palestine Jews now feel that with
the end of the war, and land ques-
tons uppermost, there will be tremen-
dous strife for possession of Palestine.
They argue that they are the logical
heirs to it, and they purpose, through
consolidation of their Zionist forces,
to be in position to accept it and to
guarantee it's wise use. They will
argue that the Christian development
as proposed by the English Christians
need not be shut out; that it is not
Inconsistent with their ambitions for
a Jewish home state. Jews urge for
a Palestine that is entrusted to them
a neutral government, somewhat after
the pattern of Switzerland, and here
the Jews want to apply the principles
of the Jewish law as found in the Tai
mud to modern conditions; a larger
adaptation and use of religion to mod
err education and life. Jews believe
that such a state will do away with
determinations, social and other,
against Jews everywhere.

THE REVOLT OF YOUTH

The Little Old Man was fat and bald
and seventy.
The Girls life was at Springtime,
roseate with dreams, joyous with
youth.
When first they met and someone
told The Girl that she made a deep
impression on The Little Old Man, her
laughter rang out merrily.
How funny" she exclaimed. why,
there's an entire lifetime between us. )"
Whereupon The Mother told The
Girl quite gravely that there are peo-
pie in this old world of ours who
never grow old, because their spirit
has drunk at the fountain CT eternal
youth.
But not The Little Old Man." re-
piled The Girl amusedly.
And The Mother answered back
that she was not so sure OF that
When the crash came, The Mother
called The Girl to her room.
"Ah, my DEAR" she told her, at is
to you we look for everything now.

The Mother stopped to brush away
a tear and The Girl entwined her fair
young arm about her neck in tender
sympathy.
But" she questioned, how can l
help? What has my beauty to do
with fathers failure? You talk in
riddles"
You are not in lover" questioned
The Mother in sudden anxiety. mo

The Girl blushed as she smilingly
shook her head, and The Mother
sighed with obvious relief.

Mother, and The Girl recoiled as one
