later when an officer touched the
shrinking form of the girl and at
tempted to lead her away, she re-
sisted and chung piteously to her
lover. Even then he gave no sign
of emotion, as the officer half led,
half carried the girl from the room,
the man starting after her turned
slowly as if to follow. He took a
step forward, stopped suddenly, and
with a gasp fell to the floor in hud-

arms in piteous appeal. DORA" he
cried, and the single sound, half sob,

rending anguish of his whole dis

A MEDICAL UNIT FOR PALES-
TINE

The utter lack of physicians, nurs-
es, drugs and medical supplies in
Palestine is squirting Hadassah on
to renewed activity on behalf of the
medical unit which it plans to send
to that country as speedily as posi-
bic.
There are only five physicians in
Jerusalem to care for population of
over $4,000, and Jaffa, with popu-
lation of 10000 has only four. Be-
fore the outbreak of hostilities there
were 20 physicians in Jaffa and an
even larger number in Jerusalem.
When the war broke out, the Jew
ish physicians were, for the most
part, summoned to military service
by their respective countries, and of
the few who were able to remain in
Palestine, some have died.
The effort to raise the needed
100000 for equipping unit consist
ing of at least ten physicians and
ten nurses, and an adequate supply
of medicines and drugs, is being
pressed with especial vigor, because
of telegram dated January 18th,
from the Hadassah in Jerusalem, re-
ceived through the American Am
bassador at Constantinople, to the
effect that sickness is increasing
alarmingly in the face of danger
Gus scarcity of medicine and food
supplies. This makes the early dis
patch of the unit of the utmost inn
portance.

Palestine to Jews Under Suzerainty
of u. S.

"The Manchester Guardian" Of
last Saturday contained an article
by a member of the British Parlia-
ment, Wedgewood, in which the
suggestion is made that Palestine
should be given over to the Jews and
that the country should stand under
the suzerainty of the United States.
In this manner the United States
will be compelled to take active part
in European affairs, and this will
be of great benefit to the Jews OF
all countries.

Finally he reached his home.
When he became little stronger he
joined group of Socialists and
helped to spread the dreams of
Utopia. One night the group was
arrested. When it was all over,
RadcoA was convicted with the rest.
The presiding justice sentenced him
to the mines, but this time the old
colonel of the regiment interviewed
and the reservist shortly found him
self on the way to the frontier. He
embarked for America and became
part of the immigrant mass which
the "Carpathia" nine days later
dumped from her hold into the iron
pens at Ellis Island.
Within twenty-four hours from
the time of landing he began to
work. For almost year he starved
and stinted himself in everything: in
clothes, in food and in all the little
necessities of life. How he worked
fifteen hours a day when others,
more hardy, could endure but
twelve; how he did a thousand and
one things all because he alone
thought of the little blind girl in the
sad land 5000 miles away, all this
is needless to tell-others have done
as much before him. Finally the
ticket was sent; tiny flat was hired,
and when he received notice that the
ship on which she sailed, had ar
rived, he was ready.
At the appointed day a few days
later he stood at the side of the blind
girl before the Board of Inquiry in
the sombre hearing chamber at Ellis
Island. The hearing was brief
one. 1t was all over very quickly
A few curt questions, some hating
replies, timid declarations of fact
intermingled with fervent words of
passionate appeal. There was
whispered consultation among the
commissioners and then a momen-
tary silence. The chairman was
speaking:
1.-THE case of this girl is an un-
fortunate one, and I am sorry for
her. But the law must be enforced.
Under the new regulations person
unable to read or write is prohibited
from landing. This girl is clearly in
admissible. Ordered deported. Next

When the girl flung herself sob
bing on the mans neck the officials
turned their heads away though
they were immigration officers and
used to such things. The man did
not weep. He remained standing
mute and motion1ess. A moment

ITO HIM THAT HATH"
BY L. H. SemonoH.

There were two men in one city, the
one rich and the other poor. The rich
man had exceeding many focks and
herds, but the poor man had nothing save
one little eve lamb which he had bought
and nourished up"
Among the reservists that fought
for the Car in the late Russo-Jap-
anese War, there was a narrow
shouldered, under-fed little Jew from
Minsk by the name of Radcoff. He
was the oldest of the family and
exempt from military service, but
the company from his district was
short Of it's full quota SO he enrolled
and sent the bonus which he re-
ceived to neighboring village
where there lived little blind girl
with whom he was in love.
He played but small part in the
business of the army. He was of
poor physique doctor said his
heart was weak. But when the
colonel had sent call for detach-
ment to blow up the great steel
bridge at Hoang-Ho near Mukden,
within the Japanese lines, the little
reservist was one of the eight volun-
teers. The affair was a success.
Five of the men never came back.
Of the three that did return, two
were Immediately promoted "for
heroic bravery" by order of General
Kuropatkin himself, but Radcoff
was Jew. Instead, he received the
small bronze cross that is awarded
for personal bravery. This and the
mangled stubs of two fingers, which
had been mutilated by the prema-
ture bursting of a shell, were left to
remind him of his share in the affair.
He had gained the coveted St.
George Cross, but lost his future in
the army. After that he was not
very active in the service. His
health had been shattered by the ex-
perience at HoangHo and from that
time on he alternated between the
hospital tent and the trenches.
Upon the close of the war, Kuro-
patkin brought his battered battalion
back from the battlefield of Man
churia and there was grand review
of the troops in St. Petersburg. For
hours and hours the broad plazas of
the capital Numbered to the tread
of the Cars marching legions.
Radcoff did not take part in the
review. In company with the others
who had been incapacitated from
future service he was taken to the
temporary hospital quarters in the
suburbs. Three days later, though
still far too i'll to travel, he was or
dered from the place. He had no

NO. 5-FROM THE MT. OLIVE
BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
We the officers and members of the
Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday school, with
becoming reverence bow in humble
submission to the will of the all-wise
Creator, since he has seen fit to take
from our midst our beloved Superin-
tendent a man who was willing at all
times to do what he could towards
helping fallen humanity.
He was always ready to stamp his
approval and support to any move
ment which he believed would con-
tribute to the moral, social and relig-
ious growth and development of his
people. He had great faith in the
possibility of the young people as
could be seen while he was acting
superintendent of this school. He
was man who seemingly felt the
need of every department of the
church work, and gave his support
and encouragement to the depart
ments of the church.
Rev. Lewis was man of true
worth, sterling qualities, unselfish in
his dealing with every body whom he
came in contact with. He believed
in giving honor to whom honor is due.
He was agreeable, possessed ar ami
able disposition and was willing to
lend O. hand with any work for the
Masters cause. He urged the neces-
sity of the Christians standing up
right, contending for the faith that
was once delivered to the saints.
Here faith reveals to mortal eyes
A brighter world beyond the skies,
Here shines the light which guides
our way
From earth to realms of endless day
Resolved that the Mt. Olive Sunday
school always hold dear in memory
the honored name of Rev T. ]. Lewis
and that we extend our deepest sym
pathy to the Borrowing companions
and relatives and commend them tc
Him in whose arms, Rev. Lewis now
rests, and that they may say with us
The will of God be done on earth as
it is in heaven.

Superintendent Of Mt. Olive Baptis

PASS THE LECHLEITER BILL.
If the passage of the Lechleiter
bill now pending before the general
assembly will lessen the evils which
daily and almost hourly are inflicted
upon the helpless and unfortunate
Negroes of Davidson County, we say
Amen.
There can be no denial Of the fact,
that Negroes and poor whites catch
it going and coming at the hands OF
the deputy Sherifs, constables and
magistrates. These arrest!ng officers,
are often coarse in their language
and brutal in their handling of their
victims. They resort to all forms Of
trickery. and downright perversion
Of facts to gain their purpose. The
cost mills must grind as these men
ials Of the law have got to have
pocket change. We do net wish to
lie understood as arraigning all OF
the magistrates and deputies, but
there are only a few that this ar
rangement lets out, develish few.
Often Negroes are arrested upon
trumped up charges, shackled to,
gether like dogs, marched through
the streets to the magistrates office
and then let loose when the cost" is
paid.
The language used by these guard
ions Of the peace t?) would shock
tie lowest denizen Of the vilest re.
sort in Nashville, We need the pro-
lection that the Lechleiter bill will
give. We need upright court officials
Who would Scorn to prow around
our back wards. We need officials
who would not stoop to manufacture
evidence i'll order to convict some
poor Negro just for the Costs" We
Iced men in office with the fear of
God in their hearts, and the love OF
mankind in their breast. Men are
needed who have Il conscience, We
don't need these halfbaked, unedu
Gated officials who know 10 religion
except his bludgeon and pistol. BY
all means, let the legislature pas
the bill, and then decent treatment
VIII be accorded those who will have

Pass the bill, and remove the un
lest and fear that is So prevalent In

classes.
