Are we wholly wanting in political sa-

We have no code. no established fight

such an act. Washington doubts that

months could have predicted that it
would trust to luck, hope and pray that
big words might make big deeds un-

In taking his time as long as this spirit,

probable events occurs, II is necessary
that American ships on peaceful errandL

Germany takes that protection as an

JEWS READY TO QUIT
HOLY CITY ON TURK ORDER

COPENHAGEN, via London, May 81
According to information received in
Zionist circles from Palestine, the Turks
have twice given orders for the evacu-
alton of the Jews from Jerusalem. but
the orders each time were suspended
owing to representations from the
German government, which feared for
the safety of the shrines and other holy
places, and, still more, the effect upon
the worlds public opinion. The order
of expulsion, however. is still hanging
over the heads of the residents of
Jerusalem, and the consuIates and pub
lie institutions have their belongings
packed and their affairs in order SO
as to leave should the Turkish COM
mander, Djemal Pasha, enforce it as a
general measure.
The expulsion of the Jews from
Jaffa, according to the same source of
information. was due to the chicaneries
of the Turkish officials, who, when the
Jews in Galilee sent horses and carts
to aid their co-religionists in their
exodus, requisitioned all the horses
and then provided for their transporta-
ton yernin infested railroad coaches,
which caused an immediate outbreak of
spotted typhus among the wanderers.
The Jewish colonists were permitted
to remain, owing to urgent representa-
ton of German officers, who pointed out
that the provisioning of the Syrian
army would be affected if the Jewish
farmers were expelled.
