UNION JACK OVER
HONEST COLONIES

General Allenby's successful dash
along the Palestinian coastal front,
which has extended the British line
from GAIA to Jaffa, has placed the
Union Jack over the most thickly
populated colonies in the Holy Land
established under the auspices Of the
Zionist organization. The names of
these colonies are Ruchama, Ben
Schemen, Rischon-le-Zion, Wadi-el-
Chanin, Rechoboth, Ekron, Hulda,
Gederah, Artuf, Kastinia.
Dispatches state that the villages
along the line of the British march
are unframed, but are silent as to
the fate of the Inhabitants.
The Provisional Zionist Committee
is making efforts to obtain definite in
formation concerning the colonists. At
the time of the forcible evacuation of
the Jewish population of Jaffa, last
April Djema1 Pasha, then military
governor of Palestine, is alleged to
have stated to an American official,
who protested against what he re-
garded as a 'wanton outrage" that
he knew the Jewish colonists were
awaiting the British army with great
eagerness, and that he did not pro-
pose to permit "the bride to welcome
her bridegroom
Previous advices received by the
Provisional Zionist Committee were to
the effect that the Turkish plan was
to move all the colonists northward
as the English forces fought their
way along the Mediterranean coast,
but is is hoping that the retreat was
too precipitate to permit of this plans
fulfillment.

WHITE SATIN AND
HOW YOU MAY
UTILIZE IT

Nowadays when every woman tries
to use up all available materials she
has on hand as one of the most help
full means of conserving new mater
ials we often come across uncut fab
ric that we had forgotten we possess
ed. Lucky is the woman who in delv-
ing through her piece box or the
trunk where she keeps bits Of one
sort of fabric OF another comes upon
a few yards of white satin. Almost
every woman who was married in
white satin has somewhere in her
possession a little of the material of
the wedding dress that was saved for
future use. Perhaps you are suffi-
.ciently lacking in sentimental feeling
toward that white bride dress-which
you cannot possibly wear again-to
contribute the train or some other
portion of 1t to the good cause Of fur
nishing you with some very nice ac-
cessories at a small price.
OF course, that sort of white satin
is not technically wash satin and yet
if it is of a good quality it will wash
with as much satisfaction as the usual
sort of wash satin. Needless to say
any satin must be washed with ex-
IRENE care and ironed as carefully.
A1LIOuSIl Tic shape Oh the O6LaCn-
able collars for blouses has changed
somewhat since last winter and last
SUMMER those of white satin are still
in high vogue. The new ones are for
the most part longer in the front or
else, entirely lacking in a front por-
ton, being intended only for the back
part of the collar. Those that just
meet in the front are not so usual.
The making of white satin blouse
collars is the simplest thing in the
world. Simply cut a pattern of the
collar from paper and then cut two
satin sections after this pttern. Lay
them face inward together and stitch
them around on the sewing machine.
Turn them right side out and the col
lar is ready to be pressed.
If you have an old chiffon waist or
one Of georgette crepe you will be
able to work complete transforma-
ton by making nice collar of this
sort for 1t and then adding a pair of
cuffs. The cuffs are extremely sim
pie. They should be cut in the desir-
ed size, allowing for a tapping of an
inch at the side. Four pieces should
be cut-two for each cuff. These
should be sewed up as the collar was
leaving one end space for the turn
ing. This should be sewed up when
the cuffs have been turned rtght-side
out and then they should be pressed.

WAR DEPARTMENT
CONSIDERS CONTROL
OF RELIEF BENEFITS

Washington, Nov. 23-The miscon-
duct of war relief benefits in New
York and elseNhere has reached such
proportions that War and Navy De-
partment officials are seriously con-
sidering plans to exercise supervision
over them Reports are coming in
from many sources that individuals
are taking advantage of patriotic fer
vor to get up fairs, bazaars and bene-
fits, ostensibIy for the aid of Amer
lean soldiers and sailors. but in real
ity for the aid of their own private
purses.
Secretary Daniels admitted last
night he had in consideration a plan
to make sure such affairs as that of
the recent Army and Navy bazaar in
New York should not occur again.
Every dollar given by the public
for the benefit of the soldiers and
Sailors" he said, should get to the
soldiers and sailors. I would not put
an obstacle in the way of individual
efforts in their behalf, but efforts
should be directed in the proper chan
nels. There must be some sort of su-
pervision to prevent irresponsible per-
sons from trading on the patriotism
of the American people"
Mr.. Daniels would not divulge the
nature of his plan. Secretary Baker
also is understood to have the matter
in consideration. Whatever action is
taken will be done by mutual agree
ment between the head of the War
and Navy department.

WAR PROHIBITION IS
Up TO PRESIDENT
Congress VIII Take No Ac-
ton Unless President In
Sists On It
By Robert ]. Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, April 20. - Whether
"war prohibition is to be an cmer-
gency measure of the present congress
will be determined shortly.
President Wilson and his cabinet to-
day planned to take up recommended
.tions of Secretary Houston for legis-
lation covering the entire problem of
food, its conservation and distribution.
1t is expected that Houston s sug-
geStions will be laid before congress
next week-and simultaneously the gov
ernment 5 intentions toward "war pro-
hibitionh may be divulged, The pro
hibition question, officials now realize
fully is too closely connected with food
problem to be considered alone.
The question is now directly up TO
President Wilson and his cabinet Con-
gress, anxious to get away, doesn t
want to do anything it doesn t have to
do, which might delay its departure
1t has therefore decided not to con
slider prohibition or anything at this
session unless President Wilson specif-
ically asks for it as war emergency leg
islation
An abrupt rise in Washington tenn
perature has entirely changed the dis
position of some members of congress,
who few weeks ago thought it should
remain in session throughout the war,
though there are still many who viii
fight adjournment TO the end. How
ever, according to all signs today, it $
going to have to pass on the prohibi-
tion question before it goes. The Coun-
s,F *
ously considering the question as part
of the food conservation problem for
some time
IL is probable congress will be ask
ed to authorize the government to take
any action deemed necessary in handl-
ing food, conservation and distribution
during the crisis-and this would in,
elude power to shut off the supply Of
grain and other foodstuffs to distiller-
les and brcweries

certain places for emergency was asked
Of farmers organizations
Regarding increasing OF production
through maximum efficiency, Houston
said:
"The time of special stress will be
during the harvest season and every
step should be taken by state and fed
eral agencies to furnish relief when it
is needed
"In the south the existing labor sup
ply can be more fully utilized through
increased agricultural diversification.
" At present the south $ agriculture
is based largely on the two-cFop sys-
tcm-cotton and corn. It has been esti-
mated that in some sections, because of
too exclusive reliance on the two crop
system, the labor of man and animals is
utilized only so or 90 per cent of the
time
''If divcrsification were more gen
orally practiccd this labor would be
more effectively and economically APP
piled. 1t is stated that there are more
than two million boys between the ages
of l5 and 10 years in cities and towns
not now engaged in productive work
vital to the nation in the present emerg-
cncy. Many of these boys have had no
contact with rural life aud know moth
ing about farming operations. This CON
stitutes the most important morganized
and unutilized labor resources avail
