SCROLLS OF MOSES LAW
REAPPEAR IN JERUSALEM
Sacred Parchments, Guarded From
Turks, Placed in synagogues
With Ceremonies.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
JERUSALEM, June 28.-Restoration
of the parchment scrolls of the law
to the various synagogues in Tel Aviv
and Jaffa was one of the interesting
ceremonies which followed the British
occupation.
These scrolls of the law of Moses,
which are all written by hand and are
preserved in magnif1cently ornament
ed cases. some of them in solid silver
are the most sacred and holy possess
sions of every Jewish community So
when Djemal Pasha, in his hostility
to tht zionists. carried out the ty-
rannical evacuation of the bulk Of the
Jewish population of Jaffa in April,
1917, the Jews carried with them these
sacred Torah into exile, lest they
should fall into the hands of the
Turks.
These sacred scrolls had been care
fully guarded by the Jews at Petach
Tikvah (Mulebbis) and were brought
back in solemn procession to Jaffa. A
triumphal arch was erected at the
northern confines of Tel Aviv. every
house was decorated with flowers and
bunting and the whole of the Jewish
population turned out en- fete to meet
the return of their sacred possessions.
Jews came not merely from Jaffa. lbut
also from Richon-le-Ziona and the other
lneighboring colonies.
Girls Guard Pathway.
The young men and the girls of the
Maccabee Athletic Association dressed
in white clothes. with blue sashes and
ties maintained order and kept a
pathway clear for the procession
through the crowds. The procession
was headed by the Australian Military
Band and the ceremony at the tri-
umphal arch was attended by officers
representing the military governor
and by DR.. Weizmann and the mem
bers and officers of the zionist COM
mission.
The haham bashi (chief rabbi) of
Janfa mounted a small dais near the
triumphal arch and delivered an elo-
quent Hebrew address, in which he
recounted the hardships of the. evac-
uation. He thanked and invoked

VALUE OF MONEY.

That three great public works
should have been constructed In this
country during the Civil War which
ranks as one of the most exhaustive
and expensive wars in history, is
proof conclusive that economic pros
perity need be In no serious danger
In the present war. The three great
works we're the building Of the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific Rail
roads and the laying Of the Atlantic
cable. The telegraph was developed
as a military necessity during the
war and came into general use.
The United States Is now rich IN
money. As things stand. her cin-
Gems can well afford to- more than
subscribe the full amount Of the new
Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan. ana
from the economic standpoint. DO II
as a safe and sane personal invest
ment As the bonds can be bought
on the 81 a week instalment basis
every citizen can have a share IN this
prosperity to an extent never before
offered to the American people. Saw
ings thus invested bring good yearly
interest and furnish a capital that
will be of higher purchasing value
when the bonds come due than the
same amount of money is today.

Charles 8. Hiehborn Of Augusta, the
director for Nainssol the United States
FEmployment Seryice, has received the
following communlcatiou from Nathan
A. Smyth, the assistant director general
Of tho department ct Washington IN re-
gard to the numbering situation In this
state:
The Maine woods must be Immediate
" supplied with &C, 000. men In order to
out the billion and half feet Of lumber
required this year from that State for
imperitive war necessities. APPROX
mately, 800, 000, 900 feet must be ont to
supply lumber requirements and 700,-
000, 900 feet must be cut to supply pulp
requirements.
Unless men are furnished tho woods
ct once, the various logging camps can
not open, ~ Ut present only . few.
thousand men, scattered over . wide
territory. are available from the usual
labor supply.
Unless the men are supplied and this
timber IL out lumber shortage will bring
production Of certain war Necessities, IL
most to standstill.
The lumber which must como from
Maine IL required for sirplanes, required
both BY this country and the allies; for
the construction, of cantonments for the
army; for ties and bridge timber for
army engineers In France and for the
railroad administration; for materials
for yards and docks for the Navy; for
ships and shipyards for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation and the Shipping
Board; for housing for workers, and for
boxes for the shipment Of shells and
munitions. "a we'll a. for millions Of
spools required for the furnishing OF
thread to uniform manufacturers
throughout the country.
In the pulp industry, the Orono Pulp
q Paper Company, for example,, must
be kept supplied with its peculiar type
OF paper pulp as the pulp is used entire
" for the lining OF shells and cartridges.
This company Is the only company In
America which produces pulp for she'll
Innings. Previous TO the war the pulp
for this particular purpose was import
cd from Germany, but ct present tho
supply comes entirely from Maine. For
this reason. failure In this paper pulp
supply is direct failure to support our
artillery In France.
The q. S. Employment Service has a.
ready issued complete instructions
covering the release by non-esseDtial In
dustries of men required for war work,
and Maine must itself supply . large
majority OF the labor required In It's
own woods, even II every non.essential
industry In the State Is forced to shut
down.
Lumbermen cannot be dram fromw
the Michigan and Pacific Coast woods
a. the demands In these territories are
equally as great; consequently, We must
look to the people for the State OF Maine
to take effective action to solve their
own labor problems.
Lumber is Names industrial contri-
button to winning the war.
The State of Maine must turn to -
one man and see that their contribution
is fully made.
You should at once start q campaign
to arouse the people Of your state to .
realization OF the situation. There are
able. bodied men In Maine now working
at jobs which might be postponed or
done by women; men who could and
should be working In the woods. An
aroused public sentiment will set these
men at work where the country needs
them.
