CHANGED TO TEARS OF JOY
Jews Need No Longer Weep Bitter
ness at the Wall of WaiIing
in Jerusalem.

Strange sights must have been wit
messed within the last few days at
the wall OF Wailing in Jerusalem, the
place of lamentation where for gen.
erations Jews have congregated to be-
wall the sorrows of their race.
Tears of joy that Jerusalem is at
last freed from the Mohammedan
clutch must have fallen upon stones
that have been so often wet with tears
of grief.
Many visitors from America have
threaded their way through dark and
dirty alleys to the small paved area
where the Jews of Jerusalem have la
mented their heritage. The wall is
said to be the ancient retaining wall
of Solomon's temple, the nearest place
to the Holy of Holes that the Moham-
MADAM masters allowed the Jews to
approach.
Here every day, and especially on
Fridays. the mourners leaned against
the great stones of the wall, Wept
and chanted their litanies. Their Sim
certify was unquestionable. The stones
were literally wet with tears and there
was no installing the sorrow that
shook their voices as they repeated the
seyenty-ninth psalm, with its somber
opening.

have they defled; they have laid Je-
rusalem in heaps. Boston Post.

According to Mr.. McAdoo. one Of
the great tasks confronting the
American people, Is that of improving
and making thoroughly efficient their
railroad transportation system.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, ex-
planning the drastic fuel order. says !;

to send to the American forces abroad
and to the allies the food and war
supplies which they vitality need, War

Manufacturers in the % states east
of the Mississippi river have virtually
suspended in obedience to the govern
ments order forbidding the use Of
fuel, Millions of person were made idle
as result of the order
The new order in the coal situation
was decided upon hurriedly by the
president and government heads as a
desperate remedy for the fuel crisis
and the transportation tangle in the
Eastern states.
Inclusion of war industries among
those to which fuel will be denied
caused some surprise, but fuel Off
Gals explained that war plants have

While the government order for
business suspension does not mention
ship yards, it is known that they will
be permitted to continue operations as
usual, although munitions plants will
be closed.
While even munitions plants are not
excepted from the closing down order,

whose interest it was drawn is pre-

Senator McCumber Of North Dakota
gave the senate a very gloomy picture
Of the position of the United States
and her allies in emphasizing his plea
for radical speeding up of the ship
building program
According to Senator McCumber of
North Dakota, the United States must
send 100000 soldiers to balance the
manpower Of the central powers, and
100000 would be needed to make
the Germans retreat.
According to Director General Nc
Adoo, all state railway laws and regu-
lations will remain in full effect under
government operation of the railroads.
The recent ruling of Director Gener-
al McAdoo in the railroad situation,
disposes of the contention that under
government operations the railroads
were not subject to either intrastate
rates or other state. regulations.

There is considerable speculation as
to just what the war department pro-
poses doing with Camp Wheeler, a
number of moves indicating that some
thing is on foot that bids well for the
future of the big camp at Holly Bluff.
Recently 1900 additional acres of
land between the camp and the re-
mount station were condemned and
taken into the reservation, This is
understood to have been leased for the
purpose of charging the camp by
thinning out the number of men to. the

utilized for additional tents as well
as a portion of the 1900 acres just
added and new drill ground con-

necessary to build new bridge

Seizure Of Coal Plan Is Protested
Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey is in receipt
of protests from j. L. Jessup, fuel
committeeman of Macon, and from
other points, against the seizure of
coal in Atlanta, consigned to other
Georgia cities.
These protests have evidently grown
out of misconstruction of advice given
by the governor several days ago as
to the use of coal delayed in transit
for relief of distresses local to points
where the coal might happen to be
delayed.
Governor Dorsey stated that it was
not his original proposition nor has it
ever been his idea that coal destined
for the relief of suffering anywhere
should be confiscated, except coal con-
signed for manufacturing or industrial
purposes, but which might be delayed
and be without prospect of immedi-
ate delivery.
