THE TAKING OF JERUSALEM
Arouses New Hope for Jewish King
dom Under Christian Rule.

For the world the fall of Jerusalem
was an event of great sentimental I'm
portsDce. even though it was practical
ly without military meaning.
The res cue of the city from Moslem
hands VI as celebrated alike by Jew and
Christian, for the Jews it was cele-
brated as the guarantee OF the erection
Of a Jewish state under British pro-
lection, which would renew the great
Hebrew tradition.
On the military side the British sue
cess was important only as the cam-

manu o. FalkeEhayn, Turkish army

take Baguad. A threat to Syria and
an immediate meLance to the nj ecca
railroad might C ncelvably lead the
Turks to insist upon detaching troops
frenl the BaRdad army for use against
Allenby IN defending their threatened
deminions.
At all events the British are compel
led to keep troops IN the Near East to
defend Egypt, and a defense of Egypt
would be as easy in Palestine as at the
bank of the Suez Canal. while the
moral effect Of depriving the Turk OF
Jerusalem, as he has already been de-
prived of Bagdad by the British and
Of Mecca by the Arabs. must be con-
siderable.

THE COLLEGES AS TRAINING CAMPS

TNHE plan for organizing college students
= into army training corps, adopted in
June, is not likely to be seriously affected
by the new draft bill reducing the age
to eighteen years. The plan was made
by the same men who have advised the
reduction in the age. and It may be as.
sumed to be part of the general program
TO provide trained men for the various
branches OF the service
The students, eighteen years old and
under twenty-one, are to be enlisted in the
corps and are thereby to become essential
units in the American army. subject to
orders when they are needed. But they are
to continue their studies in college and are
to be kept in college as long as possible
in order that the supply of men trained
in engineering, chemistry and medicine
may not be exhausted.
The college student. therefore, is subject
to a certain degree of exemption from
active fighting duty while he is prepar-
ling himself to serve his country. The

WHY ARE BRASS KNUCKLEs TAXED?

luxury by others. 1t depends on the occu-

patience the explanation of the theory on
which the Ways and Means Committee
has decided to include in the new war
revenue bill a tax of 100 per cent on such

jewelry. are taxed at much lower rate.
But those who wear platinum do not ordi-

with those who wear brass knuckles.

Read This Before Dinner

Every now and then some one asks us
that for those who enjoy a little prose
with their poety, free verse is lovely.
Our favorite free-verse poem, after some
of Dove Dulcet's, is by Robert Carlton
Brown. and here it Is:
I know a nice, affectionate girl
Who goes about
Patting beefsteaks on the back
Running her fingers fondly through tho
boards of oysters,
Holding hands for hours with Dreaded veal
outlets,
Rubbing noses with pork chops
And having affairs with boiled onions.
Her emotional eyes light with amorous
interest
In the presence of food;
They fill with great glistening tears
When the plates are taken out
And she sits Respondent,
Weeping gently into her coffee.
The Germans are complaining that their
beer supply is scanty. Taking the vat out
of Vaterland?
II Lenine and Trotsky really believe in
self determination, achy don't they try 1t
in Russia?
And il the Russian people want a good
jury to try Lenine and Trotsky. why not
ship them over to West Chester?
