New York-In the opinion of Dr.
John ii. Finley. state commissioner OF
education. who has just returned from

Red Cross Commissioner. Palestine at
this time should not be given over
t. any one nation, race or creed. Ii
is his belief that for the present il
should be held in joint trustceship by
tho nations.
This arrangement. he believes. should
he in effect until such time as the
country becomes self supporting and
the population agrees upon the form
of government it wishes. The nations,
should then withdraw DIR. Finley
maintains. and permit the population
to develop that government.

view is also held by DIR. Chain Weiz-

that the Jewish colonies were flour

the only people who could win living
from the soil of Palestine.

for General Allcnby and his accom-.

The arrival of General tilenby's
troops in Galilec set the Jewish COM
munities an that section of Palestine

received by the Zionist Organization of
America the Inhabitants of the Gnlilean
colonies are even now unable to believe
the evidence of their own eyes. The
liberation came so suddenly, the Turk

were prompted to quote Deborahs song
of old. ''rhey fought from heaven. the
stars in their course fought against
Sisera the river of KishOn swept them
away"
People who have arrived in Jerusalem
from Galilce say that the scenes that
took place when the first British trOODS
arrived were indescribable. Soldiers
were carried shoulder high; people en-
braced one another and wept tor joy.
In Jerusalem also. the excitement was
tremendous and eliminated in a mon
stcr demonstration. Banners were rnis-

In the midst of this rejoicing came
news of a cholera epidemic which had
broken out Mt Tiberias. Word was re-
ceiyed that the British authorities had
auarantined the town and opened hos
pitals for the cholera patients. The doc

ist Medical Unit were rushed to the
scene at once Tibe.ias is the only
place that seems to have suffered so
severely. At Saffcd there Is no cpl

who were evacuated by the Turks are
awaiting repatriation. DIR. Elder and

RECONSTRUCTION AND THE so.
CIAL WORKER.
The Opportunity for After War Work.

Now the peculiar bearing between
the interests of the Jewish Social
Worker and the Zionist program and
the other points you have been good
enough to consider with me. rests on
the fact that the Social Workers are
tween large masses of people and uie
employing classes. They dispense the
charity that the employer seeks to
give. 1t is very easy for the Social
Worker. as for the teacher, to fall into
a certain spccialistic mental attitude
and in view of the conditions and pur-
poses of the War nothing. broadly
speaking. could be more dislOyal to the
vision Of humanity, which we who
love democracy led by Woodrow Will
son. are trying to make the goal of
this war. than to maintain merely the
specialists attitude. Yet the main
tcnance of the specialistic attitude fol-
lows almost inevitably from the kind
of training the Social Worker gets. and
from the peculiar relation that he
bears to the people who provide the
money with which he does his work
The liberation of the Social Worker
from the control of the financing di-
rcctorate is the primary requirement
for the new period of reconstruction
1t is not merely the Social Worker who
is in need of that liberation. The
teacher even more than the Social
Workers netes this liberation. Oui
whole system of education snd ON
whole system of the administration or
charity involve us in vicious circle
in which all the work that is done
instead of being redirective and re-
creative consists in the elimination Of
symptoms. In universities, for eN,
ample, the control of interests alto
gether external to the educational puri
pose and the educational need has be,
come tremendously notorious. 1t is in
tended now: to establish in, New York
City new College of Political and
Social Science in which that external
control shall he completely eliminated
1t is intended that the teachers of So
cial Science shall be no more attached
TO vested interests than physicians arc
attached or controlled by vested inter
ests. Even more so must it becomt
the program for Social Workers. Tht
real business of the Social Worker is
of course, to abolish himself. He musl
be converted from Social Worker i'll
to a Social Consultant And the diff,
ference between the Worker and ;ht
Consultant lies essentially in the fact
that the Worker is constantly tinker
ing at II job which never gets finished
and the Consultant is called in to cor
rect n job which has accidentally gone
wrong. This conversion requires first
of all, independence on the part of tht
social worker group; secondly, an en-
tirely different program of education
of the social worker from that which
at present obtains. Jewish social work
ers particularly need n complete fun
damental and secular education i'll tho
history, the social history. of the jew
ish people. Thirdly, there must he an
actual offensive and defensive alliance
with these new great movements max
ing for construction tint have come
out of the War. This will make you
as potent as you can be if you wan!

Eastern Galicia which is to be attach
ed to Poland, are very much excited
over a report that Baron Husserak.
Austrian Premier, in replying to a
dcputation of Reichsrath members.
which asked him what was to be the
fate of these Jews. said that theil
problem would probably be solved by
the establishment of Jewish home
land in Palestine. The Jews of Ga
licia regard this as an intimation that
their immigration is desired by the
government Baron Husserak's state
ment is believed to he due to his re-
sentiment over the fact that the Zion
lists of Austria as well as the Zion
lists of Germany had the courage pub
licly to express their joy over the
declaration of the British Foreign Sec
retary and his government, favorine
the establishment of Jewish home
land in Palestine. The Zionists of the
Central Powers refused to accept the
governmentally- inspired statements
that the British declaration was q

Wake, Israel. wake recall today
The glorious Macfabean rage.
The Sire heroic, hoary-gray.
His fivc.fold lion-lIneage:
The Wise. the Eject the Help-of- God.
The Burst-of Spring. the Avenging
Rod.
From MiZpah's mOuntain-side they saw
Jcrusalcm's empty streets. her shrine
Laid waste where Greeks profancd the
law.
With idol and with pagan sign.
Mourncrs in tattcrcd blacl; were there.
With ashes sprinkled on their hair.
Then from the stony peak there rang
A blast to ope the graves: down
poured
The Naccabcan clan. who sang
Their battlc-anthem 10 the Lord.
Five hcr6cs lead. and following. sec.
Ton thousand rush to victory
Oh, for JeruSalem's trumpet now.
To blow blast of shattcring power,
TO wake the slecpers high and low,
And rouse them to the urgent hour
No band for vcngeame-but to save.
\ million naked swords should wave.
Oh, deem not dead that martial fire.
Say not the mystic flame is spent
With Moses law and David's Tyre.
Your ancient strength remains un-
bent.
Let but an Ezra rise anew.
TO lift the Banner Of the Jew!
A rag. a mock at first-cre long.
When men have bled and women
wcpt,
To guard its precious folds from
wrong,
Even they who shrunk. even they
who slept,
Shall leap to bless II and to save.

May Is was buried in accordance with
his own request, sat Lexington. in the
Valley of Virginia" He passed from
US in the white flower of his manhood,
being only 50 on the 21st of January,
preceding the coming of the end. Like
his great prototype, Gustavus Adolf
plus, he met his fate in the hour of
supreme victory, and at almost the
precise age of his heroic and gifted
forerunner, the real creator of war in
its modern form. and scientific charac-

His military career embraces q
period of hardly more than fourteen
months. or from March, 1862, to May

CHlNAMAN SAYS mo HEATIE."

The gas furnished consumers IN
Alexandria at present is causing great
inconvenience. Many consumers are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF pro-
curing oil stoves for use during the
coming summer. The flames emitted
at present are sickly, and liable: to
ego out" at any time, making cooking
unsatisfactory, if. not impossible at
times.
The Mongolians who conduct iaun-
dries in Alexandria are hard hit by
prevailing conditions, and people who
depend upon this class of people Tor
clean shirts and collars found them
selves in a dilemma Saturday night
when they called for such articles.
The orientals, whose stock of Eng
lish is limited, made stereotyped re-
plies to each disappointed customer
"No heatie"-that is, the supply OF
ras is not sufficient for our work.
While the entire community is SUI
fering from the quality Of gas now
furnished, we must not be understood
as criticising the officials of the gas
department. They say it is Impossible
for them to secure coal which will pro-
duce satisfactory gas and are doing
the best they can under the circum-
stances.
Since the United States was forced
to enter the terrible maelstrom OF war
most of the articles of daily consump-
ton have steadily deteriorated in
quality. The increasing demand for
coal has advanced prices, and mines
which formerly supplied the gas
works of this city cannot fill orders
at present.

PRESIDENT Is MERCIFUL

The President never had any idea,
we venture to say, of allowing those
two young American soldiers to be
shot for going to sleep on their posts
in France. They are mere boys, 10
and 20 years old, and to have inflicted
the death penalty on them for the
failure to realize their responsibility
would have been far too severe a
punishment in the circumstances. Fe
kept them in suspense long enough to
prevent them from going to sleep
again on duty. As an exchange says,
you can bet these two young chaps
will be among the most wide-awake
in the army during the remainder of
the war. The other two whose sent
ences were committed to three years
Imprisonment cannot be very happy.
They had disobeyed orders and could
not be pardoned absolutely. They
have gotten off rather lightly. but
their sentence shuts them out Of the
land of glory, from all opportunity of
participating in the great things for
which they volunteered. To come
back in disgrace is worse than dying
on the field of battle.

ENCOURAGING PROSPECT

All official and unofficial reports that
have reached Washington indicate that
the country's food crisis has been
passed; that this years production Will
far exceed that of 1917, and that II
there is sufficient labor to save the
crops now in the ground all previous
records may be broken.
This is reassuring, not only to the
American people, who have always
provisioned themselves, but to the al
lies of Europe, who are still looking
to the United States to ration them,
and who will depend more and more
upon this country for sustentation.
For the past six weeks-that IS
since the beginning of the. great Ger
man drive-the attention of most Off
Gals of the Government has been fixed
upon the military phases of the sltua'
ton. The Presidents order rushing
greater bodies of men to Europe has
overshadowed all other concerns IN
Washington and has taken more and
more of the tonnage which hitherto
was employed in the transportation OF
foodstuffs to the allied peoples.
Officials have been studying agrl-
cultuyal reports with almost feVerls n
anxiety.
These reports are now sufficiently
conclusive to show that the future IS
decidedly promising. First OF all, theS
Indicate that the wheat crop VIII lar
exceed that of last year, If weather
conditions from this time forward are
reasonably favorable. 1t is little
early to figure definitely upon the corn
crop, but the acreage so far planted
is about as great as that on May !
1917. The situation with regard to
other staples is about as good as that
regarding corn.

HORSE STEAK Is CENTS.

This Price Is For Porterhouse Less
Than Half Paid for Beef Steak
New York, May 6.-The advantages
Of horse flesh as food are set'forth
in bulletin issued by the department
of health, written by DR.. Leo Price,
the department veterinarian. whose
duty it is to see that New Workers
who desire this form of food are sup
piled with it in sound and wholesome
condition.
Prior to 1916, if any horse meat
was eaten in New York city it was
in the guise of "beef" aid sale of 1t
was prohibited by a board of health
ordinance. But soon after the war
began the constantly increasing price
Of beef brought a demand for horses
meat from foreigners, who had been
accustomed to its use in their native
land. Accordingly, on Jan. !, 1910
the board legalized the sale of horse
meat and at the same time announced
that there was no objection to its use
as food.
It was nearly three months before
the first dealer had the courage to
open & horse meat shop, for under
the department rulings horse meat
and other meats may not be sold IN
the same store. Less than one horse
was sold the first week, but since that
time the business has been constantly
growing.
There; are now five horse meai
shops in Manhattan and four II
Brooklyn, each Of which reports con-
stantly increasing sales. Horses fol
food purposes are. now being slaugh'
tered at the rate of twenty-five
week, and an abattoir in Brooklyn de-
voted exclusively to the killing OF
these animals has been established
The work is done under rigid depart
ment supervision.
AS in the case of other foods, in
creased popularity has been followed
by higher prices. A recent boost OF
two cents sent the price Of horse
porterhouse steak up to sixteen cents
a pound-a little less than half what
a beef steak costs.
