THE SITUATION IN WILMA.

Copenhagen (by ]. c. Accord
ing to several numbers of the Wilma
Jewish newspaper, --latest News"
that have just reached us, we can
see that the condition of the Jews
is frightful indeed. In one week
eighty-one persons fell i'll on the
streets of Wilma and there had to be
summoned for them the ambulances
of the Immediate Help" Another
news item joyfully relates in large
type that the Berlin Jewish Aid So
ciety sent to Wilma several train
loads of old and new clothes and
shoes to be sold at very low prices.
1t also mentions the desperate situa-
ton in which the Jewish instructors
of the local Hebrew schools find
themselves, having received no sal
airy for the past three months.
Wilma receives thirty-seven thou
sand marks per month for the war
sufferers. This sum was too insig
nificant even two years ago, and even
then it was estimated that the local
Jewish population would have to
contribute just as much for the war
sufferers, but since then the number
of Jewish wardistressed people in
creased, while the number of con-
tributors diminished, thus rendering
the situation more and more critical
every day.
A Jewish Technical Institute has
been lately established with depart
ments for electricity, chemistry, and
engineering. The school has build
ing of it's own and all necessary ap-
paratus. The technical institute
also provides a preparatory course
for those applicants who are not
yet fit to take THE ordinary courses
in the Institute n roper.
The city also feels the rigor of
German rule, asgis indicated by an

A JEWISH PALESTINE
WOULD BE FORTRESS
OF PEACE.

tic OF the Manchester Guardian
and author of "a History of the
War" writing in the New Republic"
of March End, Jerusalem and At
ter, ascribes great Importance to
the British campaign in Palestine
He analyses the opinions Of the two
schools of military thought in Eng
land about the operations in Pales-
tine, the one in favor of stopping
the operations and letting the Turks
attack if they will, and the other in
favor Of pushing on against the
Turks and conquering at least as
much of Palestine as would be
roughly equivalent to the "ancient
Jewish patrimony", and shows the
advantages of the latter plan since
another victory like that of GAIA
would lead to the complete break
up of Turkish rule south of the
Taurus and to a revolt of the Arabs,
and so convince the Turks of the
hopelessness of the struggle that
they would be willing to make
peace with us on a basis Of keeping
Constantinople and Asia Minor"
The author sees in the eastern
campaign way of winning of the
war, and this idea is gaining ad
herence every day in England. The
plan of pushing the campaign in
Palestine, he says, "is further sup
ported by the consideration that
such an ending of the war would
find the work of reconstruction in
the east we'll under way and would
give the Jews reasonably ample
estate for their new home. If this
ideal of restoration of the Jews to
Palestine is a great and worthy one
it should not be executed in min
iature and it deserves a wide and
dignified frame"
The writer is of the opinion that
restored Palestine in consonance
with the Ba1four Declaration will be
a potent force for peace. He says:
"The British campaign in Pale
slime has acquired fresh interest
since Mr.. Ba1four announced that
one Of England's objects was to es-
tablish national home there for
the Jewish people. AS mere appendix
to not particularly brilliant cam
paign for the defense Of Egypt or as
a supplement to the war in Mesopo-
tamia its interest was purel y military
Now it has taken its place as one of
the main political motives of the war.
Elsewhere our plans for the future
political happiness of the world in
general and of our Allies in particu-
lar have not yet had their foundations

INVESTIGATES COAL.

R. L. Taylor, general manager of the Grenada Cotton Oil Mills, of Memphis, made a personal investiga- tion this week of the manner in which the anthricate slack is being used in the municipal light plant at Conway. The system was explained to his satisfaction by the general manager of the plant, D. V. Leverett, who showed how it is possible to use the slack economically by providing special equipment at a comparati- vely small cost. The Grenada com pany operates a number of mills in Tennessee. and will probably recom- mend the equipment of the boilers with special grates and blowers to enable them to burn the anthracite slack With low freight rate and a. short haul. this is the cheapest fuel available. When the lakes were frog en last winter, Chicago plants ship ped in 9, car loads daily of the slack, from Arkansas mines, paying the long-haul freight charges. and found it very desirable coal.

BARNES CIRCUS HAS 1,2O0 EDUCATED BIG
 ANIMALS IN ACTS

The Al. G. Barnes Big Four Ring Wild Animal Circus will exhibit in Pine Bluff on Tuesday, eptember 17, giving performance at 0and 8 D. m.
 Much can be claimed for the origi- nality and genuine merit of this big circus. There is all the pomp and splendor of the circuses' we have known in the past. All the -glittering, tinsel, saWStlst rings, inspiring mu- sic and grand entrance of stately, horses, ponies, elephant, performers and clowns. Peanut and pink lemon ade vendors cry their wares and add to the general good spirit; yet, when the performance starts, one instant ly recognizes wide departure from the conventional, ste:optyped routine which has prevailed since the earli- est days of tented entertainment.
 Instead of the usual, one sees the very unusual in the Barnes program The principal acts are done by edu- cated wild and domestic animals in ltwIo rings and a !big steel-barred arena. These animal actors number 100 and are trained to an amazing degree of proficiency. Such vim and dash do they put into their work that not a dull moment is experi- enced from the grand cavalcade entry until the final group of maneating lions are driven to their cages.
 There are acrobats, jugglers, aeri- al performers, high divers, bareback riders and all other forms of circus entertainment; but instead of peo- pie appearing in the acts, wild and domestic animals take their places. Lions, leopards. pumas and bears ride galloping horses; sea lions lus- gle balls and other articles: dogs and monkeys jump from the top of the tent into nets; elephants acts as clowns and do many other comica, things; high school horses and beau tiful ponies apear in brilliant dances and military drills; in fact. almost every species of animal is shown as an actor.
 Thirty man-eating African lions are introduced in one act, the most sensational wild animal act ever shown. Sixty tigers, leOpards, pu- mas, jungars and bears are present ed by coteffe of young women train- CTS.
 A great array of clean, clever CO., medy permeates the entire program provided by fifty. comedy, elephants, dogs, goats, monkeys. ponies, zebus and Danger, sDynamite-amules. !
 A gliteering mile-long. parade, in which six bands take part, is pre- sented to the public at 1O.S0.
