SIGNS OF LIFE.

The Jewish nation is now a reality.
There are many signs showing that 1t
is really alive. Since the British Dec
laration, nearly every government has
declared it's approval of Jewish nation.
But the Jews too have begun practical
work They are aiming to get a million
dollars as a Restoration Fund with
which to build up the land, of which
about 100000 has already been col
lected. And to show that they are in
terested in the Hebrew culture of the
present and the past, thousands OF Jews
are studying the Hebrew language. In
many Jewish homes, the small children
are taught only Hebrew as their mother
tongue. In a certain eastern university,
a number of students have organized
in a group for the purpose of studying
the Palestinian- SOIL "A short time ago
an engineers unit was organized which
will leave for Palestine in the very near
future Not only that but many work
men have shown their faith in the
Jewish nation by buying shares in land
of Palestine, expecting to farm it as
soon as the war is over.
Besides these signs of life, there are
two movements of peculiar significance.
Jewish young men of fighting age, have
declared that they want to fight under
a Jewish flag in this present war, and
as result, thousands of Jewish boys
are marching under the cplors of the
Jewish Battalion and training for serv-
ice in Palestine. AS in every other
movement, the women too have offered
their services A Red Shield is being
organized which is to do the same work
in Palestine that the Red Cross is doing
in France.
Surely all these movements are signs
of life. In times past the Jewish nation
was pictured as field of lifeless bones,
or as an old feeble man. Now the Jew
ish nation can be pictured as a green
field of grain in the Springtime, or as
a youth full of hope, energy, and am
btion. ...- @

o little bird, you fly so far,
Your homes are far apart,
And don't you know where l would go
If l could follow my heart?
o little star, you shine so far,
Both here and there you shine,
And l, like you, have twin homes too,
And ones in Palestine.

THE EMPEROR AND THE PLANTER.

The Emperor Hadrian passing through
the street of Tiberias, noticed very
old man planting fig tree, and pausing,
said to him:
Wherefore plant that tree? If thou
didst labor in thy youth thou shouldst
now have a store for thy old age, and
surely of the fruit of this tree thou
canst not hope to eat"
The old man answered.:
'In my youth 1 worked, and I still
work With Gods good pleasure l may
cen partake of the fruit of this tree
plant / am in His hands"
"Tell me thy age" said the Emperor.
81 have lived for a hundred years."
"A hundred years old, and still expect
to eat from the fruit of this tree?"
eff such be Gods pleasure" replied
the old man; eff not, l will leave it for
my son, as my father left the fruit of
his labor for me-
WELL" said the Emperor, IF thou
dost live until the figs from this tree
are ripe, pray thee let me know of it"
The aged man lived to partake of that
very fruit, and remembering the En-
peror's words, he resolved to visit him.
So, taking small basket, he filled it
with the choicest figs from the tree, and
proceeded on his errand Telling the
palace guard his purpose, he was admit
ted to the sovereign's presence.
"Wel," said the Emperor, what is
thy wish?"
"Lo, am the old man to whom thou
didst say, on the day thou sawest MIN
planting fig tree, If thou Invest to eat
of it's fruit, I pray thee let me know
and behold, 1 have come and brought
thee of the fruit, that you mayest par
take of it likewise"
The Emperor was very much pleased,
and emptying the mans basket of it's
figs, he ordered it to be filled with gold
coins.
When the old man had departed, the
courtiers said to the Emperor
"Why' didst thou SO honor this old
Jew" 49,
"The Lord hath honored him, and why
not II" replied the Emperor.
Now, next door to this old man there
lived woman, who, when she heard
of her neighbor's good fortune, desired
her husband to try his luck in the same
quarter She filled for him an immense
basket of figs, and bidding him put it
on his shoulder, said "Now carry it
to the Emperor; he loves figs and will
fill thy basket with golden COIN"
When her husband approached the
gates of the palace, he told his errand
to the guards, saying: u brought these
l pray, and fill it up with gold"
When this was told to the Emperor,
he ordered the old man to stand in the
hallway of the palace, and all who
passed pelted him with his figs. He
returned home, wounded and crestfallen
to his disappointed wife.
Never mind, thou hast one consola-
tion," said she; had they been cocoa

AT TER-WAR POLICY
London Chamber of Com
merce Would Have Recon-
structiOn Board Created
TO HELP UNITE
TWO COUNTRIES
Great Britain Needed on Variety of
Matters, It is Claimed-Discord
Would Suit Germany.


LONDON, Oct 81 Correspondence of
The Associated Press business men of
the United States are urged by the di-
rectors of the American Chamber of Com
merce in London to endeavor to induce
the United States congress promptly to
create an American reconstruction com
mission TO deal with the economic rela
tions between America and Great Brit
ain. This proposed commission, asserts
the statement issued by the directors of
the American Chamber of Commerce here.
men of sound experience and judgment in
matters of foreign policy and trade and
should have authority to proceed to act
at once with similar bodies of Great Brit
ain and other countries at war with the
central powers.
The time has come for the business
communities of the United States to pre-
pare TO formulate an after-war policy,
says the statement. The American Cham
Der is prompted TO make their recommen-
dation because it believes the establish
ment of friendly trade relations between
English-speaking peoples and the re-
moval OF all business distrust and suspi-
cion are essential III a successful and per
manent league OF nations.
! The chamber also points out that the
restrictions which have been imposed
upon Americas trade with Great Britain
"have led to the belief in one country that
they directly benefit the other" This
situation, the chamber says, inevitably
raises the issue with Great Britain.
l"Nothing,' it adds, would suit Germany
better than to breed discord out of them.
Nothing this chamber believes is more
| important to the future of the world
| than good -natured adjustment of these
issues between the English speaking peo-
pies"
IL is none too soon, SAYS the chamber,
for the United States and its allies to
agree upon a plan for the equitable dis
position of all raw material so as 10
reconstitute the stocks depleted by the
wastage OF war and by the criminal folly
OF German submarines.
Another matter urgently calling for
Joint action is that of dual income tax
assessment" SAYS the American Cham
ber's statement. Not only does the pres
ent situation work unjustitied hardship
on individuals of both nationalities, but
it also practically prohibits the employ
ment of the capital of one country in
the enterprises of the other, and is thus
a strong deterrent to all cooperation be-
tween them in the work of reconstruc-
ton"
One of the first purposes to be aimed
at in the proposed after-war trade re.
|, construction should be the restoration OF
private initiative and business, says the
American Chamber. The chamber, how
ever, realizes that government contro
over virtually every form of activity can
, not be relaxed Immediately upon the END
. of the war. but it asserts that the re
yiyal of private enterprises is of suprem,
Importance to the future.
