of the regular draft law. All who join
the guard must sign statements de-
claring that if the guard be called for
federal service they will not ask for
exemption on the ground of depend

to be used, one form for men with
dependents and the other for those
without dependents. Those with de-
pendents must certify that if called for
service they will allot one half their
pay to their dependents. This does
not affect their status with draft

PUBLIC DISCUSSION
5000
9 ABOUT PALESTINE. q
. .
To The News scimitar

To The News Scimitar;
In the public discussion column of
n Of your recent issues Mr.. Savage
OF Jackson, Tenn, says that Palestine
should be kept from the Jews because,
he says, they have not accepted Christ,
and therefore have no right to claim
Palestine. He further says that PaleS-
tine should be restored in its antiquity.
and be made an international park, and
that the Christian holy places should
be protected.
If l am not mistaken there is not
gospel that the Jews have refuted their
right to their land by refusing to ac-
cept Christianity. If anything this is
a direct refutation of the Old Testa-
ment, which states many times that
Palestine is the heritage of Israel by
a reminder of the Dark Ages when
men, In their wild fanaticism, did not
hesitate to crush just - apd deny the
righteous claim Of tbs downtrodden
while saying good will to man"
The great nations who have recog-
nized the righteous demand of the
Zionists are. all Christian, be it remem-
bered. Not only that, but the most
Christian pope of Rome and the church
of England have also Endorsed it. And
lest We forget, Woodrow Wilson, who
has spoken In this matter for America
is also a very devout Christian.
Finally it is nothing more than jus
tiCe-and that there be justice for all
is the reason why the American presi-
dent went to the peace conference
that Palestine be returned to the Jews.
Never for an instant in 1000 years have
they lost hope. Nowhere for a moment
have they claimed any other land. Ever
prosecuted, always oppressed, is it not
time that the Jews should look up and
say as all other peoples: This Is my
own, my native land?" Is there any
other people which has a more just
claim of Palestine or are there any
other people who desire it as much as
the Jews? Justice not only, but common
sense also, demand a recognition of the
claims Of Zionism. For there is not
another people on the face Of the earth
who nave the will and ability to rams
form the Holy Land, now in stagna-
ton and desolation, into a land of
milk and honey" as in the days Of the
Bible.
II Mr.. Savage would restore Palestine
as in ancient times the first pre-requi-
site is to restore it to the Jews. We are
certainly as interested as he Is in UNI
earthing the monuments of antiquity so
the whole of God-fearing mankind,
Judaism, Christianity, Mohammedanism
alike can see the birthplace Of the be-
lief in the one God. And as for the
Christian holy places, is it not para
doxical to suppose that after having
fought for religious freedom 1000 years
the Jews would disrespect the belief of
most of the civilized world? Yours
truly, S. L. MEYERS.

PILFERING NEWS

One of the constant annoyances that members of the Asso-
ciated Press are continually subjected to is the pirating of news
by papers that are not members of the association.
The Associated Press was granted an injunction by the
supreme court of the United States last week against news
gathering associations that have been guilty Of the practice of
"lihng' news from the Associated Press.
The court held that there was no proprictorship in news
and that one association or its members might print it, and any
other association might do Likewise, provided it got its news
from the source and did not bodily purloin it.
One of the favorite practices on the part of some of the
news agencies is to take the Associated Press story and rewrite
it, and pass it off as its own production after the Associated
Press had spent its money aud its time in developing the story
The court held that this was unfair competition.
At first blush the advantage to the reading public will not
be obvious, but it must be remembered that the Associated Press
spends hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in gathering
news, and if other associations are permitted to puron it there
will be less incentive to go after the news.
Beats that some of the news associations make with news
are frequently good guesses that the thing is going to happen,
and the news they send out that is reliable frequently is stolen
from the Associated Press.
