~ IL a. Dldil correspondents
The suffering and sorrow OF the great
war has cast shadow over the entire
world. But, outside the walls OF the
City OF Zion, saw break through that
cloud a ray OF sunshine that Will find
a welcome In the millions OF Jewish
hearts over the entire globe.
The day marked an epoch in their
history.
For on Mount Scopus that afternoon
was laid the cornerstone OF the first
great Hebrew university.
In the early afternoon the crowds be-
gan leaving the gates Of Jerusalem, and
kept increasing until a multitude was
streaming up the road and through the
! fields OF Mount Scopus.
! Most of them were walking, because
practically all were too poor 20 ride.
Besides, when the Turks retreated they
swept Jerusalem clean OF carriages,
wagons and horses.
The entire crowd was marked by its
poverty, but you forgot the poverty as
you caught their splrlt-for over the
multitude there hung an atmosphere
of hope and expectancy.
They were all happy, and we'll they
might be, for a new day was beginning
for all OF them, and surely no race has
suffered more intensely and longer than
the Jews.
A Jewish Nation Again at Hand .....
They have prayed for centuries that
the day might come when they would
be able to return to Palestine, and nnd
a national home.
One Of the best-known spots TO tour
lists In Jerusalem Is the "Waillng Place
OF the Jews" where for hundreds OF
years they have gathered TO pray, day
after day, week after week, month by
month, year by year, for the restOra-
tion OF their kingdom.
At last II looks as II their dream
might become a reality.
Arthur James BalfOur, Great Britaln's
secretary OF state for foreign affairs,
has written on the subject as follows
His majesty's government views with
favor the establishment In Palestine OF
national home for the Jewish people,
and Will use their best endeayOrs to
facilitate the achievement Of this OBJ
ject, IL being clearly understood that
nothing shall be done which may pref
udice the civil and religious rights
OF existing nOn-Jewish communities in
Palestine or the rights and political
status enjoyed by Jews in any other
country"
Without pomp and expensive prepar-
alton, the multitude gathered on the (
mountain side overlooking the Judean /
the Jordan valley beyond, /
ihe mountains OF Moab in the distance,
Jerusalem 10 the west across KidrOn
valley, and 10 the south the Mount Of
olives.
With heads high the multitude sang
heir hosannas and hallelujahs.
The laying Of the corner stone was
marked by simplicity and dignity.
The actual building Of the university
Will be delayed until after the war,
,ut as the corner stone was laid there
iank into the heart OF that Jewish null
ltude hope that shall spread into far
Instant lands, wherever beat Hebrew
hearts, hope Of tomorrow when the
Jews shall come back after nearly 2000
Years OF exile 10 claim a home in the L
and OF their fOre-fathers. For Abraham Il

(Unlted Press stan Correspondent
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. &c. tBy Mail.-Tht
American army is gradually being pop
ulated with boche dogs.
At the same time the United States
soon will be thiekly populated with
boche helmets.
The fighting American is just as earn
est in his souvenir hunting as the
peaceful American. Practically every
doughboy, herefore-whether from
town or country-nade It a point TO
pick up a bochc helmet somewhere
during his advance from the Marne to
the Nesle. The German soldiers cast
aside the heavy helmets ia their re-
treat, and they were scattered broad
cast over the Marne valley. on aud
across tie Ourcq to the Vesle. BY
pastias the address on the hat together
with 40 cents postage, the American
fighting men can send his sweetheart
or mother a souvenir direct from the
battlefield And all Of them have done
it or are doing it.
Aboutthe dogs. The boche left them
behind, just as he did the helmets.
the Americans entered Bouvsrdes.
Sergy, CieTges, and various other towns,
they found the boche dogs barking
about in the cellars and dugouts their
late masters had been driven from. A
dog can't help being boche, 80 the
doughboys don't hold against him the
fact that he is one. The deserted dogs
were fed. They quickly made friends
with the Americans and were adopted
by various companies. The dogs now
are just as good democrats as they
were autoerats. Each bears some sort
OF German name. A chaplain has
little black daschund he calls Minnie"
The after part of her name is "Werfer."

was the father OF the Jewish people
and IL was on Mount Morah, later called
Salem, and now Jerusalem, that Abra-
ham built his altar to offer up his su-
preme sacrifice.
Zionist Colonies Already Thriving.
Even under the unjust Turkish rule
the Zionists had established a number
OF colonies In Palestine, and anyone
who doubts their ability to oolonize has
only TO visit some Of these villages.
Just how the problems OF govern
ment Will be worked out is a question
for tho Allies TO settle, for OF course
the country will need to be 80 handled
that Jerusalem will be kept not only
for Jews, but for the peoples OF the
world.
To the Christian, Jerusalem. Bethle-
hem, the Mount Of Olives, and other
spots throughout the country are hal
lowed and sacred, while the Moslem
looks upon Jerusalem as second only to
Mecca In its holiness.
General Allenby, when he moved on
Jerusalem, worked out his plan so that
the city was captured without a single
shell being fired into the old city.
Contrast this care and protection with
the visit of the German Kaiser TO the
city; he had them tear down part
OF the wall for him TO enter on horse
back, thus desecrating the stones that
had only been touched by the bare feet
Of the pilgrims.
This was looked upon as the action
Of On eg0tistical monarch, but now we
have come to realize that it was part
OF a plan to win the Moslem world TO
Germany.
KaiSer's Hospice More Like Fortress.
In keeping with this damnable pro-
gram he had erected on the beautiful
Mount Of Olives, overlooking Jerusa-
lem and all the surrounding country,
a great stone building which they called
the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria hOspice,
which even then was spoken Of as, look
ing more like q fortress than it did
hOspice.

10 be for the use Of German pilgrims, J
but it was afterward discovered that
L contained a MOST powerful wireless
outfit which / presume the expOnents

nd meditations.
Later they claimed that the iounda- |
ions OF the ways were beginning TO |

rete bases to hold them in place.
