The New Hope in Palestine

From the Christian Herald
 Few events in the course of the war have made deeper impression upon the public mind than the pledge given to restore Palestine to the Jewish na- tion and establish the ancient land as national Jewish home. But it now ap- pears that the programme includes much more It carries with it the restoration of those nations and lands over which the infidel Moslem power has ruled roush-shod for many centuries-the Jews, the Arabians and the Armenians. With the progress of the war mems views have broadened of the value of nationality, and the right of the ancient races, equally with the modern, not only to exist but to govern themselves and their right also to be aided by all civilized peoples in working out their own destiny.
 The eyes of the world are centered, however, upon Palestine. where the dawn of a new freedom has risen. Palestine s agricultural colonies, it's industries. it's sanita tion, it's water supply, its transpor- tation problem, it's reforestation, will be among the constructive tasks of the inn mediate future To it's development the wealth and influence of the nations will be tributary in the greN hope of a re- juvenated Israel.

The re- ports are collected, compared by the intelligence department of each division or unit and transferred to maps. The daily map Is supplemented by the week ly map.

CASTE REGULATIONS MAY BE ABOLISHED
 BY JAP REFORMERS
Recent Food Riots Advocate Such a Change in the Spirit of Modern
 Japan

Tokio, September 25.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press. .)-Japanese re- formers, stirred by the recent food riots in which the "eta" or outcast class of society took a prominent part, are ad- vocating the abolition of the caste regu- lations which hedge about these people on the ground that the restrictions are distinctly out of consonance with the spirit of modern Japan.
 The "eta'' might be compared to the pariahs of India. They number more than 100000 and are said to be the descendants of Korean captives brought to Japan during the wars of the sixth century. Others trace their origin to the introduction of Buddhism in Japan in the eighth century when the taking of animal life was looked upon by ad- herents of the new faith with abhor- renee and disdain. From the earliest days the "eta" have been slaughterers of cattle and other live stock and to- day the majority of these people ob- tain their livelihood as butchers and tanners.
 Legally the "eta" have the same rights as other Japanese, but socially they are outcasts. Forbidden to mingle with high class Japanese or to marry outside their own caste, the abbatoir workers and their families live together in towns and villages in western and southern Ja pan. Included in their number are many radicals, who see in the growing spirit of democracy an opportunity to end forever for themselves and children the social ostracism to which for centuries their forbears have been subject.
 The rice disturbances gave the eta the opportunity to show their disapprovai Of existing conditions. Many of their women in the city of Osaka led attacks upon food dealers and property. With the settlement of the trouble, Japanese ed1- tors and publicists suggest the "eta should be brought out of their settle ments and encouraged to live and as- sociate with their so-called betters. as a part of the plan to more thoroughly democratiZe Japan.

There have been some very fine en-

knights of Columbus War Fund,
Mr.. Francis ]. Brennan, Sec.
Friend Frank
1 have learned that the Knights of
Columbus Of Bridgeport are to make
drive for funds during the week Of
January 14th and I am in this manner
expressing my hopes for great sue
cess.
The Knights surely have done a
vast amount of good at this camp by
the erecting of many recreation halls
and the capable men they have plac-
ed at these halls as secretaries, and
especially the priests that have been
appointed as army chaplains.
Being in the 3O4th Regiment am
i in a position to write about the hall
that has been built for this regiment
more so than the others and I will
say that it is here that I spend my
evenings and am always sure to find a
fine crowd of fellows to mingle with.
The hall is always kept very comfort
able even during the very severe cold
wave that we had recently, when the
| thermometer registered between 20
and 80 degrees below the zero mark.
There is always a large supply of sta
tionery to be found, including the pa
per and envelopes that 1 am now US
ing and very comfortable places to sit
and write.
There is a fine piano to be found
at the hall, also two victrolas, with a
| large collections of the best records.
There is also a variety of books to
choose from in the Library so there
is no reason for a fellow to go short on
reading matter.
Father Lynch is our Chaplain and
he is the finest of men and is very
well liked throughout the regiment.
He was up to our company a short
time ago and gave us quite a talk and
| told US all to take full advantage of

in 1905.
-Four years later he became the
whip of the labor party and later
it's leader. In 1915 he was premier
of the state and also its treasurer,
and commissioner of education. For
two years prior to his selection as
premier, he served as treasurer and
commissioner of the town lands of
the state
Vaughn appears here under the
auspices of the Bridgeport War Bur

to overflow the High school at the
meeting on Wednesday at 8 p. m Go
early is the advice of the manager.
