British Front In Palestine.)
All that has been said and written
p about the heat and dust Of the Jordan
valley does not even give a faint idea
Of its horrors.
As soon as we left Jerusalem and
Z started to Jericho its awful creeping
subtle power began to be manifested.
Il is indeed a case OF going down 10
Jericho. for it Is one constant descent
through hills void OF all vegetation.
They are all covered with q thin coat
of white dust and the glare Of the sun
on them fairly blinds one. The great
barren rocks seem to fairly scream for
water The road winds in and round
through the Judean wilderness. where
II is cut OF from all breeze and where
.he heat fairly boils your blood.
All the way down 10 Jericho we were
passing a constant stream OF motor lor-
lies slowly crawling the hills for food
FOR the men in the valley down below,
and munitions for the greedy guns Oc-
casionally, as the dust lifted, we got a
good look at the motor drivers. whose
faces were covered with a veneer Of
dust, which had clung TO their sweat
streaming faces. Their clothing was
also covered which gave them ghost
like appearance.
Poor Place TO Go.
The nearer we approach Jericho the
more did become convinced that the
traveller whom we are told about In the
New Testament, who was journeying
from Jerusalem down to Jericho land
fell among robbers, who both stripped
him and beat him and left him for
dead got exactly the kind Of treatment
that was coming TO him, for surely no
man deserves any sympathy who goes
10 Jericho, especially if he goes down
during the summer months.
Jerusalem of $500 feet above sea
level, while Jericho Is 400 feet below
the level Of the sea. Il Is the only part
OF the war zone where aviatOrs can
both fly and fight below the level OF
the ocean.
II is hardly proper TO speak Of JeF-
icho as either a town or a village. IL
only has a few dismal and dirty little
novels, not worthy Of being called
houses. Its population is even more
disgusting. but fortunately there arc
only about 300 Of them.
Leaving Jericho we crossed the bar
rem flats and then through a few low
living chalk hills 90 the River Jordan.
Possibly no river IN all the world Us
been more talked Of than has the Jordan
not because OF its size. as It is less
than 100 miles In length and at its
broadest point it is only a little over
100 feet across and only three TO ~
feet in depth. II cannot be spoken Of
because, OF its beauty. as It flows

Lens, center OF the Pas-de-Calais

100000 tons a year and employed
25,OOO workers, has given evidence Of

The Germans have been working

Pumping out flooded pits and repair

 In Alaska there are thousands who sooner or later hope to emerge from within the Territory and it's seventies with handsome fortune. They often peddie to themselves that it is their lot to be among the very few who will draw a prize from it's cruel rigors, and they don't want to be troubled with union or unionism. They are going around wrapped up in dreams with millionaires" heads upon working mems shoulders, and within their skulls is the intellect of a mule. Such as these will of course, scorn to have any thing to do with a union. They will Khaki suits" and persuade their poor foolish selves that they are on the high road to prosperity when in reality they are drifting down the trail of despond- ency.
 It would be interesting, and valuable as we'll as interesting, to learn the number of men who came to this coun- try and has reaped d compentency. It would also be valuable to know the poor percentage of those who rose above the wage-working class, and earned a competency for the rest of their lives. No man who has carefully examined this paper and will reflect upon it, but will realize only too clearly that the average is unfortunately very followed the workers who are steadily employed on the Outside. True enough that the operations carried on here have by those who owned the claims in some instances produced wealth for the proprietor a thousand fold.

UNioNlSM VS POLITICS.

Apparently the political situation will warm up considerably towards spring, and during the coming sum- mer. Efforts will be made to interest the workers in the whirlgig of capital ist concerns, and they will be hranded a sugar coateo pill which they will be induced to swallow, whatever be the narcotic effects of such doses of cap italistic politics the workers who ven- ture to partake of such dope will be well advised to such conditions themsel- yes as they will De able in a strong union of the workers to present an effective ant1dote to it's effects. The opportunity for such organization work is here and now The opportunity is offered every wage-worker to get into the union and getting in right so that what concerns him most, his work on the job, will be better looked after. There is every likehood on the other hand should any worker permit himself to be carried away by his political in- fatuation, that the labor organization and that alone is the only thing which will protect him from the "stenchful vapor of political parisitical vultures and their pinkerton henchmen." Per haps there are some who believe that they will have their interests better looked after by their boss, or the po- litical parisite than by themselves, and hence they perfer to present themsel- yes to such an aggregation as a non- union man.
 Perhaps there are others who fear to join, that should they join the union, and fight to better their conditions they may lose their jobs and hence will have none of it. Such spineless spec imens of humanity are truly to be pitied. Without strength of mind sufficient to stand Np before their em- ployer and ask for what they want ashamed of being with class of men who know what they want and are de- termined to fight until they get it. these men are the poor weddings in the class struggle, who exist only by sufference.
 The struggle for an eXistance under the capitalist system is surely very seen. But there is no reason why, when the workers organize to help themselves and their fellows, to take the keeness from that struggle least they lose their johs should they en- deavor to burst their bonds In all

High School Boys
To Make Red Cross
Surgical Bandages

Boys Of the Demosthenian Debat.
ing society Of central High school
will do their bit for their country in
new and unusual way for boys.
A class in making surgical dress.
irgs for the Red Cross will be FORM
ed under the leadership of Mrs. Ada
Atkinson. The boys will go at it in
the same manner as the white-robed
girls and teachers save that they in
tend to accomplish muc'l, much more
than the workers of the gentler sex.
The class will meet once a week
under the direction of one of the
teachers and will make-the dressings
so badly needed by the boys in
France. They may take an example
from the boys of the North High
school, Minneapolis, who, led by a
toot ball player, have thrown fears
of pride to the winds and have formed
a sugical dressing class. II is reported
that the girls are doubling their
efforts TO keep up to the boys.
All boys of the school who are in
terested and willing to do their bit
are requested to register with Mrs.
Atkinson. Boys from other former
literary societies are also invited.
Only two societies remain which have
not become war work classes for the
period of the war.
Members of the debating society
held a preliminary meeting in Cen
tral High school this afternoon to
plan details for the organization of
their Red Cross unit.
