ESTINE.

One hundred demobilized Jewish
legionaires have been put at work
preparing farms in the Valley of
Jezreel, Palestine, according to
cable received by the Zionist Or
ganization of America from Mr..
Bernard A. Rosenblatt. The land
is owned by the Zion Common
wealth, a company affiliated with
the Zionist Organization, whose
purpose it is to aid in the settle
ment of the Jews of Palestine. Mr..
Rosenb1att is the president of this
corporation and he recently went
to Palestine to begin practical OPP
erations on the land, thing made
possible by the termination of the
war.
The legionaires who have been
engaged for this work are all
Americans. They were members of
the Jewish fighting legion with the
British army in Palestine. Having
been demobi1ized, it is their inten-
ton to remain and work in Pa1es-
tine. According to the report, they
are working on a cooperative ba-
sis, which is one of the funda
mental principles of the Zion Com
monwealth.

BRITISH JOURNALISTS
PREDICT ANARCHY IN
GERMANY UNLESS AIDED

London, March l.-Several of this
mornings newspapers feature arti-
cleS on the internal Generalization
OF Germany and the dangerous
growth Of bolshevism as a result OF
lack OF food and the increase of un-
employment, and express editorial
ly deep CONCERN at the problem thus
created for the allies. Various re-
ports concur in declaring that the
situation is extremely urgent. A
Reuters report describes the posi-
tion Of Germany as more precarious
than it was last November.
"Discontent is CROWN, the people
are hungry, neurasthenic and dis
pirited, and the government is un-
able to improve material conditions
this report says. "Far-sighted and
well informed men are pessimistic
and apprehensive at ominous signs
which show tendency toward an
archy."
The Telegram, which prints two
long reports this week from a cor
respondent who is viewing the situa-
ton in Germany, prints another to-
day corroborating the worst fea-
lures of reports of hardship among
the German people. The cores
pondent contends that if the allies
do not act Immediately there will
be no Germany to negotiate with,
because anarchy will take the place
OF government"

prevail among nations
Continuing, it says "The plan
for league OF nations aims to Sc
cure justice between the nations,
preserve their independence, and, by
peaceably settling differences be-
tween them, prevent needless resort
to war. Such a league cannot be
formed unless the United States is
a party"

proval of the tentative draft of the
Paris covenant for a league of ma
tionS was pledged.

WORTHY OF THE BALLOT.

Can a woman vote intelligently /?
] say yes. And in my judgment
just as inteligently as a man. And
on the most important laws and is
sues to be decided upon by the bal
lot, she can and will vote more in
telligently than a man because she
is more deeply interested in the
problem of raising her boys and girls
to be good citizens. She teaches
them to obey the laws of God and
the laws of the country. She talks
it around the hearthStone and as
she goes about her household du-
ties. She talks it in the church and
in the Sunday schools. | ask the
question, who would venture to say
she could not learn, comprehend
and obey the laws OF God? No man
will say so. She knows the laws
pertaining to morality, honesty and
good citizenship and while it is true
they are not familiar with all the
laws of the country, it is because
they have been disfranchised. Their
hands have been tied and they have
felt that it was not essential for
them to know all the laws, but now
that the shackles have been removed
and they are free to study, learn
and practice a profession OF their
own choosing | know they will
prove themselves worthy of the bal
lot. They will learn all the laws,
help to make better laws, put better
people in office. l hope that every
mother and every single woman over
twenty-one years old will register
and vote.

FOUR HUNDRED WOMEN
QUALIFY TO VOTE At
COMING CITY ELECTION

VIII the women OF Ardmore par
ticipate in the coming city primary?
The registration books for wom-
en- voters, and men who had not
previously registered, were opened
by the registrars Wednesday, Feb
ruary 2S and will remain open until
midnight Saturday, March 8.
The books have been open lust
tour days and the number of wom-
en- registering has been surprise.
1t has been shown that there is no
question about the women having
been IN real earnest during all the
years they have been asking for the
ballot. They have it now and it is
evident, from the way in which the
women OF Ardmore have been regis
tering, that they will nearly all, If
not all, go to the polls and vote in
the primary March l8.
Up TO last night total of 395 had
been returned as having registered
and included in this report was that
OF one precinct of the Fourth ward
which was sent in carly yesterday
morning and no doubt many more
registered there during Saturday.
This is divided among the regis
trarS in the several wards, as fol-
lows:
First ward-R. T. Dallas, 81; VIII
Prater 50; ]. s. McCharen 25.
Second ward-O. II. Vaughn, 2l !;
James Duston So.
Third wards. c. Reeder 49,;
Mrs. J. S. Downward O..
Fourth ward-Milton Ikard So;
Rev. James c. Leach O..
The registration by wards is:
First ward ll2; Second ward II;
Third ward 81; Fourth ward 124.
SO far, the Fourth is the banner
ward, but Mr.. McCharen said he
was assured that there would be a
large number OF women registering
in his precinct of the First ward
Monday and Tuesday.
Chickasha was the first city in
the state in which the registration
books were opened to women, and
there the registration did not
amount to much the first day or two.
The showing in Ardmore for the
first four days is remarkable and
leads to the belief that there will be
hardly woman over the age of 2l
years who will not be registered by
next Saturday night.

Nothing would please the Azo-

Dunn cabled him request that the
