1t is these Sephardim, orientals, to

PALESTINE NEEDS
/. SCHOOL REVISION
Three Educational Groups
CompIicate Problem of
Liberated Promised Land.
BRITISH MAKE SURVEYS
BY MARION WEINSTEIN.

Liberated Palestine needs agricultural
and industrial development. trained ex-
ecutives and pioneers with grit and
simple wants. But perhaps in the prom
ised land, as elsewhere, the sure cure for
its own particular parcel of ills is a
sound system of education.
With three distinct groups of schools
in the little country, Jewish, Christian
and Moslem, with religious belief the
line of cleavage. what wonder that there
is no real brotherhood in the land
where the ideal had its birth?
That there is misunderstanding among
the different faiths in their contact
proof compartments? That Jewish as
pirations loom large as a menace on
the Moslem horizon, driving the dis
ciples of Mohanmed to unite in sup
posed self protection with their ancient
enemies" the Christians?
The Jewish system of education in
Palestine today is the most extensive,
the Greek, Latin and Protestant church
schools ranking second in their separate
groups, and the Moslem schools, sup
ported mainly by taxation, last.
Jewish School System.
The Jews have a costly chain of kin
dergartens. elementary schools, hlgn
schools, trade and night schools, teach
ers' seminaries. purely religious schools,
a gymnasium with two years OF the col
lege course, and Mikweh Israel the
only agricultural school in the country.
Under Zionist control the medium Of
instruction is the classical Hebrew, eX-
cept in some of the Orthodox Talmud
Torahs that stu cling to Yiddish. The
schools have Hebrew text books for
most of the elementary subjects and.
for the rest, are successfully applying
the lecture method or direct discussion.
1t is a school system that may justly
stir pride in Jewish Palestine.
But Zionists with vision believe the
time has come to broaden its sectarian
policy If Palestine is to be a Jewish
commonwealth not in a religious but In
a nationalist sense. with freedom and
opportunity for all-Christian, Mosen

Plead Lack of Funds.

questioned many Zionist leaders in
the Holy Land about this narrow edu-
cationl policy. Their excuse was in
evitably lack Of funds. They told me
of plans they had to provide for the
Moslems later DR.. Harry Frieden-
valid. the new acting head Of the COM
mission, himself, assured me there
were such plans
Meanwhile, ignorant Of any Jewish
efforts in their behalf. the Moslems
pointed bitterly to the sectarian lines
in education as we'll as in most Zion
list endeavor in Palestine. 1t was
their answer to the argument that
a Jewish commonwealth would prove
a boon to the Arabs.
lens with whom I discussed the edu-
cational question seemed to show
some faith. however. that increased
American Jewish influence in Zionist
management in the Holy Land would
improve matters. American Jews,
they conceded, usually included Mos
lens and Christians in their benefits,
as in the case Of the Vulcan with its
cargo of medicines and food. the
the Nathan Straus health bureau and
recent donation for Moslem relief.
Face Difficult Problem.
The crux of the educational prob
lem in Palestine, it seems, is the He
brew language. The Zionists are
determined that it must be the official
language. at least of the Jews, in
the country, the prime symbol Of
their nationality. 1t must remain
the medium Of instruction in their
schools. If they admit Moslems or
merge their institutions into a public
school system, they cannot impose
Hebrew upon the Moslem majority.
Bilingual schools. with Arabic and
Hebrew of equal status. they feel,
would be a surrender of their ma
tionalist lights. With the orthodox
even now complaining that the Zionist
schools are not Jewish" enough. the
Zionists have no easy problem before
them.

MEXICO IN MIDST
OF HOT CAMPAIGN
FOR PRESIDENCY

Washington, Sept. 26.-The political
campaign between Generals Gonzalez
and obregon for the presidency of
Mexico is steadily growing hotter.
Through advices from Mexico City, il
was learned today that General Obre-
gon is making a Swing around the
circle" and plans to reach Mexico City
during the absence of President Car
ranza in the north.
Rafael Zubarson. Abregon's cam
paign manager says that one result of
the visit of General Obregon to the
cipital will be to ALLEVIATE many mem
bers of congress from the cause of
Gonzalez. who is supported by the Car
ranZistas.
Gonzales campaign manager, Sena-
tor j. Sanchez Ascona, is bitterly at
tacking Obregon and Zubaron in am
effort TO hold in line the members of
congress whom he had interested in
the candidacy of Gonzales.

LEADERS FEAR
IS NO CHANCE
OF ACCEPTANCE
Treaty Proponents Plan to Hold
Conference With President
on His Return and Advise Him
of Their Decision.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The German
peace treaty got nearly six hours speed
ing up in the senate today but with
out reaching the fall amendments which
have been made special order of bus
mess by a strict party vote early in the
week The treaty was discussed con-
tinualIy today with big crowd look
ing on but afraid to cheer because of
warnings of election. Republicans and
democrats both heard reports today
that the president on his return will
be advised Monday perhaps by some
of the democratic leaders that there is
no hope of ratifying the treaty with
out reservations.
After President Wilson's return to
Washington Sunday, democratic lead
ers in the senate plan to seek an early
conference to advise him of the peace
treaty situation in the senate and to
discuss a possible compromise over
reservations.
Some prominent democratic senator's
said they planned to advise the presi-
dent to carefully consider acceptance
OF some sort of reservations. interpre-
tative in character, at least. 1t was
said to be possible that their advice
would extend to recommendations that
reservations be accepted or that the
treaty be withdrawn from the senate,
at least temporarily.
These democratic spokesmen are con-
vinced the treaty cannot be ratified
without reservations OF some descriP-
tion. They conceded. however there
might be a conflict in the democratic
advice given the president in view of
the adamant position taken against res
ervations by Senator Hitchcock. demo-
crat of Nebraska, the administration
leader in the treaty fight.

BROTHERHOODS
TN ARGUMENT
over DELEGATES
Fourteen Other Unions Railway
Men Accuse Them of Having
Chosen Representatives With
out Regard to Them.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Dispute has
arisen between the four railroad broth
erhoods and the fourteen other unions
of railroad employees as to representa-
ton in the industrial conference called
by President Wilson for October 6.
The president instructed Director
General Hines to have the railroad
unions represented by four men and
Mr.. Hines transmitted the instructions
to all the unions. The four brotherhoods
appointed the four men without regard
TO the other employees. Protest soon
was forthcoming from the shop, main
tainence of way and other employees
that they should be allowed to partici-
pate in the selection of the representa-
tives. but the question has not been
settled.
The brotherhoods were said today to
have based their action on the act of
the appointment of other delegates to
the conference by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor with which the four
teen railroad unions are affiliated.

Government Takes View That
Issues Must Be Fought With
Every Facility Even to EN-
plOyment of Armed Forces.
WAR OFFICES TAKE
PRECAUTIONARY STEPS
Strike Is Looked on by Govern
ment Heads as Threat Against
Life of Community-Will Pro-
tect Volunteers for Service.

London, Sept. 2e.-The Associated
Press learns authoritatively that the
view that the railroad strike called
for midnight tonight must be fought
with every facility, even to the en-
ployment of armed even if necessary.
The war offices announced it will be
necessary to suspend rehabilitation.
and cancel all leaves of absence forth
with. The government looks the
strike as a threat against the life of
the community. While it does not
propose to take over and operate the
railways, the government asserts it will
protect any men volunteering for rail-
way service.
Leaders of the national union of rail-
way men expressed confidence this
morning that an order for a general
strike would be necessary as a result
OF today's conference with Premier
Lloyd George and other members of
the cabinet. The executive committee
Of the union conferred for a long time
before proceeding to the ministry to
resume negotiations. Immediately aft
er their conference members of the
committee stated the resumption of ne
gotiations had not altered any ar
rangements already made in connection
with calling the strike. Should such
action become necessary, local secre-
taries would call out the men at mid
night in the event orders should be re-
ceiyed from the central body.
When J. z. Thomas and other men,
bers of the executive committee of the
union arrived at the ministry at noon
immense crowds had assembled, await
ing the result of the momentous dis
cussions. The cabinet had held a
meeting before it opened its confer
ence with the union representatives.
The conference between the rail-
road mems representatives and the
government for an attempted adjust
ment of differences on the wage ques-
ton today resulted in failure and a
strike on the railroads has been order
ed to take effect at midnight.
The strike will affect probably more
than &C, 900 men. The government has
arranged to have the mails carried by
airplanes and to have large motor cars
from the government services made
available for the conveyance of supplies
to the large towns which will be seri-
ously affected.
The locomotive engineers have. an
inounced they would join in the strike
but it is stated the government has ar
ranged to have many men who drove
engines during the war make runs on
the principal train service routes.

BY LLOYD GEORGE

London, Sept. 26.-Efforts are be-

reach an adjustment of the Irish prob

here. Among the possibilities is is
said, the resignation of James Ian Mac
