 Palestine has been a buffer between the East and the West through the centuries. One portion of its area the Plain of EsdraeIon-is said to have had more battles fought upon it than have been fought upon any other place on the earth's surface Here the Egyptians, the BabyIonians, and the Israelites were in frequent conflict. Here the Crusaders and the Saracens struggled in the Middle ages Here Napoleon conquered the Turks and Arabs.
 The world rejoices at the outcome of the most recent engagements upon these blood-soaked fields, battles through the gaining of which Pales- tine has been wrested from the Turk, after its inhabitants have suffered with brief intermissions for 1900 years nuder his cruel rule

NEBRASKA REPFALS
 HER 14-YEAR OLD
 ANTT-CTGARETTE LAW

The thousands of soldiers from the state of Nebraska returning from France will be overjoyed to learn that they can now smoke cigarettes n their home state. The action of the state of Nebraska in. repeating her anti-cigarette law, which has been several years in force, Is high ly significant at the present time Popular sentim ent in favor of the cigarette as a result of it's wonder ful war record as a human solace without equal and popular reaction against all forms of prohibition that infringe upon what the people con- slider as their "inalienable rights" to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness are undoubtedly the reasons that have influenced the Nebraska legislators in repeating this law at this time.
 This repeating of Nebraska's anti cigarette law in undoubtedly the first official voice of the American people expressing their will through official channel Of government against too much prohib ibition that ex- ceeds beyond moderate bounds and infringes on their personal liberties This anti-pr onibitlon sentiment on the part of the people is said to be crystallizing rapidly in many parts of the country and will find expression in the near future in many different ways

THEY POINTED
 FINGERS AT HER
Young Manicure, Held Up to Scorn, Asks for Large
 AlimQny.

New York, April 3-The thing that most disturbed Mrs. Kate Wolf Hart, formerly a manicurist in a barb CT shop, when her 87-year-oId husband left her in 1918, was the fact that people pointed their fingers at her.
 That was what she told a jury in court yesterday when her suit for sep aration was brought to trial, and her lawyer emphasized the fact that she only wanted enough alimony to su- port her in a style that would keep people from pointing their fingers at her. Both the plaintiff and her coun- sel feel that alimony of $6,000-and counsel fees-would confound the fn- ger pointers.
 Mrs. Hart, who is 19 years old and blond and pretty, as lady litigants always are, told of her marriage to the aged MT. Hart and their honey moon in Atlantic City, and of their return to Brooklyn, where they livEd in S37 Monroe street and had break fast in bed and enjoyed the other privileges of the idle rich. But on Sunday, May 26, according to Mrs. Hart, her aged husband put on his hat and coat and left her, saying he would be gone forever.
 "I am through with you" she said he told her.
 The next day she went to his office in 1928 Gates avenue.
 Aren't you coming back to live with me?' she says she asked, pIai int ively.
 Get out" she says he shouted, q don't want to have anything to dc with you.''
 She wept.
 ''I want to know why you left me, g she says she said, "everybody is point ing their fingers at me because you left he.'
 She says he said nothing Justice Benedict reserved decision

 The training is divided Into two sections, junior and senior, the junior section for high school, and the senior section for college men. All boys II years of age or over are eligible and the government will furnish uniforms and equipment without expense. The only obIiga- tions on the part of the student is that once they start the course they must finish it. After graduation the boy can continue the work in col Iege, and after this is eligible for a commission in the reserve corps of the army. This is all of his own choosing.
 If the student enters college and continues the course he will receive from the government SIP a month for the first 2 months, which in- cludes one vacation. The studies at the high school will require three hours a week.
