COLLECTION OF FUNDS FOR
PALESTINE INSTITUTIONS.

What shall be the attitude of the
American Zionist Organization with
regard to the collection of funds tor
individual public institutions in
Palestine? What should be our at
titude specifically toward the Chalu-
ka and the methods employed in col
lecting it? Such are the questions
the American Zionist Organization
propounds. The American and the
World Zionist Organizations have
so much to look after, so many big
tasks to perform, that the best thing
they can do is, for the time being at
least, to interfere as little as possible
with such institutions and such col
lections. Of course, they need super
vision, and the Chaluka will eventu-
ally have to be abolished altogether.
But that must be done gradually by
educating the Zionist public. The
indiscriminate and unsupervlsed
collection of funds does indirectly
some harm to the Zionist Organiza-
ton, since people often contribute
to such funds the money that should
be given to, and used to far better
advantage for, the more important
Zionist activities in Palestine. But
all that can be remedied in time,
and only by process of education.
When the new Jewish life in Pales-
tine is organized, close supervision
will naturally be exercised over all
institutions and activities, and the
non-Pa1estinian Jewish public will
be properly informed by the Pales-
tinian authorities. In the meantime
let us keep our hands off, in order
to avoid all unnecessary friction and
disturbance.

Hauling farm produce to market in
motortrucks represents one means of
the successful solution Of the "short
haul" one of the most difficult prob
lens which confronts the Transports
ton expert.
The failure of railroads to keep
pace with the expansion of the short
haul business; the development of the
producing areas adjoining the larger
cities in proportion to the production
demands asked Of them; and the up
building of the motortruck manufac-
turing activities, as well as the re-
cent war emergency crisis, have pOpu-
larized this method of moving farm
produce to market.

reign of terror that had been
marked, he declared, by murder, viO-
lation of women, theft, and arson,
perpetrated with cruelty unparalleled
in the history of civilization.
How They Took Charge.
1--WE were on our way to the Ufa
front, the southern sector of the Sibe-
rian front My first stop was at the
little county courthouse. There
learned that at sunset on the day
that the Kolchak forces withdrew the
bolshevists had entered the city.
"The first thing the bolshevists did
was to loot the town, and then they
organized their government. At the
head they placed the most cruel and
outspoken of their leaders, They then
appointed committees, one Of them the
so-called extraordinary committee on
investigation.
The judges, the aldermen, the coun-
cilmen and other leading citizens
that Is, those who had not been able
to escape-were promptly arrested.
and all of those who were known to
be against bolshevism or were sus-
pected were taken that night into the
public square and executed. They
were denied trial Of any sort.
81 talked with woman teacher.
The bolsheviks lined up all the boys,
the little ones as well. and questioned
them as TO their sympathies. All who
were not killed were put to work Of
the most mental kind.
'The school girls were ordered to
serve in the barracks, the reds ours
ing and beating those not blessed with
good looks. AS for the good-looking
girls, to use the words of their former
teacher, they suffered insults of the
most horrible nature
Many Hostages Held.
"They also named many hostages
and after subjecting them to the most
horrible treatment killed them and
threw the bodies into the river.
'Kguan is a city of perhaps $4,000
people. The bolsheviks murdered at
one time more than 1.500 citizens of
the place.
SIN Bugulma large number of men
were thrown into the hold of a barge
in the river at night. There were 90
persons In the hold, among them Nine.
Sophia Hedrofskaka, the principal of
the girls high school.
"The barge was tOwed a long dis
lance down the river and during the
voyage nine prisoners were ordered
to the deck and none ever returned,
nor had any Of them been heard from
up to the time left for America"

MoToRTRUcK FEES DIFFER
No General Understanding Through
out the Country az to Rate.
TO BE Paid.

At the beginning of 1919 there were
still % states in which mOtortrucks
were registered at the same rate as
pleasure cars. Recent years, however,
have shown quite general tendency
to increase the fees required for heavy
motortrucks. This increase usually is
based on the weight of the truck, its
carrying capacity, or combination OF
its carrying capacity and its horse
power. However, there is as yet no
evidence of any well-defned general
goal toward which this movement is
tending. Some states are placing
definite maximum weight which may
not be exceeded except in very special
cases; others are evidently relying on
discouraging or limiting the use of
very heavy trucks by making the regis
tration fees so large as to practically
prevent the realization of any profit;
while still other states are making no
serious efforts except to limit the
weight of the wheel loads per inch
width of tire. The terms motortruck
and commercial vehicle, moreover, are
very definite. In some states the term
commercial vehicle as used includes
all trucks, while In others only those
vehicles used for hire are classed as
commercial.

New rk.-Announcement has just
been made by William M. Banner of

to Lepers of the election of James b.

been baptized as Christians. 1t Is
the intention of the committee to
preach the Gospel to the afflicted vic

considerably more than is the cost
of fuel and oil. Heretofore the outer
castings of tires have been made up
of combination of woven canvas fab
ric and hard rubber. During the
past five years there has come onto
the market new type of casing
known as the "cOrd" tire, which is
rapidly gaining favor with motorists,
as they claim it is longer lived tlan
is the canvas fabric casing. IA this
new tire, instead Of using a woven
canvas fabric as a foundation. there
is used u series of strong cotton cords
or string. The claim is that these
cords will not break as readily under
the varying strains of country road
usage as will the woven fabric. If
one realizes that when the fabric Is
worn or rotted out the tire is useless,
he will see the importance OF having
this foundation material of the very
best which is available and which can

local conditions and the prospects for
the development of profitable and
permanent hauling business in their
communities. They neglect to inven-
tory such critical conditions as the
volume of farm products produced
along the contemplated routes, the vol
ume of miscellaneous hauling supple
mentary to regular loads; the compe-
titiOn of other carriers and the char
acter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. A motortruck route
established in a sparsely-settled or
nonproductive region is foredOOmed to
failure. At least potential supply
of commodities must be available for
hauling if there is to be sufficient bust
ness to make the route a paying one.
A region devoted to the production Of

son, will not provide business for a

sists in filling the float chamber of the

starting the engine. This will clear out
