CHAPTER XIV,

He went TO his room, threw off his
coat, waisteoat. collar and tie, letting
them lie where they chanced to fall.
and then, having violently enveloped
himself In a black velvet dressing
gown, continued this action by lying
down with a vehemence that brought
a wheeze Of protest from his bed. His
repose was only a momentary sem
blance, however, for II lasted no long
er than the time II took him to groan
"RinraR J" between his teeth. Then he
sat mp, swung his feet to the floor, rose
and began to pace up and down the
large room.
He had just been consciously rude
to his mother for the first time In his
life; for, with all his riding down of
populace and riffraff, he had never be-
fore been either deliberately or i'm
pulsively dlsregardful Of her. But
now he had done rough thing to her;
and he did not repent; the rather he
was the more irrltated with her. And
when he heard her presently go by his
door with light step. singing cheer
fully to herself as she went TO her
room, he perceived that she had mis-
taken his intention altogether, or, In.
deed, had failed to perceive that he
had any intention at all.
There came delicate, eager tap
ping at his door, not done with a
knuckle but with the tip of a finger
nail. which was instantly clarified to
Georges minds eye as plainly as IL he
saw 1t: the long and polished white
mooned pink shield on the end Of his
Aunt Fanny's right forefinger. But
George was in no mood for human
communications. and even when things
went well he had little pleasure In
Fanny's society. Therefore II ia not
surprising that at the sound of her
tapping. instead of bidding her enter.
he Immediately crossed the room with
the intention of locking the door TO
keep her out.
Fanny was too eager and, opening
fhe door before he reached II. came
quickly in, and closed 1t behind her
Her look was that of a person who
had just seen something extraordinary
or heard thrilling news.
Now. what on earth do you want fp

"You did right I" Fanny said with 4
vehemence not the less spirited be-
cause she suppressed her voice almost
to whisper. "You did exactly

about the whole thing. and ! want to
tell you l know your father would

HENRIETTA SZOID ON ZIONIST
EDUCATIONAL WORK.

Miss Henrietta Szold. whom the re-
cent American Jewish Congress has
appointed secretary for Zionist Edu-
cation. and who was n delegate from
one of the Jewish electoral districts
in New York city. describes the work
of the educational department which
she SAYS. will be to publish the op
portunities offered to Jews in Fai-
estine and to prepare text books III
Jewish history and Jewish Thought
and for the study of Hebrew.
when Palestine is developed. says
Miss Sold. there will be room for
j.OOO,OOO settlers. Before the war we
had sixty colonies there with popu
lation of 125.OOO Jewish inhabitants.
When asked what would happen to
the non-Jewish inhabitants when the
Jews return, she replied:
"They are principally Arabs. and
they will stay so. long as they please,
The Arabian kingdom has already been
recognized by the Allies. just as the
Jewish commonwealth has been. There
are no Turks in Palestine"
The suggestion was made that the
Jewish capacities had beer lying fal
low for centuries and that the time
was ripe for reflowering of Jewish
literature. art. music, philosophy
exceed all tradition.
'The Jews have not Deen lying fai-
low" Miss Sold replied. They have
made great contributions. especially to
philosophy. music and science. all along
in every country where they have hap
pened to be. but their work has been
classified as belonging to the partic"'
lar nation of their exile
1T is true. however, wherever IN
recent times political freedom has been
conceded to Jews, there has been
vigorous self-eXpression in all the arts
and sciences. And Zionists do feel
that with national background the
Jewish race will produce particular
ly national culture
When asked how this culture would

her opinion there is no combination Of
qualities that go to make up what
might be called the Jewish charac'
ter
Some say the Jews are subjective.
Others say they are objective. Some
call them radical. Others call them
conservative l have known so many
kinds of temperament do not think
it is possible to generalize. 1t is prob
able that Jews have been influenced
by the national environment in which
they happened to find tbemselves, and
that is why there are so many differ

rOGRONIs BREAK OUT IN HUN.
GARY.

tByeJ q
\ new wave of anti-Jewish eXcesses
has broken over Hungary. resulting
in the ruin of much property belong
ing to Jews Several places inhabited
in the main by Jews have been prac
tically destroyed. There appears to
be no power or authority which can
take it upon itself 10 protect them.
In one city all Jewish houses and
stores without exception We're looted.
1t is estimated that tile value of the
property which was stolen or destroy
ed is upwards of 10.0OO,OOO florins.
The rioters left nothing of the least
value. !.
In several places in the pressbure
district the same thing happened and
most of the Jews have hecn left alb
solutely destitute. In Galgatz, Kpi
over, Tchornia and other Hungarian
cities the same wholesale looting oc-
Cured. In the districts of Pcsth.
Banat. Roma ron and Weisscnbcrg the
Jewish population forsook their prop
erty and fled in order 10 save their
lives. .at ~
According to later reports the po
groms took the form of attacks upon
the Jews even in the synagogs. In
MarmOros the rioters forced their en-.
try into the synagog during prayers
and threw bombs which killed three
worshipers. In Stamfo the hoodlnms
ordered all the Jews TO hoard train
and they pillagcd al The houses Of the
Jews. In Kishkunherletnza the po-
grom assumed the magnitude of n bat.
tie and many Jews We're killed. In
Alsollalenfala two Jews were shot. All
Jews in Sheleslonka We're ordered to
leave the town and their property was
seized by the mob Many Jews were
killed during the disorders in the fol-
lowing cities: Foksh, Keshkersh. Sham

population consists of Slavs and Rou'
