institution in Palestine should be
deprived of its support because its
methods and curriculum is not the
kind any particular Individual or
group do not like, but that none
should receive support unless it
used the Hebrew language as the
language of instruction.
The situation of the Jewish
Legion in Palestine was also re-
ferred to, showing that reports of
harsh treatment of the Legion
aires, were unfounded, and showing
that even if their conditions were
disagreeable and unpleasant, that
the Zionist Organization had no
jurisdiction over them, since they
were not Jewish army, but were
part of the British army, and sub
ject solely to its Jurisdiction, and
receiving the same treatment as all
other British soldiers. The general
satisfaction of the treatment of the
Legionaires by the Zionist Organi-
cation is shown by the request
of over one-half of the 200 Ameri-
can boys in Palestine to be allowed
to remain.
The structure Of Palestine. as
Jewish state, depends on the Jew
ish people. Everyone must prepare
to sacrifice in time, money and COM
fort. The mobilizing Of men will
soon commence for work in Pa1es-
tine. No man knows how soon the
call will come for him to go to Pal
estine. -, ,- .. .-., ~,.
Upon conclusion of the report by
Mr.. Fromenson, a general discus
sion of the Zionist situation took
place, touching largely on the
breach caused by the Misrachi or
ganization, during which it was re-
ported that the Misrachi had not
only demanded $4,000, but had de-
manded the larger sum of over
100000 for organization work in
the United States. The efforts of
the leaders of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America to keep the Mis-
rachi within the organization, for
the benefit of the general cause of
Zionism, granting various demands,
was also related The discussion
lasted until six o'clock, when the
chairman limited same to three
minute talks.

sum of s2000, and he did it. So he

NEW YORK CITY
Day-By-Day.
By O. O. MCINTYRE

New York, Sept. a.
For the life of me.
I cannot understand.
Why New York ha. SO many.
Bored looking women.
You see them riding.
Around In carriages.
And limousines.
In the public parks.
And on the avenue.
And at the opera.
And their main business.
In life 1t seems.
Is just to look bored.
And they are generally.
Uglier than all get-out.
And they are daubed.
And smeared with paint.
And carry lorgnettes.
And the few times.
That they try to smile.
You would think.
They had Just tasted.
A sour Ash or something.
And when they see.
A pretty young girl.
They lift their Iorsnettes.
AS much as to say.
What an awful creature.
And when they meet anyone,
That they have to speak to.
They lift a languid hand.
And look exactly like.
They had just swallowed.
A prohibition cocktail.
Maid of hair oil.
Bath salts.
Or anything lying around.
The old bathroom.
with a touch of alcohol.
Poor ephemera.
Living their little day.
Blind leading the blind.
And falling into.
q The ditch OF bigotry.
If they would just,
Come down of their perch.
And go to the movies.
And chew a little gum.
And play a little rum.
Or scrub the back porch.
They would soon find.
That this is indeed.
A pretty fair world.
As worlds go.
At any rate.
It's the best we got.
