Jerusalem's First Mayor

1t Nathan Straus, New York's diStln-
guished merchant and philanthropist,
wishes to be the first Mayor of Nru-
salem, let us hope it will not be
deemed an unwarranted intrusion in the
politics of another community to ex-
press a wish for the qualification of his
ambition
Mr.. Straus, by long life Of service
to this community, has earned right
to take a series of sabbatical years to
devote himself to new usefulness, while
being carried on our rolls as a citizen
emeritus. In Jerusalem, which his bene-
factions long ago reached and where his
name is deemed blessed by those who
have suffered during the long night, he
will surely be welcomed. 1t would .be
of good omen to have as the first magis-
trate of the new Zion one whose thought
was not to get something for himself
or for hangers-cn.
1t has been the habit, and is still
the habit, of some to smile incredu-
lously at the Zionist ideal. But it's ad-
herents were never as many as now.
1t is a fact of history that one group of
the dispersed of Judea, even though
living in plenty and honor in Babylon,
were moved to go to the ancient site,
then as much mess of PROSTATE brick
as Verdun, and did recreate the city and
rebuild the Temple. Thus was rebuked
the polite derisiveness of the best cir
cles of Babylon.
Even though Jerusalem becomes no
great capital in commerce and popula-
ton, it will have power as spiritual
capital of sort much needed by an
unquiet world

"A Disgusting Farce'

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Having had my second gold stripe
for some time, and with chances of getting
third one, l would like to ask few ques-
tions which up to the present time have
not been answered by any one over here.
I should like to know why our eminent
Secretary Baker published the statement
that all National Army men would be out Of
France by July l, 1919? In the organza-
ton that l am part of Ga very humble part
at tha) there at least 5000 n A. men,
and n good share wearing wound stripes

and have no chance of being relieved until
our Allies, France it seems in particular.
get over the Hun scare Why should we
men, who we're drafted (many volunteered,
but were turned down until the big lottery
came), be made to remain here while thou
sands OF French soldiers going around
Tree; while there are regular army men
who never saw service in the A. E. F. still
in the states; while there are volunteers
for service over there? Why not let those
men come over and relieve US? We did our
bit before the 18th of November, 1918. and.
believe me, since that day we have done it
doubly so.
One more thing. There are men in these
companies who are married and can't get
out because of mo requirements avail

putting it mildly. The P. WIS do nothing
while on the job, they know peace is

The British Ratification

In closing his address urging the rati-
tication Of the Versailles treaty Lloyd
George brought back wandering debate
to & main point by saying that the treaty
would stand as "a lighthouse in the deep
and a warning to nations and rulers of
nations against the peril which the Ger
man Empire shattered itself against"
Peace and hopes of peace! There is
more assurance of world safety in the
record of what happened to Germany
than in all the paper agreements. To
the degree that there is demonstration
that aggressive war does not pay the
world has gained but lacking this vital
slight value.
Punishment, not to punish, but to
deter-here is a principle the British
Premier never allowed to become con-
fused in his mind. He secured that
which he sought, and at the same time
was party to the closing of no door
to peace based on good will rather than
on the fears of the wicked. In details
Lloyd George has been inconsistent, but
for five years he has little wavered as
to fundamental matters Many re-
GREETED the departure of Asquith, but
despite his great gifts and sound pur-
pose would he have displayed the grit
and see-it-through-righ spirit of his sue
cessor?
Not wearying in we'll doing, the House
of Commons by unanimous vote ap
proved of the insurance treaty for the
defence of France, Great Britain thus
showing as much alertness concerning
the future as she has shown determina-
ton in the past
