EASTER 1919 IN Bible LANDS

More and more wanderers are
crowding into Jerusalem and the sur
rounding countryside. Relief facih-
ties are being strained to the utmost.
During three years 10000 Jews alone
died in the Holy City, and the Jew
ish race comprises only seven per cent
of the whole population of Palestine.
A cable from Brigadier General G.
r. Storrs, military governor of Jeru-
salem, reads: Jerusalem suffered so
terribly during the great war when
| it was exposed to all the ineptitude
and brutality Of the Turkish govern
ment and was deprived Of the watch
full guardianship of the various Eu-
ropean communities, that the people
are still in a state of weakness and
necessity it is not within the scope
of my government to relieve"
Thousands of the Armenian and
Syrian refugees have found safety in
two large refugee camps established
by the British during the war. One
is at Port Said, Egypt; and the other
is at Bagdad, Persia, where 10000
persons are living in tent-like shell
ters covered with straw. The Amer
ican Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief has taken over the
whole management of these camps,
where heretofore it has been in charge
only Of the industrial work.
Conditions in Jerusalem and other
cities in the Holy Land and Egypt,
however, are not as bad as in the
Eastern mountains, the Caucasus and
the region just south of the Caucasus,
around Mt. Ararat in Armenia, which,

corners Of Persia, Russia and Tur.
tkey." This grand old mountain of an
tiquity, $1,000 feet high, is the one
which the Bible gives as the resting
place of the Ark, upon the abate-
ment Of the flood.
Imperative cablegrams received by
the American Committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief bears witness
to the fearful and unprecedented con-
ditions now obtaining in the Caucasus
and adjoining regions. The unusual

MED thence by her brother, Hon. Elliot
c. Harvey. The deceased lady was in

GOD SEND US MEM

1t is exceedingly easy to become
dismayed over the condition of any
nation today, and America is no eX-
ception to the general fog of depres-
sion and doubt. A generation hence
the course of the worlds present
staggerings will be clearer and our
children and grandchildren will talk
wisely of what is now hidden. Just
at present unrest and confusion of
thought and extravaganza and pig
gishness and coveoutness have pro-
duced a Badlam fit to worry the most
consummate optimist.
Add to all this our national inca
pacity for theory and plan and pro-
gram and you have a conformation
alarming and arresting. 1t is as if we,
a whole nation, hundred millions of
people, were fast approaching a
chasm, without any plan for bridging
the gap and with no concerted effort
to prepare such a plan. There were
various reasons for the failure of the
late labor conference at Washington
One undoubted reason was the all too
evident fact that the country at large
had worked out no basic theory what
ever for the handling of this crucial
problem. There were few animal
instincts on both sides and a plenty
of catch phrases. Of clear, funda-
mental diagnosis and projected rene
dy there was next to nothing.
So we turn with all the greater
thankfullness to the one fact, not d
theory, that has already been amply
demonstrated on the optimistic side.
That is that whenever the emergency
has arisen, when the feet of the peo-
pie have actually reached the chasn,
a man has arisen to lead and COM
n1and and save. There was Ole Han
son in Seattle. There is Calvin Geo.
lidge in Massachusetts. The success
of these two men in the face of a sud
ded and terrible danger is all the more
remarkable for the undramatic record
of each in earlier service of the pub
lie. The times made the man in each
case. Or, rather, there was the latent
capacity for courage and swift
thought in both men, needing only
the occasion to bring them forth
"God send US men" is an old cry of
the people in all ages. No education
of the masses, no wisdome of the head
can ever replace the need of gallant,
single-hearted leadership. We can
thank our stars that here in America
leadership is bred in the blood and
bone of our ambitious, eager youth
and fostered and encouraged by oppor-
tunity and reward as in no other coun-
try. We must not push our luck too
far. We shall, if we are wise, take
heed of the warnings, learn foresight
and plan further ahead. In the mean
time, let US thank God for the men
who have been sent on the stroke of
the hour to save us from our perils.

MRS. KATHARINE SCHOOLEY

On Sunday morning, November 2,
1919, at her home in Mountain Lake
Park, Mrs. Katharine Fitzwater
Schooley, wife of Okey Schooley,
passed peacefully away after beau
tiful christian life extending over the
period of 81 years. months and %
days. She was kind and loving wife
and mother, always cheerful and with
a kind word for everyone. She had
been q sufferer for many years but
without complaint. Her beautiful
disposition still remained with her,
and even to the last. when she knew
the end was approaching and she was
growing weaker every moment, her
life grew sweeter, more cheerful and
hopeful, a model in all the relations in
life. She will be sadly missed. Her
knid and loving husband, her son and
daughter, survive her; also broth
ers and 3 sisters: James and Hen
ry, of Idaho; Albert of Swanton; Mrs.
c. f. Nine, of Dodson; Mrs. Allen
Garlitz Of Cumberland, and Mrs Mary

other relatives and friends. The fun
eral was conducted Nov. 4th at one
o'clock at her home by Rev. Bissell.

The Monroe Doctrine means as
much to America today as it did in
the year 1928, when it was pro-
claimed.
1t is only the narrow-minded Amer
leans, those whose whole thought is
not for American welfare first. who
would relegate it to the scrap heap.
The informed citizen of this great
Republic, the man whose whole
thought and energy is directed toward
a doctrine of America First" is as
much opposed to the destruction or
unnecessary Interpretation of this
doctrine today as he would have been
when it was first proclaimed.

zIHLMAN DEFENDS THE ALE
GANY COUNTY COMMITTEES

Rcsents the Charge that it Failed TO
Get Out the Vote FOR Nice.
Washington, Nov. Congressman
Zihlman's attention was called to an
article which appeared in last Fridays
Baltimore American, in which it was
stated that the vote in Allegany CON-
5y this year was less tran normal,
and Mr.. Zihlman made the following
statement:
with reference TO the story which
appeared in Fridays American, l de-
sire to say that can see no discrep-
ancy in the election returns from Ale
gany county, although if there had
been, l have no doubt that the parties
mentioned in the article would gladly
have claimed credit for same.
''Mr. Nice received 1906 total; Col
onel Woodcock, 1858; Mr.. Armstrong,
4731, and Mr.. Marcy, 4817, so that
5here is not hundred difference in
TIE vote of any of the State candi-
dates.
GAS matter of fact, Mr.. Nice re-
ceived 200 more majority than l did
when l was reelected in 1918. He
received 1000 more majority than did
Mr.. William o. Atwood, our candidate
for Comptroller in 1917; 700 more
than Governor Hughes, our candidate
for President in 1916; and 1000 more
than Senator France, when he was
elected in 1916. He also received 500
more majority than Governor Colds
borough when he was elected in 1911.

on the head of the ticket for the past
eleven years in our county, which is
as far back as l have figures availa-

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND
THE TEST OF TINE

On the forth day of July, 1881,
James Monroe, the fifth president of
the United States died in little
house that still stands at No. 60
Prince street, New York City. Nearly
fifteen years ago the Women's Aux
iliary of the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society placed
tablet upon this modest abode
which bears a tribute in the following
words:
''In this house died James Monroe,
fifth president of the United States,
who proclaimed the Monroe Doctrine
upon which depends the freedom of
the American republics and the SAT-
ETY. of the United States against for
eign aggression"
This little house has stood the test
of time as has the American doctrine
which was born in the heart and mind
of the man who breathed his last
within its walls.
Not at that time or at any time
since has the Monroe Doctrine been
the topic of so much concern at it
is today.
1t has so come to pass that this
muse 10 SVoll W Ee Sold at aucClon
and no doubt the purchaser will raze
its walls to make way for more

While that little house is being
destroyed there are those who are
seeking to destroy the plain worded
doctrine of Monroe.
When reading the inscription upon
the tablet which has stood for nearly
fifteen years there is no mention of
the Monroe Doctrine as regional

There is no intimation that a
league of nations or congress rep
resenting the world is needed to in
