just before throwing in the clutch at
the crossroads In response to the
young woman's crisp command to

Eight men were sick with It, how.

Major o. L. Pothier, a New Orleans

SEE FUTURE FOR PALESTINE
Land by No Means the Barren Waste
That 1t Has Beer consideree
by Many

Most of the world is content to
regard Palestine as a desert and de-
void Of promise. But study of the
country made by English statistlei-
ans since the war began leads to
some disclosures that tend to dis
prove prevalent beliefs that Pales-
tine is little better than barren
waste. As a matter of fact, this land
of the Prophets and Of the begin
nings of Christianity was one OF the
few provinces of the Turkish empire
where economic activities were pur-
sued with energy and success. This
is brought out effectively by COM
pairing Turkish trade as whole
with that Of Palestine. Before the
war the imports of Turkey amount
ed annually to some S243,325,ooo,
which for a population of 25.0o0,-
600 amounted, roughly, to sic a
head. The trade of Palestine alone,
with population of $4,000, which
flowed through the ports OF JANA
and GAIA, totaled some S12 ,166,s5o-
This gives some $50 head of the
population. According to these same
statisticians while Palestine may not
become a land flowing with milk
and honey. still its possibilities are
encouraging.
