Turkish paper. The colonys funds were gone and German authorities in Jerusa- lem finally ordered their deportation to the north, in order to find an excuse to get hold of the litter of nine pigs which the colony had bought from the needy Russian Hospice There was even less food and more typhus in the north than around Jerusalem, and deportation meant death. Jemei Pasha himself advised the colony that it's end was near, and the $500 which reached them from the United States about this time, seemed to have come too late. The British were approach ing Jerusalem and Jemal Pasha an- nounced that the city would be defended to the bitter end, and that property would doubtless be destroyed in street fighting. Rumors were flying fast, despite the fact that people were afraid almost to whis- per to their own shadows. Thousands of people had mysteriously disappeared, and those who remained visible were eat ing pork when it was available, Jews and Moslems alike.
 Then one night, Jemel Pasha hurriedly requisitioned the colony's two remaining horses. and the colony knew that it had been decided to evacuate Jerusalem and that Jemel Pasha wanted the horses to remove his own effects from the city. Members of the colony were then con ducting hospital for wounded soldiers in the building of the Grand New hoteh inside the walls of Jerusalem. where 12oo men were packed together. They stayed at their posts after the Turks fled, with 4 hours provisions for their 12o0 pa- tients.
 Two days later General Allenby for mally entered Jerusalem.
 .'That." MT Spafford said, was greater day than I shall ever see again Hundreds of persons whom we had not seen for months and whom we had sup posed dead, came out of their hiding places to greet the British. All Jerusa- lem came out of it's hole that day. Al Jerusalem which thad been waiting through the terriblemonths of the war for the British to come. filled our old streets with rejoicing.
 ''It was vertically the Day of Resurrec- tion."

KERENSKY MONEY
 DECLARED MISLED
Step Taken by Omsk Government Be- cause Bolsheviki Issued So
 Many Counterfeits

Tokio, June 2.-Decision by the Omsk government at Siberia to withdraw from circulation the paper money issued by the Kerensky regime has created con- sternation among the Japanese of Vladi- vostok and Harbin, who are large hold CTS of the Kerensky notes. Banks con-
 ducted by Japanese have refused to ac- cept Kerensky notes.
 The Omsk decree affects chiefly the small 20 and 40 rubles notes. For ono month. conversion of the notes was to be conducted at banks. After June 16 the notes were not to be accepted for conversion.
 Japanese manufacturers and business men in Siberia were panic-stricken when the order was issued and sent telegram to the Japanese foreign office asking for help.
 Dawn, a Russian newspaper, published at Omsk, explains that the measure Of v ithdrawal was taken to save the money situation in Russia which was going from bad to worse. It says that the ker- J ensky note exclusion bill aims at pro tecting the country from being flooded
 with bolshevik and bogus Kerensky bills,
 at the same time suppressing specula- tion in ruble notes. The newspaper de-
 clares that the Kerensky paper has been
 issued by the bolshevik soviets far be-
 yond the limits of discretion, the total
 amount issued being estimated at 9.0o0. .oOo

|DEAL|STS FROM AMERICA CONDUCT
 GROWING COLONY
 MOLD JERUSALEM
Living the Bible, They Are Communists, But Are Sue cessful and Not PrOpa- gandists-Tired of
 Civilization
By CLAIR PRICE

Jerusalem, June 16. (SpeciaL) Three-quarters of a mile from the Damascus gate, out on the snow-white road that leads to Nablus and Damas- GUS. is one of the most curious bits of American life which you will find any where. It has been there since 1881, although during the war it would have starved to death had not an anonymous person in the United States asked the state department in 1917 to find out whether the American colony at Jeru- salem is in need of funds" The tele- gram of inquiry which finally reached the little colony was followed by $500, and the colony was enabled not only to buy enough food to keep it's own soul and body together, but to feed and doctor hundreds of straving Arabs who, according to the Arabian custom, had placed themselves under it's protection.
 Today the colony is back on its feet again. .
 Since the day of reconstruction, 1t has stepped from the darkness of the war into the light that followed Brit ish occupat tion. Today it sees it's way clearly in front of it.
 The little American colony store, just inside the Jaffa gate of Jerusalem has reopened. The nine pigs for which the colony paid the Russian Hospice $100 in 1917 have multiplied into 127 pigs, and there are no Germans about to de- port the colony into the north and into the wilderness in order to get their pigs. The colony's dependent Arabs have dwindled to 15o in number, which leaves the colony little time to put in on the garden of rare flowers which fills its courtyard with clusters of blue and red violet.
 The colony is communistic settle ment. conducted with no officers on a strictly communistic basis Of all the American experiments in communism, it is probably the most successful. It has a history of 3S years of property ferences tried by the assembled mem bers. It began with the migration of 19 Americans from Chicago via Quebec, Liverpool, Brindisi Qtaly) and Jaffa (Palestine) to small khan, or inn, on the site the colony occupies at pres ent. They were bound together only by their common belief that the essence of religion consisted in loving ones neighbor as ones self.
 Today the colony has grown to a membership of 90. It consists of 20 children, 30 men and 40 women. Twelve nationalities and IS Protestant denominations are numb cred in its membership, but their actuating belief is still the same, namely, that the gold of, religion is love of one's neighbor and that all else in religion is dross

Confirming Sentences in Berlin

Berlin, June 7.-Question has been raised here as to what authority under the Prussian law, shall confirm the verdict of the military court which convicted several persons of the mur- der of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Lux embourg.

PLACUE OF LOCIJSTS


 In 1915, Palestine experienced a plague of locusts which was worse than any, thing 1t had experienced since the colony s establishment The crops on the colony's g little farm were eaten off as only locusts can eat them off, and utter devastation was left behind. Gardens which one day were green and rich, were nothing but yellow sand on the following day.
 The colony began digging into it's bank account to keep itself alive. The capf- tulations had been rescinded and 1t had already lost much of it's property to the Turks. Throughout the near east, before the war, foreigners had been answerable not to the Turkish authorities, but to their own consuls. But when these capitulations on the part of the local authorities were withdrawn, Turkish of ficials swept down on all foreigners liv- ing under their Jurisdiction and took swift revenge on them for their years of immunity. Furniture and beds were pulled out of foreigners houses, without so much as a knock at the door. The colony was, however, well known to Jemel Pasha, in command at Jerusalem. and at first he took only two of their four horses, saving the other two for his own purposes when he should need them most.
 In 1916, a plague of typhus swept down on Jerusalem from the north and again the colony was nearly snuffed out Thousands of natives Hooked to it for aid. None was turned away, however. By some hook or crook, the colony man. aged to extend medical help to all who applied to it. This was largely because the colony itself was one of the health fest spots in or about Jerusalem. When the German emperor made his theatrical entry into Jerusalem in 1898, German doc tors who accompanied him to examine into the healthfulness of Jerusalem gave ,the colony a clean bill of health. When German doctors, sent to Jerusalem by the German empress during the war; made an examination of the city, taking 1S,0o0 drops of blood from the ear-lobes of 1S.- 900 natives, one of them took 75 drops of blood at the colony. He found condi- tions so healthful that the members of the colony were using no quinine and sleeping without netting. and he found no malaria in any of the 75 drops of blood he took at the colony.
 In 1917, Turkish money had sunk to one-sixth it's normal value. Provisions could be bought only for gold and six Turkish pounds in paper were required for one pound gold. This was the last straw Money went rapidly when there was lit- tie but paper in the land and bread could be bought only at six times its wartime price, by those who could only offer
