sembly
The Constitution is hailed as a pos
sible rallying ground for all the mod
crate elements of the population ind
as probably terminating the rather
chaotic conditions prevailing SINCE the
revolution. Its adoption at moment
when the food problem Is growing
easier through foreign imports gives
grounds for hope that the extremist
agitators henceforth gradually will
lose their influence over the radical
elements of the working people.
A Socialist public speaker declares
he already has seen an Improvement
in the temper of the workmen, due to
better feeding, and he believes the ex-
tremists are losing their hold upon
them. 1t is thought that with Con-
stitution SO democratic and permitting
unlimited application Of the states
power upon the economic and social life
of the people, the present government
is comparatively secure from attacks

he German newspapers are carrying

the German newspapers are carrying
advertisements which say that recruits
for the Home Guards no longer arc
required to take an oath to defend the
country against invasion. In American
circles it is said that the abolition OF
this pledge obviously is result Of
Noske's new plan, for if some Of the
guards were boand by such an oath
they would clearly be prohibited under
the terms of Article 1T of the peace
treaty. Noske's effort now is to have
these organizations filled as best he
can, and for this reason the pledge
had to be discarded.
An American army bulletin com
ment on the change of the guard to
police reserves says:
This is the first confession that
such a pledge had been taken by the
Home Guards. 1t confirms suspicion
that the Home Guards were intended TO
be great reserve army, and justifies
further suspicion of the Home Guards
under their new guise Of civil police
reserves"

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-12-19

for some time an rumor which al
ways has free field in Jewish circles
has been busy. The truth is that he
has been very slightly concerned with
Palestine. He has far greater worries
on his mind at present for it is no
secret that whatever may be the sat-
isfaction of Great Britain and France
with their recent agreement regarding
the Near East this satisfaction is not
shared by Feisul. The interview with
him which was published at the begin
ming Of last month Of course aroused
little interest but It was not taken
very much to heart. The slight import
ance that it did enjoy was dissipated
when it was ascertained that his
statement had been obtained, shall we
say by a misunderstanding? Feisul
was told that the Zionist policy was
the immediate creation Of Jewish
state in Palestine. He naturally re-
piled that this was not in accordance
with the views that had been commun-
icated to him by DR.. Weitzmann and
other responsible Zionists. But when
he was assured in return that never
theless this was so, just as naturally
he replied that he could not agree to
this. He would be no party to the gov
eminent of 100000 Arabs by 10000
Jews. Feisul might well have been told
that Zionists too would be no party to
such an arrangement. Hitherto Zion
ism has stood for political justice.
Even amid the intoxication Of success
it is to be hoped that we will keep
that ideal before us.

RED CROSS ISSUES

Serious Shortage OF Women in the

Recruiting Effort.

Recruiting Effort.
A call to young women between 10
and 35 years Of age is being issued by
the Red Cross in an effort to fill the
gaps in the ranks Of the nations nurs-
ing personnel. Red Cross officials in
touch with the nursing situation point
out that a serious shortage Of nurses
exis.s at time when, as never before,
there is an unprecedented number Of
calls for trained women in the nurs-
ing field.

ment OF a cooperative company
among the present colonista them
selves for that purpose. The possibili-
ties of sugar growing and sugar man.
ufacture might also be investigated
and if the result of the investigation
gives promise one of the Jewish sugar
kings might be persuaded to translate
theory into practice. It is quite posi-
bic for the foundation of such a sugar
industry to be laid without awaiting
the decision of the Peace Conference.
Then again the Organization can as
certain how many bricklayers, how
many laborers, how many agricultural
directors, etc., will be required wher-
ever the country is thrown open and
can arrange with its agents in the
different centers of the Diaspora for
the required man power to be ready
to start for Palestine on the day on
which the gates are opened. Another
project on which work or at least
thought can be commenced Immediate
ly is that Of harbor at Haifa. On
this matter the only thing that is at
present certain is that such harbor
is necessity and without doubt the
protecting government within few
months of entering office will decide
whether such a harbor is to be built
by the state or by private enterprise,
and, if the latter, the conditions that
will be attached to the grant of the
necessary concession. The Zionist Or
ganization need not wait, however, to
make up its mind whether if the state
decides not to build the harbor itself
it, the Organization, would prefer to
do so presumably by means of some
subsidiary company or to leave the
matter to private initiative.
In either event there is much pre-
liminary work that can be done. If the
organization wishes to carry out the
work the nucleus of the necessary
company could be got together at
once, nucleus of course that does not
involve any considerable expenditure.
In the other event steps should be TAX
en- to interest Jewish capitalists who
would undertake the work. In either
event, even if the Covenant itself
undertakes to do the work, labor will
be required. 1t is essential that this
labor shall be Jewish. To secure this
labor it is by no means too soon to
complete the necessary plans.
Whether the Central Government
itself, the Zionist Organization, or pri-
vate individuals build the harbor at
Haifa it is certain that the Central
Government will make it an absolute
condition that the work shall be COM
menced in earnest by an early date. To
carry out this condition labor will
have to be available without unreason-
able delay.
Another work, good part Of which
can be done in advance Of the grant Of
the mandate, is the organization Of
Jewry for self government in cultural
matters. This work / have every rea-
son to believe is not being neglected
but It may we'll be completed to the
smallest pin during the next six
months. II the Jews Of Palestine show
themselves fully competent to govern
themselves in all cultural matters the
protecting power will be speedily en-
couraged to grant them powers Of ad-
ministration in matters which cannot
be described as cultural. In this man.

y :
Cross, st. Louis, 1--WE could place 800
public health nurses in communities
throughout Missouri, Kansas, Texas
Arkansas and Oklahoma we had
them. But that's the trouble. We
haven't them. The hospitals cannot
spare any members Of their present
forces. They are shorthanded enough
as it is.
1.-THE shortage results from the fact
that decreasing number Of girls are
entering the nurses training schools
over the country. Young women are
not being attracted to the profession
in sufficient numbers to supply the
demand for nurses. Three such prom
inent schools as Johns Hopkins, the
MASSACHUSETTS, General and the ILL
nois Training School for Nurses are
this year not only without waiting
lists, but lacking the usual number Of
entrants. Graduation as qualified
nurses Of young women who have not
received adequate training contributes
to the shortage Of Red Cross public
health nurses Red Cross nurses are
called upon to come up to somewhat
higher qualifications than the average,
amounting in general to about six
months post graduate work in some
accredited school.
"Young girls who wish to become
nurses should, / think, be warned to
select a good accredited training
where all-around practical as well as
theoretical experience may be OBJ
tanned.
"Much prejudice against the nurs-
ing profession EXISTS where, as .
matter of truth, it has no foundation
in fact. Some girls complain that the
three years. preliminary course is too
long. They labor under the erroneous
impression that probationary and pu-
pill nurses are compelled to do mental
Understanding foors-and all that
sort of thing. Well, there's nothing
to that.
an the better schools the nurses
life constantly is being made more at
tractive. More opportunities for So
cial pleasures are being offered; social
directors are being appointed in the
better training institutes and the
work-day is being shortened to eight
hours. The usual three-year course
is being shortened, too, in that during
the last six months pupil nurse may
select specialized work. Girls wish
ing to become Red Cross public health
nurses, for instance, may select such
work to specialize in and from gradua-
ton may Immediately qualify as Red
Cross nurses without further study.
"Then there is one advantage to be
found in the fact that so many spec
cialized branches of nursing are open
to the girl who becomes a qualified
nurse. She does not have to remain
the ordinary bedside nurse. She can
take up public health or social service
work, or become instructor in some
school or college. The position Of hos
pital superintendent in charge Of
training school for nurses is open to
her. t.efta

!, So many months have passed since
the question of Palestine was last un-
der the consideration of the Peace
Conference and in the interval so
many, surmises and rumors have got
about that a statement Of the exact
situation of the Palestine question to-
day may well serve a useful purpose.
The Five Great Powers have agreed
that PaleNtine shall be set aside for
the experiment of the recreation Of
the Jewish nation, that is to say of
nation in the full sense, of people
rooted to its own soil. These powers
have also agreed that this experiment
shall be made under the protection and
direction of Great Britain. This is all
that has been decided. But it is great
deal; it is, one may say, every thing
that the Zionists can in reason ask for
at this stage. q. 49,.
Questions Yet to Be Settled.
There are other questions which, al
though of no little Importance, are yet
details still to be settled. Such are
the limits Of the Palestine wherein the
Zionists, the Jews are to be given
their chance; the exact relationship
between the protecting government
and the organized Jewish population
Of the country and also the mutual re-
lationship between the Jewish and non
Jewish populations. The question of
boundaries will have to be settled be-
fore the great experiment can be fair
ly started but this is matter primar-
lily for France and Great Britain to de-
eide so far as the north is concerned
and Great Britain herself after taking
into, consideration the views Of the
Jews and the Arabs, so far as the
east. These decisions however, must
await the formal grant Of the mandate
Of the Peace Conference which in its
turn is dependent on the Treaty with
Turkey. a9, @ - e,l'
ss1 What Can Be Done Now.
The material Jewish regeneration
Of Palestine cannot be definitely COM
menced in earnest until the status of
the country is finally settled, but a
good deal Of preliminary work can
nevertheless be undertaken, so that
the moment the Peace Conference
opens the portals of the land the prac-
teal work Of recreating a Jewish Pal
estine may begin. This preliminary
work can be done both in Palestine and
in the Diaspora and the friendline# Of
the Provisional Administration must
prove a valuable assistance in the
planning Of the lines on which the
new Jewish Palestine is to be laid.
As an instance Of what is practical
bic today may mention The industrial
survey Of the country. For instance
one need wait for no decision Of the
Peace Conference TO ascertain the pos
abilities Of fruit and vegetable pre-
serving industry and II such an indus
try is found TO be practicable to inter-
est Jewish capitalists in the establish
ment Of such an industry either as in
dividuals or in a syndicate, or alter

Large Enrolment
 In Boys Pig Clubs

THE boys pig and corn clubs in
 0 Alabama were popular last year and they are still more popular now. They made a notable record in 1918 and the greater the membership in these clubs, the greater the enthus- iasm in the work of food production.
 Through the efforts of the exten- sion service 187 boys and girls en- rolled themselves recently in Il diff ferent clubs in Henry county. Great earnestness characterized the meet ings of the clubs, and as an evidence of the general interest manifested in this branch of agricultural progress many farmers were in attendance, all though they were busy planting corn and cotton.
 There should be corn and pig club in every farming community of Ala hama, and there will be, judging from the activity of county superintendents and demonstration agents and the readiness of farm boys to cooperate in all movements to increase the food supplies and add to the wealth of the lState
