and when night came down upon the
sea and the steerage was stepped in
darkness they gathered round and
sang Hebrew songs with lusty re.
frain. At first their songs were of
the days of oppression and exile they
were leaving behind, of the poverty
and pathos of the Ghetto and all it's
old-world piety-songs of ineffable
sadness, in a haunting minor key.
But soon they burst forth into ro-
bust and lifting chorus, proclaiming
the redemption of the Land of Israel
and heralding the dawn of new and
glorious age. And as their strong
young voices, in resonant concord,
floated in bold crescendo across the
sea, I could hear in them not only
the accent of the pioneers but the
march of the conquerors.

Mr.. S. Landman, the Political Sec
rotary of the Zionist Organization,
has just arrived back in London, af-
ter a tour in Palestine, where he has
gathered many interesting impress
sions of the country as it is today,
and encouragement for the hope of
it's future peace and prosperity.
"My impression of the country is
an excellent one," said Mr.. Landman,
in an interview with representative
of the Jewish Correspondence Bu-
reau. "The beauty of Palestine is al
ready sufficiently known and praised
by all visitors. l can add my own
tribute to the wonderful impression
made by the scenery of Galilee, for
instance, when the setting sun colors
the mountainsides.
GIN the course Of my mission had
to travel extensively, especially in the
north, and 1 passed miles upon miles
of land that was entirely uncultivated,
or very nearly so. There appears
ample scope for large additional
population to settle, without disturb
ing any of the existing inhabitants.
The land is waiting for the people.
$50 far as / came into contact with
the local Arab population, l found
them extremely friendly. They seemed
somewhat unaccustomed to being adj
dressed in friendly spirit. This is
probably due to their having been OPP
pressed for centuries. The state of
civilization among them is very back
ward. My heart bled to see the way
in which the women and children were
neglected. There is plenty of scope
for the work of social reformers and
educationists. The hospitals estab-
lished by Jewish effort have already
begun to educate the population in
personal hygiene, but very much
more remains to be done in this direc-
ton.
among my many recollections,
two stand out chiefly. One is the
charm of the little children prattling
in Hebrew in all the Jewish centers.
Another is the attractive sight of the
young Palestinian men and women,
who are physically extremely well
developed, and who live a healthy,
open-air life which has quite obliter-
ated all traces of the Ghetto bend
A large number of the young men are
volunteers in the Jewish regiment or
in the special mounted police.
81 do not anticipate that the new
government will find serious opposi-
tion from the Arab inhabitants. All
but very small sprinkling are tired
of war conditions and are only too
pleased if they are left alone. They
will obey the new laws very meekly,
and when they begin to realize that
the day of the corrupt tax-gatherer,
who bled them white to fill his own
pockets, has come to an end, they are
sure to become whole-hearted sup
porters of the government and the
policy by which they themselves bene-
fit. For many centuries the local pop
ulation has been under the heel of

young friend of mine has been tied
to the bed at night by his father
so that he might not escape. But all
these attempts to stop us only in

young girl, still under twenty, of a
rich family in Lemberg, who made
UP her mind to go to Palestine, so
her parents took her photograph to
the authorities and begged them not
to give her a passport. She there
fore got somebody else's passport,
pawned some of her jewelry, and
reached Vienna. There, as she was
without money, she went to an aunt
for assistance, but the aunt had al
ready received a telegram from the
parents begging her not to help the
girl in her intention but to send her
back home. But the girl would not
listen to the idea of returning home,
so at last her parents relented and
the happy girl was enabled to COM
plete her journey to Palestine"
"Perhaps I shall meet her there"
remarked comely but rather pensive
and bashful girl, who had hitherto re-
manned silent.
care you also going to work on the
land?" I asked, looking at her frail
figure.
"No, 1 am going to prepare home
for my parents. | come from Plnsk,
where life has now become torture
under the Poles. Several of the thir-
ty-fve Jews who were massacred
there last year by the Polish soldiery
were personal friends of mine. Yes,
I have bitter memories of my native
town. And, oh, the journey from
Pinsk to Warsaw! Never shall l for
get it. The poor Jews were abused,
assaulted and robbed all the way
on the road or in the train, it was all
the same. I had more annoyance and
suffering on that short journey from
Pinsk to Warsaw than on the whole
of my long travel from Warsaw to
Trieste. And the Poles are such a
cultured people!"
"That is why l also came away"
interjected lean and haggard elder
ly Jew, clutching his grizzled beard
with his right hand. II went back to
Cracow to see my children. But do
you think would wait until the Poles
had plucked out my beard? May
they not live to such day!'
"And what will you do in Eretz
Israeli" asked, surveying his weak
and stunted figure.
"What 1 did before, I lived there
before the war, too."
"But howl" I continued.

the young men.
"Nu, for Kiddush and Habdoloph a
good Jew must drink little" re-
torted the greybeard.
The pioneers had touched upon one
of the weaknesses of the old man, a
rather undignified yet somewhat pa
thetic and picturesque representative
of the early settlers in the Holy Land,
whom they frequently bantered about
his foible.
"But don't think" said one of the
more serious members of the group,
"that we are going simply as fugi-
tives from persecution, for then we
should go to other countries where all
comforts and conveniences are ready.
No, we are willing to work in the
sweat of our brow, for we wish to

willing to facilitate my journey. Well,
we went without visas, and some even
without passports, and as we had to
avoid frontier gendarmes and other
disagreeable obstacles we did a good
part of our journey on foot. Never
shall I forget our climb across the
Carpathians, that was a tramp. We
were tempted at many spot on the
road to begin singing the Hatikvah
to cheer UP, but were afraid we should
attract the attention OF the guards.

alities welcome you.
"But some of us were not so lucky
as that" observed broad-shouldered1
Young fellow, whose spectacles and
ascetic face told of the studlous days
he had lived -Four of us who had
no passports were arrested on the
frontier by the Czechs, who kept, us
in prison for couple of weeks. They
called us jestingly

mental and filthy work. Still, we got

that we came to a place in Bohemia,

Smoke Screens to Help Martians See
 Earth's Activities

Bryn Mawr, Pa., Feb. 24.-Use o1 the governments surplus of smoke making material left over from the war in signalling Mars was suggested today by James J. Crenshaw, asso- ciate professor of chemistry at Bryn Mawr college, who served in the chemical warfare section of the American expeditionary forces Smoke screens hundreds of miles in width, he believes, would be more likely to be discerned by possible Martians than the geometrical de- signs which Sir Oliver Lodge sug- gested be laid out on the Sahara des- ert.
 The government has enough smoke making material to create screen or spot on the earth and this ma terial can be used for no other pur- pose, Professor Crenshaw said. He advocated covering an area as big as the state of Pennsylvania with either black or white smoke.
