PALESTINE: PICMY LAND
WITH A GIANT HISTORY

The historic Holy Land where moved
the Nazarene whose birth will be COM
memorzted around the world this
week. is characterized as "a tiny lit
tie country" by yiscount James Bryce.
In communication TO the National
Geography society:
Though the travellers hand books
prepare him TO find Palestine small,
Ii surprises him by being smaller than
he expected. Taking Il as the region
between the Mediterranean on the
west and the Jordan and Dead sea on
the east. from the spurs of Lebanon
and HermOn on the north TO the desert
at Beersheba on the south, IL Is only
10 miles long and 90 10 90 broad-that
is to say. it is smaller than New
Jersey.
"Of this region large parts did not
really belong TO ancient Israel. Their
hold on the southern and northern dis
tricts was but slight. while in the
southwest, wide and rich plain along
the Mediterranean was occupied by
the warlike Philistines, who were
sometimes more than a match for the
Hebrew armies. Israel had, in fact,
little more than the hill country, which
lay between the Jordan on the east
and the maritime plain on the west
King David, in the days of his power,
looked down from the hill cities of
Benjamin, just north Of Jerusalem, up
on Philistine enemies, only % miles
off, on the one side. and looked across
the Jordan to Moabite enemies. about
as far off, on the other.
NEARLY all the events In the history
of Israel that are recorded in the Old
Testament happened within a territory
no bigger than the state Of Connect
cut. whose area is 1890 square miles
there been crowded from the days of
Abraham till our own. so much history
that is TO say. so many events that
have been recorded and deserve to be
recorded in the annals of mankind.
'Nor Is 1t only that Palestine is
really small country. The traveller
constantly feels as he moves about
that it is a small country. From the
heights. few miles north Of Jeru-
salem, he sees, looking northward, a
far-off summit carrying snow for eight
months in the year. 1t is Hermon.
nearly 10000 feet high-Hermon,
whose fountains feed the rivers of
Damascus.
But Hermon Is outside the terri
tory of Israel altogether, standing in
the land of the Syrians; so, too, ii is
of Lebanon. We are apt to think of
that mountain mass as within the
country. because it also is frequently
mentioned in the Psalms and the
Prophets; but the two ranges Of Leb-
anon also rise beyond the frontiers
Of Israel. lying between the Syrians of
Damascus and the Phoenicians of the
West.
perhaps 1t is because the maps
from which children used to learn
Bible geography. were on a large SCALE
that most OF us have failed to realize
how narrow were the limits within.
which took place, all those great do
ings that fill the books of Samuel and
Kings. Just in the same way the
classical scholar who visits Greece is
surprised to find that so small q ter
ritory sufliced for so many striking in
cidents and for the careers Of so
many famous men,"

composed of representatives of unions
and the employers was formed yester-
day by the conference committees rep
resenting the railroad corporations

adjustment board of the Railroad Ad-
ministration with respect to the work
ers' claims. Contrary to the union
forecast, the corporation representa-
tives agreed to include these as part
OF the boards wage records and to
employ them, as far as practical, as a
basis, on which to discuss the long
drawn-out controversy.
Reference was made during the con-
ference yesterday to the hearings now
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and the statement was made
that wage increases hinge upon high
er freight rates, which mean more
mands would aggregate an additional

penses was secuted by the union lead
ers. Spokesman asserted that mo liv-

tighter and police reserves from several
precincts. Realizing that the steamship
Northland was in danger. police of the
harbor precinct cut it's lines and towed
the big craft to the channel, where its
regular crew took charge.
Labor day. 1918. the building of the
company and the steamship Newport

fire. The structure was rebuilt, the

William II. Callahan. general man.

thought the loss to the building and

covered by Insurance.
The fire started in locker room on
the second floor. from a cause not yet
determined. 1t was but A few minutes
after il was discovered and an alarm
sounded before it was burning through
the roof. Firemen said ii was one of
the most stubborn conf1agrations they
had ever fought. They succeeded in
confining it to the upper portion of
the building. however. although it
was necessary to drench the lower
portion. None of the company's valu-
able records suffered damage.
Both land and water forces of the
fire department struggled hard in
their efforts to save the building and
prevent the flames from reaching the
freight department. They succeeded
in preventing the cOmDlete deSfruc-
tion of the office building and kept the
blaze from the freight building.
Many of the firemen were driven
from the building by the dense smoke,
