our country relapsing into the quics-

FACTS CONCERNING TIE PRO
TEST DEMONSTRATION BY
ARABS IN JERUSALEM A MONTH
AGO AGAINST HANDING PAL
ESTINE OVER TO THE JEWS.

The widely heralded anti-Iionist
demonstration in .Jc ,rsalem on Feb
ruary 2Sth by the Arab population of
Palestine was n complete fiasco. nc
oOrding to details just received by the
Zionist Organization of America. The
large crowds that lined the streets
of the Holy City on That day were
composed mainly of Jewish spectators
who watched the less than 100 demon
strators wend their way to the Amer
lean. French and Italian consulates to
present their protest against handing
Palestine back to the Jews.
The demonstrators were composed of
members of two Arab nationalist
clubs. "Hardi FL Arabi' and Ham
lmtada Al Hadi." the Islamo-Christian
Societies and 20 pupils of an Arabic
private school. The great masses of
Arabs who were reported rs making
pilgrimage to Jerusalem from all
over the Holy Land. dwindlcd to seven
pilgrims from GAIA. The only other
villagers who participated were those
who happened to he in the city mt the
time and followed the crowd. Even
the villagers under the control of 10
cal Effendi who had ordered delcga'
lions to he sent. RETAINED from par
ticipating.
The Greek schools Of Jerusalem de-
clined invitations to Join in the pro
test demonstration. and the Armenian
community in declining similar in
vitation declared that Our fatherland
| is another country and we cannot par
| ticipate in demonstration against the
Jews who suffer like ourselves.
The Palestine "Daily Mali publish
ed an article declaring that the dem
onstration was "a most effective re
pudiation of all who boast in the name
of the Arabic people and read into il
expressions of their own Thought. 1t
proved that this movement is manu-
featured and artificial. and that the
Arabic people desire Jewish immigrn-
ton as also beneficial to themselves"
Many Arab journalists 'dcplorc the
demonstration. and the writers who
participated made clear by their lag
ging footsteps and the distance be-
tween themselves and the main body
that they were doing so against their
better Judgment.

tionalist paper sharply criticizes the

demonstrators at 1000 ana Is indig-

An Election Mystery

Some millions of American men and
women went to the polls on the End
and came away under the impression
that they have voted either for SEN
ator Harding or Governor Cox for
president.
What they have done is to have
voted for a certain group of electors.
1t is these men, 81 of them, who really
cast the votes that elect a president.
And 266 votes will accomplish that.
The reason folks know "who is elect
ed" before they go to bed on election
night, is that it is absolutely certain
just how each group of presidential
electors in each State will vote if
chosen.
For 124 years no presidential
elector among some 10000, more or
less, has even violated that under
standing.
The successful groups of electors
meet in the Capitol on the second
Monday in January and cast the votes
of their States for president and vice
president. Then these votes will be
sealed up and sent to the President of
the United States Senate, Vice Presi-
dent Thomas R. Marshall. On We'd
nesday, February 9, 1921, the vice
president, in the presence of the Sen
ate and the House of Representatives,
will open the ballots and count them,
and report the result to the joint ses-
sion.

Chemistry In War

The important part played by chem
istry in the world war was strongly
emphasized by Lord Moulton at a
meeting of the Society of Dyers and
Colorists held recently at Bradford,
England. He made himself response
BILE for the statement that the whole
of the war was based on German
Chemistry and that for the triumphs
of the German chemists the fighting
must have been over in four or five
months. Despite the fact that the
Germans could not import a ton of
nitrate because England ruled the
seas, they made their nitrates at
home and had all they needed.
In sharp contrast with this state of
affairs was the position in Great Bril-
tain. When Lord Moulton looked
around the country for chemical fac
tories in which to make explosives and
later to make toxic gases, he found a
terrible dearth of works suitable for
organic chemistry and had to begin al
most out of the new. Such conditions
he said, must never be allowed to oc-
cur again, and n way to prevent it
was to recognize that the dyeing in
dustry is really a branch of chemistry
and to establish a closer union be-
tween the dyers and the general body
of chemists. He laid it down as a tru-
ism that in the next war that nation
which has the chemical industries
capable of supplying it's needs will
have the greatest advantage.
There is reason to believe that the
United States Government learned at
an early stage after it's entrance into
the war the truth which Lord Moulton
found it necessary to drive home to
his British audience. The research
work in chemistry done in numerous
laboratories throughout this country
was highly creditable, and it is gen.
orally believed that had the war con-
tinued a few months longer some
gigantic surprises in that line were in
store for the enemy. Now that we
are on a peace, or at least a near
peace footing, it is to be hoped that
there will be no relaxation of effort
and that the good work of experiment
tation and invention will be kept up.
There is no surer way to prevent war
than at every point to be well pre-
pared for it should it come.-Wash-
Post.

Pilgrim Worthy of Honor

Gone is the ancient pear tree, and
no trace remains of the mulberry tree
planted by Cardinal Wolsey, under the
welcome shade of which Sir Edwyn
Sandys sat in the long summer days
of 1875 at Scrooby manor, but Pill
grims in England in 1920 need not
neglect to raise their hats to the me-
mory of Elder Brewster at his one
time home, because special arrange
ments have been made for escorting
parties to the haunts of Pilgrim
Fathers during the tercentenary year.
All the Fathers made great sacrifices,
but one will be tempted to think that
William Brewster made perhaps
more than most when one sees the
ruins of his palatial home he left.
Traces of the moat still exist, and
some of the great carved beams can be
found in stables and cowsheds nearby.
The size of the house can be realized
when it is remembered that it was
large enough to shelter Margaret
Tudor and her entire retinue on her
royal procession to Scotland-Chris-

Plan League of Brains

The League of Nations News Blu
reau of the League to Enforce Peace,
announced that scientists, educators
and men of letters throughout the
world have been asked to consider an
organization of "the worlds intel
lectual work." a sort of League of
Brains to function in connection with
the League of Nations.
The plan is the idea of the French
Association for the League of Ma
lions, and came to this country in a
communication from P. Apple, rector
of the University of Paris and Chair
man of the Associations Executive
Council.
"The proposal" says the statement,
"contemplates the formation, as a
permanent department of the League
of Nations, of an organization for
intellectual intercourse and educa-
tion,' like that in existence for labor.
The authors believe that such an or
g~anization will give the work of the
League both permanency and power by
promoting more intimate and active
interchange of ideas, impressions,
scientific studies, moral improve
ments and literary and scientific pub
locations, a wider diffusion of langu-
ages and an increased frequency of
mission and congresses and interna-
tional intercourse of every kind

Pro-League Fight To Be Carried On

The Pro-League Independents, of
which Professor Irving Fisher of Yale
is the Chairman, in a statement last
Monday announced that the fight for
a League of Nations carried on thru
the Presidential campaign would not
be dropped.
However the result of the election
may be interpreted" the statement
said, "the fight for a League of Ma
lions, which was the reason for being
cf the Pro-League Independents, will
go on, according to the decision reach
ed by those interested in the move
ment. The question of continuing the
organization was discussed Saturday
afternoon at a luncheon at the Hotel
Commodore a few hours after the re-
turn to New York of the party of Pro-
League speakers who left the city in a
special car on October 18 on a trans
continental speaking tour in the in
terest of the League and Governor
Cox.
at was decided to form a committee
of three, with Professor Fisher at
their head, to confer with leaders of
other Pro-League organizations, and
particularly with the t~hirty-one Re-
publican signers of the ante-election
statement which vouched for the adj
herence of Mr.. Harding to the League
idea, in order 10 develop concerted ac-
ton favorable to the ratification by
the Senate of the Treaty of Peace in
the December session of Congress. 1t
was the consensus of those at the
luncheon that the question of the
League is not a partisan and that
the organized friends of the League
of whatever shade of political belief
should unite to work for its adoption
and particularly through the Pro-
League Republicans. a..
"Those present at the luncheon were
Professor and Mrs. Fisher, Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., Herbert Houston,
Mrs. ]. Malcolm Forbes, of Boston;
Miss Margaret Prescott Montague,
Arthur Millbury, Miss Anne McIlvain,
of Trenton, N. j.; Mrs. William E. l..

professor Fisher outlined briefly
the work done by the Pro-League
speakers in their transcontinental tour
just ended. In the eighteen days dur
ing which they were on the tour their
special car travelled about 1000 miles
through thirteen States between the
two coasts; a total of eighty-nine
meetings in forty-two different places
were addressed"

Alfred K. Brandriff was sworn in as
Sheriff on Tuesday. He is the first
Sheriff to be elected from Upper
Penns Neck Township since Samuel
Plummer was elected in 1852.
Mr.. Plumner was a brusque char
acter and felt the importance of his
office. During his term Samuel
Treadway, in Lower Penns Neck,
killed his wife and Mr.. Plummer hung
him. Sheriff Plummer visited the
great Crystal Palace Exhibition in
New York. He could find no place to
stay, so he told the hotel proprietor:
"Why, l am the high Sheriff of
Salem County and hung Sam Tread
away" believing such a noted man
should command consideration.
The proprietor said: 81 don't care
if you are the high Sheriff of hell and
hung the Devil, you cannot stay here"
There is one criticism on the new
Sheriff. Some fear he has not had
experience like his predecessor to
know where to look for the speak
e%asies, but then he may cultivate a
sense of smell.
