the Zionist hope is that 1t can never
hope to be refuge for all the millions
Of fugitive Jews in Europe. Palestine
in its time Of greatest glory gave =
home TO 4,500,o0o people. Now. after
Thousands of years Of misrule, it sup
ports about 100000. Unemployment in
Palestine is as general as elsewhere at
this time. The housing conditions are
good deal worse.
The truth is that Zionisln now is a
seed, promise, hope. The British
have greatly limited the Zionist propa-
ganda for immigration. The refugee
Jew, turning his eyes from the closed
gates of the United States, sees the
same restrictive bars on Palestine
Until he is assured of employment the
British do not permit him to entas
there.
There is work TO be- done, for four
times as many as are now there, says
DR.. Sokolow. There are wide-Bune
public schemes Of expansion of transit
systems, of eicctrincation and OF irri-
CATION on foot that will open up great
sources Of energy to the land and give
employment to many thousands. There
are resources Of nitrate and petrol In
the vicinity of the Dead Sea. There ia
desert country that can bo made the
most fruitful Of any in the East, say
the Zionists, If the money can be
found to put these schemes under way
1t is not hard put to 1t to find labor
For all schemes Of public improvement
the Zionist state can conscript such
communal service as that Of the pio'
neers in building the roads.
For the Zionist state plans to profit
by the evils it sees everywhere around
it. 1t will, it hopes, have no industrial
problem. The work of road building
the forty agricultural colonies it has
founded, are all highly successful ex-
periments in cooperation. The work
of electrifcation and irrigation it plans
to put through in the same way.
Cooperative Idea Carried
Further Than Ever Before
But it offers an interesting pros.
pectus for carrying the cooperative
idea a little further than 1t has evel
been carried before. DR.. Sokolow's
mission in America is TO raise part OF
| S100, 100000 which Jewish sympathizers
all over the world are asked TO con-
tribute as the wherewithal for these
projects. A third of the money will be
used for the sanitation and public i'm.
| provement of the country. The other
two thirds will go to establish bank
! in Jerusalem. which will capitalize
the individual business enterprises, the
building of homes, the improvement OF
land and the exploitation Of national
regources.~- The money will be loaned
out at nominal rate of interest and
will return a nominal interest to the
donors. II the promoter and capital

LEGION HERO WITH ONE LEG
Detroit Member of Organization Dis.
plays Makeup of True Soldier
During Fire.

Once hero, always hero, is what
Detroit is saying of Leo Thurman,
World war veteran, who lost leg in
France, but who nevertheless saved
the life Of a stranger in a burning
building recently, while able-bodied
spectators stood about wringing their
hands.
Thurman, a member Of the Charles
A. Learned post of the American Lee
gion, lost his left leg at the thigh
while serving as a machine gunner
with the Thirty-second division of the
A. e. f. Early one morning he was
awakened by shouts and soon learned
that a nearby house was on fire.
CARRIED in a dressing gown he made
his way to the burning house and
found crowd of spectators awaiting
the fire department. Fears were ex-
pressed for the safety of occupants in
the house, and as no one volunteered
to enter, the Legionnaire broke open
a window and went in. He returned
dragging Aaron Pruitt, whom he found
overcome on bed.
"Any soldier would have done the
same thing" declared the hero.

Chicago-A successor to the Far.
mers' Finance corporation, the $780,
100000 fiscal subsidiary of the U. s.
Grain Growers, Inc, on an even
greater scale Is under consideration
by the U. 8. Grain Growers, Inc, who
also are the directors of the finance
corporation, 1t was announced.
The information came from j. M.
Mehl, assistant to President Gustaf-
son of the U. 8. Grain Growers, Inc,
and from J. r. Howard, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. The federation brought the u.
s.. Grain Growers, Inc, organized to
pool and market the farmers grain,
into existence last spring.
Replies Reported Favorable.
Mr. Mehl said that letters had been
sent to the directors for their opin-
ion on certain changes, but that all
had not yet replied. He said that a
statement would be made public in a
few days. Mr.. Howard said that he
understood the replies already re-
ceived indicated that new and en-
larged finance corporation would be
attempted.
The Farmers Finance corporation
was incorporated in Delaware but en-
countered opposition from the securi-
ties commissions of Minnesota, In
diana, and other states, largely, it
was said, because of the concentra-
ton of power in the board of direc-
tors
'The fact of the matter is that we
sought at this time to finance only
grain, whereas in the long run cot
ton, tobacco, live stock and other farm
products must be financed" said Pre-
sident Howard.
"Need for Clearing House Seem"
"Ohio and Iowa have already ar
ranged for state financing corpora
tions, while Nebraska and Minnesota
farmers are considering similar ac-
ton. Assuming that other states will
fall in line, there would seem to be
need for a sort of national clearing
house for them, and sentiment seems
to be that this should be broad enough
to care for all needs of the co-opera-
tive movement, instead of grain alone
The board of directors would repre-
sent all lines of agriculture, instead of
grain alone as at present"

and scores were overcome before Pas

They smelled the gas from distance,
and recognizing its odor, set out for

Arriving, Pascal found doctors car

of service men, out Of which grew the

front A. w. o. L. He went through
the st. Mihiel drive and was in the
thick Of the Argonne fighting when,
an order was issued for his arrest.

armistice, he was sent to Coblenz as
