"Daily Chronicle" commenting
on the agreement editorially, de-
clares that the surrender to
France of the Yarmuk and Hau-
ran rivers entails loss of the best
and most potential grain area as
we'll as the main sources of water
power. The writer adds that in
the face of this fact it is very
strange that Paris has already
raised a hue and cry about the in
clusion of the northern Jewish
colonies in Palestine.

JUST ONE MORE WASTED
CD WORD.

~ w OAND.
To the Editor American Jewish
World:
My Dear S. N. D.:
First, let me say, I have no in
tention to enter into a debate with
you on the definition of logic,
wasted words, or work of the
Zionist Organization. I know
that the result would be of no par
ticular benefit to anyone. I know
that with your skillful and artful
use of words you would win the
debate.
Perhaps, tho, the writer will be
pardoned one more word of
waste, since he has been granted
his diploma from the "Class of
MASTERS of Words" by you.
We are glad that last week you
divulged the little secret I knew,
to the public, namely that you
were "only a preacher and not
business man." But we are not
pleased to hear you state that
editorials are necessarily made
up of words and not works.
Perhaps it is presumptuous for
mere lawyer to state that in his
opinion editorials should be made
up NOT ONLY OF WORDS,
but ALSO OF WORKS, that
mere words alone do not make up
worth while editorials.
Perhaps also it is presumptuous
for me to opine that preachers &C
tivities should not only be made
up of MERE WORDS. We do
the preachers and editors the
honor of believing that theirs
should be the task in the COM
of leading to constructive
work in all communal movements
for the benefit of the people, not
only by words, but by thoughts
and inspiration which will lead on
to greater effort on the part of the
community folk, as we'll as by &C
tual work which will stand as an
example for the rest of the COM

munity, which looks to it's preach
ers and editors for inspiration
and encouragement.
We do want your assistance in
the Zionist movement, S. N. D.,
and we want your words which
will encourage us on to greater
work. It is the opinion of the
Zionists of this community that
by your editorials and action dur
ing the past year, you have tended
to discourage all constructive
work for Palestine. This, I state,
not as a matter of logic, but also
as a matter of Knowledge"
Whether you have intended this
result, we do not know; whether
you have accomplished this re-
suit, we do not know; if you have
not, then Zionism and Palestine
is particularly Fortunate; we do
know, however, that your articles
have lldu tlle tendency 10 d1ScOur-
age Zionists as we'll as others
from cooperation in the develop
ment of Palestine. We do know
that you are making it hard for us
who work,-irl addition to vast
ing a word now and then,-in a
work which you know is natural
ly hard enough. All we ask, S. N.
D., is that if you must necessarily
use words, and words only in the
makeup of editorials, that those
words be such as will encourage
and stimulate your readers and
listeners to greater action.
Very respectfully yours,
J. B. CALMENSON,
Chairman St. Paul

City Board Authorizes
Sum to be Spent for

City Director Of Water ]. Clyde
Morris was yesterday authorized by
the board OF directors of, the city, at
a special meeting held for that puT.
pose, to expend q sum not to ex'
ceed $4,000 for the purpose Of as
the cost, Occurring plans
and specifications for the consruc-
ton OF modern filtration plant for
tbs city and for other expenses in
cident to the installation of such an
equipment:
The meeting was called at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Morris who laid facts
and figures concerning the water de.
partment of the city before the
board in order to thoroughly ac-
quaint the board with the condition
OF the water system both financial.
ly and materially and then asked
that the board sanction the expen'
dIture Of the amount necessary for
such an investigation.
It is the purpose OF the board to
visit together with public spirited
citizens, various modern filtration
plants of other cities, and to have
plans and specifications drawn up
by experts IN this line and when
tllis data is secured to lmy before
the citizens Of the community the
project OF floating bond issue the
purpose Of which will be to build
a modern filtration plant.
This data will be convincing and
will thoroughly acquaint the public
with the project as whole and VIII
allow them 10 vote intelligently as
to whether or not they desire sucE
a plant.
with the proper filtration plant
installed here 1t is the concensus
OF opinion that no city in the stnte
of West Virginia would have a
more adequate or better water sup
ply.
The board was unanimous II
agreeing to the proposal Of Mr.. Nor
ris who is OF the belief that with the
plant properly installed, and tho
stoppage OF various upkeep ex
penses amounting to approximately
1000 per year that the water de-
partment would be able In the
course Of a number OF years to re-
tire its own bonded indebtedness.
Such bond issue would undoubt-
edly be heartily endorsed by the
citizens OF the community who feel
the urgent need for a better wateT
supply for this city.
