tional life of the people. Up to short time ago there were scarcely any Jews in tbs greatest part of the for mer Russian Empire. The Jews had right to live only in the present-day Poland and some territory of the Ukraine In these areas, it is true, the Czaristic gendarmerie did every thing in it's power to stir the popula- tion against the Jeweish fellow-citi- zens. Unfortunately this had often led to bloody riots.
 But even in the Soviet Ukraine there are today scarcely any traces left of this systematic Jew-baiting pro paganda. Fact is that the Soviet gov ernment has succeeded in cleaning up'' with those clements and those inclinations which fill the darkest and most shameful chapter of the history of Czarism.
 Anyone who today is commissioned to study and describe conditions in Russia-and surely that is not an all too pleasant duty in view of what those conditions are--is in honor and fairness bound to emphasize this note- worthy fact.

GREAT DOCK AT S0UTHAMPT
 READY SOON

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 21. = The worlds largest floating dock will shortly be located at Southampton.
 For it's construction contract for over five million dollars has been given to Armstrong, Whitworth & Company
 But this is only part of a vast inn provement scheme which the London & Southwestern Railroad-owner Of the docks-is planning for the port. The aim is to make Southampton the greatest rendezvous for ships in the world. The cost, including these other improvements, will not be much less than twenty-five millions. | The dock about to be constructed will be in commission year from now. It will accommodate ships up to 60, ,O00 tons burden.
 Built of steel, it will be held in posi- tion by four large steel mooring booms, attached to large concrete "dolphins." About 960 feet long and 134 feet wide, it will be approached from the present docks by pair of foot bridges.
 Southampton has six dry docks, but only one can accommodate liners of the size of the Aquitania, Olympic and Berengaria.
 The Majestic, which has a docking weights of 52,50O tons, cannot be dry docked here under present conditions, but after the alterations, it will be possible to lower the floating dock to thirty-eight feet below the water level The ship will ride in, the water will be pumped out and the vessel, high and dry, will be ready for the paint CTS and repairers to walk under her.
 Dredging for the site of this monster dock will be as deep as sixty feet and will invoice the clearing of 86O ,OOO tons of mud.
 To pump the sea water out of the floating dock and lift" vessel of the . Majestic class will take about four hours.

CHANNEL ISLANDERS WRATHY; OBJECT TO
 PLANS OF NEW LORD

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Inhabitants of two tiny Channel Islands-Herm, area 32O acres, and Jethou, area A acres are up in arms against the conduct Of their new Lair-Compton Mackenzie, famous novelist.
 They have been believing that he intends to close the islands to their ordinary summer visitors and instead erect casino for his own friends.
 Mackenzie says they are laboring under false impressions "T have leased the islands from the Crown" he says. Under the lease visitors have 'privilege'- not a right to land in Herm and Jethou on two days a week, paying toll of twelve cents each, of which the Grown receives four cents and I the other eight. It would be neither to my in terest nor to that of the 300 inhabi- tants to keep out visitors.
 "It is. untrue that intend to con vert the islands into casino. What am dong is converting the little Mer- maid Tavern into the Mermaid Inn, wnere dozen paying guests can en- joy the air, shooting, fishing and in the future game of golf.
 What am aiming at is the estab- lishment of little country club on American lines. I only want the isl- anders to rely on my personal good will"
 The inhabitants of the little Chan nel Islands still regard themselves as independent of Great Britain. They still have their own governors, laws and curious language.

PLUME NOW DIVORCE
 COLONY FOR ITALY

ROME, Nov. 21.-Fiume, since it has become self-governing, has be- come the divorce colony of South ern Europe and the Italian Govern ment is worried
 Divorce does not exist in Italy, but nevertheless there are Italians who desire freedom from their mat rimonial bonds. In the pre-war days these persons hied themselves to Budapest, became Hungarian citi- zens pro-tem, and in a few short weeks were able to secure divorces and then return to Italy to rsume their nationality, minus the irk- some bonds of marriage.
 Now, however, the autonomous state of Plume has brought divorce to Italy's very door, and expense can be no barrier, for it is possible to become a citizen of Plume with out ever leaving your native place. All you have to do Is to deposit 8 sum of money with g lawyer and in form him that you wish to take Plume nationality. The lawyer finds some accommodating Flu mano" who Is willing to adopt you.

Variety Of one of the Philadelphia high

the coming to this city Of "The Gold

Always anxious to be helpful in
steering their classes to the more use
ful and finer things Of art and drama,
they made q mental note Of the name,
and advised some Of their pupils to at
tend the show at the Broad because Of
the historical value attached to Mr..
Belasco's presentation Of a story Of the
early gold rush to California.
This week, perhaps because there was
grain Of doubt somewhere in the backs
Of their minds, or more likely because
they also desired to witness this contri-
button to Americas historical drama.

digging Of the twentieth century.
What thcy said Is not stated, but the
next morning they maintained pro.

The fact remains whether unfor-
tunately or not Is left to the individual
opinion the exhortations Of these
same teachers that the girls 70 to see
''Thc Gold Diggers" had already born
fruit. Many went to that same mat
inee, and while they did not see histor-
ical drama Of early California setting,
they appeared to enjoy themselves, and
It was through them that the joke came
out.
But the subject is a sore and touchy
one up at that particular high school.

City Hall Side Hall

Any one standing in the center of
City Hall courtyard ,and looking north
at the one window in the second floor
rotunda may glimpse the statue Of n
man In Colonial garb.
But few people would know that the
gray figure glimpsed through the dusty
pane Is the city's first statue Of the
Father Of His Country.
There It stands in lonely and forgot
ten splendor. the back to the hurrying.
unheeding crowd In tho courtyar rd
below, the eyes and outstretched hand
facing the partition of the Municipal
Court.
The strange part Of 1t Is, few are
aware or troubled by the existence Of
the Washington statue In this obscure
location. 1t was originally erected in
1860 in front Of Independence Hall,
with funds raised by Philadelphia school
children. But In 1908 it was so in
Jured by weather conditions that
through the influence of the American
institute Of Architects and other groups
the marble figure was removed and a
bronze duplicate put in its place.
No provision was made for the origi-
nal statue other than that it was
given into the custody of the Bureau
or City Property.
The rotunda is the only place for
the Washington statue" said Chief

not know that the Municipal Court
would use that particular corridor for
