DEMOCRATS HAVE
 SPIRITED DEBATE
P. s. McMahon and E. 0. Kill
 bourne Argue Over School Board

The meeting of the. Democratic club last evening fin the old K. of c. hall on Main street was largely nt- tended. about 200 being present. II was featured by q spirited debate be- tween F.. o. Kilbourne. n member of the school board, and P. &. McMahon concerning the deficit Of $27,50o which the school board has reported for the present year
 MT. McMahon criticised the mem bers Of the school board for the man. ner in which their budget was made up, and the argument he used seemed to make a very deep impression on those present.
 Kilbournc Blamcs State.
 MT. kilbourne, in answering him however, gave an explanation of the matter. He explained that the def icit was caused because, of the fall ure of the state to pay to this city $44.o0O which is owed. The school board, in making recommendations for appropriations for this year. was relying on this amount for part of the expenditures. The legislature, during the last session, despite the fact that if had been voted to pay this money to the city. failed to make an appro- priation to cover the sum and because of it the school board has deficit of the above amount.
 Other Debates Planned.
 It Is planned to have these debates at all these meetings, and members Of the various city government commits sions will be present to answer all questions pertaining to their work.
 Alderman Angelo Paonessa gave a talk on the "E'ilter Bed Episode" He told of the work that was undertaken on the project, of the thousands of dollars that were spent on 1t and the negative results that were obtained by it.
 There was considerable discussion pertaining to the candidates who will seek office in the spring campaign, but no particular person or persons were favored The feeling of the meeting was that it is little bit too early to say anything definite about them.
 There was an entertainment fur nished consisting of two comic bouts, vocal and instrumental selections Edward J. Mccarthy, permanent chairman, presided. The next meet ing will be held next Wednesday evening.

JEWISH PATRIOT ID
 TALK IN THIS CITY
Vladimir JabotinSky Here on Sun. day Evening, February 19

Vladimir Jabotinsky. who will speak in behalf of the Zionist move ment at the Central Junior High school auditorium on Sunday evening February 19, is one of the worlds most prominent Jewish patriots
 Previous to the war he was known among the Jewish people as a leader but it was only when the war broke out that trappings and ornaments fell from him and the real hero was re vealed. Then one saw Jabotinsky the fighter. breasting the adverse current of events and playing game of life and death in the name of his ideal He was not ashamed to p~cant his early. errors and to declare himself with the allies, even through amongst them was Czarist Russia. the bitterest enemy of the Jewish people. For he foresaw clearly that the victory of the allies was the triumph of the Jews, and he foresaw as clearly that reaction in Russia was but tenn porary thing. There was needed real heroism of spirit to advance this view in those early days of the war, and Jabotinsky advanced it clearly and fearlessly. caring little for the enmity he incurred. In his mind and con ycience there was something like a fixed idea; he saw that every effort must be bent towards the victory of the allies for their victory was the Jewish victory.
 Then began his political career in England for the victory of the allies, a career so ably and vigorously con- ducted as to attract the attention of leading English statesmen.
 Jabotinsky was convinced that Jews must take an individual, literal part in the war waged in Palestine. And he began to preach his theory of a Jewish battalion. Jabotinsky Himself was among the first to be en- rolled and among the first to leave the training camp for the battlehelds of Palestine. Thousands of youths followed him, and together they wrote upon the bloody pages of Jew ish history one of it's proudest chap ters: Jews themselves were among the liberators of Palestine. Jabotln- sky the fighter was destined to be- come Jabotinsky the martyr. Fine mics within Palestine and without conspired to rouse against the Jews the schemers among the Arabs, and word was passed among them or war to the death against the Palestlnlah Jew. against the hope of the Whole Jewish people. These events found Jabotinsky in Palestine. Without hesi-
