MAGNETIC POLE
BY Garrett P. Serviss

bany River. This is not far
from the agonic line. or line OF
zero declination Ton which the
needle points true north, which
now lies, with many small deflec.
tions, from South Carolina to
Michigan and across Lake Super
for northward through Canada to
the north magnetic pole. East of
this line the needle points west
of north; west Of the line the
needle points east of north. The
magnetic charts furnished by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey give
many general details. but local OBJ
servations are needed to deter
mine the variation at given
point. The chart for 1925 has not
yet been issued at this writing.
The phenomenon would be
greatly simplified for practical
study If the declination was not
changeable. But IN fact there is
q slow shifting Of the agonic
line, and OF the whole system, at
one time toward the east and at
another toward the west. These
movements occupy centuries.
Here's An Example
To illustrate their effect, we
may recall that at London in the
year 1880 the needle pointed about
IL degrees east. But in 1910 the
declination had been so far re-
versed that the needle pointed, at
London, "a degrees west. This
had declined to 10 degrees in
1925.
American records do not go
back so far and are not so full,
except for recent years. Thus. in
Boston in 1870 the declination
was west IL degrees, in 1885 west
7 degrees and in 1925 again west
ii degrees.
Just to what extent the position
Of the magnetic poles changes Is
not known. The nearest approach
to the northern pole seems to

due to the swift course of action taken

A SPLIT IN CUzA'S
ANTI-SEMITIC CAMP
Younger Elements Wants
BLACK Shirt" Revival
By |. YEyIN

Cuza's camp is seething with rebel
lion. His Parliamentary group, which
consists of very young men, has got
tired of its old leader and is about to
supersede him. But the black apostle
holds tight to his seat and treats the
antisemitic deputies as schoolmaster
treats his pupils. This stern, uncom-
promising manner of his led to re-
volt in the Cuzist movement and the
League of Christian Defense" has
split into two hostile camps.
Doubt Cuza's Integrity
Officially, the split is explained by
the opportunist leadership of Cuza
with regard to the present govern
ment. The youth" headed by Zeliau
Codrianu, accuse their leader of seek
ing to ingratiate himself with the
present rulers in order to be given a
post in the Cabinet But the real cause
of the split is much deeper than that
and indicates a transition from bio
logical antisemitism to political fas-
cism.
The Cuzist movement has always
advertised itself as nationalistic and
emphasized at every opportunity its
patriotism. The fascist idea was rele-
gated to the second place and served
chiefly as means of combating the
socialist and communist parties. Psy-
chologically, the mainstay of Cuzism
was antisemitism which found its ex-
preston in direct action" One pog.
rom was regarded by the Cuzists as
of more importance than a hundred

I rather liked him, understanding

used without mental reservation, i'm

in that talk as the difference in view

II Is inevitable that Sir Ronald
Cyprus will occupy niche in Jewish
history. lie has been Governor OF
Jerusalem. the first nfter-war Governor
OF the old city and he held office longer
than any other British official. The
Jews tried hard to make out of High
Commissioner Of Palestine n legend that
would knit Sir Herbert Samuel to Ezra
or rather 10 Nehemiah, but Sir Herbert
lends himself little to myth making
high commissioner Is now title. and
Governor Of Palestine had n resonant
quality. Say what they will in Tel
Aviv. Palestine is very much Jerusalem,
and Sir Ronald was very much Gov
ernor thereof. His stature and his
walk. his most English face, his abil-
ity to speak some Arabic. and his
working knowledge Of Hebrew, all
these qualified him to look the part,
Governor of Jerusalem.
Whether the Arabs loved him ! know
not, hut | have my suspicious that in
Arabic the verb ito love" conjugates
easiest on paper. The Jews disliked
him and feared him. He has no great
Illusions on that head, and | doubt
whether his Jewish secretaries mislead
him aS TO where he ranked In the
voublc gossip of Jana Road. He was
freely spoken Of as an anii-Scmite and
rumor. which in disguise got its way
into print decided that if he did not
instigaie the riots Of 1921, he at least
did not prevent them. Palestine is
critical and the very fincssc with which
he played the game alarmed the Jews
who constantly had premonitions that
he would manage to elevate himself
into the High Commissioners chair.

Now at about the same time there
was n great lack Of meat food in the
land, and there was jealous Jewish
director Of affairs wholly ignorant of
the dietary laws. And this director
was heing smitten by all and sundry
to prove mis- executive ability and pro-
duce meat. And he proceeded TO the
Governorate and consulted Storrs.
And the Governor, who knew his Bible
backwards. puckercd his brows, sym
pathized with his friend and told him
that there was shortage, too in the
Government meat supplies. But, If
his friend could use it, he could place
few tons of horse meat at his dis
posal. Horse meat is meat, and meat
is what my people want" and so the
Jewish official accepted the gift and
hastened back to the embryonic Waad
that was then in course of formation,
to report his victory. Now what can
you say about shrewd Coy who plays
such trick on simple jew, n jew
of high standing at the time, perhaps
the only jew in Palestine on whom
the trick could be played.
There was at times something brazen
about the way Sir Ronald would smil-
inely enter a Jewish gathering, look
around and say: 81 know you don't
want any Goyim present, but then
am not exactly Coy, l am Governor
of Jerusalem"

Sir Ronald Storrs is a trained Brit
ish official with good deal of ex-
perience and if all the gossip was not
without some foundation possessed an
immense amount of practical pull with
the Colonial office in London. Now
that description is equal to volumes.
But other people have not even taken
off the outer covering of these Vol
umes. The bland, unstrutting, unhur-
ried, apparently leisurely Briton in
the midst of harried, experimenting
and self-exasperated community had
an obvious advantage, and no one
would accuse Sir Ronald of not play

one. His interests were not those of

Palestine Vice
Now towards the end of the mill
tary occupation, that is in 1919, there
was in Jerusalem = in the new city -
miserable dirty street which for
good and sufficient reasons sported
swinging sign in English and Arabic
"out of bounds for troops" A hundred
stories of Palestinian vice have been
made up out of this short, ill-smell-
| ing street and its half dozen wretched
houses, and its short-lived and prob
, ably now forgotten career of vice. But
so ran the story, Ben Jehudah - that
other Palestinian myth centre - was
on the rampage, making war on the
administration for all its failures to
post everything in Hebrew and he
found the fragrant sin of omission.
The sign swinging from n wire right
over the center of the street Il pho.
tographed it lacked Hebrew
translation. Forthwith, Ben Jehudah,
piling up his wrath, repaired to the
Governorate and confronted Storrs.
But Storrs, instead of repenting his
infraction of the tri-lingual law, ex-
planned to Ben Jehudah: 81 omitted
the Hebrew on purpose. Jews do not
frequent those kind of streets, they
are too sensible; they need not be
warned to keep away" How can you
deal with man who talks like that?
