 All this is being literally and quickly reported to Europe. On the news pilot train are three German reporters from Berlin, all of high rank.

It is strange for one place to be
. holy city for people OF three
religions, but that is true of Jeru-
salem. 1t has been, and still Is,
holy to Jews, Christians and Mo-
hammedans.
Before long, I shall speak of the
Mohammedan hero, Saladin. He
was leader in defending Jerusalem,
and the rest of Palestine, from the
CHRISTIANS during the Crusades.
For the present, let us only make
the note that the Crusades. or
Wars Of the Cross, were not verv
successful for the Christians. After
the last of them, Jerusalem re-
manned under the power of the
Nohammedans.

q test of truth. If any one told
q lie while under it, he would make

That old-fashioned "lie detector"
of legend no longer exists. All the

Of Germany and Austria Hungary,

In October, 1917, British troops
led by Gen. Allenby won battle after
battle in Palestine. They came
near Jerusalem, but did not turn
their cannon upon it, for fear they
might wreck some of the olden
Christian churches. =
BY winning power over land
around Jerusalem, the British forced
it to surrender. The city was cap
tured without a shot being fired
into it.
At the close of the war. a plan
was worked out for Palestine to
become once more the homeland of
the Jews. This plan has worked
in part. Thousands Of Jewish set
tiers have made their homes in Ger
tain parts Of Palestine.
Yet there are troubles. Moham-
medans in the region want to rule
it. Jerusalem today is not Jewish
or Christian or Mohammedan. Peo-
pie of all three religions live in it..
