5000 Jewish Immigrants Will
Be Permitted To Enter Pales-
tine In Last Quarter of 1912

JERUSALEM (JTA) = Three
thousand Jewish immigrants, to-
gether with their wives and child
rem under the age of eighteen, will
be permitted to enter Palestine
during the three-month period
ending December 81, it was an
nounced here this week in an Of
fetal order appearing in the Pal
estine Gazette. One hundred nom
Jewish immigrants will be admit
ted during the same period.
The immigration order also pro-
vides for the admission of 1000
Jewish refugee children from
France, if they can be extricated
from that country and transport
ed to Palestine.
The Palestine Gazette points
out that under the quota of $4,000
certificates available over five
years beginning April 1, 1889, for
immigration and refugees, $4,000
had arrived by September 80, in

teen prominent Australians sup
porting the settlement scheme.
Even an Allied victory, it APP
pears, will not end all Jewish
problems. This became very evil
dent from some news items of the
week. From London, for ex-
ample, it was reported than anti
Jewish and fascist propaganda
had suddenly received a new I'M
petus during the week especlaliy
in Liverpool. This is believed due
to the fact that the district lead
ers of MOsleys party have been
released from prison on the
ground that they are no longer
dangerous. And from Polish cir
cles in London and Russia there
came further charges of POllsn
discrimination against the Jews
Not all of the Allies, it appears
have vet prOfited from the Ter
rible lesson which this grim war
has taught.

IT HAPPENED
THIS WEEK
THE JEWS OF TUNIS
BY MILTON BROWN, JTA


The Yanks as this is being
written are TuniS-bOund, from
where they will be near enough to
Italy to send many a SILVER down
n Duce's back. The Rome radio
warned the 10000 Jews in Tunisia
70 abstain from premature re-
iOicing." The Italian newspaper
II PiccOlO published in Rome
uuOted a Tunisian Arab news
paper as reporting that the ''Jews
in Tunisia no longer disguise their
ioy over the American advances"
French Africa holds m n y
thousands of French and other
Jewish refugees in addition to its
native Jewish population. Accord
Ing to Washington circles, the
bulk of the Jewish refugees en-
bloyed at forced labor in building
he Sahara road in the desert of
Algeria are some distance yet
rom the points which the Amer
cans have reached.
As ROmmel began to flee, Rome
Immediately ordered the arrest of
III Jews in TripOli. Rome is wOr-
lied by the rejoicing" of the
Jews. We dare say that MussO-
mi knows that most of his people
would rejoice equally at his own
collapse. Many Italians must be
lifting up late at night wondering
how they may accomplish that,
Tor they know that their victory,
ParadOxicalIy, will come only with
he defeat of the Fascist virus
which has fastened itself upon
Them. Tunis is near enough to
italy, as Winston Churchill more
han limited in his speech, to make
or very easy bombing of Italian
points. How long will the Italian
people resign themselves to listen
ng to the fall of the "blOck
puSters?"
In the very successful drive on
sommel, it appears that Jewish
oldiers, largely from Palestine,
Performed very well. The British
authorities in the midst of the re-
oicing took time off to single out
Jewish technical regiment for
pecial praise.
OF JEWISH HEROISM
The week indeed has been full
stories of Jewish herOism.
From England came the news
hat the King of England has
Timed a medal on the breast of
sergeant Davd Lloyd Hart OF
Montreal, a Jewish hero of Di-
ppe. The two brothers of the
ewish soldier, Captain Paul Hart
a Quebec regiment and Serg-
ant Edward Hart of the Royal
canadian Signal Corps, were
resent at the Buckingham Pal
ce ceremony at which their
rother was honored.
In Russia, on the occasion Of
Ne twenty-fifth anniversary of
ne Russian Revolution, the So
let press published lists of those
ecOrated since the beginning of
ne war. These reveal that more
nan 5000 Jews have been decor
ted by the Soviet for gallantry
action.
JEWISH SETTLEMENT
The proposed settlement of
ewish refugees from European
ountries on a 100000 acre tract
Kimberly, Australia, which had
cen endorsed by the West Aus
ralian government before the
Tar, received new impetus this
eek when the Australian press
ublished an appeal signed by fiji

WRITE YOUR OWN COMMENT
(The Roanoke Times)

On the authority of the an
nual report of the Comptroller
General of the United States,
dealing with the "extent to which
government owned automobiles
have been used for personal con
venience of officials and employ
ees of the various departments"
it is learned that Gin many in
stances officials are provided
transportation to and from their
homes and that such automobiles
with drivers) are used for per-
sonal convenience after official
hours
However, that isnot all of the
story: cit has been further dis
closed that in a few instances
officials and employees keep
the cars at their homes overnight
and week-ends during which pc
riods they are used for the per-
sonal convenience of such Off
Gals and employees
And there's even more to it:
''The cars are usually provided
with gasoline and oil from the
government supply at closing
time, and in many instances, up
on being returned to the govern
ment garages the tanks are emp
ty, even though they have not
been driven en- official business. y
So that's where some of the
rubber is going-and some of the
gasoline and oil-and some of
the taxpayers money!
Write your own comment. But
better still, write it to your con-
gresham or your senator.

fore l get out of this War. l don't
have any regrets in getting into
the army as soon as l did. In fact
1 feel that 1 am lucky indeed to
have at least a whole year of
training while some of the poor
fellows won't have two months.
My year went by pretty fast and
it surely was interesting to fell
low who hadn't seen much in his
twenty-seven years.
I'd like to know if any more
of the boys in Clintwood have
"jined up fer the. duration" or
not. There were lots there who
told me not SO long ago that they
were going to join up.
1 get your paper every week,
and it sure is welcome. It has so
much good honey news in it.
I'll close now, SO shore don't
forget to send me the Herald
every week. I'd miss it like the
very devil.

US A FEW LINES

January III, 1917
Well, here l am on charge of
quarters tonight, and I thought
maybe l could sort of write you
of some of the happenings here
in camp. This job Of charge OF
quarters comes around about
once a month for the non-coms
and this was my time, SO here i
am. I have to stay all night ir
the orderly room and answer the
phone, if it rings, and go on err
rands for the officers during the
day. This is a job all the boys
sort of like for it lets them off
their regular duties and breaks
the monetary of army life.
Boy, we have been having the
cold weather the past two weeks.
It showed three-inch snow
about a week ago and the sun
hasn't come out enough to start
the snow melting yet. Last week
end when the snow started. I
went to Louisville and we left
here at IL o'clock and got to
Louisville, a distance of 80 miles
at four o'clock in the after
noon. | never saw the roads so
slick in my life. Cars were JAM
med up for miles along the road.
The driver of the car I was rid
ing in got tired of waiting for
the jam to clear up and took off
the side of the road and gained
miles on the convoy of cars. I
counted fifteen cars over the
road as we went along and count
less ones were run into the rear
of those in front. I wished a
thousand times hadn't attempt
ed to go to town that afternoon.
but I stuck it out and guess it
was worth it. That night I had to

GRANT MULLINS BADLY
INJURED ON MAIL ROUTE

Grant Mullins, long time faith
full mail carrier on the ClintWOOd
Almira route, never particularly
fancied dogs. Now, he probably
abhors the whole dog creation,
because dogs were largely re-
spnosible for a grievous accident
to him Tuesday.
Astride his horse on his way
toward Clintwood, he was COM
ing up Brush Creek when a pack
of playful dogs started running
and baying in front of the horse.
Angered because Of the furious
noise of the dogs and the irrita-
ton of his horse, Grant struck at
the dogs with his riding whip,
causing the horse to rear, throw

ton.
In the morning of the same
Saturday two army planes went
up for their regular morning
tour and crashed and killed four
lieutenants. The smashups were
not over a half mile from our
outfit. I saw the wreckage after
wards and it looked awful to me.
One plane burned completely up
with the two officers in it.
We have been working early
till late these last weeks after
war was declared. I haven't
heard any complaints out of any
of the boys any more, for they
all realizen that they are in this
thing up to their necks and they
are trying to get all they can out
of their training before going in
to actual combat.
Every day 1 see boys who be-
fore the war started were very
restless and always complaining,
take to their work now with
new interest and enjoyment.
They smilingly tell me that they
are learning all they can so as to
put those Japs on the run
when they get into the fight.
They really seem anxious to get
into the battle. I don't know,
they may be in the fight much
sooner than they expected. We
know one thing only and that is
we are leaving here some of
these days soon for parts I'M
known. 1t gets sort of intriguing
in trying to guess where we will
