BpeoKintr or tns benenta Jews will do Itlj'o from this war. Doctor Qotthell said: !P&rt bf tha frradt war now aolntr rin is belntr fought out In territories vnrv 'largely Jewish. In dallcla and parts of Ctlbssla and Austria, where battles are taltMK place, thcro Is a lame accumula tion Of Jewish people. In Itussla thera t are -at least 6,000.000 Jews, probably mcro t uinti Hair or an uio .laws exming in the swhoU world In Oalicla many towns are Itumost exclusively Jewish. "Within the last few weeks Palestine lsf has coma Into the fray, and not r are the hundred thousand Jewish itibltnnts In dancer of their lives and Bperly, Put the work which has-been Boltjf on In that country In the last So or 40 years, looking to Ihe upbuilding of a civilisation there, Is Jeopardized. "In the final reckoning-, which must come at the end ot tho war, several Jew ish questions will havo to be settled. First, there Is the Itusslan question. There are as many as 250.000 Jews fight ing in the ranks of the Russian army. and it la the hope of many ot us that Russia, by alljlns herself with the two most democratic X'owers In Western Europe, Franco and Kngland, will her self receive such an impetus to change her political status that of Its own ac count the Jewish question will be settled within her borders. . "Secondly, the Rumanian question must be Rottted, Two hundred and fifty thou sands Jews who still remain In Rumania must be taken Into full citizenship In that country v AThcre la also the Palestinian question, which would have to be solved. I have for many years been a great friend of tuu wtiujjjuii xwiiiuic a nave am ays neiu that at n time when Europe waa prad- uiKiiy ciosrci iu our oroinrcn in me mil and Mtli centuries, It was tho Turkish Government which oponed tho doors through which the Jews went who es caped front the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions. "I looked upon It as a source of great regret that Turkey allowod Itself to bo led Into the war. Turkey surety will bo Hie loser. If tho central European Powers arc tho victors, Tuikcy not only follH Into the orbit which hns Its centra at Berlin, but becomes nothlnp more than n corner of the German Umpire. If, on the other hand, tho Allies win, I am very much afraid that the doom of Turkey Is sealed f "I bclleva that the future of our people and tho future of our race Is Intimately bound up with tho Holy Land, and that It will depend upon the wjlutlon that Is given to this question when the war Is over as to whether n bright future or not Is opened up for tho Jewish people."

CHILDREN'S CORNER The Butterfly Airship ONK fojBy morntnc; In tho fall of the venr a tlnv llttlo fairy named . 'yfqiet took a sudden notion sua -wantod uto go, for a nue. ' ','Go for a rldo?" exclaimed her sister BfBUttcrcup. "How can you so for a rldo on such a foggy day as this? 'There aro no sunbeams to ride upon!" Okou sec, fairies usually beg a ride of vtho passing: sunbeam when they wish to bo anywhere.) "Oh, I know that," replied Violet: ''but that doesn't bother mc: I'm sure I'll get my rldo some way." Violet Was audi a cheerful, pleasant llttlo fairy that everybody liked her, She never worried: sho never fretted; she always remembered that thoro is a way "Tftls la mv busy dayl" to do anything; ono wanta to do If only ono Is clover enough to think of thbirlght way! So when sho wanted to do something nw she nevec stopped to fret because ho couldn't 'do lt,aa many a fairy or person might not she! sho merely met to work planning how to do what he, wanted to do! And she nearly always found a way! Op this particular foggy morning, when tho aunbeanw were all asleep, sho; looked around to sco who was bout. Not a soul could she sec It wa so foggy sho could hardly see her self! "yrll!' she exclaimed to herself, laughingly, "if nobody but fog Is around I guess I'll have to ride on the ' fglde on the fog?" crjed Buttercup, -yifir can't do that!" -JlCan't XV asked Violet. "Tou Just wafoh me!" Buttercup watched as Violet hailed a mls'ty, rootsty fog fairy. "Please. Mr. Fjbk." sha cried, "I want to go for a rjde!" S. ride?" exclaimed the fog fairy, so surprised he could hardly speak. "I ' hayen't time to take you for a ride. Thja la my busy day!" v,Qh. J won't talcs your time," an- Jewelry 20 to 50 Per cent.

The high grade character of my stock is due to 3 yar of dwrlt vrtiitg picking. it, i "But swered Violet politely. "Just let mo rldo on your back." The fog fairy was so surprised that Violet had climbed on him and was ready to go riding before ho had tlmei to say -no. bo he obligingly let her stay, and away they sailed through tho misty air. Just as thoy wcro In tho midst of a beautiful rldo Violet felt tho fog fairy tremble. "What's the matter?" sho asked. "I don't sco anything to bo afraid of, "Why do you trcmblo?" "Don't you feol tho sun in tho air?" nslicd tho fog fairy In a frightened voice. xes, now that you speak ot bollovo I do," replied Violet. whut of that? Tho sun is friendly; he won't harm you." "Ho won't harm you; but ho will kill me!" cried the fog fairy In dis tress. "I feel him coming! I feel him " Even as tho fog fairy was speaking tho sun hurst through the clouds and shone clear and warm. And at his first warm breath tho fog fairy melted into nothingness and Violet was left alone In tho air! Down sho floatcd-down-down-and sho landed right on tho back of tho very last butterfly of the season. "I'm glad there was ono butterfly left," sho said gratefully as tho buttercup gently carried her homo. "There's always somebody to. help me out of trouble and take me homo!" i Copyright, 19U Clara Ingram Judsotu HELLO! Did YOU ever help Santa Clans? Would you like to? Of course, you. would!

"Seen any of our fellows go by, sir?" queried Wlmberley. The man shook hh head. "I'vo seen no one," ho answered, "are jou looking for any one?' '"We're out for a run paperchase, jou know Ive lost the troll." The mnn looked at Wlmberley ami laughed. "You've had about cnoucli ot It," he said. "1 know tho sort of thing used to hate it when I wan your nge run and run and nothing at tho end of It slow game for bojfl." "It's such a rotten day, sir and I've a bit of a cold. Still, I'm going through with It." 'you are, ch? Well, Im a doctor, and I'd advlso you to Rot home and changa your clothes. You como from Ilarptree, I suppose!" "Yes. sir." "Well, I'll give you a lift, If you like. Ive got my motor waiting not mora tluin a quarter of a mile from here. I was lust going a bit of a walk, but I can do without that." Wlmberley looked at the man doubt fully. "Alleyn will give mc a licking," he said with a grin. "Who'a Alleyn? Nonsense. I'll speak to Mr. Krlclgh about It. I know Mr. Kr Iclgh quite well.' "That won't bo any use, sir. He won't Interfere with the prefects; but I do feci a bit queer." "You look It You'd better como with me. I'll have you home In no time, and In bed, where you ought to be." "Oh. rot I'm not us bud nj all that. But I'll neer catch up tho others now, and I'll be glad of a lift. It's Jolly kind of you." "Come along." said the stranger, taking the boy'B arm. They made their way along tho path under tho dripping trees. A close observer might have noticed that the stranger kept glancing sharply from side to sldo, as though ho expected to see some one In the depths of the wood. "What's your name?" queried tho man, as they nearcd the edge of the wood ' ailne a Anderson Doctor Anderson." "My name Is Wlmberley, sir," tho boy ansnercd. "Wlmberley, ch? Not Iord WImber ley?" "Yes, slrV" Doctor Anderson held out a strong lean hand. "Shake," he said, "I knew your fathei j ears ago and I'm proud to meet his son." The boy shook hands shjly. Then he started as Doctor Anderson caught hold of his arm and commenced to run. 'I say, what's up?" he gasped. "Nothing only you Must keep warm must keep wftrm you'll catch your death of cold." Thoy emerged from .the wood, and Wlmberley saw a big limousine car standing In the road. The engine were purring softly. "I nay," he said breathlessly, "what a bcaiily!" "Sixty-horse," said Doctor Anderson; "has done ?6 miles In tho hour " "My. lord," some Ono shouted behind them; "stop my lord, I nont to speak to ou." . Wlmberlev turned, and was Jerked oft Ids feet. The chauffeur sprnnir from Ida seal dud stood by the .car; due hand In the pocket of his coat. Doctor Anderson laughed nnd helped the boy to rise. "Sorry," he said; "I thought It was our friend Alloyn, and wanted to get you clear of him I don't know who tho fellow Is, but ho wants to speak to ou." Wlmberley turned nnd snw Denham, the head footman from Monksllvcr. Tho man came forward and touched his hat respectfully "Sorry, my lord," he gasped, "but I caught sight ot ou I was on my way Into Ilarptree with a message from her ladyship. You're to come back with me. my loru. "With jou. Denham? Oh. that's all rubbish how can I go without leave?" Doctor Anderson intervened. "I'll take Lord Wlmberley up to Monksllver In mv car," he said quietly; "I was Just going to take him back to Ilarptree. He's wet through and ought to go to bed. But If It Is urgent " "ills lordship must come with me, sir," said Denham, rather more sharply than a servant ought to speak to his betters Lord Wlmberley frowned "I say, Denham," he said, "look here I'm not In the nursery now I'm going to do what I like. Why can't jou como In the car?" "Certainly, my lord, If this gentleman will tako me." "You'll take him, sir. won't jou?" said Wlmberley. "Yes; or course." Denham was annoyed. Of course. Lady Wlmborley had not sent for her son. It would bo difficult to explain without tell ing Lady Wlmberley the truth. And Lord Arthur's Instructions were very explicit on that point. "Do you think, sir," said the detective, "that It would bo wise for his young lordship to sit when ho is so wet? Wouldn't It be better for him to keep movlns?" Doctor Anderson smiled and looked at his watch. "By Jove," he said, "I had no Idea It was so late. I'm afraid I can't go up to Monkjllver after all. I'm very sorry doodbv, my lad I hope you won't catch cold. Tou mtist have a hot bath when you get In and go to) bed " He turned on his heel and walked toward the car "Stay here, my lord," said Denhsm, "I want to have a word with your friend." He overtook Dr. Anderson as the latter tenia ntnnlncr Into thn motor. "Tou'd belter hot try this game AgAln," Denham said in a tow voice, "or jou'll get Into trouble" The doctor seated himself and closed the door. "I suppose you're mad," lie said. "I'm afraid I shall have to complain to Lady Wlmberley of your behavior." "Yes, I would if I were you." Tho car moved slowly off. Deriham glanced at the number, but no doubt It was a false one. Ho took more particu lar notice of the car Itself, of the chauf feur's face and the features of Doctor Anderson. He had an excellent memory for small details. "Pity J couldn't go with them," he said to himself, "but they nte two to one and probably armed. Ono thing Is quite certain. They wish to do things quietly or they'd have knocked me silly and taken tho boy off with them " He returned to Loid Wlmberley, who was stamping his feet nnd rubbing his hands together to keep warm, "I say, Denhnm," said the boy, "what's the meaning of all this rot?" "Tho meaning, my lord. Is that It doesn't do for young gentlemen like you to pal up to strangers." "What's tho harm, anyway?" "It don't do, my lord. Her ladyship doesn't like It." "None of your business, Denham," said the boy sharply, ,What docs mother wont to see me about?" "Nothing, my lord4 She doesn't want to see you. I made that an excuse, so to speak. Now you'd better be going on back to school." I say, you have some cheek. Denham, ordering a fe"llow about." "I hope I know my place, my lord. But It won't do, young gentlemen llko you making friends to strangers. And I must ask you, my lord, to tell her ladyship nothing whatocr about this nltalr." "Oh. 1 shall do as I choose." "Indeed you must not, mv lord. It would upset her ladyship dreadfully If she were to hear of this." "Why?" said the boy sharply. His keen eyes wore sparkling. He scented n mys tery. "I can't tell jou why. my lord. But I'll ask Lord Arthur to explain to you." Wlmberley looked at him with a pui- xled frown "I say, Denham," he said nfter a pause, "this sounds exciting. What do j-ou think the doctor was going to do with mo?" "Nothing, my lord, but tako you back to Ilarptree. Please don't ask me ques tions. It's not my placo to answer them. Lord Arthur will explain to j-ou. Now jou'd better run home, my lord jou don't look at all well." Wlmberley laughed, and set off at a Jog trot. Denham stood watclilnc him until he had disappeared from sight. "A neai shave that," he said ttf him self "If I'd had my pistol I'd havo pulled oft a big thing."
