Mr. Mandel Bees The New Apartment
Before Brian.
If the war in Palestine is carried on as energetically
as it has started many will be driven to consulting their

Nazareth, of crossing the Jordan and attacking Damascus
and Aleppo it sounds like a chapter from the old testa
ment. '
The Serbians and allies are advancing on a front a
hundred miles wide and which is growing steadily wider,
through Serbia, and meeting little resistance for the rea
son the Bulgarians are utterly demoralized and panic
stricken. They are so badly frightened that the whole
Bulgarian press has suddenly awakened to the beautific
dreams of peace. Nothing has been heard from the Turks
recently but then they are running so fact they are out of
breath and unable to tell just what they do want. What
ever it is, it is not more war.
The kaiser recently in addressing a gathering of Aus
trian officers on the western front told them that Austria
would "at 'the proper moment give' the Americans the
right answer." and intimated the right moment would be
when the Austrians met the Americans on the battle field.
The kaiser may not know it but the one thing the Yankee
boys are anxious for is "the right moment" and plenty of
Austrians on hand to deliver the kaiser's answer for him.
The local community boards to the number of 1,000
or more are perfecting plans by which every able bodied
man will be eliminated from son-essential work and his
place will be filled by women. It is purposed to employ
women in the munition plants and others, at all such work
as they can do, and in the civilian employments such as
stores and offices practically every able bodied man will
be supplanted by women when these plans are perfected.
Jt is work or fight in earnest now, and there is to be no
dodging.

wonder why!" she soliloquized, after
he had gono to sleep. She was wakeful.
Thcitt hud .been tbings said , that she
wanted to think about. It was all so
different, in tho'liftlo southern town
where site had been raised. Thero, peo
ple liewT talked personalities at a din
ner party. Neither had she ever known
anyone who compared at all with
Claude Beekly, to be received by nice
jieople. Yet she lik-'d Mr. and Mrs. Cur
tis; they surely wouldn't havo invited
him had he been as objectionable as
he econwfl t0 her.
"I must be awfully old faahionod in
my ideas," slio muttered. "I shall have
to make myself over a littlo, I guess.
But I wish Brian wouldn't di.wuss
mo wilh Mollio King or anyone"
Again thu thought that perhaps Brian
would eaiv more for her if she wore
contented to stay at home, do the work
and live as they would havo to lire on
what '1U earned, crossed her mind. But,1
as before, glio. immediately dismissed it.
Sho would not surivndnf her occupation.
Instead, she would enlist Briun's co-op-oration,
and make him gee that they
could be, that they would be, far more
comfortable iu her way than in his. j
Huth had yet to learn that home-
buildnig is an absorbing task. That to
most men it is T11K absorbing task, and
ono tl.'.-y think should content and sat
isfy a woman. Brian was one of this
sort. He remembered, in his own home
where poverty, stark and unlovely, had
always been a guest, his two sisters
dressed in ealieoe and remained at .hoinc
and helped cook, clean and do all the
menial tasks that those who lack money
hnve to do. Yet ho never gave a thought
to the fact that had his sisters, own
one of them, had independence, init-
would lot her, of the annoyances of
liouseKecping.
She wa9 both exasperated and deprcs
sej by her kuewledgo that Brian had
discussed her With Mollie King. Sho
could not forget it. Sliw succeeded in
suppressing her desire to find fault
with him because of it, and compelled
herself to appear interested whenever
sho spoke of Molly which he oftvn did.
Once when he had talked of Mollie
for some time, Buth recalled that some
where she had read that if "a person
was falling in loVe they unconscious
ly talked of tho person with whom they
were enamoured.'.' . .
Could it bo that Brian, was beginning,
to eare for Mollie Kingt She dismissed
tho idea witn a shrug of her shoulders.
But someway, Brian seemed different.
Slw could not find him in acoord with
her so that sho felt W5 encouraging
and praising him as she did when they
were first married. , Brian too felt there
was some change he could not under
stand, so laid it to her work. Had they
quarrclwl it would havo perhaps been
belter. Quarrels sometimes clear the
air. But things never went as far as
that. Occasionally Briou would sulk, an
Huth grow omuiously quiet. There it
would stop until one or tlie other would
fia'gct, and b-e natural one more.
Ruth had rented the apartment near
tho office. Sho had attended to every
thing herself. Brian has acted sulky,
uninterested. But whvn they were set
tled, even before, (it took Buth many
weeka to make the place as attractive
as it finally became) ho would frequen
tly rv-murk that "he guessed it was real
ly better for a lawyer to live in a de
cent place. He had mentionod it to
Curtis, and Curtis had agreed with
him."
Mr. Mandel had goue over to the ap
artment, one dv befoiv they moved in.
Kuth had met him near there and asked
him if he would liko to seo it. Ho had
passed through harder times.
"Today we have peace with Russia
and Rumania, and although conditions
ia Russia are not clear and the future
is uncertain, nevertheless the menace
from two sides has been removed, al
lowing the employment of our-eastern
army on the west front. ,
"Field Marshal Vo-n Hindcnburg. and
Goncral Von Ludendorff will show
themselves equal to the occasion. The
enemy 's prenature cries of victory .
will soon die away.
"From the first day we have waged
a war of defense. We invaded Bejgium
only to defend ourselves. It is true that
wo transgressed the written law, but,
as for individuals, so there is for
states a law of defense. Wo had
grounds to believe that if we did not
act quickly the enemy would invade
us."
"Humanity shudders at the thought
that this terrible, kultur destroying
war may not be the last. Is it not pos
sible for peace loving nations to set
ngnt aoow might?
"President Wilson's idea of a league
of nations has my entire sympathy, on

"In regard to itho protection of small

CITY OF DAMASCUS IS
KEY TO MESOPOTAMIA
AND ALL OF PALFSTINS
New York, Sept. 23. The city of Da.
mascus, the ancient town which stands
at he head of tho Arabian desert and
toward which the few railroads in Pal
estino head from the coast of the Medi
terranean, is the key to tho entire mili
tary situation in Palestine and Meso
potamia, acocrding to Professor Rich
ard Gottheil, head of the Oriental de
partment at Columbia University and
formerly a member of the faculty of
tho Amoricnu School of Arehiaulogy at
Jerusalem. Discussing the advance of
General Sir Edmund Allcnby's forces
up the valley of tho Jordan, in which
Turkish forces opposing the British
have practically been wiped out. Pro
fessor Gottheil today told the United
Press :
"Thv key to Syria and Palestine is
the city of Damascus. Ho who posses
ses it hold the 'open sesame' to the
country of the south, the west and the
north. From Damascus the British and
their allies can push on to Aleppo and
whyn once at Aleppo the allied fleet
will be able to seize Alexandria, the
most northern point of the Syrian
coast," " '
The importance of the operations, as
regards the Arabs, Jews and other races
now living undwr the thumb of the Turk
cannot be under-estimated, according to
Professor Gotheil. A strong supporter
of tho plan to establish a Jewish state
in the Holy land, he sees in this oper
ation a probable fulfillment of the
dreams of Jewry.
"The Turk has always been so fear,
f ul of his hold in the countries in which
he held sway that he purposely kept
them from developing in ordwr that
their inhabitants should not be perme
ated with modern ideas or be ablo to
get ogether quickly," said Dr. GottlreiL
"On this account th0 advanciig allied
troops have had to build up their owa
civilization as they go.
"That Sir Edward Allenby has not
lost his time waiting is evidence from
tho dash and success that is attending
his latest effort. He holds now what

of what was the northern kingdom of
Israel. He is fighting in that classic
ground of fighting the plain of Esd
raelon, which from time 'immemorial
ha held in its hands the destinieg of.
