They contend 01 it favors the Jews too much. A re- 111 ply which they huve made to the draft proposals for a constitution ni submitted by Great Britain has been ti received here. di It repi-esents the views of a dile- b< gation invested with full powers to st deal with the matter on behalf of pi Moslem and Christian Societies in tc Palestine, and the Arab congress. w The reply points out, it is learned hi from an authoritative source, that some of the provisions of the proposed constitution do not satisfy the national aspirations and needs of the Arabs of Palestine and are based on the idea of making Palestine a Jewish IS national home. This, according to e' a a:?ui. n? ? <-wau la in tuiumt Willi lilt' rights of a people constituting 93 S1 percent of the population. ^ The Arabs desire a form of gov- " emment which will give them a '1; greater measure of control' of their ^ own affairs.

Epidemic of Typhus Fever Moscow, March 21.?Soviet Russia ji once more under the shadow of an! lideinic wave of typhus fever and I jcurrent typhus which has been reading since November last. The olga famine area is chiefly affected. 1 the center of Russia the epidemic us invaded the big towns of the (oscow and Petrograd governmental isltricts and in the west the cities of linsk, Smolensk, Witehsk and in the ortli Vologda. In Moscow itself the epidemic is rowing rapidly and the toll which it i exacting from the Moscow popula-; on is already now seven to eight mes larger than that of last season nd it is feared that before the winter; lonths are over it might well overrow the epidemic of 1919. In December over 4,000 cases of ty-j bus were registered in Moscow,! rhile during the first three weeks f aJniiary 4,783 cases were regis-; ?red in hospitals, lint the real numer of cases is much higher than this1 gure. The epidemic shows no decline and oath casualtis are not below 40*per-' ent. Hospitals and medicament are ery inadetpiute. The Moscow hositals arc overcrowded and the Mosow Soviet is trying to provide 3,000 ew beds in them to meet the cpiemic. The railways are the channels by vhich the epidemic is carried from he famine stricken area into Mosow. Every train brings lice from he Volga districts. The Moscow tattoos where many refugees live, as veil as prisons, concentration camps ind the Tartar hostels are the chief enters which feed the epidemic here. To cope with the situation, the government stopped passenger traffic on he eastern railways for six weeks, laths have been organized at Moscow ailway terminals and all refugees nd military detachmonts arriving icrc are compelled to use them. In floscow itself bathing facilities were .fforded in all districts. PlominfVAoo Konutifnl Vv * ? J? ? m.HMiftvvc., Mvw?v.4?.

'4 Spring in Russia is Dreaded Season Moscow, March 15.?Russia is approaching her most dreaded season? the early spring?with the realization in government circles that her first year of free trude under Communism has not filled her warehouses with; supplies of food to tide her over until ; the next harvest. With foreign aid, principally Amor-. ican, devoted largely to relieving the' terrible distress in the Volga and, Ukraine famine regions, Russia prom ises to be unable to feed the rest of her vast population during the spring and summer, and, according to official government predictions, even next year's harvest probably will be had. The early spring months, before the first harvest is in and when the sleigh j traffic vanishes along with the snow and the thaw makes the highways irn-j passable, will be the test, both for food and fuel. Even now, with the roads in; good condition, Moscow, Petrogradj and other large cities are short of: food. The government warehouses may! have enough to dole out to the Red' Army and favored employes for somej months. The rest of the population isj dependent on food brought in by tr.nl-! its. Eaeli spring for the past five years, however, a similar crisis has been met in some way. oFreign aid, grain from abroad, is now hoped for but not confidently expected by the Soviet lead-! ers. The fuel shortage looms up even) more prominently than the lack of] food. The Donetz basin, Russia's great | coal fields, showed increased yields during the early winter when by a; special drive food was secured for the! miners. Now, the famine in the'1 Ukraine and the general lack of food and transportation elsewhere all have contributed to cut down coal production again. Without food the minors cannot work. Similarly, in Siberia and Turkestan, according to the newspaper Economic Life, a lack of fuel is responsible for 1 failure to move food to Central Rus Owing to the lack of supplies in, government, warehouses, the numberj of persons rationed by the state hasl just been further reduced from 11,-j < MOO,000 to 11,000,000, including the! Red Army. Only these 11,000,000 in' >.11 Russia, receive the ration. All oth-' ers are dependent on their own meager' harvests, if peasants, or in what they, can buy, if city dwellers. Russia is Money Mad Moscow, .March 24.?Russia is noney mad. Almost everybody, from :he humblest communist to the erstwhile aristocrat is thinking, dreaming, talking of money. Public events, life, death, all else go by the board. As the ruble drops dizzily, week by week, people cease to talk or do business in millions, as a few months ago. Now everyone of money consequence is not a millionaire but a billionaire and seen they will be trillionaires. A million rubles lately has been equivalent to $2, a billion to $2,000. Speculation has reached such pitch that the cabman speculates on his fare. To one he charges 50,000 rubles for a ride and to another 100,000 or 200,000 according to his wit. The man, woman or child who does not get rich in Russia today must be a fool indeed. One has but to buy any article, a pair of shoes, n Persian rug, a lamp, a watch, a ring, a half dozen yards of cloth and hold it for a few days and sell it for twice the; cost. Women speculate shrewdly and , shrewder than all others are former countesses and princesses. Since the government turned the real estate over to its occupants, the rent of apartments and rooms here has jumped from zero to large sums. The right to occupy a mere room, if the owner wishes to sell out, runs from 10.000,000 to 50,000,000 rubles , and apartments 50,000,000 to 200,000,000. legally, newcomers are required to pay nothing but in order 10 oDiain wnai tney want, tney must secretly subsidize the Soviet house committee. There is much speculation in cloth. Most of the prood cloth now in Russia is smuggled in. A little money is paid here, there, everywhere, and the cloth gets in. Then speculation takes place in its distribution. In the south of Russia cloth i scheap, hence it must be transported to the center or north, where two or three times its cost may be obtained. If sent to Siberia the profit is immense. Speculation in food is the biggest affair. An oflicial who controls a private car makes millions moving flour,' fruit, wine to the centers of high prices.

Keyr.ote of Ministerial Relie Chicago, 111., March 20.?Justice t I ho 'Veterans" of the ,church rathe than charity to disabled or aged min liters has become the kfynote of mlfi isterial relief in ma&y Protestan churches. Tho denominations g< /, erally have increased the amount distributed, and many t^fcve made rad ii al changes in their method of dis tlibation. Retirement (pensions hav frequently been provided in additioi to the original provision for relef ii cases of pressng need. The need o assuring prospective ministers of pro vision for old age of disability, in order to gain new recruits for,the pid pit despte low salaries is said to havi been one of the motves which led t< the introduction of pension systems These facts are brought out in state merits from the various denomination: compiled by the Veteran Preacher, i publication of the Board of Conferenci Claimants of the Methodist Episcopa Church. Help to self-help is stressed in thesi statements, as a principle underlying the newer pension plans. Most of th< plans involve some element of insur ance, and ministers qualify for th< benefits by paying annual dues. Pro vision is usually retained for emer geney relief as well, or for aid to rnin isters for whom the general pension plans arrived too late. Denominations and religious organ izations which have developed or in troduced pension plans under whicl ministers pay dues include, in alpha betical order, Baptists (Northern anc Southern), the Church of Christ, Con grcgntionalists, Methodists of Can ada, Presbyterians, the Reformer Church of America, Southern Meth cdists, United Brethren, United Lutherans, United Presbyterians and th< Y. M. C. A. In some cases a clergyman's dues are paid or shared by his congregation. The part contributes to the fund by clergymen's or officers' dues varies; under the plan of the Y, M. C. A., yearly payments based or, a percentage of salaries are made to ji common fund, to which the association pays half and the employed oflicei Half. The Methodists (northern) providi r; pension board on years of service from funds contributed by the entire church on the principle that the "strong should bear the burdens of the weak." The Southern Methodists have r? general superannuate endowmenl fmul for which there is a one percent assessment on pastors' salaries. The Aufrusta Lutherans, the South evn Presbyterians and Evangelica Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio an* other states, administer relief as be nevolence and on a basis of need. Both pension and relief plans pren arally provide for widows and minoi orphans of ministers as well as foi ministers themselves, and the trus tees of the Protcsttut Episcopa Church authorize an (immediate granl of $1,000 to a clergyrifiiffirVldow at the time of the death or her husband in addition to a pension which is pale to widows or their minor children un der a separate provision. There js n* instance of a similar grant havinj been provided by any other church, i is said. Another method for aiding widow: is the joint life annuity, under the expanded annuity plan of the Congregational Church. This joint annuity is paynble to minister during his life time and to his widow n case of hi: prior death. The plan of which this annuity it a feature permits a Congrcgationa minister to become n member of ai annuity fund by paying annual due: of six per cent of his salary. Shouh a minister having a salary of $2,00t lake out. a membership at the age ol HO, the accumulation when he was <>.' would provide an annuity- of abon $1,030. Further indication of an apparently general awakening of responsibility t< aged ministers is the report, of th< Methodists (northern) that their dis tributive income for conference claim ants was $2,350,000, four times a much as in 1908, and that a permancn fund of $10,000,000 is sought. Simila progress and aspiration is reported by various denominations.

Watson, a noted \? \ - York psychologist. Doctor Watson's theory, as descrih ed in the April issue of Popular Im i t? enee Monthly, is in part as follow ; > Your fears are not your natural birthright; nor did they "jitst -grow." - Most of them wore taught you by your s parents and other "grown-ups" al i most before you were out of creepers. ? Almost every common fear that you 1 can think of has developed from, or has been "conditioned" on. some pre ! 1 vious fear. That fear, in turn, has been f conditioned on still another fear. Thu.. your pet horrors and aversions have - multiplied in steady progression, as 1 the years have gone by, fro in two fun damental fears that startled you ami - made you cry when you were a help-' - less baby. These, Dr. Watson's ex i perimcnts have revealed, were: 1 Loud sounds. 2. Falling, or sudden - lemoval of support. Character Formed Karly. \ When an infant is two years old. ae - cording to these new discoveries, ii 1 fundamental character is aireadv - formed. It has already become fear-. - less or timid, active or indolent. The 1 general pattern of its character, the - emotional nature that will make or - break the adult, has already been laid ? down. Dr. Watson's final conclusion was ( that we learn to be afraid as we g?<?w i cider; for nearly all grown-ups pos ' sess fears attached not only to noise. . and falls, but to animals, persons.; i places and even general situations i These secondary fears are caused, dei dares Doctor Watson, by a psycholog ical process called "the conditioning of reflexes." To prove this, he actually developed a fear in one infant, doing i t under scientific conditions just what flB parents, through lack of proper super-j vision, unconsciously permit children. *9 to do. The tests were performed with ? ' "Albert," a child aged 11 months and : three days, as the subject. ifl | Repeated tests revealed that Albert I at the outset feared nothing hut loud S * noises and the removal of support. U(> iftj I played with a whi'c rat without the j 9 I slightest display of terror. From this B - point the fear-developing experiments I proceeded. J Fears Created Easily. J r The white rat was again shown to B r Albert, but this time as he reached ON - for it, a bar behind him was struck ? 1 with a hammer. Instantly the baby L started and began to cry. He was.' t r.ot afraid of the rat, but he did fear) i noise. I A week later, the white rat was -I shown him again. lie hesitated fori i an instant then reached for it once; t more. When the bar was struck, he ' lecoiled in terror. A short time later the rat was shown * to him, with no accompanying sound. | Instantly the baby 1 egan to crv, th ai raised himself on all fours and crawi-j i ? d away. "We thus see how easily such < >n ii- I ? * tioned fears may grow up in 'lie ? home," Ooctor Watson observes. "A * child that has gone to bed for years; 1 without a light with no fear, may., 1 through the loud slamming of doors, * become conditioned to darkness." I j ^ Lord NorthclifFe !
