Today Sailing for Jerusalem. Moses Would Be Surprised. Panama's Danger. The Air Fleet Question. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V—-/ Today the big steamer. President Arthur, of the American Palestine line, sails for the Holy Land. Pas sengers. 600 of them on the first trip, wil land as near to Jerusalem as Milwaukee is to Chicago, and much nearer. That, perhaps, is the first dis tinctly Jewish steamship that ever crossed the ocean. It will be dis tinctly “kosher,” which means that all food will he selected and pre pared, in accordance with the law of Moses. It would interest that ancient law giver if he could see the New York to Palestine steamer, traveling without sails, crossing the Atlantic ocean, of which, probably, he never heard, and talking by wireless to Jerusalem and New York at the same time. Petfiaps the old law-giver, if he could see the refrigeratirtg plant on the kosher ship would say: “You need not be quite sir strict about lobsters, and some other things. We had- no icebox when I wrote those laws.” The old Phoenicians, daring Semetic race, living at the eastern end of the, Mediterranean, brave sailors, and cousins of the Jews, would like to see that ship of a Jewish line, brand of 1925. They sailed out past Gibraltar, risking the Atlantic as far as England, the first men that ever went out of sight of land, without a compass. How they would stare at this ship, coming eastward over the ocean, smoke pouring from its fun nels, sailing almost to the doors of Solomon’s Temple, for which the Phoenicians supplied so much finery. The President Arthur will make the round trip to Palestine every 00 days. The line was established to facilitate and encourage travel to Jerusalem and will doubtless be highly successful. R. McGinnis of Panama, now ib Los Angeles, says the Panama canal is quite safe from attack by armies or battleships. But, says he: “An enemy fleet with airplane carriers, anchoring somewhere out at sea, could absolutely destroy the canal, or obstruct it in such a way as to make it Useless.” There is no protection against aircraft, except in other aircraft. The congressional committee, in vestigating air fleet matters, brings in a report fully confirming and hacking up the statements made by General Mitchell, as to this coun try’s defenseless condition. And -Mitchell has been lowered in rank, put where he gannot tel) any more unpleasant truths, officially. The Los Angeles Examiner makes the situation dear as fol lows : It describes Secretary Weeks ns a man Whose house was on fire. A faithful servant rushed in, shout ing, “Your house is on fire. Mr. Weeks discharged the servant for forcing disagreeable • facts on his attention. Our battleships have been maneuvering, carrying on sham battles in the Pacific. That's a good idea, and the only way to give the ships exercise. In real war they would have to be hidden in port to ■ beep them away from the air fleets of the enemy. The officers report {hat the ships, theoretically attacking our coast, were theoretically destroyed by sub marines. Also army officers give an interesting report on tests made in San Francisco night before last, in connection with defense of the city against aircraft. One lone airplane, used in the test, flew across the city, theoretically dropping enough bombs to destroy half the city. Four gigantic searchlights, criss crossing the sky with their beams, and the ssharp-eyed crews of a bat tery of 76-centimeter anti-aircraft guns, never caught a glimpse of the attacking plane, which flew over the city at its own sweet will. Maj. J. S. Pratt commanded the lests and made the reports, showing that San Francisco is at the mercy of attacking airplanes. The secre tary of war must take action there, and reduce Major Pratt to a cor poral or a sergeant. Otherwise the battleship industry will not be safe. Men that deal in stocks or oil are excited about the report that Mr. Doheney will sell his oil companies for $125,000,000. The price seems big, but oil men ?ay it is not, and Mr. Doheney says he is not interested in selling to 1 he Standard. One hundred and twenty-five million dollars seem not to interest him. Such prices are not high for a collection of really good oil wells, with real oil in them. Mr. Mellon, so the story goes, was offered $250,000,000 for his oil ■interests long ago. The price was just fair, and a good friend of Mellon’s had a chance to make a good commission. Mr. Mellon thought it over, said he really had no use at the time fur that exact amount of cash, and hardly knew what he would do with it. So he refused the offer. (Copyright. 1#26.)
