Great Force.
After 2,000 yein of exile, it ii now
alm-st certain that a Jewish govern
mr-nt will be established in Palestine
When General Allenby, at the head of
his victorius army, carried the Union
lack into the Holy Uty last Uecem
her. a dream of the twenty cen
turiea became eossibte On the hills
of Zion a lewish civilization with
something of its old moral and in
tellectual vigor may once more come
- into eing. The Jews have seixed their
opportunity, and already an Admin
istrative Commission of Hebrews is at
work restoring the country for that
race.
This Administrative Commission
has a program. Its aim is to bring
back thetlife of the Jewish colonies
hr Palestine to their flourishing pre
war conditions. It intends to furnish
the necessary educational, medical
and economic aid to all Jews who go
back to the Holy Land. One of its
most important projects it the tin
mediate founding of a Jewish univer
sity. Along the lines of diplomacy
the commission propose" to create
harmonious relationships with the
Arab and Armenian states which are
to be its neighbors.
Jews Go Back to Palestine.
The story of the return to Pales
tine of the Jewa during the last forty
years is as amazing as that of our
Pilgrim fathers and in many ways
Remarkable parallel to it. This mi
gration, too: was born of Persecution
The first great series tof massacre of
Jews in Russia began in 1882. Scores
ot thousands of them fled to America.
. few turned toward Palestine.
" Every great movement of the lew.
ish tribes has had its prophets and
leaders.
" ' The Joshua of the Jews today is

later became a British subject. Zeal

practical sense that appeals to the

realm of practical politics.

Frederick the Great is smothered
in the folds of an American f!ag. The
halls that once resounded' with music
kand revelry now echo 'the calls of
boyish 'voices and the low toned
murmurs of black clad sisters. Father
Flanagan's home for boys' now oc
cupies the old German Home on
South Thirteenth street in Omaha.
Father Flanagan opened his home
for boys last' December. He bor
rowed $90 to pay the first month's
rent on the inadequate quarters oc
cupied at that time. -He had no funds
and didn't know where they could be
gotten, but he felt the need of a hav
en for homelssi' and friendless
youngsters boys who -were on the
wrong road and needed a kindly guid
ing hand to turn them from the pen
itentiary track into the way of be
coming good citizens:
since last December more than 200
boys have benefited by Father Flan
agan home. At the present time,
there' are 35 boys in the home and
many others placed in families here
and there about the city, who report
to father Hanagan at intervals.
Many of the boys under the father s
care are sent to him by the juvenile
authorities. "But don't think they are
really tteljnquent, said Father Flan
agan. In many cases they have no
parents., in others the parents are at
fault, either not governing them
wisely or in actually . encouraging
them in evil ways. Some of them are
just mischievous. All , respond to
kindness and encouragement and con
fidence' in their better natures in a
surprising way." (-
Speaks Italian Fluently. ,
la juvenile court recently, Proba
tion Officer Miller made the state
ment that little Italian boys were
their greatest problem. In solving
this problem the home is invariable.
Father Ftanagan understands the
peculiarities of the Italians. Nearlv
half the boys under his care are of
this nationality. He speaks the
language of their countrv as well a
the universal boy language, which so
many men forget as years and busi
ness cares press heavily upon them
"I want to keep the boys out of
Kearney,' says Father Flanagan.
ot tnat the' industrial school at
Kearney is not a splendid institution
and wisely managed, but it is and
should be the last resort.
' At the home they believe in the
power of public optnion, .The boys
are not preached t nor scolded. They
govern themselves lareely. "When a
new boy comes into the home,", says
rainer rianagan, "ne .is; apt to do
things the other boys have- learned
not to do. It is amusingrto notice
how shocked theyare. . One by one
they come and confide in awed
whispers that the new boy sstre. I
say little to yiem and nothing to the
new boy. It is-not necessary. The
very evident disapproval of his as
sociates' is enough , to effect the
change.
"I could not manage the boys, how
ever, without the kindly sisters. .Their
gentle ways appeal to the hearts of
the boys, who love them and gladly
work hard and repress their less-desirable
tendencies to win their ap
proval."
Four Acres .1 Garden.
There trefour acres in connection
with the fTSrae. These four acres
were broken and planted by the boys
themselves, in June, and, al
though . it was late for garden
work, this garden has done
remarkably well and is furnishing
quantities of fresh vegetables now.
There is a little shoe shop in tne
basement, where a gray haired old
shoemaker teaches the youngsters the
intricacies of his trade. ".Oat in the
kitchen little he!p is needed. The
boys enjoy preparing the vegetables,
washing the dishes, scrubbing the
floor, and one boy was doing a splen
did job of washing napkins the other
day. : It, is unusual, the sisters say,
J&e dro'eri, tie smallest
md me medium sized
to find a boy who is not willing to
work hard to earn his keep in a place
where he is treated like a real, hitman.
The life in the home is not all work.
There are games and a collie dog to
play with, there are lessors, for
which a bisr schoolrnnm i hoino
firepared. The dance hall will be
fitted up as a gymnasium if the fu-H
are ever forthcoming for that tmr
pose. . '
In the southwest room on th ej.
ond floor, where the href
heaven have free access from tnree
directions, are the little white beds
in which the boys sleep. In the (base
ment are the Mr dinin room and th
clean kitchen, smelling sweet and
wholesome of freshly baked loaves
or other substantial food.
Health is First Issue.
There is nothing fancy about the training the neglected boys to be user1
home. Funds are lacking for that, ful citizens." I
even 11 eiegance would be desirable
among children who have been
raised in poverty and whn will nmk
lably have a hard row to hoe all
through , life. The main think is to
keep the boys healthy and happy.
Some time ago a 15-year-old boy
was taken into the home. His par
ents were dead and his only living
relatives were two married sisters, to
whom he was nothing except for the
money he could earn. "Between them
they nearly worked the child to
death," said Father Flanagan. "He
was. a timid shadow when he came,
but he soon filled out and brightened
up under the influences of congenial
surroundings. One day he saw one
of hi j sisters come through 'the gate,
on visit to the home. When we
went to look for him he wal nowhere
to be found. His sister stayed a
while, but finally had to go-home
without seeing him. It was late that
night when we found him, five miles
tway. He had run as far and as
fast as-he could go, because he was
afraid she would take him away from
Although managed by a priest and
with the aid of sisters of his faith,
Father Flanagan's home is not strict
ly a Church institution. A large part
of the children who are taken there
are of the Roman Catholic religion,
but those who are not are not forced
into it Workers from the T ewish aid
society are welcomed and given free
" to Y cmidren of their faith
and aid m Iheir work among them.
It children are received from families
who profess any other faith, efforts
are made to have people of ' their
church visit then. - ,
The home is supported by voluntary
contributions from people who realize
.eu8rJeatI??d that is being acconvi
pushed This means that funds are!
always insufficient to do what needs
to be done. In fact, the home is run
on a shoestring and -wonders of
economy have to be accomplished to
keep it going at all.
. In spite of this, Father Flanagan
has the courage to believe he is going
to be able to enlarge the work this
coming winter. "Man-power was
never needed in America as it is to
day," he said. "We can increase our
man-power in no better way than by
