Men Apply for 'Leaves" In the afternoon the children in the llages made love frankly to any of .e 'soldiers who would permit it, ambored over the trucks, and were ireproved by their parents, who ailed their tolerance. The older nongst the men and the women not tly made no objection to billeting, as d many in Coblenz and Treves, but equently showed a desire to make e men feel at home. Wherever bands were in action the ople crowded the street corners to ten to the music, instead of hur- ing to their homes, a situation that d not exist when the invasion of erman territory was begun two eeks ago.

JEWS DESIRE OWN LAND IN PALESTINE (By Associated Press) Philadelphia, Dec. 17. - The Amer- ican Jewish congress tonight declared a resolution for a Jewish common- wealth in Palestine under the guid- ance of Great Britain, acting in be- half of such league of nations that may be formed. 'The declaration was adopted amid wild enthusiasm. The 400 delegates, representing more than 3,000,000 mem- bers of their race in the United States, rose and sang Hatikvoh, the Jewish anthem, expressing the hope that Palestine soon shall be the home- land of the Jews. This was followed by the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" and the waving of the Amer- ican and Jewish flags. SOME FRATERNITY HOUSES DAMAGED Differenit companies have clearly displayed their characteristics by the conditions in which the fraternity houses are now found to be. As can be exepected the older houses have suffered the most. In view of a few examples mention may be made of the Chi Psi house which, no doubt, has suffered the least, due to the fact that the build- ing was used as an infirmary. The Alpha Delta Phi house is in fair con- dition. Two of the oldest houses on the campus, the Psi Upsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon houses, show the ef- fects of the rough treatment receiv- ed at the hands of the companies that were quartered therein. In the Psi U house there is a large hole burned in the floor before the smoking room fireplace and a stone railing of a porch balcony is broken. The Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon houses are left in extremely good condition. Men are now working on.the Alpha Delta Phi, Phi Sigma Kappa, Psi Ome- ga, Xi Psi Phi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon houses.

A Young Men's Christian Association secretary in a village protested when an aged wom- an storekeeper refused the jet black coins he offered, briefly explaining, "No good." "But," insisted the Red Triangle man, "those coins are perfectly good. They were new and shiny when I put them in my pocket. I have been through a gas attack and the fumes have turned them black. See-" And he took out his knife and scraped until the bright metal was revealed. "Nonj" replied madame, still uncon- vinced. "Ce n'est pas bon." And she went on to explain that after a coin had been gassed, she did not want to have anything to do with it. Finally the man who had made the purchases was obliged to borrow enough from a fellow-worker to pay for what he had bought. "It is bad enough to go through the danger and discomfort of a gas attack without having perfectly good money ruined," mused the Y. M. C. A. man. "This matter ought to be held against the Boches- when the final settlement comes. It is the worst of all their crimes."
