They do say that a new agreement is brewing between the Palestine govern¬ ment and the Zionists which will end all the di.safFectlon about immigration. It is said that the British governraeut is ready to allow an immigration of, 30,000 annu¬ ally, with the condition that there he no illegal entry.
It may interest you to know tliat at the most sacred .shrine of Christendom, the Church of the Nativity in Bcthlclieni, Palestine, when the Christmas services were held this year, about half of thi people in the church were Jews, Came as spectators of course.
The New York Stm this week had an intcrestingf article about Jacob Hays, the only Jewish chief of police New York ever had. Hays was police chief of the metropolis around the 1820's. He had an international reputation as a crime de¬ tector. Funny thing about- Hays was that he refused to go armed. He was a man of Max Baer's proportions and ap¬ parently also of his strength, for it is said, that criminals quaked before him, though he was unarmed. ,
He said, he didn't like to go armed.
for fear of killiiig people.   Then, he said,
you had to bury the killed,, and that was
. a great nuisance.    It, is—come to think
about it.
Hays by the way was the son of Mrs. Hays, whose home in Westchester was burned down hy the British d'uring'the Revolution, The story goes that the British entered her home, when she was alone with her sick child, her husband beinff away with the American soldiers.
"Tell us where the Americans arc," ii sisted the British,   Mrs. Hays refused to ptay the traitor,
"Set fire to the house,',' said the British colonel.
And it ivas done. 1

A cousin of Chief of Police Hays, Reuben Etting, had a rather strange ex¬ perience with the British troops.
He was captured at Charlestown, Mass., by the British, -
"Aha," they said, as they looked at him, "a Jew!"
They decided to amuse themselves with a little interesting torture. He was given only pork to eat.
Etting was a pious Jew—and he re¬ fused to eat the pork but he managed to subsist in a semi-starved fa.shipn from the leavings given to him by the other prisoners.
. However, his bodily resistance suffered, and shortly after his release, he died from tuberculosis.
The Solis-Coheas of Philadelphia arc descendants of the Hays family.
One of the most interesting persons of the faculty of the University of Exile is Max Werthheimer. Regarded as the greatest theorician, of the new Geslalt psychology,
Werthheimer is a close friend, of Ein¬ stein, and incidentally, the Gestalt psy¬ chology has (retjuently been said to he to psychology what relativity is to physics.
Another interesting figure is Herman Kantorowicz, one of the greatest living philosoplicrs in the field of jurisprudence. Jurisprudence covers the philosophical field of the law and you may take Dr. Alvin S. Johnson's word for it—that the field of Jurisprudence Tias in America been satlly neglected. Aiid Johnson, who founded the Exile College, believes that the coming of the German Jews will have a marked effect in developing this phase of the law.
