BLDG ' 160 MAIN first was created in the world by a written consti- . tution. It was really an offshoot from Massachusetts, for in 1636 there, Was dissatisfaction over the form of government among the Puritans in Cambridge, Watertown and Dorchester, the three towns surrounding Boston. A large part of these three towns, therefore, decided to journey to the Connecticut valley, as they had heard hat there was to be found excellent farm land, and the Dutch from New Netherlands had been forced out the previous year by tlie erection by the English. of a fort at Saybrook at the mouth of the river. The Cambridge people, under the leadership of their pastor. Hooker, founded Hartford, the Dorchester people settled Windsor, and those from Watertown established Wethersfield. Tor a few years they remained! a part of Massachusetts, but early in 1639 the people of these three towns met and drew up a written constitution and agreed to govern themselves. Meanwhile, in 1638, a large company of colonists under the leader-- , ship of John Davenport arrived from England and settled the town of New Haven, later spreading to Milford and Stamford. These two distinct colonies were later united and took the name of Connecticut from Its principal river. This is an Algonquin Indian name meaning long river. It became the fifth state to Join the Union when it adopted the Constitution on January 9, 1788. ' It is sometimes called the Land of. Steady Habits, but is more popularly known as the Nutmeg state from the humorous accusation that its peddlers were accustomed to palm off wooden nutmegs to their customers. The area of Connecticut is 4,965 square miles, the third smallest Of our states, Jts population, however, entitles it to seven electoral votes for President. MASSACHUSETTS Massachusetts Indian word, means great hill. which at the It was used by the to designate the tripe living near! Blue Hill in Mil ton, now a state reservation near Boston and the highest hill in the eastern part .of the state. This name was later applied to the great bay which Blue Hill overlooks. It was from this bay that the state was called the Massachusetts Bay colony, and after that the Province of Massachusetts Bay until the Revolution made it a commonwealth. Even today it is often called the Bay state. It was Capt. John' Smith who first jnade a map of the New England coast and named the Charles river in honor of Baby Charles, who afterward became King Charles L Other captains visited the coast from time to time, but it was not until the fall of 1620 that the Mayflower brought the first permanent settlers to the Massachusetts shore. The landing of the Pilgrims at Provincetown and Plymouth three hundred years ago was recently celebrated. Of the original one hundred passengers on the Mayflower more than half died during the first winter. But the sturdy survivors, with indomitable courage, soon became firmly established and from their beginning, augmented by . the Puritan settlements of Salem and the towns around Boston, grew the state of Massachusetts, which now extends over 8,288 square miles. In proportion to its area Massachusetts is second only to Rhode Island in population and has eighteen presidential electoral votes. This makes Massachusetts one of the six most important states from a political point of view.

When General made his triumphant entry through the Jaffa gate December 11, 1917, a new era was ushered in for Jerusalem and Palestine. His army .brought Christendom the gift of the After long lost Holy City. thirteen centuries of Turkish misrule, with two .short intervals of Christian rule at the time of the Crusades, Jerusalem is now forever delivered from Moslem domination. In a sense Jerusalem is the religious capital of the world. It is a holy city for Jew, Christian and Moslem. All three there observe the, spring festival in different, ways with different ritual, but all With elaborate religious ceremonial. No other place, is so. equally holy to go many, classes of re, ligious belief. .To the Jews the celebration of the Passover this year will be of significance as profound as the observance of Easter to the Christians. With the restoration of Zion in sight a new meaning will be, given to the closing benediction of the ceremony which prays for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple and the restoration of the ancient rites and sacri.. ' fices. ' The great powers of the world may differ widel; that arise in the reshaping of the world after the World war, but on one subject they seem practically agreed! They are apparently committed to the transformation of Palestine from an Ottoman province to an autonomous Jewish state under allied protection. Just what form that state shall take appears to be still a question more or less open. Even the Jews, themselves are not at all of one mind on this question. The political views and denominational prejudices of various factions of the Hebrew race are so widely at variance, in fact, that It has even been suggested that it might be well to establish a monarchial form of government at Jerusalem under the scepter of some European ' , dynasty. to be This proposition appears entirely imprac- ticable and for many reasons. Jews have been necessarily influenced by that particular Gentile nation which has sheltered them. For example, the Jews of America would have no patience with a king, even with a King of Jerusalem. Again, a King of Jerusalem, in order to be in complete sympathy with his people, would have to be of the blood and religion. And there is no such prince In Europe; every one is a Christian or a Moslem. All of which brings us to the strange and interesting fact that there is already a King of Jerusalem several of them, in fact. This is to say that at least one reigning sovereign of Europe, Alfonzo XIII of Spain, claims the title of King of Jerusa- lem, through inheritance from remote ages. Two other reigning monarchs, George V of Great Britain and yictor Emmanuel IH of Italy, no longer include it in the official list of their titles. The dethroned emperor, Charles of Austria-Hungarstill prides himself upon its possession. Nobody seems to know whether the former Kaiser of Germany still clings to this title, which he boldly assumed at the time of his theatrical entry into Jerusalem in 1898. In the case of Alfonzo and Charles the claim to the title of King of Jerusalem dates from the in Mun-sey- s Crusades, writes Frederick Cunliffe-OweGodfrey de Bouillon, Duke of Magazine. Lorraine, leader of the first of those wonderful military pilgrimages to the Holy Land, was proclaimed King of Jerusalem by his victorious army after the capture of the ancient Hebrew capital It will be recalled that be refused to be crowned with a diadem of gold, declaring that where the Founder of Christianity had worn a crown of thorns it was not meet that one of His followers should don a circlet of precious metals and Jewels, or even wear the laurels of a victor., Consequently if the medieval tradition is correct he was solemnly crowned King of Jerusalem with a crow of thorns. On Godfreys death, in 1100, he was succeeded on the throne by his brother Baldwin ; and from that time forth all the Dukes of Lorraine were also titular Kings of Jerusalem, until their dynasty became merged in the house of Hapsburg, through the marriage of Francis of Lorraine to the Empress Maria Theresa, daughter of Charles VL last of the German emperors of the direct male line of Hapsburg. This gave the Austrian rulers a right to style themselves with the but empty title. They also had another claim to it. Indeed, they had used It for centuries before Maria Theresas marriage to Francis of Lorraine. Away back in 1229, Frederick, II of the house of Hohenstaufen, King of Sicily and Holy Roman Emperor, caused himself to be crowned at Jerusalem as king of the Holy City. He claimed this dignity, not only bei cause he had reconquered the city from the Saracens, who had held it since 1187, but also as the husband of John of Briennes daughter and hejr-M- s Yolande.

It took its name from the town into Jerusalem in 1898, when he rode into the Holy and castle of Lusignan, in the French department of Vienne, about a dozen miles to the southeast City arrayed in the white mantle of the crusader of Poitiers.
