D aas Near the Jaffa gate in Jerusalem stands the headquarters of the Ameri- ean Red Cross in Palestine. Perhaps you know, perhaps you do not know, that following the reclamation of the Holy Land by the British troops, un- der the leadership of General Sir Ed- mund Allenby, the American Red Cross was early in the field to carry on with its great humanitarian activities. The commission is headed by John HL Finley, state commissioner of educa- tion of New York, other members be- ing B. St. John Ward, Major Waters and Major Lowenstein. Beneath a glaring sun, with no boom- ing of cannon, except that which came occasionally from the front out toward Jericho, across the hills, the American Red Cross formally inaugurated its work in Palestine and celebrated the National holiday on July Fourth. blegrams, many days delayed, tojd of the celebration at the time, and now, after devious wanderings en route, the account of the affair in detail has reached the national headquarters of the Red Cross in Washington, D. C., together with a group of inferesting |special interest of America in the cap- |t future | pictures, some of which it would seem were literally taken from an illustrated edition of the Holy Bible. The mission of the American Red s to Palestine is best explained briefly in the words of Colonel Finley on that memorable day in his address of welcome to General Allenby, the honored guest of the occasion, which in part was as follows: “We have brought surgical and med- ical supplies, medical, engineering, in- | You have come to help set right the |trial department conducts two large |clic institutions. dustrial and social skill, material for | wrongs and to rebuild what military | workrooms and several village work- | raiment and for the establishment of Ca- | industries, plows, water pipe, sanitary equipment and much else, that have temporarily congested your railroads, but will ultimately contribute, as we hope, to the rehabilitation of the land that has in many parts been permitted to deteriorate till it seems that Isaiah’s prophecy of destruction has come upon ik General Allenby, in khaki and cover- ed with dust from his ride of twen the hills from general headquarters, was a powerful figure in the distinguished assemblage. A man with a determined face and with the kindliest eyes, he is just the type of commander the civilized world would wish to lead it in the recovery of its Holy Land. In replying to Colonel Fin- as follows: “Much has been done in Jerusalem |since I entered here in company with | i the heads of the French and Ttalian de- | tachments on December 11, 1917.

I am glad to greet the Americans to Jerusalem and espe- ‘r‘in]ly the, members of the American Red Cross Commission to Palestine on | this, their National holiday.” Colossal Undertaking. Since the inauguration of the work on July Fourth, according fo recent ca- |ble advices, the Amer n Red Cross has extended its territor include all of the occupied area under | the control of the British, of which | General Sir Arthur Money is the mili- tary governor. This means a colossal undertaking and one which it is impos- ible to visualize at this distance. It jmeans that in Jerusalem alone the American Red Cross hospital, which, |by the way, is located in one of the | spacious buildings of the Russian Com- | pound, is filled to its capacity, that the bacteriological laboratory is in full op- ‘ormmn and that a children’s hospital |of twenty beds has been opened. In |addition to this two hundred vatients are cared for daily at the clinic and | dispensary, and medieal service is also | given in various children’s institutions On the of Mount Zion, rounded by a heautiful garden, an or- | phanage has been es girls' orphanage.

Employment is also given to about fifteen hundred Moslem, Jewish | and Christian women alike in a large | | field of occupations, embracing spin- |ning, weaving, knitting, dressmaking, basketry, rug making, manufacture of | mattresses and other bedding, lace |work and embroidery.

The speech in full follows : Your Excellency, the President, and Members of Cross Committee: God has created men varying in character as much as they vary In appearance. Some are wicked, others good; some are pious, others impious ; some are mischievous, others well-doers. Those to whom he was well disposed he made do good ; those pre- ordained to do evil, do evil. This is the law of God in this creation, and no one can change His decrees, No one can dispute the fact known to God and confirmed by your noble history. Oh, citizens of America, that out of compassion and charity He created you to do good to humanity and has, through you, always accomplished good work, keeping you innocent of all evil doing. Joy and gladness to you and may God be praised who showers good on those He desires. No one can wonder at this when you are the Children of so generous a Mother, the great nation, I mean—Great Britain—with her glorious past and exalted glory. When gold is found in a gold mine no one wonders. When things are found where Nature has placed them, again no one wonders. A cup can only yield what it contains. Su‘h cubs can only be the off- spring of such lions. Your good works cannot be counted; that you should extend your arm from beyond the seas to grasp the hand of that Mother, full of love and compassion, for one reason only, to further the cause of the op- pressed and to turn aside with blows the hand of the oppressor in this bloody and fearful war, the like of which man has never seen before and, by God’s will, may never see again, such glory and honor before God and man will suffice. To extend a helping hand to the children of Syria and Palestine in your native land, America, was not enough, but you have crossed the sea and desert and undergone the hardships of this present time to succor the poor and homeless widows and orphans of all Palestine and, more especially, of the Holy City, the City of Prophets of God, where we are all now united. On behalf of these in general, and of Moslems in particular, I burn incense on the altars of gratitude and pray the at God to make you a good reward, defend you from every evil, make your benevolent un- dertakings successful and hasten the days of peace which we all await impatiently. I close by praying for his Majesty, King George, and his nation, for the President of the Unifed States, Mr. Wilson, and his countrymen, and for all those who love good and peace. Amen.
