PALESTINE CENSUS [5 NOW COMPLETED Population of Country Totals 07,182 Latest Report Shows Jerusalem, March 16.—~Palestine has a total population of 767,182, ac- cording to the fifures of the census of three months ago, This figure equals approximately the population of the city of Boston as given by the of- flelal count in 1920, Ten per cent of the people in Palestine are given as Christlan; 11 per cent as Jeys, and 79 per cent as Mohammedans. The fig- ures for Christians and Jews are re- garded here as about correct, but there was such strong opposition to the census on the part of the Moham- medans that their number probably is considerably underestimated. In two cities only is there a pro ponderent Jewish population, Jerusa- lem and Tiberlas. In the former, out WING to numerous requests from people who were un- able to come in last week due to sickness, I will extend this offer the rest of this week.

Here there are 5,838 of this faith, 818 Mo- hammedans and two Jews. Nazareth has a population of 7,424, of which roughly two-thirds are Christian, one- third Moslem, and only 63 Jews. The principal seaport, Jaffa, has about 47,000 people, of whom there are 20,- 000 each of Jews and Mohammedans, and about 7,000 Christiaps. The oth- er large centers of population are very largely Mohammedan, The Palestine Weekly, a Zionist or- gan, claims that according to Roman figures this country has supported a population of 7,000,000, but when one considers that the area of Palestine is about equal to that of Vermont and that it has about an equal amount of arable land, one questions seriously whether, with the highest develop- ment of her natural resources, it will be possible for Palestine ever to sup- port a greatly augmented population. Vermont, in 1920, counted 352,428 people within the state, { REJECTS HATS AND GOWNS FROM FRANCE Berlin Puts Taboo on Imports Since Occupation of the Rubr Berlin, March 16.—Frieda and Gretchen are to have fio more Paris gowns. There are to be no more smart little hats brought to Germany from the fashionable millinery shops on the Place Vendome and the Rue de la Paix. These articles are not permitted to cross the German boundary since the French invasion of the Ruhr, and the leaders of the German fashion indus- French models are not to be bought either directly or indirectly. High prices in France had pre- vented German firms from buying many models. Consequently the im- portations of such finery from France had been inconsiderable as compared to pre-war times. But Berlin mo- distes were slowly resuming their Parig trips and buying limited quan- tities of late creations, when the Ruhr trouble came along and brought the general boycott against articles made in France. Little Difference. Baron Drecoll, managing director of one of the Berlin's greatest fashion shops, ‘told the correspondent of The Associated Press that this latest pro- hibition will make little difference to Berlin designers, as they have not relied directly on Paris for their styles since the beginning of the war and have, to a great extent, become creators of their own models. “Of course, many of our ideas come from Paris. It is foolish to deny that Paris leads in the creation of modes,” declared the Baron. “But Germany has learned to develop Parisian suggestions and adapt them. In many cases they are greatly modi- fied, as Parisian designs are often too extreme for our trade. The pro- Irench goods will affect modistes and milliners only in two lines, silk and flowers. It is difficult. to replace certain Jrench silks and flowers.” Working Yogethep. oy Vienna and Berlin have been working together in the development of modes since the beginning of the world war. Because of the low ex- change they have been successful in developing a considerable trade: for model gowns in the Scandinavian countries, the Balkans and Central Europe. American and French fashion magazines have been the source of many ideas for the German and Austrian fashion creators. They also send their representatives to the great watering places on ‘the Riviera and have little difficulty in keeping up with the latest French ideas, In Berlin virtually all French and Belgian nationals occupying apart- ments or rooms are being dispos- sessed. They were barred .in Janu- ary from all hotels. There are about 8,000 French and 1,000 Belgians resi- dent in the city. In the stores merchants and clerks have no time for Frenchmen and will not knowingly serve them. Women clerks in shops ate even more bitter against the French than men, and take great pains to make sure their customers are pot their most hated enemies. Frenchmen are brusquely ordered out of business houses as soon as thefr nationality becomes known.
