Perhaps under the mmpresion that the two above 
mentioned misstatements may not have the effect 
of sufficiently increasing confidence in the Banks 
operating in Palestine, Mr. Silberzweig goes on to 
'suggest hhat these institutions should lower the 
amount of cash they keep in their safes. The per­
centage of cash kept is based upon the knowledge 
gained during many years of experience in the East 
and it is difticult to think that any diminution would 
add tp the feeling of confidence. 1
I should be glad if you could find it- possible to 
give the same prominence to this letter as you gave 
to the article which should have been headed “How 
to make the financial situation in Palestine more 
insecure.” "iYours faithfully

READING OF POEMS BY SIR HERBERT 
SAMUEL.
’ On Monday, January 8th, Sir Herbert Samuel 
gave a reading of poems to. the members of the 
Ladies’ Club and numerous visitors. The poems se­
lected were extraordinarily fine, and the reader’s 
voice peculiarly suited to the melody of verse, which 
he read with quiet case, and perfect rhythm, stop­
ping here and there to add a few words of comment. 
Among the poems selected). were James Elroy 
Flecker’s sonorous epic, “Hassan,” onvor two of 
Rupert Brooke’s poems, which though ranking below the greater poets, yet contains many lines of beauty, 
and the delightful triolet of Frances Cornford,
“OhI little fat lady whom nobody loves, Why do you walk in the fields in gloves?”
But Sir Herbert did not give the retort of the afore­
said lady to Frances Cornfordp . .
“Oh, little fat woman whom nobody shoots,
' Why do you walk in the fields in boots?”
A very effective, but rather gruesome war poem by 
Lt. Nicholls, called, “Going Over the Top,” was 
also included, and poems by Alice Meynell and 
Hilaire Belloc.
The afternoon afforded a great number of people 
an intellectual treat, and the Ladies’ Club are to be congratulated on providing Jerusalem with the kind 
of entertainment'that is so rare and so desirable.
"TRUMPELDOR."
The new year started under a good augury. On 
Jan. 3 we had the pleasure of attending the reading 
of a genuine classical tragedy “Joseph Trumpeldor. ” Mr. A. S. Domet, for this is the name of the gifted 
Syrian dramatist, proved once more, that a poet is 
inspired by) divine ideas, by virtue of which he is 
predestined to be a leader of his people. v
The glorification of the hero, Captain Trumpeldor, 
is shown with-masterly skill. Yet abdurrahim’s way 
of sacrificing his life for his friend and neighbour, 
the hero, makes him a reab representative of his 
people, All characters, especially Deborah, are 
beautifully characterized The mystical wanderer 
is a personification of the eternal searcher for truth, 
i tpg,g , w2je, ' - :*- 
the idealist. The drama in which the maltreated . 
soul of the country strives with ardent desire for the 
regain of the lost glory, leaves a deep impression.Richness of ideas, earnestness of thought, simplie- .. 
ity, and last, but not least, love for the truth, 
these are the main features of the excellent piece. ; 
We cannot but congratulate Palestine on her pro- : 
minent son, who so gallantly endeavours to use his 
talents solely for the welfare of his country., S. G.
THE PLEASURE PIE CONCERT PARTY’.
Jerusalem is becoming gay. Jerusalem is learning 
how “Coal Black Mammy” ought to be sung, and 
how the high kick ought to be kicked, and innume- 
able other tilings immeasurably beyond her ken. 
And it is the Pleasure Pie Concert Party that is 
training her, and transforming her, and teaching, 
her all the things she ought to know.
Concert parties are an inovation in ' Jerusalem, 
but judging by the crowd the Pleasure Pie attrac­
ted, they are a pleasing innovation. For four jolly 
nights this week, Zion Hall has dropped the serious 
side of life, and provided mirth and folly for all.
The Pleasure Pie Concert Party are as good a 
pierrot troupe as one could wish for. Miss Marie 
Clarke is altogether too bewitching for the safety of 
the Holy City, and her vitality and charm roused 
the audience to applause. Miss Georgina Fisher, 
proved to be equally popular. Mr. Leo Corniche,. 
who is an excellent pianist, made things go with a 
swing. The two comedians, Mr. Stephen Fitzgerald 
and Mr. Gordon Brown were too solemnly funny in 
their buffoonery, and kept the house easily amused, 
and Mr. Cunningham Graham created a more serious 
interlude by singing one or two ballads in a well 
modulated voice. Miss Hamilton was unfortunately 
ill, and was prevented from appearing. ’
It was altogether a successful trial, and the Plea­
sure Pie Coneert Party deserved the enthusiastic ’ 
welcome Jerusalem accorded them.
PARENTS NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL UNION.
A .meeting of the Jerusalem Branch was held at 
the house of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Bowman on Thurs­
day afternoon, the 4th instant, Mr. A. M. Hyamson 
in the chair. Among those present were Her 
Excellency Lady Samuel and Mrs. Deedes. Miss
Warburton, M.B.E., gave an address on John Amos Comenius. In the course of a remarkably interesting 
and instruetive talk the lecturrgave a brief sketch 
of Comeuius career, entering in more detail into 
his philosophy and his system of education, illustrat­
ing her subject by extracts from his. writings, and in 
short drawing an illuminating picture of this remark­
able seventeenth century educational reformer. 
Aft;-; a number of questions had been put by mem- 
hers—o the audience and replied to by Miss 
Warburton, the thanks of the meeting were accorded 
to her for her address and to Mr. and Mrs. Bowmat 
for their hospality.
The next meeting of the Branch will be held at the 
Evelina de Rothsehild School on February 6th, when ’/ 
Miss Nixon will spenk on the Bthiesf Punishment,
