mire the perfect stage management with
which they arc carried out. There IS
never a hitch, never the slightest pause
in the smooth machinery OF the pageant.
Everybody knows what to do and does II
without hesitation. At the opening OF
the Victoria and Albert Museum recently,
though the stage was new. the procession
long and several of those who composed
it were new to their parts. the ceremony
advanced from beginning to end with as
much precision as ii it had been the sub
ject of infinite rehearsal. Nevertheless,
some of the audience were rather i'm
patient at the delay which occurred be-
fore they were released from the theater
after the performance. An eminent judge,
who. perhaps, had an appointment, eA-
poStulated with the ushers for keeping
him priSoner-a novel position for a
Judge. But the court officials, though
blaudly apelogetic, were adamantine.
Even ambassadors and cabinet ministers
had to bow to their ruling. Yet the in
terval after the king and queen had de-
parted was full of interest 1t was
kind of informal levee. The Russian am
hassador left the diplomatic pen and chat
ted with the msmbers of the duma who
are now enjoying English hospitality.
Mrs. Asquith crossed the dais, and. after
greeting several other diplomats. entered
into a long conversation with Whi;elaw
Reid. Mr.. Baifour discussed art. or it
might have been finance. with j. Pierpont

titled to credit for doing these things

The good will Of the Turkish govern
ment toward the Jews throughout the
world has been conveyed by two Jewish
deputies Of the parliament to the Jews
OF America through the correspondent Of
the Jewish Morning Journal of New York.
The two deputies are Nissum Effendi
Mazliach OF Smyrna and David Sasson
Of Bagdad, who have just gone to Eng
land with the Turkish deputation to the
British government. Mazliach is the sec
rotary Of the Turkish parliament. one of
the foremost leaders Of the Young Turks
and also a devout Jew. Sasson Is also
prominent in Turkish politics and at the
same time strongly interested In Jewish
affairs.
Speaking to the correspondent of the
Yiddish daily both deputies sent their
greetings to the Jews of America and
expressed anew the friendly attitude OF
their government toward the Jews. Ac-
cording to the cable of the correspondent
to the Jewish Morning Journal NJ Maz-
liach did most of the taking. NJ. Sasson
frequently nodded his approval and only
from time to time yentufed to make some
remarks of his own.
Referring to the invitation Of the presi-
dent of the Turkish parliament extended
to Jews living In lands OF oppression to
come to Turkey, N. Mazliach was care
full to remark that the Jews have been
invited individually and not as national
entity. The government has extended the
Invitation. he says. because 1t knows OF
the great benefits which 1t may derive
from Jewish immigration. Both depA-
ties. however. thought that 1t would be
better for the Jews not to concentrate In
any one particular place. but to settle
throughout the whole land Of Turkey.
They also remarked that it would be bet
ter if at present the Jews did not make
any political demands. The Turkish depu-
ties assured the correspondent that the
difficulties which still prevail in the way
of the Jews entering Turkey and Palestine
would soon be removed.

success of the English church pageant
and in response to a universally ex-
pressed desire. the executive committee
of the pageant, having had the grounds
of Fulham palace again generously placed
at its disposal by the Bishop OF Lon
don, has decided to hold another church
pageant in the summer of next year.
1t feels that the educational value Of
this years pageant has been SO great
and the demand for seats SO enormous
that this decision will be welcomed by
the hundreds Of THOUSANDS who have not
had an opportunity of seeing the pageant
which came to an end last Saturday even
ing
No program of scenes for next years
pageant has so far been arranged, but II
may be taken for granted that new scenes
in the churchs history, appealing to all
sections of the community, will hnd
place in the contemplated performances,
the executive committee retaining some
of the episodes in this years pageant
which have met with SO much approval
from public and press alike.
With the experience gained ana tne
