cent, for Haf1a, Saffed, Tiberias, upper

Complying with your wishes, a new
committee has been constituted at

out that the other sections of Palestine
have had, even prior to the war. repre-
sentative committees selected by the
community for the transaction of com

without such a committee. In order to
centralize the work in that city. and
thereby eliminate confusion in the dis

up the elaborate musical offering of the
San Carlos Grand Opera Company at the
Belasco Theater yesterday.

that admirably fits the part, Miss Hood
possesses the rare charm of youthful
beauty and a well trained soprano voice,
clear and sweet throughout its wide
range, with a f1exibility that enabled her
to amply meet the exacting requirements
of the score. In the jewel song and In the

quately met expectations. while the Me-

toned ability and Anne Haas the role
Of Mama Lucia. with Angelo Antola as
AIfao. In 'I Pagliacci' NJ. Antola ap-
peared again as Tonic, Anita Sedel-
mayer as Media, Luciano Rossini as
Harlequin. Giuseppe Agostino as Canio

Il take it that lis not known to
your committee. states the pastor,
that this matter has been investigat-
ed by the ministers of the various

the case were developed, showing that
the Gospel Mission does an immense
amount of Christian work in this city
at an amazingly low cost, and that not
only is it doing more work more eco
nomically, but it's plant Is cleaner, its
activities much more diversified and
varied. and it has won the sympathy
and support not alone of the rank and

charitably inclined out of the city as
