over the places which are holy to
them all, and it is clear that there
must be neutral or joint administers
ton. A Christian state under Brit
ish protection, is England's idea Of
the solution, on the ground that
Great Britain has had more expert
-ence in governing people of various
races and creeds, but the other ma
tions will naturally protest that Eng
land is grabbing more than her share
of the plumber.
A neutral state guaranteed by all
the great powers, order being kept
by, and the. guardianship of the Holy
Place entrusted to an international
gendarmerie, is another suggested So
luton, but recent experiences of in
ternational control in Macedonia,
Crete, Albania, etc, do not promise
the elimination of friction. Looking
around, then, for an impartial ad-
ministrator, removed from the whirl-
pool of European politics and reli-
gious squabbles, the Powers may find
no more satisfactory candidate for
the job than America It is pointed
out that the United States has for
many years taken leading part in
missionary and educational work in
Asia Minor and no country has dis
played more enthusiasm with less
idea of personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

One thing that made Williams look
mighty good in his contests in New
York City was his splendid condition.
He fairly radiated good health. He
started off like a veritable whirlwind
in his bout with Brandt And each
round saw his speed increasing
little. In the tenth round he was
going like buzz and didn't give the
least impression of being tired. !
Williams will have a tremendous
handicap to overcome, however,
when he tangles with the king of the
featherweights. Kilbane will have a
tremendous advantage in height and

wallop, too, as he has demonstrated
on several occasions.
Over the six-round course the wise

miniOn in 1916, after the war be-
tween the Ottoman Sultan and the
Egyptian Mamelukes, and for 800
years the sanguinary quarrels of the
landed shiekhs and the never-ending
exaction of Oriental grafters kept the
country in a state of chaos and de-
preston. In 1870 the power of the
Sheikhs was broken and the Turks
began to strengthen their hold, but
although they have done much for
the improvement of the country, the
blight of Ottoman rule still oppressed

At first sight it would appear to be
the simplest plan to grant the Zion
lists appeal for a Jewish state, but
there are difficulties in the way. If
there were the nuclei of a Jewish ad-
ministration in the country, it might
be easier, but there are not, and the
Zionist movement has not led to any
great stream of Jewish immigration.
There has been but little agricultural,
