 London, April 16.-"Palestine is now a German province in the fullest sense of the word," says pr. Edmond Pasternak, for many years practising physician in Jerusalem, who was only recently released by the Turkish au- thorities and allowed to return to Europe.

 Typhoid Fever Among Turks.
 Typhoid fever is making dreadful ravages among the Turkish soldiers. The Germans are beginning to fight it. scientifically, however, and they are in complete possession of the Bacter- iological Institute which is turning out large quantities of anti-typhoid vaccine.
 Palestine is a ruined country to- day. The food supply Is very low, and every resource is being turned to military purposes. The ordinary popu- lation is left helpless and hopeless. Tie progress of Jewish colinization has been set back many years.
 Persecute Jewish Colonists.
 -"Djema1 Pasha began, from the very day of his arrival to persecute the Jewish colonists. One of the first acts of his administration was his ar rival in the offices of the British Palestine bank, where he demanded the immediate surrender of all ready money. Happily, all the funds of the institution had previously been sent away to a safe place, and, maddened by this thwarting of his plans, the Turkish commander ordered the ar rest of the banks director, who, to save his. head, had to become an Ottoman subject.
 "After the forcible expulsion of the Jews from Jaffa, Djemal Pasha ordered thirty prominent Jews of Jaffa to be brought ru Jerusalem. Sixteen were freed after many days in prison; the fate of the fourteen others is unknown, despite all efforts to learn what became of them.
