London, Oct. 27.-Sufferings Of the
poor In Palestine, particularly in Je-
rusalem, are set forth in letters from
the Hebrew teachers in that section
which have been received here by
leaders Of the Zionist movement.
Hunger and the extortionate prices
charged for food are the chief causes
of distress. The price of bread has
advanced eleven-fold since the begin
ming of the war. Petroleum costs
thirty times as much as in 1914 and
milk five times the ante-war price.
Paper money, the teachers assert,
has declined in Palestine to one-fourth
its nominal gold value but the price
of food and fuel has risen out of all
proportion to even the depreciation Of
currency Concerning the situation
In Jerusalem, one teacher wrote:
"This las: year has caused enorm-
Gus changes in Jerusalem, and unfor-
tunately all for the bad. You miss
half your old friends they are either
dead or gone Those who remain
are depressed and exhausted by their
sufferings, great and small. The
money evil has become intolerab1e. In
Constantfnople paper money circulates
freely; hero you must pay in coin or
fourfold the price in paper. The
misery of the poor is unspeal.able.
The roads are lined with starving
persons, who lie about begging for
a mouthful of bread. The poor Jews
sell all their neutrality-suspicious.. lin
en-, bed ,covers-to the soldiers to get
a few metaliks for food. Epidemics
have somewhat abated, and the
spotted typhus is less severe. But
most of the patients die, because,
owing to the lack of nourishment,
they cannot resist disease. The mis-
cry which I have witnessed beggars
all description"
Early this year the Turkish author
tiles founded a wheat syndicate at Je-
rusalem, with the idea of steadying
prices and ensuring supplies. It
worked very well, especially from the
point of view of the poor. It has
now been suspended, and replaced by
Government Commission. The
change is very much for the worse.
The Headmaster of the Hebrew
Boys School in Jerusalem thus re-
ports on his school:
Our pupils being to the poorest of
the poor. Among 200 there are 81
orphans. The parents have died dur
ing this dreadful time. The children
are in an unbelievable plight. They
