JEWISH ART THEATRE HAS NEW

AS we predicted in former issue,
the partnership between the new jew
ish Art Theatre and its Art Director.
Emanuel Reicher, was not destined to
be Il lasting one.
1t has now been officially announced
that Emanuel Reicher has resigned his
post and that his place is to be taken

NOV.
To be sure, the Art Theatre In :
not distinguished itself by its wealth
of repertoire, and in this respect per-
haps Ossip Dymow will ;mp-1,e ma.
ters but the artistic side. the scenic
mounting, will certainly lose by Reich
er's departure. And If the Jewish Art
Theatre has come to stand for any
thing distinctive and has attained some
degree of popularity, it has been owing
for the most part, TO Reichers staging
and mounting of the productions.

\ COMMERCIAL COLLEGE II
PALESTINE.

Education In Palestine has hitherto
teen mainly of an academic char-
acter, and has failed to give due con-
siderat,on to the necessities of the
country. Hence the Jaffa Commercial
Association recently convened a spe-
cial meeting for the purpose of i'm
proving this unsatisfactory state of af-
fairs, so that when an official is want
I'd for some bank or an office he might
lie found in the country instead Of
l,eing imported from abroad. Many
local merchants sons are incapable of
continuing their fathers work, as they
bave had no commercial training. Some
are attending the Missionaries schools
which are better adapted to the needs
OF the population. With the coming
Of the new regime. all the vacant sit
ations were filled by nOn-Jews as
there were no others sufficiently quail
fled.
The meeting considering all the re-
quirements, resolved to open in Jaffa

four classes, at their own expense.
without invoking the material help of
any public body. The first class will
be opened shortly. Any holder of II

&, this institute as student.
The foreign languages that will be
taught are Arabic, English and French.

correspondence. typewriting and short

DR.. Isaac Epstein and Mr.. Yechiali,
head of the teachers organization,
were present and both congratulated
the association on their new enterprise.
The institute will be maintained by
fees. The deficit will be covered by
an annual tax of f6 at least on every
merchant. Sixteen people contributed

From Mizpeh's mountain-side they saw
Jerusalem's empty streets, her shrine
Laid waste where Greeks profaned the

With idol and with pagan sign.
Mourners in tattered black were there
With ashes sprinkled on their hair.
Then from the stony peak there rang
A blast to ope the graves: down pour.

The Maccabean clan, wno sang
Their battle-antheni to the Lord.
Five heroes lead, and following, see,
Ten thousand rush to victory!
Oh. for Jerusalem's trumpet now,
To blow blast of shattering power
To wake the sleepersi high and low.
And rouse them to the urgent hour
No band for vengeance-Dut to save.
a million naked swords should wave.
Oh, deem not dead thar martial fire.
Say not the mystic flame is spent
With Moses law and David's Tyre,
Your ancient strength remains un-
bent.
Let but an Ezra rise nnew,
To lift the Banner Of the jew!
A rag, mock at first-ere long.
When men have bled and women
wept,

Even they who shrunk, even they
who slept.
Shall leap to bless it and to save.

one o ftheir complaints has been that
in the redistricting of Poland for the

drawn as to disregard important local
groupings. Meanwhile Premier Pade-

Crashes Through Bank
Building in Chicago.

Chicago, July 22.--Federal, state,
county and municipal authorities be-
gan today their probe OF Chicago's
welrdest tragedy when giant dir
igible balloon--the first army-style
blimp TO visit the city--hurled
through the slSylight OF the Illinois
Trust & Savings bank, killing eleven
persons, injuring twenty-eight and
turning the counting room OF the
bank into a charnel house OF horror.
The first official investigation viii
come when Coroner Hoffman sum-
mons a jury for the inquest over the
bodies Of the dead. States Attorney
Hoyne, also Is conducting a probe
and has declared that prosecution will
follow II any evidence Of negligence
is discovered. Federal authorities
have not determined their course of
procedure but will go into every
phase of the subject.
One almost certain result OF the
disaster is that the council will draft
and pass ordinances regulating fu-
fure traffic over the city by aircraft
Of all descriptions.
First Accident Of Kind.
The accident is the first of its kind
that ever has occurred over a great
CITY. Dirlgibles have crashed TO
earth over battlefelds or above avia-
tion camps, but never before has
huge balloon crashed down In the
crowded heart Of a metropolis. For
this reason IL is not unlikely that
