TO ERECT MONUMENT IN
MEMORY OF RABBI KILLED
AIDING CHRISTIAN SOLDIER

Paris.-On the 18th of August,
1914, a barn at Traintrux, in the Vos-
ges, which was serving the purpose of
temporary hospital, caught fire in
tue course Of the military operations
While the wounded were being evac
uat'd, one Of them, sect Y tie Chef
Rabbi of Lyons, Abraham Bloch WHO
was attached to the 14th Corps as
Chaplain, and believing him to be a
Catholic priest, asked for a crucifx in
order that he might kiss it before he
died. The Rabbi did not undeceive the
wounded man, but, with the shells
falling around him, went to a Cath
Ollie chaplain to borrow a crucifx from
him. Immediately afterwards the
Rabbi was himself struck by shell,
monument may be erected. On the
monument will be engraved the story
of the Rabbits death and an expression
Of gratitude Of his co-religionists. In
the appeal for subscriptions, which is
made to the Jews Of France and AL
geria, Baron Edouard De Rothschild,
president Of the Central Consistory,
and the Chief Rabbi, Israel Levi, re-
call the beautiful lines in which NJ
Gabriel Seailles glorifes the act Of
the Rabbi:
This Jewish priest had nothing to
learn from the Good Samaritan. Like
him, he has found his revelation in his
own heart He knew that the term
neighbour meant the man to whom
his Law commanded him to love as
himself. To him neighbour meant
every man, and above all him whose
suffering calls for pity and demands
the work Of mercy. Suffering is the
great fatherland where all men are
neighbors and brothers. What we
feel most deeply in the action Of Abra-
ham Bloch is that we find in it the best
embodiment of the Jewish spirit. His
action rose far above dogmas, rites
and Symbols. His act displayed re-
ligion in its purest form, without ia,
naticism, without the spirit of domi-
nation, beyond everything the unity
Of the human soul in love and in pity"
In order to give this manifestation
its true character, and to enable all
co-religionists Of the dead hero to have
a share in it, the Central ConsiSory
has fixed a maximum amount Of sub
scriptions at ten francs.

PALESTINE IMPORTS AND EX-
PORTS.

The imports for the three months
ending June, 1919, for three Jewish
centers in Palestine, was as follows:
Haifa, value in LIE 465, 14S; Jaffa, LIE
314,667; Jerusalem, LIE 270;916. Hal.
ia is the greatest importing center,
after which comes Jaffa, Jerusalem,
GAIA, Tulkeram, Khan Yunis Bee:
Sheba, Judd, Acre, whose imports
were only LIE IL. Haifa also leads in
exports to the amount of LIE 1920,
followed by Judd, LIE. 39,426; Tul-
keram, LIE. 34,lS4; Jaffa, LIE. 1885;
Acre, LIE. 2,O77; and jerusalem, LIE.
1887. (These figures and the data
which follow were obtained from Of
fetal sources).
The chief articles imported in or
der Of value were as follows: Cotton
fabrics, LIE. 434,S65; rice, 1929; Pc
troleum, LIE. 4O,O55; cotton yarn, LIE.
S2,S54; refined sugar, LIE. 3l,5l4;
Soap, LIE. 1886; wine, LIE. 1897;
while the chief exports are in value:
dura coarse flour, LIE. 1892; or
anges, LIE. 1923, and olive oil LIE.
1897. LIE. 3,476 worth of sugar was
imported through Haifa for this Pc
riod, while through the same port LIE.
9l2 worth Of nuts (including Picta-
CHA nuts) were exported, as we'll as
LIE. 3,4S6 worth Of apricot paste.
(Apricots are plentiful in season in
Palestine, but as they cannot keep
long and there is pc provision for cold
storage, much Of the fruit is wasted.
Often to prevent waste they are
boiled to liquid, which, when cool,
hardens and is eaten in strips as a
nutritious SWEET. Potatoes are not
plentiful or Of good quality; for this
period they were imported through
Jaffa, Haifa and Acre to the value of
LIE. $4,000.
The fishing trade, for which the long
coast line Of Palestine is particularly
suited, is not developed, and as much
as LIE. 1878 worth OF sailed and
smoked fish was imported during
April, May and June last, mostly from
Great Britain and Egypt. (Prepara-
tons are being made for Jewish enter
prise in this direction.) Paper was
imported az follows: Cigarette, LIE.
6,657; writing, LIE. 1,6i9; wrapping,
LIE. 6S7; other paper and printed mat
ter, LIE. 3,l6S. The making of match
es is an industry that could be profit
able in Palestine. The value of those
imported reached LIE. 2S,553 during
the period mentioned above. But as
most Of the matches come from ia
pan, competition would have to be
faced owing to their low price. Wool
en- fabrics imported were worth LIE.

ing from Great Britain. Great Brit
ain, India and Japan sent silk fabrics
imported as follows: Cigarette, LIE.
2,l84 worth Of linen came in. The
following contrast shows the lack Of
clothing manufacture: Clothing i'm
