as on the sanitary condition of the
town depends the health ui the popula-
ton. Much thought must also be given
to the water problem. The water sup
ply that Jerusalem possesses, even at
the present time, is insufficient. 1t is
easy to imagine that as che town en-
pands. his problem of the water supply
will lc become the more acute. The
watc.s of Ain-Pharah and the waters
of Alphuar on the north Vi Jerusalem

supply for Jerusalem. ,Istern water

The condition of the present roads
is deplorable and is hinderance to-

rainy season. Electrical stations must

planting of trees and the formation of

care should be taken, as Jerusalem has

excellent natural beauty spots. which
should be brought into prominence by
the introduction of paths, drives and
other approaches. 1t should be seen
to that every inhabitant and every
tourist should be attracted by the
treasures of Jerusalem. In the past
the tourists were source of income

Raymond B. Fosdick. who arrived yes

from Liverpool, declared the league Of
nations is going concern and that
Europe regards the United States as
nation Of "quitters." Mr.. Fosdick re-
signed recently as under secretary gen.
eral of the league. For month he
has been in London and Paris finishing
his work.
I'm spite Of the refusal Of the United
States to join the compact the league
OF nations is now a going concern"
sair Mr.. Fosdick. "Its machinery is
practically completed, its finances are
ample and 1t is beginning to make itself
felt in international affairs. All the
countries that were neutral during the
war have Joined. Every country in
South America, except Ecuador, is a
member. Even the two countries that
nave been more or less under our par
tieular care-Liberia and Panama
have Joined.
meanwhile the United States stands
sloof. Our isolation is complete. and
we face the rest Of the world in al
lance: 1t is foolish to assume that the
situation has no elements Of danger in
1t for U.S.. Our position is one of peril.
q fact that is evidently realized in
Washington, judging from the plans
that are being laid for the biggest navy
IN the world. The price of our isola-
tlon will be armsments.
For 1t must not be forgotten that
the ghastly business in Washington has
left US without friend anywhere. All
that we won during the war we have
deliberately thrown away. The in
nuence. that we had, our position of
leadership, the affection in which every

have all gone by the board. The last
three months have brought a complete
change Of opinion. Only one who has
been IN Europe recently can realize the
depth and bitterness of the feeling
against US. We are regarded as a race
Of 'quitters,' and our professions of
idealism and disinterestedness are
marked down for sham and hypocrisy.
I'VE started something that we later
refused to see through. We left Europe
in the lurch in the middle of the game,
after imposing on her our rules and
procedure. We threw the league out Of
the window to satisfy miserable po-
litical quarrel. That Is the way Europe
looks at 1t. A high French official nut
the situation to me as follows: There

hesitate to declare that in all inter

The diplomatic commentator of the

follows:
Premier Lloyd George asks Franco
