JEWS INVEST HEAVILY
 IN PALESTINE LANDS

JERUSALEM, July 2. P)-The Jewish National Fund has invested almost $6,000,0O0 in the purchase and improvement of land in Palestine from October, 1920, to April, 1925, approximately the period of Sir Her bert Samuel's administration as high commissioner, according to report issued by the world headquarters of the fund here.
 Of this money $5,194,440 was spent in the purchase of agricultural and urban land and $774,150 in land inn provements, including the drying up of swamps, road building, water SUD- ply installation and building loans to new settlers.
 Twenty-nine of the 43 colonies es- tablished by the Palestine Founda- tion Fund (Keren Hayesod) during this period, were built on land pur- chased by the Jewish National Fund. l This includes the dozen colonies thus far established by the Palestine Foundation Fund as part of it's col onization scheme in building up the Valley of the Jezreel
 Both the Jewish National Fund and the Palestine Foundation Fund are financial agencies of the World Zionist Organization, the former be- ing land-purchasing agency, and the latter engaged in the principal constructive enterprises such as agri culture, education, public health and promotion of trade and industry aimed at the rebuilding of the Jew ish Homeland. More than sixty pel cent of the $S,OOO,0OO spent by the Palestine Foundation Fund in the Holy Land was contributed by Am erican Jews.

 In the second half it became quite obvious that the Cathedral team was the stronger and would doubtless win. The technical boys, seeing

 Two days later St. PauPs high school in Anking was playing foot ball against a local government school The head master Of the mis- sion school saw to it before the game that the back gate to the grounds was unlocked as a precaution against trouble. St. Paul's won, and the minute the game was over the win hing team made a hasty exit thru the gate and hurriedly found refuge in the mission compound, closely pursued by the losers and their sup porters.

TOKlO-YOkAHAM CANAL
 PLAN REVIVED BY JAPAN

TOXIC, June 30. (P)-The plan for a deep waterway canal between To- kio and Yokohama is to be revived, according to the Japan Advertiser, which states that the authorities of the Department of Home Affairs are drafting bill for presentation to the Diet at it's next session for the ap- propriation of 2O,0OO,0O0 yen to be used in completing the project It is expected the work will require about four years.
 The plan for the canal was advo, cated several years ago because Of the constantly expanding traffic be- tween the port and the capital and because the transportation by water as it exists has been regarded as particularly inadequate of late years. Approximately 80 per cent or the merchandise landed at Yokohama from foreign and other Japanese ports must be transhipped for To. kio, and about the same percentage of the cargo consigned to Tokio by train has to be forwarded to Yoko- hama. Of all the freight thus ex- changed, only 10 per cent can be transported by train.
 For the purpose of transporting the remainder by water, sailboats and lighters have been operated be- tween the two points, but the con stant delays and damage frequent. ly suffered in following the present crowded water routes render the traffic unsatisfactory to the shipper, it is said. In addition, the freight rates are out of the proportion to the distance and the costs of the commodities thus exchanged have been advanced accordingly, it is claimed.
