The first Constituent Assembly in the Holy Land m et in Jerusalem recently. F o u r hund red delegates were chosen a t elections participated in by all the Jew ish resid en ts of Palestine. The Jews decided th a t only Hebrew-speak­ ing Jews were eligible as delegates or officers a t th is assembly. Thus the sacred tongue makes ever new ad­ vances. The “W ailing P lace” is no longer "th e wall of te a rs,” as Dr. Lewis Gas­ ton Leary once called it in “The Real P alestin e of To-Day.” W ith th e deliv­ erance of th e land from th e Turks and th e Zionistic dream s coming tru e, th ere is no inclination among Jeru salem Jews to lam en t th e an cien t downfall and departed glory. Modern business is better. Mr. S. Salzman, publisher of the “Rozviet” and “K adim ah,” recently arrived in Jerusalem , w ith th e object of establishing a large p rin ting p lan t th ere.

P h i­ losophy had failed to satisfy him or to b ring his passions under control. H u­ man n atu re is as in tractab le as th e wild ass s colt. Job H r 12.
