I.()ND()N, Dec. 27.-The de-
parture of the Indian army from France for “another field of action” \vas the most important feature of thc day’s news as far as the British public were concerned. Whether the new Iield of action is Egypt or Mesopotamia was not announced. In both these theatres there are presumably already considerable bodies of Iiidiati troops. It is assumed that the places of the Indians in France have been Filled with drafts from the new armies raised on the soil of the United Kingdom. In connection with to- night‘s announcement it is worth noting thc larger and more import- ant share the youthful Prince of Wales is taking in the business of the Empire. The British public both home and colonial will read with a peculiar sense of national pride the King’s words to the Indian veterans. “Before you leave F raiicc, I send my dear and gallant son, the Priiicc of Wales, who has shared with my armies the dangers and hardships of the campaign, to thank you iii my name.”
A 'I`urkish official coiiimunica-

claims to successes in the Egyptian theatre, called forth an official denial from the British Press Bur- eau, which states there had been rio lighting between thc Britisli and Arabs, except a British attack on the principal Arab force, near Moisa hlaturu, which " was dis- persed with trifling loss to our troops,” according to the British version. The Turkish version says thc Turks took the offensive and killed 300 British, put the remain- der to Right and captured a quan- tity of booty.
News from other war fronts con-
tinues to show no important de- velopnicnts.
The Russians are winning suc-
cesses against tlic weaker hostile forces iii Persia. The British in south Persia had some severe fight- ing with Turks without materially altering the situation. The Allies at Saloniki contemplate their nearly nearly completed fortifications with the utmost satisfaction.
On the west front tlicre is little
to record, except minor artillery hombarding operations.

Although to-day was a holiday
in England, members of the British Cabinet returned from the scenes of their Christmas festivities for an important meeting, at which were discussed the Derby scheme and other matters which must be thrcshcd out when Parliament re- convcnes.
The Parliamentary situation con-
tinues full of uneasy lrumotirs, and some changes in the Cabinet are being widely talked of. There is n possibility that Sir Edward Grey’s health may compel him to leave the Cabinet, although he attciidedto- day’s meeting. The sudden return of Winston Spencer Churchill to England is likewise the basis of many rumours.

Brought Sobbing Men and Women to Ptattorm with Contributions Aggregatlng $750,000 in Less than 30 Minutes. A Story that will
inspire 0Ihers.
(b`/vccial to 1/le Utiiirdiait.) NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-One
of the most intensely dramatic sceies ever enacted in New York occurred at a meeting of the Amer- ican _Icwisli relief committee at Carnegie 'Hall on Christmas Eve. \\/ithin the short space of lialf-aii- hour the sum of $715,000 was col- lected to allevi.-.te thc suifcriiig of \\'ai'-stricken jews. Hysterical women and weeping mcn, after con- tributing tI'.cir last cent, threw their jewellery on the stage. Four anonymous donations of $100,000 each were announced from among
the audience. Two' others of
$50,000 were announced and scores of lesser donations poured in. I"ou:
huge piles of envelopes filled with clicqiics and bills occupied the fron: of thc stage. There wcre_two iargc wicker baskets filled to the top with rings, watchep, fobs and other jewellery.
The exact amount of money re-
ceived in clicqiics and currency will.
.
not be know until to-day. The stint of $715,000 was reached at mid- night.
'l`Iicrc were 3,500 persons iii thc
hall. Another 3,ooo_clamourcd for admission on the outside. It was said that fully 10,000 hadiappliel for tickets by telephone and through the mails, only to be dis- appointed.
Dr Magncs, who was thc prin-
cipal spcaker, dreiv a. vivid picture of thc siiticring among the jews iii thc war theatres of Europe \-Vitli rtmarkablc feeling and sym- pathy Iie transported his audience to another land--until every per- soii actually visualized the terrible spectre which follows in the wake of the war god.
Women began to sob. lVIc_i
stood up and cried out in anguish. For :i iiinc the noise' of ivccpiiig
was so loud that the voice Of l.I’\C speaker was drowned.
Before the ushers could pass up
the aisles with baskets, men, women and children surged toward the stage. Some dropped on their knees facing the huge rostrum. Richly clad women knelt shoulder to shoulder with push-cart peddlers. Caste and distinction was forgotten. The stoutcst hearts were moved. Men fought to reach the stage so that they could enmpty their poc- kets. Yellow-backed currency, silver and copper money covered the stage within a few _minutes to the depth of three inches.
A woman staggered towards the
stage. Her hair had fallen over her shoulders and tears were cours- ing down her cheeks. She wore a. F iftli Avenue modiste’s gown and expensive furs. But she was prac- tically unnoticed in the dramatic scene which was being enacted. Pushing aside women who were on their knees, she tore a diamond lavallierc from her neck and passed it to Dr Magnes. Other women threw their furs on the stage. Still others tore their rings from their fingers and their jewels from their cars. One man pushed his way through the mob and passed up a coin to one of thc men on the stage. Dr Magncs later announced that this
' man had given him ten cents. This,
lic said, represented his car fare- all the money hc had. _
Still another man-dirty and be-
,dragglcd-passed up what was _later said to be a five rublc.note.
'llc had just come from a province of Koviio. Five weeks agohe witnessed indescribable massacres among the jews. The printing on thc tive rouble note hc passed tip was almost obliterated with blood.
lilo escaped from the massacre.
