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-
.___...__..__._._l...
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. David Lloyd

(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.
