Many New Zealanders will bo greatly interested to hear that the erection of a memorial to those who fell in Palestine during the late war will be begun shortly on Mount Scopus, outside Jerusalem. The increased cost of everything has made it necessary to raise the fund to .£20,000, and Lord Allenby is appealing to those who served under him, to the relatives of the dead, and to the public generally, to assist. It is to be hoped that some funds may be sent from New Zealand, for there are many brave men 'from this country whose remains lie under the shifting sands of Palestine, and who suffered specially from the climate, which made the treatment of wounds so intensely difficult, while detracting from the chances of recovery. There is no doubt that if sums of money were forwarded to the High Commissioner for New Zealand in London, for this purpose, they would bo gladly re- \ ceived, and sent on to Lord Allenby.
