The "fantastic story of the British adventure in Palestine" is told in a book now ready with Heinemann. It is by Mr. C. R. Ashbee, who went to Palestine first to report on the arts and crafts, later to take charge of the City of Jerusatem, land act, as its civic adviser. During the four and half years that he held his position he was in touch with all the leading men who have had to do with recent events in! Palestine. But, perhaps, the main interest of the narrative lies in the picture it gives of a time of turbulent change, when Jew, Arab, Greek, and Syrian' were tossed about.
