JERUSALEM^ NEW GOVERNOR
"The new appointment at Jerusalem is a singularly happy one" (writes a corres^ pondent of the Daily News and Leader, who met Colonel Ronald Storrs on a number of occasions in Egypt, during theanxious weeks preceding the. Turkish attack on the Suei'Caaal). "Since his appbintuient to theiOriental Secretaryship at the British Agency.in Cairo nin6 years ago, Colonel Storrs has played the part of a wonderfully tactful and" well-inform-ed 4 peacemaker. Ho is a brilliant linguist, .and is reputed to be better able to find his way through the labyrinth of Cai' raw ■ native 'politics' than any other man.' He has madiS it his business to gain an intimate. personal knowledge of the habits and customs of the multitude of sects aiid races'that go to make up a population such as that of Jerusalem. It is certain that Egypt, as well a.s AngloEgypt, will congratulate him; arid there could be no higher compliment. Colonel Storrs is a son of the Dean of Rochester, and 36 years of age."
