Pile there who are advocating the calling OF

mittee has been formed, with j. X. Cubbi-
son as chairman, to secure pledges from
members of the legislature to serve without
Pay during a short session. Up to noon to-

Greetings to Pittsburg Convention
From World-Famous Jews.

PTTTSBURG, Pa June S.-The consider
alton of the amended constitution of the
Federation of American Zionists occupied
nearly all Of today's first session. Greet
ings from eminent Jews of the world were
received and read at the convention. This
telegram from Vienna was sent by Dr.
Herzl:
ITO the Zionist Convention, Pittsburg:
THE situation of our Russian brothers
is very serious and calls for our most earn
est attention A great emigration move
ment from Russia is to be expected. we
shall bring to the Basic congress pro-
gram which, we believe, will help our peo-
pie. With lions greetings, HERZL.
From Barritz came these words or Dr.
Max Nordau:
Il trust you will continue to develop into
a power to the honor Of American jews
and to the benefit of the Jewish people,
whose position in the world is more APP
palling than it has been at any moment IN
the last century The name of Kishineff,
written with letters of blood and fire IN
the old and ever new martyrology OF Israel,
is sufficient by itself to bear out this state
ment. 1t shows that for our people there
is such thing as progress. For US MS
tory has not moved onward by one step
for the last 500 years. We are still In the
fearful period of the crusades. when the
pious warriors of the cross trained them
selves to their heroic work by the whole
sale slaughter of Jews and the lOoting of
defenseless ghettoes. 1t shows also that
Zionism is the only way to lead our miser-
able brethren in Russia and elsewhere out
of their present hell. 1 would despair of
Judaism, and of humanity as well, if the
free and happy Jews Of America were to
turn a deaf ear to the blood-curdling tale
of Kishineff."
Israel Zangwill sent the following mes
sage:
Greetings to the Pittsburg convention.
The kishineff massacre has brought home
to the blindest the need of a publicly and
legally safeguarded home for our unhappy
race. When you come to consider where
this centralized home should be you will
find no place as practicable as Palestine, or,
at least for a start, its neighborhood. May
the strenuous town of fire and steel in
which you meet inspire you to build great
bridge over which Israel shall pass to his
ancient home and his glorious future"

question of the award of contracts for the
construction of the 16,0OO-ton battle ships
Kansas. Minnesota and Vermont. Congress
appropriated SI,212,0O0 to build each of

has recommended that the bids made by

River Shfpbuilding Company, each for one
ship, be accepted. The lowest one of these
bids. that of the Newport News Company,
is only S102, 600 less than the limit Of cost
and the question has arisen whether the
vessels can be properly equipped with the
small margin left for that purpose.
