OTHERS WANT HOLY LAND

BALTIMORE. Jan. 21.-The recent Of
fer of the English government to grant
over 200 square miles OF land in East
Africa as home for the Zionist move
ment. instead Of Palestine, so long
looked forward 90 by the abettors Of the
movement. is arousing comment in He
brew circles. and the division of opinion
IS keenly drawn.
Sentiment and tradition of the Holy
Land. to which the Jews were promised
that they should return. is. with the
general effect Of the Zionist movement
influencing many to disregard Englands
offer. and suspicion that the offer is
actuated by selfish motives, and that
England would not vouchsafe protec-
ton Is causing others to hesitate. A
large division. however. is Of opinion
that the offer is a most advantageous
one. and is urging its acceptance.
Rabbi Favors Scheme.

Not Selfish Motive.
There Is no question but that Eng

On tho east side Of the island most
everybody fishes With tight line. and
they have them anywhere from flftS 70

six hooks on them,
I will tell you about an old colored

tight lines, and had them tiled to old
