are the only nation without a land to
call their own, and Palestine the only
country without people really her

David and Solomon Palestine in its re-

Movement in Washington.

Washington is not far behind the
other cities in taking up this progress
sive movement As early as 1897 about
fifty Of WashingtOn's most prominent
Jews met in Oppenheimer's Hail. on
Ninth street. and planned to create a
society for the promotion of this most
interesting ca;se. The B'nai Zion AS
ISOLATION was formally started January,
lSS, with seventy-fve members enroll
ed, and has gradually increased and
spread in its influence until now, under
the leadership OF President j. ROsen-
field. the organization has attained about
200 members in good standing It's OBJ
ject is to arouse interest among the
loyal Jews in Washington. to buy lands
in Palestine and establish there Jewish
colonies.
So great an interest was taken not
only by The older people, but by the
younger set also, that il was deemed
necessary to split zionIsm in Washing
ton. The clamor for admission 10 the
B'nai Zion Association that was set up
by the younger folks eventually started
the ball 10 rolling, and pursuant to
call By the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Adath Israel congregation. on Deem
Ter 4. 1900, a number Of young men and
women met at that synagogue Tor the
purpose of forming a branch organiza-
tion TO B'nai Zion Association. II was
decided TO call Jnis newly formed club
the Young Peoples Union. A conJti-
tuition was formally adopted and officers
were elected. The first president was
