He was the eldest of eight chill

father, Robert Mccormick. had
devoted much time and thought to
the matter ard bad partially sue

eral obstacles were in the way
which be could not overcome. The
father is said to have expressed
his pride and pleasure that his son

Jacob n. Schiff and Israel Zangwill fa-
vor Acceptance of Offer by
Turkey.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Jacob H.
Schiff, banker, and Israel Zangwill, au-
thor and head of the Jewish territor-
ialist organization, have come together
in an effort to colonize in Mesopotamia
as a compromise of the Zionist colon
ization plans in Palestine, according to
news received by Jacob Fisnman, editor
of The Jewish Daily News of this city.
The invitation of Ahmed Ria Bey
president of the Turkish Chamber of
deputies under the new Young Turks
government, to create Jewish state at
Mesopotamia was taken under consid-
Grafton.
The lea Society, the largest and rich
est Jewish colonization organization in
the world, to which $45,0OO,000 was left
in trust by the late Baron De Hirsch,
sent geographical lsurvey commission
to investigate conditions. The prelim-
mary reports showed that the land is
most fertile and irrigation is all that is
needed to make it productive.
The Zionists readily accepted the
scheme, for Mesopotamia is not far
from Palestine
