DR. STEPHEN WISE IN LONDON.
Opens Campaign in Favor of a Liberal
Synagogue.

London, Feb 25-Dr Stephen s. Wise
rabbi OF the Free Synagogue of New York
made the first of series of addresses, uY-
der the auspices of the Jewish Religious
Union, here this afternoon. These ad-
dresses are expected to bring to a head
the controversy between the liberal and
orthodox sections of the Anglo-Jewish
Union, founded by c. G. Monteiore, the
Hon. l.. 8. Montagu and other Well known
members of the Jewish community, who
recently decided to establish synagogue
a decision which called forth protests from
the orthodox Jews led by the chief rabbi.
the Very Rev Hermann Adler, who feared
a schism.
Mr.. MontefiOre and his associates said
that they had a right to develop liberal
synagogue in order to satisfy the religious
needs of the younger people. who. they
held, were becoming estransed from the re-
lision of their fathers
DR.. Wise's addresses on ethical. religious
and social problems are awaited as an in
depreciation of the aims and objects OF the
union.

We hear no more of the Zelayan COM

ground. Mr.. Zelaya, conscious of evil
doing and realizing that his doom was

clamoring against America for "oppress-

this country's policy, but the Near
