Leaders Claim Much Progress
Has Been Made In Movement
to Restore Jerusalem
As On Nation
FOURTEENTH ANNUAL CONGRESS
Dissatisfied Element Expected to Rolly
to Standard After the Reports
For the Current Year are
Made Public.

Basle. Switzerland. Aug. S.-The
WORLDS Convention of Zionists is to
begin It's sessions here tomorrow
About 400 delegates have arrived and
several hundred more are expected
Both the United states and Canada will
be well represented.
This is the fourteenth annual con-
gress To be held by the International
Federation of Zionists. The gather
irgs have always attracted leading men
of the Hebrew faith. and its somewhat
sentimental and romantic propaganda
the restoration of Jerusalem 10 the
sons of Abraham-but really, at bot
tom, stern business and phiIanthrop-
ic proposition, has created world wide
speculation as to the ultimate fate OF
the scheme.
Zionism," as the movement is called
by which, its promoters declare the
Jewish problem is to be solved-that
is,, the future OF the oppressed Jew Of
Russia and elsewhere is to be proyid-
ed for-has met with opposition from
prominent men of the Jewish clergy
and laity.
The present congress promises to be
cnlivened by the criticism of some of
those who have been active workers
for the cause. but who now are said
to be dissatisfied with the way the
movement has been directed by the
older leaders. Some of the delegates
do not hesitate tssdeclare that unless
radical changes are made the .e,yhoIe
movement is likely to prove nothing
more than dream. as it's opponents
have always predicted.
IL Is pointed out by those who be-
lieve that "a thorough reorganization
Is, needed that although the Zionists
through their international and nation
al organizations have been laboring as
siduously for many years TO rehabilI-
tate the Hebrews again into a nation.
and there have been numerous con-
crosses to this end, until now nothing
really definite has been accomplished.
on the other hand. the leaders who
have directed the affairs of the orga-
oization since the death of Theodore
fierzl, the founder of the movement.
ieclare that much has been accom-
'lished within the past few years and
hey hint that. I'm view OF the reports |
o be made To the present congress, the
dissatisfied element will rally TO the
standard creating solidarity so pow
'rful I'm numbers and wealth that sue
ess will be assured.

TO MEND GOWN
OF MISS LIBERTY
RIPS IN HER DRESS WILL BE
SEWED UP BY WAR DEPART
MENT NEXT WIN
TER.

New York. Aug. S.-Miss Liberty
who supervises New York harbor, 4,
going to have the rips I'm her dres,
''sewed' up II the War Department
can induce Congress to make an ap.
preparation next winter to pay for tn,
work.
Miss Liberty's gown Is battered and
| frayed and let's in new light through
chinks which time has made, The
quartermaster, Lieut. Jones. stationed
at Fort Wood. promptly notified the
Department at Washington, and now
| comes the cheering news that the War
Department is TO have a special ex-
| animation made to determine the ex-
tent Of the damage.
The perforations are still very small.
the largest not much larger than a
penny but in thin spots on the plates
of the gown the bronze Is nearly worn
through. The War Department will
determine what repairs are needed,
and will then ask congress for an ap-
preparation.
The method OF repair will probably
be to remove those plates in which
there are most perforations Of those
that have been worn thinnest by the
clements
These can be used as patterns for
new plates, because every plate. on its
interior, corresponds exactly to the
exterior. What Is convex on the out
side Is concave on the interior. and
vice versa.
There are about 800 sections i'm the
statue, but they are so cleverly joined
that ii is impossible from the interior
to detect the Jennings.
There are only about 100 holes or so
I'm the statue. These are scattered all
the way up and down. but are prin-
cipally in plates that are obllque or
approaching the horizontal. so that
part OF Miss Liberty's jaw and cheek
will have to be removed and made
good, and part OF her shoulder, and
also part OF her skirt.
II Is possible that the upstretched
arm also is beginning TO wear through
but IL is not visible from the outside
and visitors are not admitted inside.
AS there Is no prospect of the dress
falling to pieces. and as the statue
is said to be good for at least 10e
years as it stands. IL probably will be
a year or two before the War Depart
ment begins the work of patching the
gorgeous lady's frock.
