Zionism has beeh an important factor
In the recent hidden politics OF the
Turkish Empire. Some of the leaders
Of the Committee Of Union and Prog
ress are Jews, and Salonika. the head:

Jews who, several generations ago.
embraced the Moslem faith. although
they are commonly regarded az being
better Jews than Moslems. In most
unexpected places the Zionist cause
has allies, and one trained observer Of
events at Constantinople said to me,
You will never get hold Of the true
lnwardness Of this Turkish situation

Run to it"
Zlonism and Abdul Hamid.
For the present, the Jews have lost.
whatever their influence with the
Young Turk leaders, they have. on the
whole, preferred the regime Of Abdul;
5Hamid. "A member Of the central
Zionist committee. told me lin Berlin
that Zionists would rather have the
old order than the new. His was the
llrst downright defence Of the deposed
monarch / had ever heard. The rea-;
sons given we're, first, that the Turks
have ever been kindlier to the Jews
than have the Christians: and, sec
ondly. that Abdul Hamid permitted
the Jews to settle In Palestine, and to
acquire land. $i
Legally, no Jew Is permitted to live
IN Palestine longer than three months.
Upon entering the country he Is
obliged to surrender his passport, and
receive temporary red passport. As
for acquiring property. that also Is
and long has been interdicted. But
one well-informed Jewish leader at
Jaffa merely shrugged his shoulders
when brought UP this subject. and
said, I'VE have a golden key that can
unlock any door in Turkey. Practical
II, we have found no difference be-
tween the old days and the new. In
either case we have to get what we
want by 'backsheesh.''
Theoretically. there are no Jews In
Turkey; practically, there are more
than hundred thousand in the Prom
Used Land. In the past five years the
number has increased fifty per cent.
When the constitutional party came
into power. with its avowals OF COM
plete religious and racial liberty, the
hearts OF devout Jews and their
friends everywhere leaped with exul-
tation; this meant the advent Of the
long-expected day when the Children
OF Israel should be free once more to
settle in the land Of their fathers.
Zionism's heralded day had dawned.
Now these hopes have once more
been dashed. AS of yore. every Jew
who enters Palestine must do 80 by
bribery and stealth. Those without
passports must buy them; and COM
mon report has 1t that there used to
be a lively traffic in American pass
ports in this country. That has been
almost, If not altogether, broken up by
the vigilance OF the consuls, and the
requirement that every American
citizen securing red passport shall
deposit the original one at the con-
ssulate. Each nation must look after
Its own nationals in Turkey, and, I'M
fortunately, there Is no one nation to

lowance, and so most of them live in
very meager style. The statement has
been repeatedly made to me in the
Holy Land that Zionism has pauper-
lied the Jews. Certainly their ply.
siognomy does not reveal the traits
Of alertness and aggressiveness which
characterize the American Jew. II it
be true, as commonly stated, that ev.
cry Jew here receives his portion"
from abroad, the effect has been mani.
testify deleterious. Able to subsist on
a pittance. the incentive to indepen.
dent labor is removed. with the result
that nowhere in Palestine, outside Of
exclusively Jewish colonies, are the
leading business men Jews. There is
more successful business enterprises
among Hebrews of any one Of hun
bred streets In New York than in all
OF Palestine.
One reason for the bitter complaints
Of the Syrians at the presence Of the
Jews Is that the latter are not depen-
dent upon their labors for liyeli-
hood, and are also able to exist on a
very low scale, and so are. able greatly
to undersell the natives in their little
shops.
Ghettoes In jerusalem.
The crowding of the colonists into
gheNoes outside Of Jerusalem is an in.
teresting example of the force of
habit. There is no need here for over
crowded quarters; each family could
have its own vine and fig tree by ex.
tending the Jewish quarter little
further outside the city. Generations
OF congested living in the ghettoes Of
Europe, together with the necessity
for crowding close together for mutual
protection, are hard to escape. So the
Holy Land today contains a state OF
affairs such as 1t never before wit
messed in its long history.
Nor are the Jewish quarters of the
cities Of Palestine such as would in,
cline one to optimism concerning a
Jewish state. Liberals, for example,
is predominantly Jewish, yet it is one
of the dirtiest and least attractive
towns in all the land. This is not a
racial fact, but rather an illustration
Of the statement that 1t Is the eccles-
iastically earnest, and the aged and
the sorely stricken, who have fled to
the haven of the Promised Land.
In Galilee heard the lament that
the most ambitious Of the young men
are leaving Palestine to go to Amer.
lea, that other Promised Land Of all
the world. The younger generation,
was also told, have not the interest of
their fathers In religion. The most
representative Jew have met here,
from the American standpoint, was
traveller from New York City. At
Jaffa he ran across an old woman who
was having trouble with her transpor-
tation. He took her in hand. with gen.
tie insistence, saw her aboard her
boat, changed her third-class ticket
for a first, and had her put in
cabin alongside his own, in all re-
spects caring for her as tenderly as
wealthy son could do. Yet she was
of different land, race and religion
from himself. I prefer to regard him
as typical Of the future of his race,
rather than the ill-fed, strangely-clad
zealots whom one may see any Friday

The preference of many women
writer's for male pseudonym is
doubtless survival of the old suner-
stition that to engage in the task OF
authorship was "unwomanly." The

pearing as Currer, Acton and Ellis
Bell respectively. Their example was
followed by George Eliot. But George
