SChiff DenOunCeS Dispute
Over Technicum Class
room Language.
CHOICE IS BETWEEN
HEBREW AND GERMAN
Zionist Leader Denies Charges
and Says Struggle Is One
of Racial Import.

Jacob II. Schiff's criticism OF meth
DDS prevailing in the management Of
the Techncum. a technical school in
Palestine, established through the
financial support Of American Jews,
has aroused some of the leaders among
American Zionists. A dispute which
endangors the existence Of the Technl-
cum has arisen among the directors
largely over the question whether Ger
man or Hebrew shall constitute the
language TO be used as a medium Of
instruction. 1t has been reported that
the American directors of the school
have resigned.
MIR. Schiff lays the blame on group
Of Zonsts in Palestine. In a recent
letter to "The American Hebrew" Mr..
Schiff wrote:
"While | earnestly hope that ways
and means may be found to resurrect
the Technicum, so that it may yet be
come dedicated TO the great purpose it
was intended for, the deplorablc occur
rcnces that have in the end led to its
present breakdown have clearly shown
that Palestinian affairs are swayed by
what | believe to be a comparatively
small group Of Jewish Nationalists,
who. while continually clamoring for
the support and cooperation of inter
national Jcwry for Palestinian work Of
every character, Will not hesitate to
stoop to employ the most reprehen-
sible means in order to accomplish,
forcibly. if needed, their own purposes
and designs"

Takes Issue with Mr.. Schiff.

In the current issue of the same or
gan Louis Lipsky. chairman OF the eX-
ecutive committee of the Federation OF
American Zionists, replied 20 Mr..
Schif. accusing him of engaging in
deliberate attempt to discredlt the
Zionist organization"
80 far as Palestine was concerned
writes Mr. Lipsky, "the Technicum in
cidcnt was merely the climax OF a
struggle that has been going on IN
that country for a generation. 1t was
the struggle for home rule, for the
right Of an awakened Jewry to inter-
prct its own life in its own terms.

AERO BOMBS
VIOLATED HAGUE PACT
Belgian Minister Files Formal Protest
Against Zeppelin Attack of Which
Inhabitants Were Unwarned.

A formal protest against the action OF
the German Zeppelin airship in dropping
explosive bombs into the city OF Ant.
werp was made to the State Department
yesterday by Mr.. E. Havenith, the Bel
gian Minister to the United States. The
protest was submitted in accordance with
telegraphic instructions from the Belgian
minister Of foreign affairs, and charges
that the dropping of the bombs from the
airship constitute violation of The
Hague rules of war.
upon which the Belgian protest is based,
is as follows:
The commander Of an attacking force,
before commencing a bombardment, ex-
cept in the case Of an assault, should de
all he can TO warn the authorities"
There is another provision of The Hague
rules Of war relating to the dropping of
bombs and explosives from airships which
is as follows:
THE contracting powers agree to pro-
hibIt for a period extending to the close
of the Third Peace Conference the dis
charge Of projectiles and explosives from
balloons or by other new methods Of a
similar nature"
Germany declined to sign this declara-
ton although Belgium did subscribe to
its provisions. Consequently the mere
dropping OF the bombs from the Zeppelin
does not constitute an infraction OF The
Hague rules as the declaration is not
binding upon the German government.
Whether the German government failed
to give notice of its intention to use its
airships in the present campaign in Bel
gium is not known here.
The protest calls for no action by the
United States and is intended to place
on record with the neutral powers the
alleged violation Of the German army.
Belgium is making similar protests to
the other countries signatory to The
Hague conventions which are not in
volved in the present conflict
