History Of Jewish pilgrims"

Mr.. Brandeis outlined the history of
the Jewish Pilgrim fathers in their ef-
forts to convert the dream of Zion into
a reality. which resulted, at the end of
twenty-five years. in the establishment
of the two great propositions upon
which practical Zionism rests, the
speaker said: I1 That Palestine is fit
for the modern Jew, and (2) that the
modern Jew is At for Palestine.
What led them to Palestine" the
felt that the longing that had animated
the Jews during the many centuries OF
exile was a longing of deep signifi-
canoe which represented the struggle
for life of an ancient and gifted people
the struggle of a people who could
again do for the world things as great
and glorious as they had done in the
past when they gave to the world its
great religions. and largely its system
of morals.
They felt that. particularly at this
time, the Jews might make a contribu-
ton greater than ever before, because
the world, or at least America. had
set for its aim democracy and social
tustice-ideals for which the Jew had
been striving, under the name of
brotherhood and Righteousness, for $500

Louis D. Brandeis Lectures on
"PaIestine and the Jew
ish Democracy"
MOVEMENT BACKS IDEAL
DEAR TO HEBREW RACE
Compares the Spirit of Its Pioneers
to That Of Americas "Pil-
grim Fathers"

What Zionism is and what it is not
was explained by Louis D. Brandeis of
Boston. chairman of the provisional ex-
ecutive committee for Zionistic affairs,
in the course Of a lecture on Palestine
and the Jewish Democracy" delivered
last night at Memorial Continental Hall
before a very large audience. The au-
ditorium was filled with one. of the
most representative gatherings of
Hebrews, both orthodox and reformed,
that Washington probably has ever
seen.
julius I. Peyser presided. Commits
sioner Louis Brownlow introduced the
speaker of the evening. saying that Mr..
! Brandeis 'is not only one Of the great
est Jewish leaders, but one of the
greatest leaders. Jewish or Gentle, in
the United States"
Comparing the spirit of those who
established a generation ago in Pales-
tine those settlements called colonies.
through which Zionism Is becoming a
reality" to the great spirit which ami
mated the Pilgram fathers, to whom
1--WE owe in large part the common
wealth of Massachusetts, and that which
we prize most in American life" Mr..
Brandeis succinctly defined Zionism.
Object of the Movement.
First" he said, ut is not a move
ment to transport all the Jews in the
world to Palestine. That, indeed, would
be impossible, for Palestine is only
about the size of Massachusetts,. There
are 100000 Jews in the world. and
Palestine could not accommodate more
than one-fifth of the number.
Second, 1t Is not a movement to
compulsorily transport a single Jew
to Palestine For Zionism is pre-emi-
nently movement of freedom, to give
the Jews more liberty. not less. the
liberty which practically every other
people in the world enjoys-the lib
erty to live in the land of their birth
or adoption or to go to the land of
their fathers.
Third, neither is 1t movement to
wrest the sovereignty of Palestine
from the Turkish government. Zion
ism is movement to give the Jews a
home in the land Of their fathers.
where the Jewish life may be lived
normally and naturally, and where the
Jews may in time hope to constitute a
majority of the population. and look
forward to what we have come to call
home rule"

CHICAGO WAR BABIES. - We
read plenty of newspaper comment
about the war babies and how the ul-
ira good in the war-stTicken cOun-
tries are trying to ease their Puri-
tanical consciences so as to recognize
as human beings the children of sol
diers born out of wedlOck.
Did it ever occur to YOU that most
of the babies of Chicago, though born
in lawful wedlOck, are war babies
just the same?
There is an industrial war going on
in this country? The working class
is desperately striving for living
wage that will enable parents to
bring children into the world and give
their minds and bodies the training
necessary to raise the standard of
American citizenship.
And it is a fact that in thousands
upon thousands of homes babies born
in wedlock and legally legitimate in
every sense of the word, have less
chance to get fresh air, wholesome
food, sanitary housing and fair ed
uCation than the sO-caIled iIlegitimate
babies born out of wedlock and cared
for in state institutions at public ex-
pense.
We see to it that orphans have a
comfortable home, but we don't see
to it that fathers Of legitimate chill

give mothers proper care during the

see to it that fathers get wage that

SCOUTS LIKE BARNEY.
Former Hartford Player Wanted For
 Big Show.

Jersey City, July 17.-There was regular carnival of scouts over in the skeeter Park. yesterday when four representatives of Organized and fn- dependent baseball decided to look over Barney, the clever young out fielder of the Skeeters and regarded as young find by able critics.
 President Joe Lanin of the Red Sox, Scout Moose Mitchell of the Braves, Business Manager Carroll of the Brookfeds and a scout of the Detroit club were on the scene. The entire quartet knew the business that brought each there, and all en- gagged in pleasant chat.
 Carroll thinks highly of the player and is willing to deal directly with Barney, giving him the purchase money. On the other hand, Barney will have chance to get in a worlds series if he joins the other clubs and if he goes to the Braves he may play regularly. The Brookfeds, however, are most likely to land the clever lad.

The purchase of Murphy gives the Sox player sought by Manager Row. land for more than a month.

EvERs NOT GUILTY.
Tener Finds That Johnny Didn't Mean
 What He Said.

Boston, July 17.--Attempts to make a mountain of a molehill in connec- stion with Capt Evers' field chatter during the games between the Braves and the Cardinals here on Monday have amounted to nothing. Evers during the contests let go a consider able volume of acidulated remarks in the direction of Umpire Rigler, saying that things had been fixed to make the race close, thereby increas- ing attendance. There were quite a few remarks along this line, but nei- ther umpire paid any attention to them. 1 When story was put out that Evers had charged that the race had been { fixed it attracted the attention of Sec ! retary Heydler and President Tener of the National League, and as they had planned to pass through here to- I day on an automobile trip to Sails ' bury Beach MT. Tener decided to in- quire about the story and did so this afternoon. The result was that he ! is satisfied perfectly Johnny did not mean himself to be taken seriously : in the matter.
 President Tener said last night:
 My attention was attracted to a statement alleged to have been made i by Capt. Evers during the contests between Boston and St. Louis here on l Monday that the game had been fixed, and on account of the great publicity which this statement received I de- I cided to make inquiries on my visit here today. Neither Umpire Rig1er | nor Hart reported to me that Evers had said they had been instructed to give St. Louis the benefit of close decisions in order to make the race close. There were no charges made against Evers to me.
 Capt. Evers says many things on
 the ball field in the heat of the con
 test that he does not mean and that
 he should not say, but he never has
 done anything to bring discredit upon
 the game. All his life he has been q great credit to the sport.
 Baseball is so firmly established
 that no one except some person
 wholly ignorant or with a corrupt mind would credit any such statement as Evers was alleged to have made 1 Evers denied having meant any such thing as was attributed to him in the published articles"
