Smiling and apparently in the best
OF humor. the colonel arrived in the

zIONISM MISCONSTRUED

There is perhaps no national
movement of modern times more
misunderstood or, to put it more
aptly, less understood, than the
Zionist movement. 1t is distinct
service, therefore, which Mr.. Louis
Brandeis, the foremost American
leader in Zionism, does in issuing q
statement correcting some Of the
misconceptions which have crept
into the public mind. Mr.. Brandeis
says:
1t is not q movement to remove aI
the Jews Of the world compulsorily &c
Palestine. In the first place there are
100000 Jews. and Palestine would moi
accommodate more than one-ffth OF
that number. In the second place It II
not a movement to compel any ono tc
60 to Palestine. It Is essentially a
movement to give to the Jew moro
not less. freedom; 1t aims to enable
the Jews to exercise the same right nov
exercised by practically every other
people in tho world: to live at theil
option either In the land of their
fathers or In some other country.
Zionism Is an American idea, It Il
based upon American principles; II
is, therefore, worthy Of American
admiration and support

HEBREWS TO REQUEST
PALESTINE, He SAYS
Maurice Freilicoff Declares
Campaign for Peace Already
Has Been Launched.

That Palestine be given to the He

be made when terms of European peace
are discussed. according TO a prediction
of Maurice Freilicofr. A campaign to-
ward this end. he declares. already has
been launched
Mr.. Freilicofr presided last night at a
meeting of the Hebrew societies Of
Washington held in Fythian Temple.

On the committees are Julius Peyser
chairman. Judge Milton Strasburger,
Dr. p. Rosenson. II. l. Corral. M. Zett-
land. Joseph Teppin, David Alpher, B..
Danzansky. and n. Tash. The resolu-
tions will ask that a member Of the
Jewish race be included in the peace
commission at the close Of the present
war.
Mr.. Freilicoff urged that the Hebrew
ptonle of the world at t.is time take
aivantage of the struggle abroad 70
Detter the conditions of members OF
their own race, and announced that an
other conference similar to last night
gathering will be held in the near fu-

HELPING THE BABIES

Surprising enough, that last year,
when 1,730 children were born In
Washington, 715 under one year old
should have died. Surprising espe-
cially when Washington had been
priding itself upon it's advanced
projects for child welfare and its
various institutions for baby saving.
More surprising still is the fact
that only a small percentage of
these deaths lay among those
who might be termed poor. Most
Of them were in the families
Of limited means, persons supposed
to have the intelligence To lay hold
upon any community aid in rearing
newborn children.
Now Washington is not lacking In
means for caring for babies. 1t is
unusually we'll provided with them
Diet kitchens, visiting nurses, hos
pitfalls, baby camps, and day nurseries
swell the number Of institutions for
the children. The trouble Is that
only the very poor seem willing to
take advantage Of these opportuni-
ties. Just why this feeling prevails
is rot quite clear. No one feels any
hesitancy about making use Of hos,
pitfalls in an emergency. Many OF
these are privately maintained just
as the baby saving institutions are
The diet kitchens and clinics and
dispensaries are not dispensers OF
charity. At the diet Kitchens. fol-

LITTLR CHANCE FOR WAR, BUT
BERLIN ApDT NOT 90 ON


lin foreign Office does not know as
well as Minister Won Jagow knows
his A B C's that it is the indis-
Iputable right Of this nation, so long
as It Is at peace, to have its citizens
travel in any merchant vessel that
sails the high seas.
This Is no less true Of the mer-
chant vessel flying the flag Of bel
ligerent power than Of the merchant
vessel flying the flag Of a neutral
power. It is just as true Of the
merchant vessel loaded with contra
band as Of the merchant vessel
carrying a cargo wholly innocent"
There is no chance that the Berlin
foreign Office can be ignorant Of the
fact, three times formally stated to
the German government by the
American government, that this is
the whole contention Of President
Wilson in his demand that our peo-
pie, in the pursuit Of their proper
business and in the exercise Of their
lawful rights, shall not be murdered
|by German submarines or other
military agencies.
And there is no chance that the
Berlin foreign Office Is not aware
that 1t seeks to set up a false issue
when it declares that American
lives should not be used as q
""screen" for enemy ships.
There is no question, there never
can be, of the right of Won Tirpitz
warships, submarines, or any other
kind to capture enemy vessels
whether they do or do not carry
contrabsnd, whether American neu.
trails are or are not on board.
A German submarine may capture
a Lusitania as a prize just as freely
when Americans are on board as
when they are not, and Minister vor
Jagow knows that 1t may. A Ger
man submarine may, If it is neces
sary, destroy its prize though every
soul on the passenger lists were ar
American, and Minister Won Jagov
knows that it may.
But a German submarine cannot
without violating all laws of civil
zation and challenging the United
States to war, willfully and wantonl,
murder American citizens in Lusi
tania, as every man, woman, ant
child that died in the Lusitania wa
willfully and wantonly murdered
when she was attacked withou
warning to her officers and de
stroyed without mercy to any human
life on board.
This is the supreme issue which il
his long, evasive, dishonest not,
Minister Won Jagow did not touch
did not recognize.
If Germany's present acts make
not for war but for peace, if Vol
Jagow's honeyed words, even whil
evading the issue, give very strong
confirmation that Germany viii
avoid every possible deed that coul'
call for a settlement at arms, tn
Berlin foreign Office cannot, with tn
consent and approval Of the Ameri
can people, be encouraged by tn
Washington Administration to tn
prolongation Of such stuff as it ha
