The explosion was traced by a coudt OF

a standard OF duty as that evidenced by
O'Donnen in the performance Of this
work. the standard of efficiency and re-

CRITICS OF zIONISM
ATTACKED BY SPEAKER
Dr.. Glushak Says Real Meaning Of
Movement Has Been Miscon-
strued by Opponents.

Critics Of Zionism have no right to
speak for a people scattered all over the
world, and have misconstrued the real
meaning of Zionism, DIR. Leopold
Glushak said last night at a meeting OF
the Ahavas Zionist Society at 1223 Sixth
street northwest, at which he answered
a recent attack OF DR.. Abram Simon,
pastor of the Eighth Street Temple. on
the Zionist movement.
DR.. Glushak defended strongly the
movement to create in Palestine a nation
OF Jews.
I'VE have not lost our national iden-
tity," said DR.. Glushak. I'VE want not
to lose ourselves among the people of
the world, but to form in Palestine a
link with our glorious past. Their Is no
such thing. as was charged by DR.. Simon,
as q 'Zionist-American-Jew a double
hyphenated citizen.
The Jews in America are patriotic
Americans and the Jews in other coun-
tries have proved their patriotism in the
European war. That Jews can be loyal
to their countries and still be for the
Zionist movement is shown by the thou
sands who, though they are fighting each
other in the trenches. still are sending
money Nor the cause.
We do not want a monarchy or a
state in Zion. We want to be friendly
with the Turk-but we want some place
tural independence.
In Palestine We are promoting the
doctrines Of peace. democracy and the
fundamental principles of Americanism.
1t is an inherent tendency Of a people
all over the globe to come together and
form a national polity."
D. Alpher presided at the meeting.

SaysU. S. Should Wait Until

Representative Saunders, of Virginia
chairman OF the Democratic caucus OF
the House, will oppose President VII.
sons program of national defense.
IT am opposed to extraordinary appro-
priations for defense for the reason that
in my opinion. It would be well to defer
any departure in this regard until the
conclusion of the war in Europe" said
Mr. Saunders.
Lord Roseberry recently made q state
ment, in which he deprecated the agita.
ton for increased armament In the
United States. He suggested that II the
United States went in for defense on q
large scale that II would force all other
countries TO do so. II we are obliged tc
increase our appropriations for defense
We should wait until we have had an
opportunity to study the lessons taught
by the war"
Mr.. Saunders said he would shortly
issue a call for the meeting OF the Dem
ocratic caucus to be held on December l.
The caucus will meet primarily to Ill
House committee assignments. Questions
bearing on national defense. the revenues
