the development OF commerce anu
industry, and in spite of the ostra-
cism that often Expresses them,
their place in literature, in the arts,
in the sciences, in thought and all
it's forms, is far from being insig-
nifcant. Everywhere they show
themselves as citizens that are up
right, active and useful in the high
est degree to the lands Of their
adoption. 1t is therefore the height
of iniquity, a glazing defiance OF
the principles of liberalism and of
human rights to refuse equal rights
to such law-abiding citizens.
On the other hand there is only
one way of permitting the Jewish
people, that highly important fac
tor in the worlds progress, whose
continued existence would be mat
ter of interest to all mankind, to live
the life of a nation, under normal
conditions, where it would live &C
cording to the tendencies of its in
born genius, and that is: to give to
the Jewish people publicly, secured
and guaranteed, the opportunity to
settle freely in Palestine to COLOMBO
the land that is almost deserted to-
day, and there to develop their ma
tional culture. This is all the more
reasonable and justihable since their
presence in Palestine would con-
tribute immensely to the rapid re-
awakening of the land and to the IN
crease of the material and moral
welfare of it's present inhabitants.
The mighty task accomplished by
them in the past under very untav-
orable conditions, is the safest
guarantee for the future. AS mat
ter of fact, their fearless pioneers
and their organizations have at pres
ent inaugurated in the land OF their
fathers an era of renaissance by in
PRODUCING their new methods of till
ing the soil, and establishing their
schools, museums and libraries, in
fusing in Palestine new life OF
work and civilization. Thus will
the civic and political emancipation
of the Jewish people be achieved
bv the no less noble and no less just
work of restoring it as nation to
a national life on it's own soil. The
Jewish people is preparing to voice
it's claims on the basis of the prin-
ciples of justice. We fatter our
selves in the belief that they will be
given serious consideration in the
future Peace Conference by the lib

L
colt and even to pillage and mas
sacre them. Such is the position of
the Jews in certain countries of
civilized Europe, in this enlightened
twentieth century, There are other
Jews, who, while theoretically en-
joying all civic and political rights,
are treated as second class citizens
and excluded from certain state Of
fees, from the judicial positions,
from army Offices, from professor
ships, from Universities, etc.
Aside from all religious, economic
and political persecution, a very
serious danger is likewise threaten
ing the Jewish people as regards
its grouping as distinct ethnic
unit. AS result of the abnormal
conditions-tragic conditions, we
may say-in which the Jewish peo-
pie is condemned to live, a great
number of it's children, at times the
most gifted and most intellectual,
leave it without returning; others
become altogether estranged from
the consciousness of their Jewish
nationality and race solidarity; they
lose by degrees all Jewish national
consciousness and are finally
swallowed up by their environment.
This process of anemia affects the
organism Of a nation that feels it.
self menaced in it's national exist
ence With this in view, the claims
of the Jewish people which the Con-
gress will formulate, will have a
double object, complete and eff
fective emancipation (not on paper
alone) of the Jews of all the lands
in which they are scattered, and the
creation of center in Palestine
where they can develop freely, with
out hindrance, as nation whose
radiating influence will forever con-
tribute to keep alive, in all the
diasbora, the national consciousness
of the sons of Israel.
Need we stop here to defend the
causes of complete emancipation of
the Jewish people in all the lands
which they inhabit? Isn't this an
axiom of the most elementary JUS
tice? The Jews are all the more en-
titled to complete equality with their
fellow citizens, since in all the coun-
tries, even in those where they are
subject to the worst treatment, they
respect the laws of the land, acquit
themselves of their duties with
scrupulous consciousness, pay
their taxes, observe their military
duty and form an orderly and pro-
gressive element. By their unceas-

alities. Questions that were be-
lieved forever buried are being ask
ed again, with an imperious insist
ence and the oppressed peoples are
proudly rising to claim vigorously
their right to existence.
The Jewish People, which for the
last forty years has been undergo
ing national rebirth, is equally
preparing to derive benefit from the
solemn historical events through
which we are passing, to raise its
voice in putting forth it's claims, ex-
pecting to realize them with the
generous assistance of all friends OF
Justice and of national independence.
The movement of awakening has
had it's starting point in free Amer
lea. 1t soon spread like quickfire,
and today the Jews of the various
lands including those of Salonikl
are preparing to hold a Congress to
proclaim the right of their people to
a human, dignifed and national life.
These special Congresses will
probably be the precursors of uni
versal Jewish Congress, that will
give solemn and impressive utter
ing to the aspirations of Israel.
No people has suffered more in
the course of it's history, nor is any
people still suffering as much as
the Jewish people. No other people
SO sustains the butt of brutal ostra-
cism, none other is SO bounded, per-
secuted and crushed with such sys-
tematic foreclosures; none other
is more sorrowfully martyred. The
sufferings of the Jewish people are
twofold. On the one hand, its in
dividuals are, in certain lands, de-
prived of the most elementary,
civic and human rights. The hind
RANGES laid in the way OF their
economic development are of such
an extent that one can truly say
without any exaggeration, that a
part of the Jewish people is being
Systematically famished and kept in
a state of degrading misery. Edu-
cation is, to be sure, sparely meas
ured out to them; not only is &C
cess to governmental institutions Of
ten forbidden them, but in addition
their own schools are burdened with
heavy taxes.
Liberal careers and military Of
fees are closed to them and they are
kept out of every paid office in the
state. AS if this were not sufficient,
a depraved public press and dis
honest agitators are enacting, with
the silent consent of the authorities,

Ban johnson did baseball great
service when he rid 1t of rowdyism.
But to do so he bested in the arbiters
an arbitrary power which, unfortu-
nately, seems to be abused by a great
many. Some means should be found
to impress upon these officials that
they are not infaiiible There have been
evidences this season of persecution
of certain managers and certain clubs
by certain umpires. The fact cannot
escape the keen scrutiny of the fan.
No one can fool all of the people all
of the time. And arbiters have come
to view their opinioned selves as above
question. In Chicago the other day
an umpire sent a runner back to first
after he had scored on a wild pitch.
There was no rule to justify such pro-
ceedure. The umpire made his own
rule. Herein lies serious menace.
The umpire, as well as the player,
should be confined to rule. And when
he errs in Interpretation he should
suffer for the fault. as the player suf-
fers when he breaks the rules of dis
cipline. A Judge Of play is the only
Judge who convicts without evidence

Austrian Statement

VIENNA, May 21,(via London).-The war office communication today says:
 "The enemy yesterday continued his attacks on the Isonzo, his main pressure being directed against our positions between the Vodice and Salcano. All the enemy's efforts were fruitless.
 "In the morning the enemy twice brought his masses forward to deliver attacks against Monte Santo. The first attack collapsed under our destructive fire.
 During the second attack enemy troops in the neighborhood of Monte Santo convent forced their way into our trenches which had been destroyed by drum fire Our troops drove the enemy back in a counter attack.
 "In the evening the Italians advanced to a powerful attack on wide front, which on this line was directed against the whole sector near Vodice and Mon- te Santo. At Vodice the stOrming col umns, suffering heavy losses, succeeded in mounting the ridge but were re- pulsed in hand to hand fighting. The Italian divisions directed against Mon te Santo were driven back into their own positions by our artillery fire.
 During yesterdays battle 200 pris- oners and a number of machine guns were captured.
 Our aviators brought down five Italian airplanes."
