Church in Greece was kept alive by
the Moslems. Then the suffering
became unbearable. and the war of lib
Grafton was the. result The Greeks
prevailed Still. modern Greece would
not have been able 10 make much prog
ress If Turkey had not kept up con-
tinual persecution of the Greek peo-
pic in Asia Minor and the Balkan Pc
ninsula, where the greatest numbers
dwelt
1t was Turkey that helped the
Greeks increase in number in their
reconquered land What would have
happened if the Turks mad exercised
leniency toward their Greek subjects
after they acquired an independent
state? The Greeks i'm Greece would
not have increased in number, and
the best we could say about them would
be that they would have had country
without a people.
If Palestine had been given TO the
Jews ten, or even five. years ago, during
the persecution in Russia, of the Ill
treatment in Rumania and of the anti
Semitic movements in Austria Hun
gary and Germany, millions of their
numbers would have hocked TO re-
deemed Judea, and a new Jewish state
would have sprung up among the ruins
Of devastated land Jewish money,
Jewish perseverance. Jewish labor and
Jewish skill would have combined in
great force to make an arid land fruit
full, TO build modern docks and whsrfs,
TO establish factories, introduce indus
tries and after much effort make the
undertaking a success.
But the aspect suddenly underwent
IL L
six million Jews, became free coun-
try. No matter what sort of govern
ment Russia will establish after the
great world war j. over, II is going
10 be a free government, where the
Jews will be equal before the law. Ru-
mania has promised and the Allies
will see 20 it that she keeps her prom
ise-that her Jews will be thoroughly
emancipated.
.Austria-Hungary and Germany will,
after the war, do away with their
anti-Semitism. seeing that even In
Russia equality will be established.
What will then be the comDell-
ing force that will drive the Jews

higher state Of civilization and migrate
to a land Of ruins surrounded by row

Not To Reestablish Ancient Rites
Some maintain that the motive power
might be the reestablishment Of their
old religious services. There is no

Straus Is Elated
Nathan Straus. known as "the grand

Gently announced that he would finance
the trip Of any recognized Zionist TO
Palestine, was elated when he heard Of
the bloodless victory Of the British.

pew. TOO big to be discussed in detail
Within a few days | will be able 70 say
more about my plans: but not yet"
Rabbi Stephen s. Wise. one Of the
most ardent Zionists in the city, said
that he was doubly happy at the news,
because il would give the Jews oppor-
tunity to solve their problems in their
own long hoped-for manner. Sugges-
tions that Russia had solved the prob
lem of the Jews, he said, were not 10
be considered. as the Jew must solve
his own problems on soil that was
originally Jewish.
Bishop David II. Greer, of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church, said that II
was difficult to determine just what the
result of the British victory might be.
THE fall Of Jerusalem, taking 1t out
OF the hands of the Noslems and plac-
ing il in the hands of a Christian
power, is most significant and nota-
bic event." he said. Coming on the
eve Of Christmas. it will take Us back
to the sacred memories and traditions
of the Holy Land in new way.
Whether the Jews will wish TO re-
turn to this city in large numbers is
a subject Of interesting speculation,
but it is too early 10 forecast such a
result. This may mean the nucleus for

mons Temple once loomed. above all
other edifices Of old Israel, the Ma

of Omar. considered as one Of the
most adored centres Of Islam. Even
if it were possible TO demolish
that mosque, the great mass Of the
Jewish liberals would never permit the

Israel is on the verge of being reha-
bilitated as a nation on it's own tradi-

American florists are convinced
that the capture Of jerusalem By the
British has removed the last obstacle
in the way Of realizing their 1000
year-old hope-the establishment Of a
legally assured home for the Jews in
Palestine.
Yesterdays news gave renewed i'm
petus 10 the plans of the Federated
American Zionists for the demonstra-
ton scheduled to take place at Carne-
gle Hall, December %. But the meet
ing. originally intended only as a cele-
bration of the announcement by Lord
Balfour that the British government
had recognized the claims Of the Zion
lists, now will become victory jubi-
lee.
The worldwide movement of Jews
to form publicly secured and legally
assured" home in Palestine is declared
TO have the support of the majority
of the 100000 Jews in the United
States. According to figures on record
at the headquarters of the Provisional
Executive Committee of the Zionist
movement at II East Twenty-third
Street, there are 100000 Jewish adults
in this country. half Of whom arc will

movement and pay poll tax for the

Fall of Holy City Relieves
Bagdad Menace Says Baker

WASHINGTON. Dec. Secretary
Baker in his weekly review says:
"The success of British operations
in Palestine has had a very decided
military effect throughout the Ottoman
Empire, and much of the pressure
which the German higher command had
hoped to bring to bear in Mesopotsmia,
with the view to recapturing Bagdad,
has been relieved.
"In Mesopotamia the British are ca
rying forward their operation on the
right bank of the Diala River with
great success. Ii is interesting to
record that small Russian detach

"Jewish Morning Journal"
Halls Britain as "Messidh"

THE Jewish Morning Journal" halls
Great Britain this morning as the hrst
conqueror of the Holy City since the
days OF Cyrus TO merit the title
Messiah" Although the Persian king
was so designated in the Scriptures,
says "The Jewish Morning Journal"
his proclamation of freedom for Jews
came only after his occupation of
Jerusalem. while Great Britain an
nounced her purpose before the fal!
Of the city. Utter confidence in Great
Britan's faith is expressed in the edi-
torial. which, in part. follows:
"Our holy ancient capital has many
times fallen into the hands of con-
cueror since the Sons Of Judah have
conquered and burned her after the
death of Joshua, the son of Nun. as
told in the first chapter of Judges. But
~ no time has she fallen into hands
other than Jewish under such circum-
stances as the present. and her pass
ing into new hands has never had Sucn
deep interest for millions of Jews in
other lands az this time.
England is conquering Palestine for
Us. One must himself be Jew and
know the Holy Writ in the original
language to grasp what il all means to
the jew who has not entirely estranged
himself from his brethren.
"All questions about the future SOW
creignty over our ancient homeland arc
answered, and all doubt is dispelled.
Palestine belongs to England, and will
remain with her after the World War
and after oil possible changes which
We can imagine for the future which
can be of practical interest to us. Pal
cstine is now under the dominion of
the power which has promised to per-
nit us to establish there a Jewish
homeland, under the power which is al
lied with great and free America and
with beautiful and lovely France to
make the world safe for democracy,
safer for the oppressed nationalities,
for the homeless and wandering Jews
Who are themselves not sure whether
they are nation or not.
