1t was in this region that the great
German retirement of last month took
place. According to the Germans the
retirement was to have delayed any
contemplated British offensive here
for weeks if not months. Nevertheless
the British have evidently been able to
organize their combinations and bring
up their guns across the devastated
territory and to deliver a smashing
and effective blow within a compara-
lively few days.

where. In other words, Zionism
must work for the "Judenstaat"
either through special dispensation
or as a consequence of Turkish
democracy.
If Zionism means merely that
Jews shall live in Palestine if they
choose, that in time they may come
to constitute the majority of the
population, that in time through the
general spread of democratic forms
of government, Turkey or whatever
government may be in control shall

rule, and that through the ballot a
measure of self-government will be
accorded to the Jews in Palestine
then few Jews can be found who
are not Zionists. But that is not
Zionism. That is democracy. That
means simply that in the emancipa-
ton of the Jew Palestine shall be
considered a part Of the human re-
public.
Practical Zionism is not so altru-
istic as to await the slow marches
of democracy. 1t must precede not

suit of the establishment of the prin
ciples of a democratic form of self
government. Zionism is to be

JEWISH EMANCIPATION AND ZIONISM
BY Gustavus Loevinger.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM&MMMM
The Jewish people are divided to-
Anti-Zionists there are scarcely any.
Anti-Zionism, like opposition to
many other movements, was ground
ed on ignorance and fear. The anti
Zionist did not fully understand the
movement and he feared that it's ma
tionalistic aspects would foster anti
Senitism. Through the publicity
given the Zionistic cause it's objects
and ideals are becoming better
known, better appreciated and con-
seouently less feared
Representative Zionists claim that
Zionism is a program of democracy,
social justice and international ser
vice. If this is true then it is diff
cult to see wherein this program
differs very materially from any pro-
gressive or reform movement of
moment Woman suffrage for ex-
ample, proposes the same program.
Socialism promises the same results.
Great international fraternal organ
i:ations proclaim the same objects.
Judaism and Christianity both claim
that if their teachings were practised
generally, these purposes would be
realized Zionists must therefore
mean, not that Zionism is peculiarly
the expression Of democracy, social
justice and international service, but
rather that when realized and con-
summated Zionism will be means
for working out this program.
1t is perhaps because in it's present
manifestations, Zionism is zealously
seeking to align itself with the laws
of social progress and growth, that
it is feared less. But there is still
good ground for Jews to refuse to
commit themselves to the Zionistic
cause.
Zionism must take one of two
positions: either it must seek to pro-
cure for the Jew publicly recog-
nized legally secured home in
Palestine with Jewish autonomy
without waiting for the general
emancipation of the Jew and spread
of democratic forms of government
to European and Asiatic states, par
ticularly, Turkey; or it must be will
ing to await the spread of democrac!
with it's natural autonomy for the

St. Paul and Minneapolis January 70, 1917.

means to achieve that democracy.
1t therefore comes first in point
of time. 1t must be realized through
other means. The sovereign Of
Palestine must give that country
and it's Jewish inhabitants
special dispensation, special char
tiers, special privileges. He must
give the Jews autonomy and guar
antee them security even before
other groups or nationalities in his
empire are SO favored. Other ma
tons, European nations, must
assume voluntarily the burden of
protecting the Jews against a
repeal of the charter and the
special dispensation, even though
they are not ready to protect
neutral states or each other or
even to protect the Jews within their
borders. The situation is anomalous
in a number of respects. Zionists
without demanding democracy in
Turkey, demand it for part of Tur-
key, Palestine. Zionists without
awaiting the liberation of the
Jew by Europe expects Europe to
insure the liberty of the Jew in
Palestine Zionists without await
ing the removal of the causes of
persecution and oppression, expect
the removal of persecution and OPP
preston in at least one place, Pal
estine Zionists without furnishing
any new motive for love of the Jew,
expect Arab and Turk to abandon
the attitude maintained for 5000
years for one of tolerance, faithful
ness and justice.
Fundamentally, therefore, Zionism
is not democratic. Of necessity it
is based on special privilege. But
special privilege is social injustice,
not social justice. And the people
of a pampered protectorate are hard
1y in a position to render interna-
tional service either to free people
or people struggling 1or freedom
against special privilege.
That Zionism is fundamentally
undemocratic may be demonstrated
from another standpoint. Mos
Zionistic leaders are agreed that
Zionism does not insist on, expect
or demand national sovereignty,
complete independence. The Zion
istic Estate" is to remain under Turk
ish rule. 1t is to have self-govern-
ment only in those matters dealing
with the Jewish group-life. Its
self-government in this respect is to
be legally secured and publicly rec
ognized. If the legal security and

EXTENDING IT'S BOUNDARY LINE.

Baltimore City is extending its
boundary line this morning (on
paper) and shows in a map what it
proposes TO take into its municipality.
Some of its to-be-acquired property,
il the bill passes at the next Legisla-
ture. will include Curtis Bay, Brook
lyn, Shipleys, Linthicum, Solleys,
Walnut Point, Hawkins Point, Pun
phrey, Clifford, Fairfield, Masonville.
Wagner's Point, etc. etc.
Why not let Baltimore take in An
napolis and the Naval Academy while
she's about it. Don't stop even there!
Let her take in Bay Ridge, Arundel
on-the-Bay and Kent Island across
the Bay There's nothing mean about
Baltimore when she wants to extend
her boundaries. Indeed, she might
take in all the counties and the State
may as well be called Baltimore as
Maryland
Baltimore always gets what she
goes after. and no one seems to say
her nay. The counties are not, APP
parently making much of a fight in
this annexation plan. Anne Arundel
seems to be lying supinely by and
inviting Baltimore to come swallow
her up Tor DOWN at one huge gulp.
What are the voters going to do
about it? Are they going to send to
the Legislature, men who will stand
for this sort of thing?

TONGUES AND PENS.

Perhaps the members of our con-

will be equally Just in seeing that the
newspapers get fair treatment at the
hands of public men. Also might we
suggest that. while many public men
deeply resent mention in the news
papers of those irritating words pork
barrel they are as lilies of the field
compared with some of the terms
used in the halls of congress. Sena-
tors denounced by senator's as trait
ors," representatives alluded to by
representatives as 'copperheads,"

No PROVING GROUND AVAILABLE.

II has been finally settled that Kent
Island is not available as an army
proving ground and, as it was the only
site. according TO experts. in the
vicinity of Maryland. Delaware and
Pennsylvania, where most OF the
large ammunition factories are To-
Gated. the matter rests that there will
probably be no proving ground. The
Kent Islanders will only regret this
effort on their part once, and that will
be fer all time When their sons,
whom they have given to the govern
ment. are shot down and killed be-
cause OF defective ammunition and
guns that could not be tested before
being shipped abroad. they will real
lie their mistake
But what does il matter. Senator
John Walter Smith has no son TO go
to war, nor has Congressman J..
Charles Linthicum, or Congressman
Zihlman. or Congressman Price, and
the rest Of those who fought against
the issue, and at the same time
against the government
However true, patriotic Maryland
ers should not forget Representative
Coady. the only Maryland Congress
man who stood by the President and
the government and for his country.
II is TO be regretted that Mr.. Coady
was not permitted to make that
speech. because of the bill being de-
feated along technical lines.N Mr..
Coady would have shown that these
same gentlemen from Maryland who
cried out against depriying these Kent
Islanders of their homes, did not de-
muir when they voted for Baltimore
TO extend its civic centre and dis
possess the Jews of Harrison street
and Marsh Market Space in that city,
OF their homes. to a far greater num-
Der than the people who inhabit Kent
Island and at the same time they put
out OF commission more places of
business than Kent Island ever saw
in its territory But then, Baltimore
is quite another thing from the coun-
ties. and Baltimore votes did not
count for those who defeated the War
Department measure.
A nation that has right to con-
script its men. has right to con-
script its land, especially its islands,
that are needed by the government for
testing and proving ammunition.
We fear these statesmen who fought
and opposed the government and took
sides against their country, and that
country at war, may yet live to re-
gret it.
