Italians Support Plan
to Establish Jewish State

Washington, June 7. - Cordial ap-
proval of the idea of an independent
Jewish state in Palestine is expressed
by diplomats representing the entente
powres here. This assurance has been
obtained from the statesmen of the
allied nations by the leaders of the
Zionist movement. The latest country
to respond to the Inquiries of the
Zionists is Italy. Members of the
Italian mission asserted yesterday
that Italy approved of the project.
The allied Governments do not con-
test the right of the Jews, it was de-
clared by an entente diplomat yester-
day. to establish themselves wherever
they desire. If many or few Jews
should return to Palestine to assist in
the establishment of their national in
dependence and formation of a gov
ernment they would receive the recoR-
milton and announcement of the al
lied nations, it was said.
The view is held by the entente
Governments that the Jewsish quas-
ton is limited to Russia and Rum5% a.
and in. Russia the Jews have been
granted equal rights by the Provisionl
Government. 1t is considered improb-
able that Russia will return to
pogroms and the persecution of the
Jews.

Petrograd. June Z. - The Kronstadt
incident is closed. The local commit
tee of soldiers and workmens dele
gates has recognised the authority of
tho provisional government.
The local committee of the work
mems and soldiers delegates at Kron-
stadt decided on June 1 to assume con-
troll of the great fortress and to re-
fuse recognition of the provisional
government. The government officials
were removed. The secessionists put
forward a program OF splitting Russia
up into a great number of self-gov-
erning communities and sent mission
aries out to try, to persuade neigh
boring towns to join them. The So
cialist ministers in the provisional
cabinet, MN. Tseretelli and Skobeleff
went to Kronstadt from Petrograd and
endeavored to persuade the seceders
to abandon their plan; The present
surrender, is apparently a result of
their arguments,

South Fifth street, philadelphia, has
been besieged with applicants since
its opening on Saturday, June 2.
Over sixty men nave peen' examin-

days. The greater part of these are
experienced telegraph and radio op-
orators, wiremen on telephone and
telegraph lines and those familiar
with the various branches of cleo
tricity. There is an urgent need
for these men and at the present
rate at which the applicants are
pouring in, the chances for getting
in this part of the service Will not
be open for a very great length of
time.

There are a great number of non

$4,000 for the purpose of equipping
a clubhouse for Pennsylvania SOL
diers somewhere in France" where
thev will find home comforts and
cheer on their way to and from the
