Madison, Wis.--Three centuries ago
dainty Priscilla Mullines became the
bride Of John Alden, and rode on a
white OK to the log house he had built
in the Massachusetts wilderness. The
course of true love had not run smooth
in Priscilla's case.
Miles Standish, the doughty warrior
who had saved the Plymouth Colony
from the Indians. had wanted her to
take the place of his lovely Rose"
who had died soon after the Pilgrims
landed. He was a warrior among
men, but afraid OF maiden's eyes,
and he had sent John Alden, his fried.
to do his proposing for him.
Longfallow describes 1t in his poem,
THE Courtshlp Of Miles Standish"
Priscilla waited in maidenly modesty
until Alden had sung the praises OF
his friend, and then whispered why
don't you speak for yourself, John?"
Evidently, John did, because Stand
ish, who had been reported killed by
the Indians, appeared just In time TO
attend the wedding

A NOVEL ENTENTE.

A very novel suggestion for po-
litical alliance in the Near East,
at the close of the war, was made
by Mr.. Norman Hapgood. The
suggestion is for an entente among
a Jewish State in Palestine, a New
Arab Kingdom and a new Armen-
ian State. "On these lines," Mr..
Hapgood says, there has been one
new suggestion made about the
war and it's effect upon the Settle
ment of the Jewish problem, con-
nected with the British success in
Asia Minor. It is, that there might
be formed an entente between a
Jewish State in Palestine, a new
Arab Kingdom to be proclaimed by
Great Britain and a new Armenian
State. Arabs, Jews and Armeni-
ans always get along we'll together,
and would form friendly group of
small nations, at the strategic
points in the trade routes of the
world"

the conquest of Zion. And so it
comes about as a natural, and not
as startling fact, that the leader
of the British forces in Palestine
should explain that it is his purpose
to conquer Zion for restored Jew
ish nation. And it is significant
that in telling the world what he
wants to do that he makes plain his
full understanding of what the ac-
complishment involves. He realizes
full we'll that all the Jews are not
going to Palestine, and he under
stands just what the Jews can do
if they are rehabilitated there.
The British declaration is in all
probability not the last word that
will be said Of what is to the Jews
the most momentous issue in their
history. And for our part, the
proverb: "Let him not boast that
putteth his armor on, but him that
taketh it off" applies now with
great accuracy. The fundamental
truth remains, the truth which the
Zionists felt certain of through all
the long years Of their struggles;
that the only element in the world
that can make Palestine blossom is
the Jewish people, and if the Jews
have courage to will it, then in the
fullness of time the Jewish yearn-
ing, the Jewish hope will be fulfill
ed. The great war is making his
tory for all the world. 1t would ap-
pear almost certain that it can
make history for the Jews too, if
the Jews find ways and means of
expressing their eagerness to carve
out a noble destiny for themselves.

CIlO UIOdu CuI / CLIO VI PO1 111e@AOAlC
English opinion, there is nothing
new, although much that is pleas
ant in the frank statement made
semi-officially by the general COM
handing the British forces now
moving northward in Palestine.
The British are a Bible-loving peo-
pie, and it has always been charac-
teristic of the British army officers
that they have been Bible believers.
The Inflated General Gordon of
Khartoum, went with cane in one
hand, and a Bible in the other, to
overcome the Mahdi. There are
British sects that believe that they
are part of the lost Ten Tribes.
There are tens of thousands of Eng
lishmen who believe that the Scone
Stone on which British Kings are
enthroned in Westminster Abbey
is the stone on which Jacob rested
at Bethlehem. 1t was the convic-
tion that the entrance Of the Jews
into England would complete the
Dispersion and thus usher in the
millennium, that brought Oliver
Cromwell to yield to Menasseh Ben
IsraePs plea for the re-admission of
the Jews into England. Therefore,
to the English the Jews are and
have always been. as Queen Vic
toria put it in the patent in which
she granted special honors to Moses
Montefore, members of the Jew
ish nation" And therefore it has
been a simple doctrine to the Eng
lish mind that to this nation should
come restoration, and that it's re-
Mobilization should be in Palestine.
1t was the fervency of his belief
in this doctrine that gave Benjamin
D'Israeli the advantage which he
used to the utmost in the political
struggle which ended in making
him Premier. 1t was characteris-
tic of his understanding Of his en-
vironment that he made his first
notable literary hit with David AL
roy, and almost at the end of his
career, explained that he had taken
Cyprus as one Of the profits of the
settlement of the great war of his
period, because of it's propinquity
to Palestine"
Nahum Sokolow, now in England,
has devoted two years to producing
volume of 800 pages, gathering
the evidence of British appreciation
of Jewish Palestinian restoration.
1t has not been all literary nor all
sentiment. Sir Charles Warren,
one of Lord Kitchener's military
comrades of 1875, foreshadowed

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
THE ENGLISH MESSAGE
BY Jacob de Haas, Editor Jewish Advocate

Palestine could have only one logi-
cal outcome one that Zionists
have always proclaimed. Lord
Kitchener took the same ground
with a broad political belief in it's
utility. The Jews re-settled in
Palestine meant to him a neutrali-
cation of the head-rail of a railroad
system that would reach through
Bagdad to India.
The Earl of Shaftesbury, in
1856, and D'Israeli, prepared indie
pendent political plans having the
same end, their purpose being that
Zionist achievement would be the
most correct and feasible solution
Of the near-eastern question. Con-
der, the great surveyor of Pales-
tine, saw the problem in the same
light as George Eliot visioned it in
Daniel Deronda- as a new meeting
place for the East and West, Bel
GUM of the Orient, in which the
Jews would rejuvenate their cul-
ture and so, in a modern way,
realize the prophecy that "from
Zion should go forth the word of
the Law"
Laurence Oliphant held the same
attitude when he went to Constan-
tinople in 1880 with letters from
the present kings father, urging
the Sultan to give Palestine to the
Jews. Lord Cromer, than whom no
man Of all the British pro-consuls
had better understanding of the
Oriental question, was anxious to
have Jewish neighbors for Egypt.
Lord Miner, one Of the political
quartet that governs England to-
day, wrote in the same strain only
a few months ago. Lord Salisbury,
uncle Of the present Foreign Sec
rotary, Mr.. Balfour, (who is now
in the United States) twenty
years ago, not only realized the
character of the Zionist movement,
but understood the nature of the
Jewish position, and made the
statement that eff only forty per
cent. of the Jews are theoretically
interested, they would certainly
accomplish their purpose" And
the present Foreign Secretary,
even as the present Premier of
England, was interested in the
Zionist movement as a manifesto
ton of human possibilities when
tens of thousands of Jews were
soothing at the idea as impractical
and impossible.
1t was because he held just the
contrary opinion that Col. Patter-
