DRIVE BALL OVER 2O0-YARD

SoME baseball fans and lone golfer
~ got into an argument the day the
big Hog Island baseball field opened
FOR play. Standing at the home plate
the eight foot fence that surrounds the
ground seemed to be a mile away SO
when the golf bug said that golfer
could stand at the home plate and drive
ball over the fence the baseball fans
told him politely that he was crazy. But

! Connie Mack and Pat Moran think he is
Inc problem was put up to me but the

left-feId fence was 600 yards from the
plate while the center field fence was

there was no argument for even Jesse
Guilford could not send a golf ball that
far and there Is not man in the coun-

Later on I got in touch with the pub

admitted later that the yards should
have been feet.

THE THIRD CONTINGENT.

The actual number of recruits in
the third contingent of the Jewish
Battalion which is to fight in
Palestine, and which has left New
York City on April 10th, is 482.
This number was recruited in the
following manner:
New York City 100, Chicago IS,
Boston so, Cleveland 80, Detroit 10,
Philadelphia IS, Pittsburgh Il, Kan
sas City 8, Minneapolis 7, ST. Louis
10, Baltimore 20, Cincinnati IS,
Waterbury, Hartford 20, Stamford,
Springfield 20.
Among the recruits in this con-
tingent, are Solomon Frankel, who
for the past five years has been one
of the most active Yiddish propa-
gandists in the Zionist Organiza-
ton; Gershon Agronsky, managing
editor of "Dos Yiddishe Folk" an
official Zionist organ; and Louis
Fisher of the Zionist Bureau in
Philadelphia. Recruiting for the
fourth contingent has already be-
gun.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1918-04-26
April 20, 1918.

Jews of those countries will con-
tinue to be the football of contend
ing factions and parties as hereto
fore. To Bolsheviki the Jews are
bourgeoisie, and to the bourgeois
they are Bo1sheviki. To the Poles
they are pro-German, and to the
Germans they are pro-Polish. The
old disease of Jew hatred, while here
and there it may momentarily be
abated, is sure to break out again.
The virus will continue to be in
stilled by priests and aristocrats, by
exploiters and demagogs, by the
envious and the malicious, by all
those who must hate and abuse
somebody, or who have some per-
sonal interest and gain in doing it.
And the Jew is the historic scape-
goat.
The condition of the Jews in Ger
manic lands will not change either.
That the German and Austrian Jews
like their Christian compatriots are
now sacrificing themselves for the
Kaiser and the Junkers does not
matter. Anti-Senitism is rampant
right now, and will probably break
out with greater virulence when the
war ends with the defeat of Ger
many and the utter collapse of her
ambitions, as we feel confident it
will end. Germany will then recall
the fact that the Jews of all other
countries fought and labored for the
cause of the allies, that the alien
Jews of England and America even
formed their own battalions to help
Britain in Palestine, and she will
then make her own Jews feel her
resentment and wrath. All this is
dismal prophecy. Would to God
that it prove false. Our only hope
is Palestine and America-a Jewish
Palestine and democratic America.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
RESTORATION CONVENTION
IN PITTSBURGH.

Twenty-first Annual Meeting of
Zionists will Discuss Political and
Economic Needs of New Jewish
State.
The next convention of the Zionist
Organization Of America will be
held in Pittsburgh for the week be-
ginning Sunday, June 23rd, and end
ing on the evening of Thursday,
June 18th. The Pittsburgh Zionists
are already busy with preliminary
arrangements, and are organizing
strong committees to handle all of
the elaborate details that will be
necessary for the successful conduct
of the most important convention
ever held in the history of the Zion
ist movement.
Since last June when the Zionists
convened in Baltimore, practically
every Allied country in Europe led
by Great Britain and most of the
Allied countries have declared them
selves in favor of the establish
ment of a Jewish national homeland
in Palestine, and have given or have
pledged themselves to give to the
aims and purposes of the Zionist
movement that public recognition
and legal assurance which is the
basic principle of the Basic program
British arms have successfully
cleared the way for the actual work
of restoration. The Jewish Admin
istrative Commission, the first Jew
ish governmental body in Palestine
in 1000 years, is already quartered
in Tel Aviv, the beautiful suburb
of Jaffa A definite program has
been worked out by this commission
which is charged. with the duty of
laying the foundation for rehabili-
tated Palestine, for Jewish state
which shall be an adequate answer to
the ideals of government and social
justice that the Jews have carried
in their souls during the centuries
of oppression. A Jewish regiment,
organized in London, is already in
Palestine and on it's way to the bat
tie front. Over a thousand young
men have joined the Jewish legion
that is going to Palestine from
America. ThrOughOut the world a
vast sum of money has been raised
for the purposes Of the Jewish Ad-
ministrative Commission. Ameri
can Jewry has thus far contributed
over 81 100000 toward this fund.
All of this will be embodied in
the reports that will be made at the
Pittsburgh Convention, at which
there will be DELEGATES from 500 So
