the men and women who, under free
western skies, gave literary or more
practical form to this yearning. There
was Warder Cresson, the first Ameri-
can Consul near Jerusalem, whose in
terest in Jewish aspirations carried him
so far as to adopt Judaism as his re-
lgion. In 1850 he established Jewish
agricultural colony in Jerusalem, en-
listing the support Of the Rev. Isaac
Lesser, of Philadelphia, and others. On
March 5. 1891, William e. Blackstone,
Of Oak Park, Ill.,, presented a memorial
to President Harrison, appealing for
the good Offices Of the United States in
securing the consent Of the powers to
restore Palestine to the Jews. This
document bore the signatures Of several
thousand prominent editors, publishers,
clergymcn and other citizens of note
throughout the country.
Among eminent representatives of
the Jewish race in America who early
advocated the revival of the Jewish
nationality was Emma Lazarus, the
noted poetess and essayist and perhaps
the most distinguished Jewish figure
in American letters, whose sonnet,
"The New Colossus" voicing the credo
Of American democracy, adorns the
Statue Of Liberty. "An Epistle to the
Hebrews" published by her in 1883,
stirred the Jews In America to higher
realization Of the destiny of the race,
and her stirring poem, "The Banner of
the jew" continues to be the battle
cry Of the struggle for national self
assertion.

ed that Prussia adopt the universal,
equal. direct and secret ballot by which
the Reichstag is elected. Later Deputy
Fuhrmann gained more knowledge and
most cnergetically defended the Prus-
sian electoral system, only to attack it
in April, 1917, and to ask, since that
time, a system comforting a plurality OF
votes on each member Of the favored
classes. A metamorphosis, which took
ten years in time of peace, may be ef
fected, under the world wars influence,
within ten weeks, and even ten days.
And no loyal man may impugn the mo-
tives of the present Vice Premier, DR..
Friedberg, who is fighting what he used
20 advocate"
Dr.. Friedberg was one Of the bitter
est opponents to equal and universal
suffrage up to the time Of his recent
appointment as Nice-Premicr OF Prus-
sa, when he suddenly became an ad-
vocate OF the electoral system by which
tho members of the Reichstag are
chosen. He did so because the "crown"
needed some men TO defeat the Kaiser's
bill, which is designed to show the sin
cerc liberalism of William II but not to
be enacted.
If it was not the purpose of the bill
to deceive the people Count Hertling
would not have been made Chancellor
and Prussian Premier. For Hertling
WAS one of the most consistent reac-
tionaries while he was member of the
Reichs stag and Bavarian Premier He
never would have accepted the position
of Chancellor and Prussian Minister
if he had not obtained secret guarantees
that the electoral reform will be badly
beaten.
Two days after the King of Prussia,
who is also the German Kaiser. had an
nounced his alleged intention of grant

Under the present law the members
of the House Of Representatives OF
the Prussan Diet are elected by Land

posed of number of election dis
tricts, the voters of each election dis
trict being divided in three classes. ac-

forming the first class: the next big

Each class elects in every election

He Was First
American Zionist

But it IS to Mordecai Manuel Noah,
soldier. lawyer, playwright, editor,
diplomat and philanthropist, "a leader
in Israel and loyal and true Ameri
can" that belongs the title of the first
American Zionist. Distinguished in
life, celebrated in history and immor-
talized IN fiction by at least two emf
nent novelists, he remains the most
striking figure in the annals of Ameri
can Jcwry and one Of the most pictu
rescue personalities in the long roll Of
honor who sought to restore the fallen
glory of the Jew. The remarkable ca
reer of Major Noah had long attracted
the attention of various writers and
has inspired one of the most fascinat-
ing OF Israel Zangwill's stories, "Noah's
Ark based upon the hero's premature
and disastrous attempt to found, in
1926, colonial asylum for the op-
pressed in Israel on Grand Island

proposed East African colony favored
by Herzl, was to serve as a halfway
house to Zion.

in photographed form, introduces
Major Noah as writer of plays and
as an editor "Moreovcr," says the
narrator of the story, che was

Prussian Diet: zone part Of my
friends favors equal suffrage" and
added: "The other part reserves it's
decision" meaning that they don't
care to state from the outset their
opposition to any real electoral re-
form.
Those who are rendering perfume
tory lip service to equal suffrage repre-
sent predominantly urban districts,
and will, if one may draw conclusions
from preccdents, absent themselves
when the final vote is taken. They
are resorting to the same old tactics
they so successfully employed in 1911
TO prevent any amendment of The
prussian electoral law.
Still less may be expected from the
National Liberals, who change their
political face as often as the chame
leon changes it's colors. and are justly
known as the Party " ather Vane.

1t was Dr. Theodore Herzl who spoke
thesc words and they formed part of
The memorable address he delivered at
The Fourth Zionist Congress-, held in
London. August 13. 1900. Seventeen
Years later the Right Hon. Arthur J.

Affairs OF the British government,
wrote to Lord Walter Lionel Roth
schild, declaring in behalf Of the Eng
lish Cabinet, that "his majesty's gov
ernment view with favor the establish
ment in Palestine of national home
or the Jewish people and will use
he;r best endcavors to facilitate the
achievement Of this object"
1t was on November ?, 1917, that
this statement was transmitted to the
Zionist Federation Of England, and the
day has already been recorded by a
host Of Jewish writers as the most
significant in thousand years of
Jewish history-for on that day, "the
Magma Charta Of Jewish national res
.oration' was promulgated and the
declaration now made in behalf of her
Allies and herself by the great Empire
70 which Herzl looked for the most
effective encouragement, at once lent
70 the vision of the poet and play
wright the colors Of reality. 1t is
worthy Of note that in England the
founder of modern Zionism first pub
lcly propounded his project for
Jewish state and that England in 1903
offered to the Zionist organization a
territory for Jewish settlement in
British East Africa, territory which
vas to serve as stepping stone,

rehabilitation of the Jewish PEOPLE.

course, and DR.. Michaelis was appointed
successor to Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, who had resigned.
But the bureaucrat Michacls was not
the man to deceive the Prussian and
German peoples. The Kaiser looked for
another person to do the trick. Mchaelis
was, from the outset. universally re-
garded as stopgap. He had to fill the
position until the fright man" was
found. Finally. Hertling consented to
accept the offer of June IS, which was
made a second time, after matters had
been arranged in such a manner that
the electoral reform bin would be de-
