Palestinian Utopia, conjuring up for a
skeptical world an cnthralling vision of

But "The Jewish State" published by
Theodore Herzl four years earlier, or
in 1895, book dealing in matter Of

problem and presenting in practical

The voice Of the new prophet was a

chisement Of the large elements of the
Jewish population had caused fatal
detachment from the political realities

Jewish people, which was OPPORTUNITY
or providentially rousing itself from
long lethargy. The master builder OF
the Jewish state had arrived, and he
could no longer be his own master. He
hardened to the call Of his people and
placed himself at their service. The
message of the little book spread
further and with greater rapidity than
the author expected.
Visiting Sofia, he was welcomed by
deputation of local Jews, who hailed
him as leader. The Kadimah Of
Vienna, student society Of Jewish
nationalists, previously organized by
DR.. Birnbaum, approached him with a
direct offer Of support, proposing the
foundation Of society of Jews as out
lined in the book. Through the as
sistancc of Israel .Zangwill, the first
English Jew to befriend the author of
"The Jewish State" DR.. Herzl was ex-

Maccab@ans, society Of Angio-Jewish

our difficulties for sugar arise out of

were sugar laden. 1t is impossible to
replace sugar destroyed in this way
and is but one more evidence of the

each new effort to injure this coun-
try, the American people will only
hitch their belts one notch together
and this sinking of the ships is the
cause of our tightening up on sugar
conservation.
