Mrs. Zangwill Not Tewess.

A controversy has been waging in
an Eastern publication as to whether
Mrs. Israel Zangwill was a Jewess
or not. The following letter dis

LIN. ENI11GL 1NI1LENOW
DEAD.
Noted Zionist Leader Passes Away
In London.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived last Monday by the Provi
sional Zionist Committee:
With deep sorrow we inform you
that our beloved friend and leader,
Doctor Jechiel Tchlenow passed
away without pain peacefully in his
sleep, Thursday night, January 81,
1913. We are embalming his body
for possible later removal.
Achad Ha'am
Nahum Soko1ow
Chain Weitzman
Zionists all over the world are
mourning the loss Of one of their
distinguished personalities, DIR. Je-
chiel Tchlenow. His tragic death
is great shock.
DIR. Tchlenow was one of the
heads of the international Zionist
organization. Prior to the modern
Zionist organization, he was one Of
the pioneers in the Choveve Zion
movement. Immediately after Dr.
Herzl published "Judenstaat," he
offered his service to Herzl and he
soon became closely associated with
the immortal Zionist leader. At the
Zionist Congresses he played one of
the leading roles. To many he was
known as the "Russian Herzl." He
was a born leader, restrained in his
manner, devoid of boldness, tactful,
and able to gain the confidence Of
the ordinary Zionist. Tchlenow
was the cosmopolitan in Russian
Zionism, and one Of the links which
united the West European Zionists
with the Russian Zionists.
After Herbs death he became the
de facto leader of the Zionist or
ganization. He gave up his lucra-
tive medical practice in Moscow and
settled in Berlin, where the Actions
Committee had it's seat, in order to
direct the Zionist operations. When
the war broke out, he went to
Copenhagen, but for the past three
months he resided in London, where,
together with Dr. Weitzman and
Nahum Sokolow he conducted the
negotiations with the British gov
eminent, which eliminated in the
British declaration favoring Zion
ism. He was to have been a mem
Der of the Commission to lay the
foundation for the future Jewish
homeland in Palestine

Why Russia, France and Great Britain
Entered the War

Defense.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1918-05-16

The friendship of Russia for Servia
has long been an A B C of the Balkan
problem. Russia was bound by ties
of race and religion to protect Servia
She was equally bound by self-interest
For two centuries it had been Russia S
ambition to get access to the Mediter
ranean. either by conquering Turkey
or by having the Turkish possessions
fall into the hands of friendly Balkan
states. 1t was therefore as certain
that Russia would try to protect the
independence of Servia in 1914 - that
the United States would try te pro
tect South America against ATTACH by
a European power
The attack of Austria upon Servia
did bring Russia to the rescue, but
Russia showed every desire to avoid
war. First, she induced Servia to make
a most submissive answer to the Aus
'trian ultimatum. Then, she accepted
Eall offers of mediation between herself
and Austria and agreed to accept any
form of conference which Germany
might suggest. Finally, she proposed
that the Austro- Servian dispute
should be referred to the Hague Tri-
ibunal. When Austria and Germany re,
fused or evaded these proposals and
Austria pushed her attack on Servla,
Russia July 29) ordered a partial
mobilization of her troops, but later
,(July 3O) offered to give up her mill
'tary preparations if Austria would
agree ito eliminate from her ultima
tum points which violate the sovereign
rights of Servia" The answer was a
fiat refusal
On July 81 Austria replied to Rus
sia's partial mobilization by calling out
/all her troops, and Russia followed suit
Then. for the first time July 80
Austria began to negotiate. At once
the German emperor seized the relns
and ordered the Gear to stop all mill
tary preparations within twelve hours
To obey, in view of German and Aus.
trian preparedness for war, would
have been madness. The Car replied
by urging the emperor to join with
him in working for the preservation OF
peace, even though they were Dotn
calling out their forces. But Emperor
William was unyielding, and later IN
the day aug. u declared war on Rus
STA
Can anyone doubt that Germany
forced war upon Russia?
Under the terms of the Dual Alliance
(1891), France was bound to come to
the help of Russia if she was attacked
by Germany, and there was no doubt
that she would be loyal to her obi.
cations. But Germany did not desire
to wait until France should come in /;
her plan was to crush France and then
turn upon slow-mobilizing Russia
Indeed, Germany was prepared, if nee
essary, to goad France into war. The
German ambassador in Paris was &C
cordingly instructed July 80 to de

neutral, she must surrender her great

fOrtresseS, TOul and Verdun, to Ger
many as pledge of her neutrality!
From the very start, France made
every effort to preserve the peace Of
Europe. She encOura ed all the peace
proposals put forward in any quarter.
Jaures, the great French Socialist,
told the simple truth when he said
July 29): Il have never shrunk from
bringing on my head the hatred of our
chauvinists by my stubborn and in
cessant efforts to bring Germany and
France closer together, and | am
therefore now entitled to state that at
the present moment the French gov
eminent desire peace and are laboring
for it's maintenance"
Great Britain declared war on Ger
many, Aug. 4, after Germany had in
vaded neutral Belgium. Britain had
given Germany three warnings July
so, 81, Aug. u that British opinion
would not stand for such an outrage
because her own national safety and
her honor as a sworn defender Of Bel
gian neutrality were at stake. The
British ultimatum turned upon this
point and nothing else; and Goschen's
conversation with Won Jagow indicates
that if Germany had agreed (Aug. A to
desist from attacking Belgium, Britain
would have refrained from her declara-
ton of war.
The desire to crush Germany COM
mercially had nothing to do with Brit
aims entering the war. If this had
been her aim, she would have put up
tariff wall, which would have been
a cheaper method OF self-protectlon
than war.
The Entente of Britain with France
Q904) and Russia (1907) was not
formed to crowd Germany out of the
sun. 1t was formed to remove causes
of friction between Britain and the
other powers, so as to make it lmpOs-
sible for Germany to induce either OF
them to join her in an attack On Brit
ain. 1t was Britain's answer to Ger
many's increase of her navy and
toasts to 1.-THE Day., but it did not
provide for an attack on Germany.
The British foreign minister, Sir r..
Grey, labored as zealously as the
French and Russian diplomats to pre-
vent the outbreak of the war. The
supreme proof of the innocence of the
purposes of the Triple Entente is
found in Grey's offer of July 81:
%. if Germany could get any reason
able proposal put forward which made
if clear that Germany and Austria
were striving to- preserve European
peace. and that Russia and France
would be unreasonable if they reject
ed it. if Russia and France would
not accept it His Majesty's govern
ment would have nothing more to 90
with the consequences"
France and Russia entered the war
because Germany was bound to nave
it so; Britain entered the war because
Germany treacherously invaded Bel

FRESHMEN AND SOPHS
IN TUG-OF-WAR TO-DAY
Annual Clash Is Scheduled
for This Afternoon.

The annual tug Of war between the
Freshman and Sophomore classes of
the State University will be held this
afternoon at 3 O'Clock. In accordance
with tradition, the affair will be held
at the slough above the Van Duran
bridge. The two classes chose teams
several days ago, and since that time
the men have been busy at practice
The Freshmen have the greater weight
but the second year men have the bet
ter side from which to pull, so that
the outcome of the contest is not GER
tain. Both teams will be forced by
student rulings to pull from standing
position, this order being instituted to
prevent the pull from lasting too great
a length OF time. Several years ago
the two teams pulled for over two
hours and darkness alone brought an
end to the contest.
| The ice in the slough he's been
cleared at the point where the con-
test will be held and the depth Of the
water ascertained. 1t is slightly over
four feet. The captains OF the teams
lare Harold Young for the Sophomore
class and John Driscoll for the Fresh
man. The public is invited to attend
the affair.
