He saw and then visualized great bat

AS JEWS-AND NOTHING
ELSE.
BY Major Ormsby-G Gore, Liaison
Member of the Zionist Com
mission in Palestine.

You have asked me, as political
officer in charge of the Zionist Com
mission which has been sent out to
Palestine by His Majesty's Govern
ment to attend this historic gather
ing and to say few words of good
wishes to you, the representatives
of all Jewry in the Occupied Part OF
Palestine, on behalf of my Govern
ment. My Government-the Brit
ish Government said one or
two important things during this
war concerning Palestine.
My Government has said that; if
England and her Allies win this war,
the future Government of Palestine
shall not be Turkish, because in this
war England and her Allies are
fighting not for the. extension of any
Empire, nor for the acquisition Of
further power or further territory;
but they are fighting for an ideal
shared by all our Allies, namely, that
countries shall be governed in the
interests and according to the
wishes and the aspirations of the
inhabitants of these countries. We

WELFARE BOARD ORGANIZ-
> ING NEW YORK CITY.

The Jewish Welfare Board is or
ganizing New York City block by
block to care for the dependents of its
men in uniform.
When the drafted man marches
away, the folks that are left behind re-
quire some looking after. The Home
Service Division of the Red Cross, the
War Camp Community Service, Y.
M. C. A. and Y w. C. A., and other
welfare agencies have cared for those
cases that have been brought to their
notice The New York City Branch
of the Jewish Welfare Board, of
which, former Ambassador Abram I.
Elkus is chairman, has plan that will
make sure that no one is left out.
Using the local draft board as the
unit of organization, the Jewish Wei
fare Board plans to form committees
on each block. The committees will
be chiefly composed of men in de-
ferred classification, upon whom will
fall the burden of caring for the fam
lilies of those who are indicted into
the service.
The block committee will ascertain
from the draft board the names and
addresses of all men subject to call.
AS far as possible an effort will be
made to determine the home condi-
tons, and the need for future assist

between ideals. Be patient with the
British Government, who wish you
we'll. Do not expect great deal
from them, but expect great deal
from yourselves. At present we are
bound to carry on the Turkish sys-
tenn of law, taxation and govern
ment. We are bound to do this by
international law, and England has
always tried to respect this interna-
tional law. England set it's seal to
the Hague Convention, which said
that when an advance was made into
enemy country, the administration
should be military and not political,
and that such military administra-
ton should make no attempt to alter
or change the institutions of the oc
cupied country; it is not our wish
that this is so, but it is so by the
rule of law, and we shall do our best
to respect this law no matter who
else breaks it.
It is difficult for military adj
ministration to make radical changes
or to do much to help you and others
in the country. Nevertheless some
great things have been done already,
the British Government has given
opportunity to the young men to
Join the Battalion of Jews from
other countries to liberate this coun-
try. This splendid response of your
young men will have great moral
value when history comes to be
written. Every one of these fine and
splendid recruits now enrolled and
who are going to the battalions,
which have come from England and
America, will go as missionaries of
Jewish nationalism in Palestine, so
that these men will stay in Palestine
and help to develop it on just and
right lines.
The British Government has done
something more Of great service to
you. The Government has sent out
to Palestine the Zionist Commits
sion. 1t has sent out DR.. Weizmann;
that is, the British Government has
sent out a man in whom it has con-
fdence to help the Jews in Palestine
in their greatest hour Of need. What
this help has meant to you L need
not go into detail. The Zionist
Commission speaks for itself. DR..
Weizmann came here as stranger

land and the people OF Falestlne,
that such rule ought to disappear in
the interests of Palestine and OF civ
ilization. The Turkish rule in Pal
estine was an alien rule, and was not
in the best interests of any Of the in
habitants of Palestine, and more
over such rule crippled the free
development, economic and political,
of this country.
My Government has said that it
wishes to see the people Of Palestine
among others freed from the rule Of
the Turks; but it has as yet said
nothing as to what government
should take it's place-that is mat
ter for the Peace Conference. But
Mr.. Balfour has made an historic
declaration with regard to the Zion
lists; that he wishes to see created
and built up in Palestine a National
Home for the Jewish people.
What do we understand by this?
We mean that those Jews who vol
UNFAIRLY come to live in Palestine
should live in Palestine as Jewish
Nationalist, i. e., that they should
be regarded as Jews and nothing
else, and that they should be abso-
lutely free to develop Hebrew edu-
cation, to develop the country and
live their own life in their own
way in Palestine, freely but only
submitting equally with all others
to the laws of the land.

GREAT SPORT SCRIBE
ON PERSHTNGS STAFF

Atlanta, Ga. October 11-Although
the State Board of Health has author
ity to require each individual case of
Spanish influenza or of any other
epidemic, reported. and order to this
effect has not yet been issued. Whe-
Their such an order will be issued will
depend upon the progress of the cpl
demic.
Thus far, however, is seems the
Spanish influenza has really not
reached what might be called the
epidemic stage, although it is rapidly
increasing. The doctors in thickly
populated communities are keeping
the State Board posted in a general
way as to the situation in their To-
calities. Most of these cases are con-
fined to the populous centers.
With so much travel on the trains
however, and with soldiers going
back and forth on furloughs, and
automobiles running from town to
town every day, there is every rea-
son to expect that the influenza will
gradually spreed all over the state.

THESE AMERICANS WENT
TO FIGHT WITH PASSES

Pairs, Sept. S0.-General Mangin's
army was engaged in the most ter
rifle battle of the war; for three days
no progress could be made against
the desperate resistance of the Prus-
sian Guards and Bavariean shock
troops. In the vicinity of Coucy-le-
Chateau and on the edges of the
Saint Gobain forest the battle ragged.
German counterIattacks had driven
back the attacking Franco-American
army at various points.
A division of the American army
after three weeks of Stubborn fighting
had just been relieved and rested in
comparative safety behind the Ailette
River. Two hundred of the American
soldiers proudly exhibited passes en-
titling them to ten days leave in
Paris and otherwhere to the rear.
At four in the morning the alert
was sounded A violent German coun-
ter attack had just been launched
threatening the allied positions north
of the Ailette. The division was re-
turn to the firing line at once.
AS they mustered out heavy with
sleep, the officers told the boys that
those in possession of passes for the
rear might remain behind. They could
take advantage of the brief furlough
Not one man remained behind.
