GREETING ON THE BRITISH
DECLARATION.

Among the many greetings to the
Zionists on the occasion of the first
anniversary of the British Dec1ara-
ton, the London Zionist Review
publishes the following:
"In all the weller of slaughter
and destruction wrought by this war,
the Zionist movement stands out as
a great effort in practical idealism.
It's success holds a promise, not only
for the Jewish people, but for world
civilization itself. May it continue
to prosper and increase in favor
with God and man."
The Rt. Hon. Lord Robert Cecil,
K. c., M. B. assistant Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs).
"The history of Palestine covers
thousands of years, full of vicis-
STUDIES. But the twelve months
which have just elapsed are likely
to be as momentous as any in all
that long story. They began with
a political declaration by the British
Government, which has been en-
dorsed by the Allied Powers, has
been welcomed with enthusiasm
and gratitude by the vast majority
of Jews throughout the world and
has opened the prospect for the
ancient land of redemption from dis
tress and oppression, and of the
growth once more on it's soil of an
inspiring and distinctive civiliza-
ton. They end with sweeping
military victory which makes the
realization of the promise Of the
declaration, not only possible, but
certain. In the interval, the Zion
ist Commission, by it's activities on
the spot, successful as they have
been through the energy and tact
with which they have been directed,
has begun the solution of many OF
the difficulties which present them
selves, and which one by one will
be surmounted.
"John Bright wrote in 1848, Lib
erty is on the march, and this year
promises to be a great year in
European history. Seventy years
later, we may re-echo his words, but
apply the promise to the history, not
only of Europe, but of Palestine as
we'll, and indeed, of the whole
world

M'Adoo Thinks
Hoover Food
Cry too Strong

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Direc-
tor Gen. McAdoo Friday gave assur-
ance that so far as transportation
is concerned there is not danger of
suffering from a serious food short
age in the eastern part of the cOun-
try, this was prompted by the
warning given Thursday night by
Food Admir-. Hoover that I'M
less grain and meat movement is
greatly increased in the next 90 days
the country is threatened with an
acute shortage Of food, and the
program of food shipments TO the
allies Will fail. In a letter TO Mr.
Hoover, the director general declar-
ed that if the food administrator
Will give definite information on the
location of stocks of supplies in
tended for the allies, the railroads
Will move them promptly to sea-
board. simultaneously the railroad
administration gave out figures
showing that the movement of grain
to primary markets in the west
within the last 10 days was far
greater than in previous years.
Although declaring their desire to
avoid a controversy with the food
administration. officials of the rail-
road directorate Friday did not con-
ceal their belief that Mr.. HoOver's
statement was not borne out by
facts shown in their reports. Mem
bers Of Mr.. McAdoo's staff assumed
the attitude that Mr.. Hoover had
dealt in generalities, not supported
/ by figures or other evidence showing
such a pessimistic outlook on future
food conditions.
Guarantees Transportation.
Writing TO Mr.. Hoover, Mr.. Nc
Adoo said:
You are, as 1 understand it, the
sole purchaser in this country Of
food supplies for the allied govern
ments You must therefore, know
the location of the food supplies
which you from time to time pur-
chase and the ports in this country
. to which you desire such supplies
shipped.
IF you will notify me from time
to time of the location of the spe-
cific supplies and the port or ports
in the United States to which you
wish to have such supplies trans
ported l will guarantee the neces-
sary transportation subject alone to
interruptions from billiards. and
floods
Il wish to reassure the country
by saying that so far as transporta-
ton is concerned, there is no dan
ger Of suffering from a serious food
shortage in the eastern part of the
country"
The food administration upon re-
ceipt Of the letter issued this state
ment.
while Mr.. Hoover is out of town,
food administration officials consid-
er Mr.. McAdoO's statement very re-
assuring since it indicates that
further cars Will be furnished TO
western terminals and that the
shortage from these western termin-
ais TO eastern territory now viii be
overcome. AS the railway director
ate are evidently alive 10 the situa
ton they will no doubt take all nee
essary steps"
4 railroad administration state
ment without referring to Mr. Hoov-
er's declaration that the domestic
and allied food situation can be sOlv-
ed only by loading 100000 bushels
of grain a day for the next 60 days,
explained that already 5000. 900
, bushels of grain are being loaded
daily and even better loading is in
prospect.

 The title of the play. taken from Americas most famous war song by George C. Conan, is alone significant Of it's excellence. Before granting per mission to use this title Conan per sonally reviewed the film play, and those who know Cohan will realize that unless the picture was of unusual excellence he would not have con- sented to the use of the title of his biggest song hit.
