Doctor Kennedy returned Friday
night from a trip to Camp Funston

the matter and to acQUaint himself
with the work that is being done there
Il is well known fact that the
army Y. NC. A forces are being de-
pleted to- a large extent by the dratp
and bv enlistment of the younger men
for more active service. 1t is also well
known that the association is trying to
get men above the draft age who are

HOODLUMS WRECK
SYNAGOG IN CLEVELAND

The Jewish inhabitants of Mt.
Pleasant, a suburb of Cleveland, are
in state of terror and excitement
because of number of Polish and
Bohemian hoodlums, who for the
past few weeks have terrorized the
whole neighborhood. Their last
atrocity is the wrecking of the Mt.
Pleasant Synagog, on the corner of
Union avenue and 10th street.
Fourteen windows were broken, the
electric connections were cut, and
a large part Of the ceiling was broken
down. The authorities of the syna-
cog have removed the Torah, be-
cause the hoodlums threatened to
burn the synagog.

The anti-Semitic Mayor of Vienna
Herr Weisskirchner, has opened
campaign in the Vienna press for
the Observation-Disclosures of the Cali
clan Jews who are settled in Vienna
in respect to the municipal elections.
While he argued in favor of giving
the vote to women, he urgently de-
manded that Jews who had not been
residents of the capital at least one
year before the war should be de-
prived of the vote even when they
satisfied the franchise conditions
provided by the law. The campaign
is obviously directed against the
numerous war refugees from Galicia
and Bukowina who settled in
Vienna.

in Holland, might wish to go to
Palestine. He himself contemplate
ed going to Palestine at the end of
the war. With regard to the ques-
ton of developing the resources of
Palestine, he stated everything de-
pended on the kind of government
which Palestine would have. If
there were to be a Jewish governor
who could appoint the higher Off
Gals, then the exploration and de-
velopment of the country's re-
sources could easily be organized
by an official department, leaving
the establishment of individual en-
terprise to private initiative. All
works of public utility should be
undertaken by the governing au-
thorities; that would prevent the
vices of modern capitalistic explora
ton. Mr.. Kann said he looked for
ward to a Palestine which would be
mainly an agricultural country, but
would, of course, develop the indus
tries connected with agriculture. In
course of time it could easily be-
come, by virtue Of its favorable
geographical position, the centre of
a great portion of the worlds trade.
