A. co1ors, gave the fans the surprise of the evening when he outboxed Stuart Candy, who apparently outweighed him about 15 pounds The Acipco man was the az gressor from start to finish and fought faster than a regular buzz-saw. In the first and second rounds he rushed Gam dy, swinging fast and furious and landing several short jabs to the neck and body The third was about even with Burlington landing on Gandy's jaw and taking lefts to the stomach in return. The fourth was also an even break. both men somewhat wind ed after the fast pace that Barring ton had set Referee Landgrebe an- nounced the fight a draw.

PETER HAssENFELDT
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1918-08-16

Two of the greatest Jewish lawyers
in America, Max Pam and Bernard
Flexner, both of Chicago, have
formally joined the Zionist Movement
and have issued formal statements in
which they set down the serious rea
sons which have impelled them to take
this step.
In the case of both of these gentle
men, their acceptance of the Basic
Program is perhaps the most radical
step in their lives because up to that
time they belonged, consciously, to the
assimilationist or indifferentist camps
Of Jewry.
Mr.. Max Pam, who is brother of
Judge Hugo Pam, writes:
Permit me to convey to your or
ganization my expression of sincere
sympathy with Zionistic thought and
movement. Permit me to say fur-
Their, that my action in this regard is
the result of mature reflection and
that a serious study of the subject
has convinced me, it will ultimately
convince most of the earnest, thought
full men. That if the right of national
self-deternination is to give recognl-
ton to all established races, then the
Jews who, all efforts and protestatlons
to the contrary Notwithstanding, are
regarded and treated as a distinct race
in the land of their birth, their abode
and their adoption should seek, and,
with the assistance of the Great Ma
tons. secure land and nationality OF
equal dignity with other peoples, ana
under the guidance of the Great De-
mocracies of the world make and es-
tablish themselves as one amongst the
family of nations. | am convinced
too that given a national standing,
Jews under wise and courageous lead
ership and lofty craftsmanship, Will
zealously safeguard this new blrtn-
right and with the support OF their
mighty friends will win a new and
important place and become potent
force in the affairs and the activities
of peoples and nations"

More Conspicuous Converts to Ziionism

Flexner, and was member of the
Red Cross Commission to Rumania
This work, brought him in contact
with European Jewish conditions and
what he saw there and what he learned
there of the aspirations of the great
Jewish masses, was set down in let
ter, which is addressed to Judge Mack,
the recently elected President of the
Zionist Organization of America. His
letter follows:
During the last few months, as I
have said to you, | have been in con-
siderable ferment about the Zionist
Movement and have examined with
some care my attitude toward it.
up to the time I went to Rumania
my position was mainly ore of indif-
ference My experience there, how
ever, changed this. After what | saw
there and likewise heard from the Jews
to whom | spoke, an attitude of indif-
ference to the movement was no
longer possible.
81 went to Rumania as Red
Cross Commissioner under the broad
est charter possible The meagre re-
ports of the suffering of the Ruman-
ians that had come to this country
were we'll within the conditions we
found. Jews and non Jews alike were
in utter restitution. There was this
difference however; to the want of
the Jew there was added the suffering
due to his status under the Rumanian
constitution and laws, and the nation
wide anti-sernitism. | had the rare
opportunity of witnessing the hearten-
ing effect of the mission upon the
whole people. Jew and non-Jew were
deeply grateful for the help and en-
couragement we brought. But as |
gathered from conversations, the
Rumanian Jew longed, and rightly so,
for something more than we had to Of
fer. | soon learned that these ews
were Zionists, and that it was through
the aims of this movement that many
of them hoped to escape from the IN
tolerable conditions under which they
were being compelled to live.

and explicit announcement of Great
Britain. The question of Palestine
and the Jews future there became at
once a matter of practical world poll

Wilson's declaration regarding the OPP

Having regard for the opportunity
made possible by the Act of Great
Britain, the matter crystallized in my
mind in, this form: Should a Jew,
who has no intention of becoming a
citizen of that Commonwealth aid
those Jews who do intend to be among
those to realize this age-long ideal.
