Der, and because we do not think
that less than seven will answer the
purpose. Of course the numerical
disparity between these districts is
at once apparent. Three fourths of
all the Zionists will probably be
found in the first district. But that
cannot be helped. The geographical
distribution is the paramount issue.
New York can no more control or
supervise Zionism in Minneapolis or
San Francisco, than San Francisco
can in New York. Each district or
federation must be absolutely indie
pendent, and the activities of all may
be stimulated, co-ordinated and even
guided in a manner by an annual

WHEREAS, the Independent Or

with the hopes and aspirations OF
the Jewish people, as expressed in
the Zionist movement, being con-
vinced that onl ly by the re-establish-

be liberated;
THEREFORE BE 1T RESOLV-
ED, that the Independent Order
Birth Abraham, true to its tradl-
tions, greets, with enthusiastic ap-
probation, the Declaration of the
British Government, that it views
with favor the establishment in Pal
estine Of national home for the
Jewish people, and will use It's best
endeavors to facilitate the achieve
ment of it's object; and further eX-
presses its qualification with the fact
that the British Government has
opened the way in Palestine to the
reconstruction work of the Zionist
Administrative Commission, which
is preparing the way for the reahza-
ton of Zionist hopes;
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the Independent Order Birth

support to the Zionist movement in
the gathering of the Palestine Res
toration Fund, which is to be the
agency of the Jewish people in its
endeavors to create in Palestine

Concerning A Recent Children's
Outing.

Editor American Jewish World:
Seventy-hve little children with
the enthusiasm and anticipation of
childhood, through the long dreary
winter weeks, yearned and hoped
that spring be here.
These little children had been
promised that in the spring time of
the year, they too would be given
chance to enjoy the gladstone joys
of spring, that an outing would be
given them SO they could jump and
frolic and play in the green all day.
The day long yearned for by these
youngsters finally dawned.
Seventy-fve little children were
given picnic, Sunday school pic
mic. To Glenwood Park they were
taken and there allowed to play for
a period no less than two hours,
and each child given the magnificent
bounty of an ice cream cone and a
honey sucker.
This is what is termed generally
"social and welfare work" This
was the extent of the magnificent
outing, probably the only one of
the year for good many of these
children. In "a number of instances
the youngsters were SO we'll provid-
ed for that the teachers, who receive
no remuneration for their work
were obliged to donate street car
fare for these children.
1t was rather pleasant and anus
ing to watch them for little while
at their games, but would have been
such nuisance to devote a whole
Sunday to them and serve them
luncheon and trail around with them
to show them sights. And why
bother about giving these young
sters the thrill of an auto ride for
once in their Lives? 1t is so incon-
venient to interfere with the pleas
ures of the friends of our social
workers and make ones self gen
eral nuisance Besides what glory
and distinction is there in driving
these youngsters about?
If social welfare work is under,
taken, why not let it be welfare
work in fact as we'll as in name?
Why give the semblance Of an out
ing when there is a real one coming
to the children? This is what makes
the alleged social work farce, to
be indulged in only when one is
bored or when one feels the need
of tonic of benevolence in the sys-
tenn. When will the day of true
service, involving some sacrifice,
dawn?
Yours truly.

THE REORGANIZATION OF
AMERICAN ZIONISTS.

cussion and settlement at the forth
coming convention of the Federation
of American Zionists to be held in
Pittsburg this month is the one of
the reorganization of the Zionist
forces in this land. That the pres
ent organization of one federation
of all societies with headquarters in
New York is not satisfactory, goes
without saying Imagine few men
in New York supervising, directing,
managing Zionistic activities in the
remotest parts of the country, in
Portland, Ore, San Francisco, and
New Orleans. Under such manage
ment, and under such system of
government, the wonder is not that
Zion;sm has grown and progressed
in the manner it has, but that there
is any Zionist life and activity at
all outside of New York city.
True, some of the middle-western
states are united in a sub-federation
with headquarters in Chicago, a sur
vival of the former Knights of Zion.
But the peculiar relation of this sub
federation to the Federation means
for it's constituent societies outside
of Chicago only confusion, neglect,
inactivity and apathy. This is no
criticism of the Chicago office 1t,
too, is the victim Of peculiar ar
rangement. 1t should have an alb
so1ute1y free hand in its own dis
trict. 1t should be entirely indie
pendent of the Federation. 1t should
be in full control of it's own Zionist
work and affairs.
That gives us a clue to the man
ner of reorganization. Instead of
one federation there is room in this
country for at least seven federatlons
or district organizations. The guild
ing principle must be geographical.
There should be:
|. A New York-New England
district.

General Steiner Orders
To Confer Sunday

The thirty-eisht captains who work
ed with General Steiner on the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive are advised to meet
Sunday afternoon at 8 O'Clock at the
Commercial club. Each of the cap
tains have been mailed the following
letter:
'sWe have made our initial advance.
on this 4th Liberty Loan campaign
and / regret to admit that we have
been unsuccessful and have been driven
back into our trenches, so to speak, by
the Generals of our enemies, to-wit:
General Apathy, General Indifference
General Selfishness, etc.
Our ranks were thin in spots at the
beginnSng of the advance, and the
result was that such sectors were un-
able to hold their own with others
who were more fully manned.
s'We must reorganize our forces,
drill them right, equip them, and send
them over the top on another charge,
and this time it viii be to Victory.
"We will insure victory by being
thoroughly prepared and ready to go
over the top and forward to our goal,
before we undertake to do so. We are
all aware, and have been from the be-
ginning, that we were making a pre-
mature start on the recent drive, but
the same was forced upon US by the
State Committee and we had no choice
in the matter.
81 am asking all of you Captains
to meet with me on Sunday, the 29th,
at 8 p m. at the Commercial club aud
itorium, for the purpose of enabling
me to explain to you what | have in
mind and to get your ideas and as

ent so that l may get true measure

from my Captains. You will apprecia-
te that the responsibility of raising
Salem's quota rests equally with you

as it does with me. It is as much your
duty to do your part as it is mine to
do my part, as you no doubt realize,

Commanding General VIII Re
ceive Delegates But VIII
Not Stop Fighting
By John De Gandt

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Sept. 2S.-High government
circles in Paris expressed no surprise
today at the Bulgarian bid for peace.
To the United Press came the informa-
tion that the request for an armistice
came from these facts:
''Bulgaria is tired of her seven years
of fighting. There is much discomfort
against her allies.
The parley might have chance fol-
success if Bulgaria entirely trusts the
allies.
"There is little likelihood that the
entente will handle the situation with
bad feeling toward the Bulgarian peo-
pie themselves, but Bulgaria must re-
nounce her exaggerated ambitions.
"Peace is only possible in accord
ance with the already known allied con
ditions.
Bulgaria feared that Turkey would
beat her in this step and therefore act
ed quickly in her swn interests.
"There is every reason to believe
that Turkey is tempted to make a sim.
liar offensive"
An armistice to the hard pressed
Bulgarian armies fleeing before the al
lied forces IN Macedonia has been re-
fused by General D'Esperey, who
commands the French forces in the Bal
kans, but he has agreed to meet some
representatives of Bulgaria if the flag
of truce and the request for an ar
mistice are carried to the British lines.
General D'Esperey has informed the
French government of the request as
follows:
"Tonight a Bulgarian officer pre-
sented himself upon behalf of General
Tomodow, who says he is commander
of the Bulgarian armies, proposing an
armistice for 48 hours to allow the ar
rival of two accredited delegates OF
the Bulgarian government, viz the fl
nance minister, Liaptcheffet, and Gen
eral Loukoff, commanding the second
