GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TRACED
DOWN SENSATIONAL REPORTS
William Fox was Engaged In Making
Ph0t0drama OF Les MiScrah!eS.

Government officials have at last
traced down the origin Of the SEN
Sati0nal reports that the famous Sew
enty-frst Regiment Of New York had
been sent "Over There" last August
when as matter Of fact it was still in
the United States.
The rumor was a most persistent
one and many newspapers and naga-
zines actually printed pictures of mem
hers Of this regiment taken in Paris
It all happened in this way;
William Fox, the motion picture pro-
ducer, was engaged in making photo
drama Of Victor Hugo's greatest work,
Les Misorahles, with William Farnum
playing the part Of the immortal Jean
YaIiean."
a section Of Victor Hugo's Paris
was built somewhere in New .Jer-
scy,' and to show tho troops fighting
m the streets Of Paris against the
rcvo'u'!onists. o battalion or two OF
the Sevcnty-first Regiment was used.
"Htic 'uc SOlulefS were waiting TO

bers OF the Seventy first quickly real
Izcd the foreign look and sent coDics
TO friends and swecthcarts.
The swecthcarts and friends sent
these to magazines and newspapers
as proof positive that the Scverty-frst
was actually in Paris and in this way
the rumor started.

FOOD WASHERS TO BE SUED.

Chicago, Dec. 23-Warning has been issued by Federal authorities that all who waste or hoard food will be prosecuted. This action was taken following reports to the Food Admin istration that commission men were permitting carloads of vegetables and perishable foodstuffs to stand on the tracks unIoaded until the contents of the cars had decayed. This resulted in available supplies being reduced, making possible the retention Of high prices.
 Frederick Dickinson, Assistant Uni ted States Attorney, has issued a warm ing to all commission men and others who deal in perishable food products that he intends to receive daily re- ports of the time cars loaded with per ishab1e articles are held on the tracks and to enforce the law wherever evil dence of wilful waste is found.

PLAN OF REORGANIZING
AMERICAN ZIONISTS.

In addition to considering the flu
ture of Palestine, the convention
will grapple with the problem of re-
casting the form of the movement
in this country. The society form,
which was sufficient, during the
period of agitation and propaganda
is felt to be inadequate in the face
of realization. 1t is expected that
the society scheme will be abolished,
and instead, the organization will be
recast on lines resembling the great
American political parties, with
National Committee, State, City and
District organizations, which will
make it easy for every Jew favoring
the establishment of the Jewish
State to become a member of the
movement, with a vote on every i'm
portant question.

British Airplane to Greet Zionist Convention
1000 Delegates Decide Government of Judaea.

A British airplane, leaving New
York and flying over New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, will arrive in
Pittsburgh, on June 23rd, in time to
participate in the huge parade which
will be one of the spectacular fea-
lures of the 21st convention Of the
Zionist Organization of America,
whose formal opening is slated for
that day. Dispatched by the Brit
ish Military Mission in America, and
with the approval of the govern
ment, it will be the visual symbol
of Great Britain's whole-hearted APP
proval and cooperation with the
Zionists in their purpose to estab-
lish in Palestine national Jewish
homeland. Bearing the colors of
all the Allies, and chiefly those of
France, Italy, Servia and Greece,
which have joined with Great Brit
ain in officially endorsing Zionism,
it will float the flag of America,
which, without making an official
declaration, has in many ways mani
tested it's sympathy with Jewish Pal
estine. But it's most prominent
decoration will be the Jewish flag,
the six-cornered Star of David. All
along the line of it's flight, and es-
pecially along the line of march, it
will carry on a continuous lombard
ment with tons of Zionist "propa
ganda" literature.
The Pittsburgh convention, which
will be visited by the Earl of Read
ing, British ambassador to the
United States, will not only be the
largest, but also the most impor-
tant gathering of Zionists ever held.
Reports ALREADY received indicate
the assured presence of 700 dele
gates, and it is anticipated at the
New York headquarters, that when
the gave1 falls on Sunday afternoon,
in the Soldiers and Sailors Memo
rial Hall, the roll call will be an
swered by over 1000 representa-
tives of the Zionist societies from
every part of the United States.
Basic Principles of Restoration to
be Discussed.
The convention will last an en-
tire week, and Shenley Hotel has
been practically taken over by the
Zionist Organization for the accom-
