GREATEST JEWISH CONVENTION

The Eyes Of All Jewry, on Pitts
burg, Where Zionists Will
Meet Beginning June 23rd,
to Plan Jewish National
Homeland in Pal
estine.
The tyfirst convention of the
Zionist Organization of America
which will open in Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Hall, Pittsburg, on
June 23rd, for deliberations lasting
until the following Thursday evening,
will be history-rnaking gathering.
The purpose of this convention is to
outline plans for the development of
the national Jewish homeland in
Palestine, made possible by the Bri-
fish, French, Italian and Greek dec
larations in favor of the project.
The opposition to Zionism has dis
appeared almost in its entirety. Every
class of the Jewish people, in every
land, are fast approaching unanimity
on the subject. The extreme ortho-
dox, the radical reform religious wings
are drawing closer together. The
proletariat and the bourgeoisie, among
the Jews, stand on one platform so
far as Palestine is concerned. With
IT. the past month, the great Jewish
labor unions, with but few exceptions,
following the lead of the Socialist In
ternational, the British Labor Party
and the American Federation OF
Labor have adopted resolutions favor
ing the establishment of the Jewish
Homeland. The great Jewish frater-
nal Orders, one after another, have
all placed themselves on favorable
record, some of them enrolling as
body ir, the Zionist Organization. A
= vigorous campaign, just terminated,
has in addition to the $4,000 regular
members of the Zionist societies in
the United States, and the $4,000
members of the Independent Order
Brith-Sho1om, enrolled 10000 party
tax paying members Of the Zionist
Organization of America.
The Monday evening session will be
opened by an address by DR.. Stephen
S. Wise, Chairman Of the Provisional
Zionist Committee. Mr. Jacob de
Haas, Secretary of the. same commit
tee, will present the. Palestine program
as a. whole. Prof. Felix Frankfurter,

lowing reply.
II am authorized by the President
with the reports that had already
to state that the following will be
the reply Of this government to the
Austro-Hungarian note proposing an
unofficial conference of belllgerents
"The Government Of the United
States feels thatthcro Is only one re-
ply which Il can make to the sugges-
ton Of the Imperial Austro-llun
garlan Government. It has repeated
ly and with entire candor stated the
terms upon which the United States
would consider peace and can and
will entertain no proposal for a con
ference upon matter concornlnr
which II has made lts position and
purpose so plain"
Mr. Balfour Of England says the
proposal Is not genuine It Is con
sldcrcd German scheme to give Lu-
dendorff time to re-arrange his forces
and try To re.ostablIsh the morale
of his soldiers and the German peo-
