launched the Palestine Restoration
Fund, which this year entered in its
second phase. The reconstructive work
Of the Zionist Commission embraces
the rehabilitation of the colonies, the
support of numerous schools, includ-

the support of the various administra-

I'm view of the splendid political,
diplomatic and practical achievements
Of the Zionist Organization of Ameri-
ca and its enormous responsibilities
for the coming year, in laying the
foundation for the Jewish National
Home, it is only natural that my res
toration contribution should go to it
and not to the Mizrachi, which from
its very anture is, and should be, con-
cerned with spiritual questions only.
"The accusation that the leaders of
the American Organization are lack

by the fact that the vast majority Of
Orthodox Zionists, among them many
prominent Orthodox Rabbis, are affil-
lated with the general Zionist Organ
ization from its very inception has
been living up to the Herzlian princi-
pie that the return to Zion must be
preceded by the return to Judaism

work in Palestine equal justice is met
ed out to Orthodox and Mizrachi in
stitutions by American representa-
tives, by men like Rabbi de Sofa Pool,
DR.. Harry Friendenwald and Mr. Lew
in Epstein, known as strictly ortho-
dox Jews. AS a matter of fact, the
Zionist Organization reverent to Jew

proposals to the Peace Conference
that the Sabbath and the Holidays be
recognized as legal days of rest.
at seems to me that upon proper
consideration it will be readily admit
ted that the Zionist Organization of
America and their leaders deserve
well of Israel, and the accusations
made against them are certainly I'M
just. They cannot be substantiated by
facts and can be used for no argu-
ments to be set up the separate spir-
itual party engaging in economic, po-
litical and financial enterprises, Gre
ating discord in Israel. 1t is self-evi-
dent that the duty of the Mizrachi is
to stay within the Zionist 0rganiza-

Organization their influence for spir-
itual Judaism, and cooperate with the
Zionist Organization in practical and
economic problems. Only by joining
the general Zionist Organization
which was the clear intention and pur-
pose of the Zionist Congress when it
recognized factions, and by pooling
their labors and contributions in one
centralized organization will the spir-

(By Wireless to Associated Press }

On Board the U. S. S. George Wash
ington, Sunday, June 29.-Several
thousand returning American soldiers
and a score of pretty French war
brides are on board the presidential
ship on its voyage to the United States.
A number of the soldiers who were
members of the guards at the Paris
White House and the Hotel de Crillon,
headquarters of the American dele
cation, were married during their So
journ in Paris.
The regulations provided no means
for the brides to accompany their
husbands aboard the George Wash
ington and for while it seemed that
they might be left behind. A fearful
joint dispatch from the brides to
President Wilson. however. led to the
making of arrangements for their ac-
commodation and they are one of the
happiest novelties of the voyage, which
SO far has been in perfect weather
and on a calm sea.
Farewell messages were received by
President Wilson from King George
of England, King Alfonso of Spain,
and the emperor of Japan. The one
from King George makes allusion to
the American and British people,
brothers in arms. who. will continue
ever in peace"

the federal grand jury, a resident of
Naples, Texas, stands accused of de-
frauding the United States out of 4
cents on the purchase of a railroad

The complaint alleges the defend

Slower, Texas. but instead of purchas-
ing one ticket for the entire distance,
bought one for 25 cents to a point be-
tween the two towns, got off and
bought another ticket for that station
to his destination for Is cents, thereby
escaping the payment of the war tax

Official Stopping Point on q. S.
Air Route Now.
Announcement Is Made by
Chief of Service.
MUST HAVE LANDING fell
Survey of Available Ground
Now Being Made.
Place in Aviation Route Books
Seems Assured.

Topeka is officially a stopping point
of the United States postal airplane
service, according to word received
here from the office of General Memo
her, chief of the army air service.
Along with towns like Kansas City,
Columbus, Ohio; Louisville, KY; st.
Louis and cities of like size, the CAPT.
tai of Kansas is given official recogni-
ton as a stopping point and postoffice
center for the United States aerial
mail.
The word announcing these things
was received here by Mayor H. J.
Corwine and the news was i'm
mediately transmitted to the Chamber
of Commerce committee, which has
been boosting for a landing field in
the city.
Must Have a Field.
All that now remains to be done
before the air service for Topeka is a
reality is the selection of a landing
field so situated that pilots and
crews of planes landing may have easy
access to machine and repair shops,
gas and oil filling stations, and to
transportation lines to the city. One
of the very especial requirements is
that the landing field be located on
hard surfaced road.
A survey of suitable fields near
the city is being made and the list
is to be forwarded to the inspector
of landing fields at Chicago who will
send a representative here to make
the choice. The choice made a hangar
will be sent here and will be erected
on the selected site.
1t Is thought to be a matter of q
few short weeks when the capital city
of Kansas will be represented on the
official air pilots map of the United
States as TOPEKA first class field
Induccment to Air Industry.
The establishment of the govern
ment postal air service landing field
here is expected to give Topeka an ad-
ditional argument to be used in offer
ing inducements to airplane factories
to avail themselves of the opportuni-
ties of the west as a. manufac cturinG
point. 1t is also certain that the es-
tablishment of the field here will cause
the landing of many tourist planes
which would otherwise pass by the
capital of Kansas and It's points OF
