'zIONISTS GATHER
| IN CHICAGO TO
CELEBRATE JUBILEE
Forty Thousand Rise to Feet
and Cheer Wilson and
Justice Brandeis of the
| Supreme Court

Chicago, September 14.-Zionists
gathered here in jubilee, the second
of the Organization In America to
celebrate the beginning of Jewish
nationalism based ON Jewish COM
monyealth. The spirit of the gath
erins was as though they had come
together actually to construct with
their own hands the institutions of
Palestine as they have conceived
them.
During the opening session the 49,
900 persons attending sprang to their
feet to pay tribute to induviduals-the
President of the United States and
Justice Louis ID. Brandeis of the SUI
preme court The cheering was pro-
longed.
The demonstrations occurred during
the address of Judge Julian W. Mack
of the United States circuit court,
who is president of the Zionists organ
cation, and who was elected chairman
of the convention with DR.. Stephen s,
Wise and Louis Lipsky. both of New
York. vice ehairmen
Judge Mack characterized President
Wilson as the champion of humanity"
He also spoke of Arthur Balfour. the
British foreign minister, who has prom
Used the Jews an autonomous common
wealth for Palestine. and of Justice
Brandeis, whom he termed "the 81
lent leader" of the Zionists of the
world.
The ovation to Justice Brandeis was
that to a native son. and during its
progress the audience sang "Hatik-
voh" (Our Hope, the Zionist national
hymn, while women wept and men
held babes on their shoulders.
"The nationalizing of the Jewish
people said Judge Mack, docs no.
mean the denationalizing of the Amer
lean Jew, the English Jew or the Jew
of any other nationality. There can be
no divided allegiance and the Jew in
any country will remain a good citizen
of his nation. For there is no compui-
sion upon the Jews to return to Pales-
tine. Only those who will go who
wish to GO"
The convention will remain IN session
three more days. eliminating Wedne0
day night in a public meeting at which
Justice Brandeis will be the chief
speaker.
