VALID AND OTHERS ON
PROSPECTS OF JEW ISL
HOMELAND.

In anticipation of Great Britain
becoming it's mandatory for the
purpose of facilitating the estab-
lishment there of the national Jew
ish Homeland, Palestine will be the
main point around which will CEN
ter the. chief interest of the dele
gates to the Convention. The dele
gates are looking around with espe-
cially eager interest to the report
which they expect will be: rendered
by the honorary president of the
organization, U. S. Supreme Court
Justice Louis D. Brandeis. Cabled
reports quote Mr.. Brandeis as hav-
ing been highly enthused by his
observations. On his way back
from Palestine Mr.. Brandeis
stopped over at Paris where he con-
ferred with members of the Peace
Conference. One result of this con-
ference was an instruction from the
Peace Conference to the British
military administration to bear con-
stantly in mind that Palestine is
being held for the specific purpose
of establishing the Jewish Home
land there. Should Mr. Brandeis
find it incompatible with his judi
cial position to make a public re-
port, his findings will be related to
the Convention by Prof. Felix

Justice Brandeis to Attend
Zionist Convention
Proceeds Chicago upon His Return from Palestine

Justice Louis D. Brandeis, hon
orary president of the Zionist Or
ganization Of America, who has
made a trip throughout Palestine
will arrive in New York on the Rot
terdam on Monday, September 9th.
After spending a few days in New
York, he will proceed to Chicago
where the END Annual Convention
of the Zionist Organization of
America will open on September
18th.
Due to the large amount Of bust
ness which is to come before the
conve ion, the Arrangements
Committee has omitted all spec
tacular features which usually form
part of conventions. The only spe-
cial features will be the opening of
the Convention on Sunday by the
ensemble Zimro, composed of we'll
known artists from abroad who will
play Hebrew music. On Saturday
night, the local Chicago Commit
tee will entertain the delegates at
a reception and ball to be held at
the First Regiment Armory. The
primary business of the convention
will be to prepare for the day which
the Zionists believe is coming soon,
when the mandate for Palestine will
be awarded to Great Britain, and
the way opened for the actual es-
tab1ishment of the National Jewish
Homeland there. A program of
constructive work in Palestine must
be mapped out, plans must be laid
for the regulation of the vast mi
grafton which will ensue as soon
as the way is open, and the means
for financing the colossal undertake

ing just be DEVISED But, aside
from this major feature of the con-
vention's task, there are other prob
lens confronting it. The Interna-
tional organization, disrupted by
the war, must be helped to func-
ton again and in keeping with the
new situation. The American or
ganization, which entered upon it's
present character only last year
must be strengthened, new propa-
ganda plans laid out, and it's rela-
tons with collateral bodies adjust
ed. Then there is the work of
"Hadassah" the women's branch of
the organization, which during the
past year devoted itself mainly to
the task of clothing the population
of Palestine and maintaining the
American Zionist Medical Unit in
Palestine that formed the nucleus
of public health department for
the country, to be considered, and
possibly expanded. Besides these
matters, the work of the Depart
ment of Education, which has es-
tablished courses and classes in
Jewish history, Palestine geog-
raphy, Zionist philosophy, and He
brew language and literature will
be given serious consideration, with
a possible revision of it's plans to
meet the new situation. Under this
heading will come UP the work of
Young Judea, the Junior branch of
the organization. Finally, on
Thursday, officers for the ensuing
year will be elected.

amount of business and expedite

Ar1AZE FRENCH CHEFS

Great dishes of beet pickle, potato
salad, sardines, coleslaw and other rel.
ishes, served as a preliminary to the
conventional French dinner, disappear
so rapidly that it has been necessary
to employ many additional cooks to
prepare delicacles of this sort. Amer
leans help themselves so freely to this
initial course that they frequently have
little appetite for the soup, fish and
other dishes which follow.
AS the hotel kitchen can draw on
army supplies FOR it's food, the Amer
leans have many deiicacies not avail
able generally in Paris cafes. Ices ice
cream and pastry Faade with real sugar
are offered to thss peace delegation. In
most Paris hotels and cafes saccharina
Is used for such purposes, and even for
sweetening coffee. The hotel where tho
Americans stay also has an abundance
of white flour and genuine white bread
Elsewhere In Paris the bread is dark
and even pastry, when available Is
made from brown -four.
