This apparently was the republican

President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor to win the labor
vote for Governor Cox.
As some of the leaders now outline
their estimate of the labor situation
to Harding, labor is not so dissatis-

is alarmed over what may come.

SEVENTH ANNUAL FLAG DAY
JEWISH NATIONAL FUND.

The historic San Reno decision has
placed enormous tasks before US. The
foundations for the reconstruction of
Jewish Palestine must be laid now.
The soil is the basis Of all national
colonization. The Jewish National
Fund was founded ir order to acquire
soil in Palestine as the inalienable
property of the Jewish people, and
thereby to assure forever the national
character of the Jewish settlement.
The permanence of the Jewish settle
ment is only guaranteed when the
Jewish nation has become attached to
the soil-when it obtains the fruits of
the soil by the work of its own hands.
The soil of Palestine must be free for
every one among US who will till it
himself. But to create working jew
ish peasantry, it is absolutely neces-
sary that the Jewish masses with little
or no capital be settled there. These
masses can only be domiciled with the
aid of national land fund. By means
of hereditary lease, settlers on Nation
al fund land will be relieved of the ne
cessity Of purchasing ground, and yet
the fruits of their labor will be pre-
served for them and their descend
ants.
Jews of all classes have already be-
come firmly convinced Of the import
ance Of the Jewish National Fund, but
to carry out the enormous tasks which
will fall to the Jewish National Fund,
in the future Jewish Palestine, sums
far greater than those given today
are required: Hundreds and hundreds
of millions are needed.
We know that our sorely afflicted
people comprehends the historic great
ness of this moment in its unparalleled
significance. We appeal, therefore, to
all who grasp the great possibilities
which lie in the execution Of the Ma
tional Fund idea. We call upon them
to make the Jewish National Fund
powerful instrument Of the Jewish re-
settlement Of Palestine.
We appeal to the Jewish masses
who have hitherto seded to the Jew

INCREASE RECRUITING
PLAN TO Be PUSHED
ALTHOUGH LIMIT DETERMINED
IN APPROPRIATION BILL
MAY NOT BE EXCEEDED.
The Campaign to Obtain an Addition
al 100000 Recruits Will Be Pressed
With All Possible Vigor, Says Sec
rotary of War Department.

WaShington.-Secre Newton -.
Baker stated that the War Depart
ment was prepared to make an issue
with the Republican Congress over its
right to increase the army to 2oO,OoO
officers and men, although provision is
made for but 10000 men in the army
appropriation bill. The campaign to
obtain an additional 100000 recruits,
he said, would be pressed with all pos
sibIe vigor. 1t is said that 1t will
cause a deficit of $160,000,00O year in
the appropriation, and Congressional
inquiry ia said to be inevitable. Sec
rotary Baker said:
"By the appropriation act the Con-
gress determined the 100000 maximum
for the army. That was equivalent to
an agreement that the War Depart
ment should go ahead and recruit an
army Of that size, if possible. But
didn't the fact that Congress apprO-
priated for but 175,00O constitute a
limitation below the authorized maxi
mum?" he was asked.
mot at ALL" he replied. "Their ap-
preparation for 175,OO0 merely repre-
scented their judgment upon the num-
Der of men that we would be able to
recruit during the fiscal year"
AS to the significance of adding
100000 men to the army at this time,
it has no significance, he said, as the
War Department merely was trying to
recruit the army up to the maximum
size.
Republican members of Congress
take another view IF the War De-
partment can go ahead and recruit
more than the $4,000 men for whom
provision was made" said Representa-
tive G. S. Slemp, of Virginia, Il should
like to know the purpose of Congress
in making any appropriation at all.
The appropriation was limited because
Congress believed that an army of
| 175,OOO was sufficient.
1.-THE increase alone is greater than
our standing army before the war. Is
1t a step of the Administrations plan
to enter the League of Nations, or is
a war brewing Of which the public

it's share of the carrying business of
the ocean trade of the world was made
by Admiral Benson, chairman of the
United States Shipping Board. The
announcement was made in fighting
form, and carried defiance both to the
japanese and to the British. Admiral
Benson especially denied that in the
recent misunderstanding
agreement the United States is join
ing in a compact with Germany in
trade war against Great Britain. The
Admiral's statement is especially frank
and charges the existence of British
propaganda in this country to cause

PLAN Spread
OF RED revolt
ABOUT TO LAUNCH AGITATION
TO COVER CENTRAL
EUROPE.
Expect to Spread the Revolution to
Czecho- SIovakia, Roumania, Hun
gary and Then Into Germany and
Even Further West.

Paris.-SOviet Russia is preparing to
foment revolution in Central Europe,
scheduled to take place in October.
Lincoln Steffens, chief propaganda
agent of the Soviet Government, has
arrived in Vienna, accompanied by
four other Soviet COmmissaries. They
have been commissioned to open head
quarters in the Austrian capital, from
which all propaganda of the revolu-
tiorists will be sent, and which ulti-
mately will become the headquarters
of the revolution itself.
These reports are brought back to
Paris from Vienna by Americans, who
say that Steffens is making no secret
of the fact that Austria is expected to
turn communist.
When this is accomplished, he is
quoted as having said, the revolution
will be spread to CzechO-Slovakla,
Roumania, Hungary and then into Ger
many and even further West.
Declaring that communism has be-
come the greatest single force in the
world and that he has devoted the re-
mainder of his life to it, Steffens Is
said to have told friends that the Aus
trian Government already is working
in close cooperation with the Soviet,
while Czecho-Slovakia is awaiting only
the word before establishing Soviet
rule.
Should the United States recognize
the Soviet Government of Russia it
is considered to be certain here that
Steffens would be the first Ambassa-
dor of the Reds to be sent to Wash
ingtOn.

the recall of Sir Reginald Tower, Brit

he has refused to permit the landing
of munitions at that port, according
to the Daily News.
paris.-EXecuting gigantic turn
ing movement with the aid Of large
number of troops brought up in trains,
the Red armies again are driving the
Poles backward along practically the
entire front, according to the latest
advices from Warsaw.
Polish aviatOrs report that Soviet
forces have consolidated their entire
front, established communications with
their bases and are receiving strong re-
Inducements of men, ammunition ana
guns.
1t is the opinion of some military
experts that the precipitous retreat
from Warsaw was mercy master
stroke of strategy to draw the Poles
from the strongly defended area into
the open country, hoping then to
break through and capture the capital
without struggle.
With the United States cruiser
Pittsburg and two French battleships
speeding toward the Baltic to support
the League of Nations by enforcement
of the treaty provisions by which the
Poles are insured a free right of way
to the sea, the United States has, in
the opinion of neutral diplomats in
Paris. openly renowned its policy OF
"spendid isolation"
Reports from DanZig indicate that
the PittSburg and the French vessels
will compel Sir Reginald Tower, High
Commissioner of the league there, to
reverse his decision forbidding the
landing Of munitions destined for Po-
land. The dispatching Of the Pittsburs
has caused profound sensation here,
where the strict legality of the act is
questioned on account of America not
having ratified the peace treaty.
At the same time the intention Of
President Wilson to back Poland to
the limit is understood to have been
conveyed personally to the Polish Min
lister here by Colonel Edward M.

In making this announcement the de-

of the convoy which brought the for
mer German warships to America, as
serting that even the dreadnaught Ost-
friesland, the only one of the five ships
capable of making the transatlantic
trip under her own power, was in such
condition on arrival at New York that
if would be hazardous to send her to
sea again.
CAPTAIN Hellweg attributed the con-
dition of the ships, the other four OF
destroyers, were submerged at Scapa
Flow, to deliberate vandalism" on the
part of their former German crews.
The condition in which we found
these vessels on taking them over can
not be exaggerated" he said. What
had not been stolen was wrecked. The
vandalism indicated very careful
preparation and the usual thorough
ness of the Huns in execution"
Expressing the belief that the Ost-
friesland had been looted systematical-
~ while in a German dockyard for
year after her surrender had been call
ed for, Captain Hellweg also declared
