JERUSALEM CELEBRATES "DEC-
LARATION DAY" AS NATIONAL
FESTIVAL.
Speaker at Festival Gathering in Je-
rusalem Describes BaIfour DecIara-
tion as Check Drawn OH British
National Honor.

An enthusiastic meeting was held in
Jerusalem on Nov Ind to celebrate
the second anniversary of the declara-
tion by Great Britain favoring the
establishment in Palestine of Ma.
tional Homeland for the Jewish peo,
pie. The principal speaker was David
Iellin, president of the Vaad Hair
who said among other things:
From year to year we celebrate the
beautiful festival of Passover, the an
niversary OF our entering into freedom
when every jew considering himself a
free man, feels like king as he re-
members the departure from Egypt. AT
every feast and Sabbath the departure
from Egypt is recalled: we do not eel
abrate our entrance into Erez Israel
but our going out of Egypt, the house
of bondage, for that was really the
foundation of the building up of our
nation. Many years passed between
our going out of Egypt and our ac-
quiring Erez Israel; much patience
was needed and on more than one
occasion complaints were heard So
today we observe as national holiday
the day when the Shofar heralding our
freedom as nation was heard, the
Balfour Declaration in which England
recognized us before the enlightened
world as n nation. We have not vet
entered into our inheritance and the
way is still long before we can revive
our desolate country. but we celebrate
today the laying of the foundation
stone of our renaissance, which in the
days to come when the land is fruit
ful we shall continue to observe In
those coming days there will be heard
the voice of the shepherds of Israel
in the mountains of Gilead: the vine
dressers in Judah; the fishermen by
the sea of Kinneret and the Medf-
terranean the sound of the motors
of industry in all corners of the land,
while from Dan to Beer Sheba the
farmers of Israel will he found--in
those days we shall also remember the
day on which We again became a ma
tion.
Mr.. Yellin went on to refer to the
sroundlessness of any cause to be dis
heartened. The British Declaration
was regarded by every Englishman as
a check drawn upon his honor, which
he would redeem to the limit of his
powers. Let us hope. continued the
speaker, that in the coming year we
shall see real progress in the build
ing up of our land. new works and
fresh builders. the founding of colonies
and the development of industry; the
spirit of life. the spirit of Israel re
viving on his land. pcrmeating the
whole country.

Long Sentence for Trea-
son RENTED
SECRETARY OF WAR NEWTON ID.
BAKER, RULES THAT EVIDENCE
AGAINST PRIVATE LAWRENCE
PERI4MUTTER CONVICTED OF
TREASON is NOT ADEQUATE.

New York. Dec. "A Swenty-year
sentence imposed some time ago upon
Private Lawrence Perimutter or this
city. only member of the American En-
peditionary Forces convicted of treas
on. has just been remitted by Secretary
of War Newton d. Ba-,er. MIR. Baker
acted on the recommendation of Judge
Advocate General Crowder. Word of
Secretary Bakers decision has been re-
ceived by Congressman isaac Siegel.
who has interested himself in the
young soldiers case
Private Perlmutter was a member of
the Medical Department. 9th Infantry,
I'd Division. He was convicted bv
court martial in Cob1enz of having
furnished military information to the
Germans while he was prisoner of
war. His conviction took place when
he Joined the American army after the
signing of the armistice and general
headquarters approved the sentence
then imposed
The only witness against Private
Perlmutter was Captain William II.
Gordon. Two witnesses are needed to
convict an American soldier of treas
on. it is pointed out. Private Perl
Imutter was captured with Captain Cor
don April IA. 1918. The former de-
olared at his hearing that at the time
Of his capture he had been in the sec
tor only ten days and had no knowl-
edge of the location of the various
units of his regiment. Captain Gordon
charged that while he was living in n
cot he had overheard thru "A wall the
Germans ask questions of Private Perl
American units and that he had heard
the answers given by the private.
In the approval of General Crowd
er's report. evidence of hostility to-
ward Private Perlmutter hy his fel-
low prisoners, noted by General Crowd
cr, was taken into consideration. 1t
was furaiier noted that according TO
the evidence. the conversation between
Private Perlmutter and his German
questiOners was in English. General
Crowder's opinion was that it was in
herently improbable that Private Perl
rlutter was the man talking to the
German questioners as it had already
been proven that Private Perlmutter
spoke German fluently General
Crowder was further of the opinion
that an element of doubt existed inas-
inuch as the American officer did not
see Perlmutter on the occasion that
he WIS alleged to have given the in
formation to the enemy. Congressman
S;egel became interested in Private
Perlmutter's case when the latter re-
turned to this country on his way TO
Tort Leavenworth.
In October the announcement was
made at Washington that on the rec
ommendation of the Clemcncy Section
of the Judge Advocate Generals De-
partment the twenty-year sentence had
been reduced to five years pending re-
examination. The decision OF Secre-
tary Baker RENTS the entire sentence.
