 Some contend the condition of horseshoe pitching is due to the world Series scandal. It is not gen. erally known that there was scan- dal in the horseshoe pitching world series, out this is so. Last year, when Bobbit won the world championship. it was claimed that his opponent had agreed to throw the horseshoe out of the park if l have to-" Two mys- terious strangers, who dressed like New Workers, were in Ohio the week of the series. and Sheriff Joe Hick- erdee reported having searched the room of the former champion in the Majestic house and found a S2 bill under his pillow and Is cents in change under the bed.
 Others claim that the use of the lively horseshoe is killing interest in the noble sport. In the old days horseshoe was a horseshoe and most horseshoe players were such athletes they could, in a pinch, throw shoe
 without removing it from the horse.

of Americas oldest and noblest insti- tutions, attendance at all the horse shoe contests has fallen off badly this year, many of the horseshoe casting stadiuns being practically deserted.
 Only a few days ago Charles Davis of Columbus, Ohio. met Charlie Bob bit of Lancaster. Ohio, for the worlds championship. and wont it in five out of nine stirringly contested games. It was perhaps the most exciting horseshoe pitching contest ever held. Feeling ran high at times and the umpire was threatened with a mob ping unless he cut down Davis's shoes 17-l000 of an inch. Yet only a few thousand attended, and the noble sport has not drawn any more fans than before the contest.
 Whats the matter with horseshoe pitching: That's the question. Many Ianswers have been made, one of which blames the high cost of admission. This seems without foundation. how ever, since the only requirement of a person seeking to attend is that he buy cake of plug tobacco and stand

meeting room, applause knew no
bounds. When they had mounted the
platform and after the ovation had
cooled down, DR.. Weizman rose to
make his opening address. He spoke
in Hebrew.
Weizm As Opening Address
In his opening address, DR.. Weiz-
man. president Of the World Zionist
Organization, expressed the hope that
the Jews of America would under
stand the great duty and the grave
responsibility which was theirs.
"After eight years of separation" he
began, (which were OF greatest slgnl-
fcance to our movement, we meeI
today at the 18th Zionist Congress.
"The outbreak Of the war found us
unprepared. We had neither money,
nor influence, nor army. We had only
our moral strength, and the firm con-
viction in the justice OF our cause:
These weapons brought us success.
But the Balfour Declaration, ne de-
clared moment later, does not solve
the problem of Zionism. 1t merely
gives us the possibility for further
work. The British government Will
keep it's promise to the Jewish people,
but there are and will be many dltfl-
culties. 1t will be particularly trying
to work with immigration limited, but
no obstacle shall prevent our pro-
gress.
Weizman then praised the Chaluzlm
who had injected new vlvlfylng IN
luence into the Palestinian settle
ment.
Speaking of the American Jews,
Weizman expressed the hope that
thew would in this hour take the place
of their unfortunate brethren in East
ern and Central Europe who were not
in a position to create large sums OF
The Zionist leader did not touch
upon the Keren Hayesod controversy
directly, but towards the end OF his
address he indicated that "there is
more than one way to Zion. We rec
ognize there are Jews who are not
ready to work for the Keren Hayesodd
which expresses the national Will OF
the Jewish people,"
Weizman in his speech warned the
Arabs not to attempt to frustrate the
fulfllment of the Balfour Declaration
and maintained that it was in their
interests to live in peace with the
Jews.
His closing remark was, "The hour
is an earnest one. pray to God that
the Congress will live up to the great
responsibility which Jewish history
has placed upon it."
After DR.. Weizman's opening ad-
dress, Mr.. Nachum Sokolow spoke at
length in Hebrew. He discussed first
of all the terrible plight of the Jews
of Europe, especially of Ukrainlan
Jewry, and protested against the clvl..
lized world and against the League OF
Nations for not having put stop to

conditions which brought with them
the destruction of communities num-
bering millions of Jews.
He then asked the Congress to rise
in honor Of Zionists who have died in
the service of the movement. He
mentioned the victims of the Jeru-
salem and Jaffa pogroms, the heroes
who died in the defense of Tel Chai
and Cfar Gileadi. He spoke of
Trumpeldoar, of DR.. Wolfson, Of DR..
Tchlenov, of Aaron Aaronsohn, Of
Barochov, the Poale Zion leader, of
Commandant Bianchini, Diennensohn
and Sir Mark Sykes.
British Government Sends Greeting
At the first session of the Congress,
Mr.. Clark, the British ambassador in
Czecho- -Slovakia, addressed the Con-
gress on instructions from the London
British Government. He read the
complete text of the Balfour Decla-
ration and stated that he had been
asked to express the wish of the Brit
ish Government that the Zionist
leaders build Palestine on the basis
of the Balfour Declaration and that
the Balfour Declaration materialize to
it's fullest extent.
kilograms Of greeting were receiv-
ed from President Masaryk of the
Czecho-Slovakian Republic and from
Premier Benesch. An official repre-
sentative of the Czecho- -Slovakian Re-
public addressed the meeting in per-
son.
Sokolow Elected President
At the second session of the Zion
ist Congress, Mr.. Nachum Sokolow
was elected president of the Congress.
The vice presidents are Leo Motz-
kin. DR.. Farbstein of the Polish Miz-
rachi, Rabbi Meier Berlin of the Miz-
rachi, DR.. Klummel. general Zionist
of Warsaw, Louis Lipskv, Sprinzak
of the 'Palestinian Poel Ha-Zoir, and
Kaplanski of the Poale Zion.
The "Beisitzer" (advisors) are Chief
Rabbi Chaies, DR.. A. H. Horodetzky,
Prof. Heinrich Loewe, Chief Rabbi
Nemirower of Roumania, Engineer
Tiomkin and David Yellin.
Mr.. Leichtheim, member of the
Zionist executive, read report of the
financial activities of the organiza-
tion.
He reported that since July %, 1917,
when the Zionist Organization moved
to London 91,054.052 ($5,27O.OOO)
were collected. Of these, 9878,O48
came from the Restoration Fund, and
9134,O00 from various collections and !,
contributions. These figures did not.
include collections for the KerenA
Hayesod. Of this amount, 1921 ,457H
were transferred to the Zionist Com
mission for it's use in Palestine. The y
Zionist Commission spent 9858,562

July %, 1919 to July 80, 1921; anG

the Zionist Executive and for propa-
ganda work.
julius Simon Attacks Executive
At the second session, after the
reading Of the political and financial
reports, Mr.. julius Simon, resigned
member of the World Zionist Execu-
tive, began the discussion with a bit
ter attack upon DR.. Weizman, Usis-
skin, and Ruppin as leaders Of the
world movement, and upon Zlatopol-
sky and Naiditch of the Keren Haye-
sod. Simon argued that as result
of the pressure put upon DR.. Weiz-
man by his colleagues, he disrupted
Brandeis, he said, who had been ac-
cepted as a tried and true Zionist
and follower of Herzl, was suddenly
denounced as bad Zionist, notwith-
standing the fact that the only favor
able point in the Palestine Mandate,
the point as to the creation of Jew
ish Agency in Palestine, is ascribable
to the work Of Brandeis. Brandeis,
declared Simon, is power for Zion
ism that cannot be replaced.
Simon then discussed the colonial
tion efforts being made and declared
them inefficient and bankrupt.
Russian Delegation Criticizes Weiz-
At a meeting of the Russian dele
cation which took place on Thursday
morning before the opening Of the
Congress, much criticism was voiced
against DR.. Weizman and the present
Zionist leadership. Rozoff led the
discussion.
DR.. Weizman, who had been invited
to the caucus, answered the attacks
and gave the details of the break in
America, which, he said, was brought
about despite his incessant efforts to
avert it. He declared that the result
of his trip in America has to be con-
sidered as a victory for national
Zionism and for the Zionist Organ
ization. Weizman then accused the
Doar Ha-yom group in Palestine of
being harmful to the highest inter-
ests of the Zionist movement.
American Zionist Delegation Center
of Interest
The American Zionist delegation is
the center of much interest and the
object of many inquiries as to the de-
tails, causes and possible effects of
the recent break in the ranks Of the
American ZlOnlStS. Mr.. Louis LlpSky
or Mr.. Alb. Goldberg will make pub
lie declaration before the Congress on
the American situation.
Churchill Tells Arabs Great Britain
Agrees to Jewish Majority in
Palestine
Mr.. Landman, general secretary of
the World Zionist Organization, ar
rived here and brought the details Of
the second audience between Churchill
and the Palestinian Arab delegation.
Churchill told the Arabs definitely
that the Zionists demand free and
unlimited immigration into Palestine
so that they may be able gradually to
create a Jewish majority in the coun-
3try. To this, said Churchill, the Brit
'ish government found no objection.
He added that the Jews had no desire
to rule the country as long as they
remained minority.
The American Jewish world., 1921-09-09

The twelfth Zionist Congress which
opened in Carlsbad, Checho- -Slovakia,
September 1, and is scheduled to con-
tinue until September 10, has thus
far proved to be full Of earnest, i'm
passioned discussion of the reports
of the Executive Committee of the
World Zionist Organizations; the
activities of the Zionist Commission
in Palestine; the controversy and the
resultant split in American Zionism;
and the constructive plans for future
work in and for Palestine. Of the
five hundred delegates, only forty-odd
were from America and yet the sit
uation in America and the attitude
of the former leaders Of American
Zionism, notably Brandeis, and Mack,
occupied prominence entirely out of
proportion to the numerical strength.
Below we give a detailed account
of the first few sessions. AS we go to
press, details are lacking as to the
personnel Of the new officers or the
executive committee. We can report
though, that despite the spirited criti-
cism of Weizman and the executive
committee, Weizman was given an
overwhelming vote of confidence by
the congress. Yet in all probability
the motion made by DR.. Elmer, on be-
half of the Roumanian Zionists will
be accepted in some form. The Rou-
manian Zionists offered a resolution
that the congress devise some method
of having Brandeis and his followers
brought back actively into the Zionist
movement. Below we cite extracts
from a detailed report Of the first few
sessions of the Congress.
AT THE OPENING SESSION
Carlsbad, Thursday, September L,
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)-The
18th Zionist World Congress opened
here today with 500 delegates and
some 1000 visitors present. The
spirit among the delegates is jubilant,
and yet serious; jubilant because fter
a separation of six years during
which no international congress was
held, the forces of Zionism are re-
united to work out plans for common
action and to adopt future policy;
serious, because Of the weighty, diff
cult and trying problems that con-
front the meeting. The hall is decor
ated with Zionist, English and
Czecho- -Slovakian colors. A painting
of Herzl, framed in flowers, stood at
the center of the platform.
The vari-colored, vari-styled CO.'S
tunes of the delegates from far off
lands, afforded an interesting spec
tacle. The mountain Jews of the Cau-
causus were there in their Kossack
uniforms, the Turkish Jew in his fez,
the Chosid in his kaftan and YARN
elke, the Ukrainian Jew in the dull
grey that told many a heartrending
tale, the Western European and
American Jew in frock and silk
hat. Men and women who had
not met for years at a Zionist
gathering greeted one another cor
daily. The entrance of the noted He
brew poet Bialik was the signal for a
prolonged ovation. Hundreds focked
to shake hands with him and to con-
gratulate him.

of the Zionist Executive, entered the
