Washington.--Rates on horses and
mules in carloads from Wichita, Kan,

to the extent that they exceeded the
rates on like traffic from Kansas City
to the same destinations. The com
mission also found that the rates were
unduly prejudicial to Memphis in that
they exceed the rates in effect from
Kansas City by more than $40 on
standard car, with rates on larger cars
in proportion. The undue prejudice

Tristan Is British possession In

circumference. The nearest inhabited
place Is st. Helena, 1900 miles away.
The island itself Is Of volcanic origin,
the only habitable portion of 1t being
a tongue of fertile land at the foot of
the precipitous cliffs.
Sufficient potatoes are grown In

WILL OF MULTI.MILLIONAIRE

The will of F. w. Woolworth, leav-
ing an estate of s27. O0O.OO to his Wild
ow, was a document Of less than 200
words, written thirty years ago when
he was a poor man. Thirteen years
before making the testament he was
married to Jennie Creighton, OF Pic
ton, Ont. and had his pay raised to
$40 a week. The estate was passed
without restriction to the widow. but
there Is some speculation as to Its
future administration. The transfer
tax was s1.0S4.761 and the total tax
levy of New York state and the feder-
al authorities s201s.Ss2. The apprai-
sal also disclosed that Mr.. Woolworth
had contracted for a mausoleum In
woodlawn cemetery which was to cost
100000.

the people had been without bread, tea,
coffee and sugar, but they all looked
pretty well nourished."
The reason there is no bread Is that
fifty or sixty years ago shipwreck
near the island allowed rats to get
ashore, SO that since that time no
wheat has been raised. But the men
say that they are going to try again
when the next mail In a year or two
brings them some seed wheat. In the
meantime they are In no hurry; II
there isn't any bread they can be con-
tented on potatoes. And, to supple
ment their potatoes. fish are abundant,
and cattle. and birds with their eggs,
and seals. They want for many
things, says the chaplain. nevertheless
there appears to be little discomfort,
and few ever wish to leave the is
land.

DR.: Chain Weizmann
herein gives general sur
vey of conditions within the
American Zionist move
ment. This is the first time
in years that the Zionist
leader takes occasion to
make such statement
through the press.
Were | to convey in a few
words the outstanding impress
sion of my short stay in Amer
ica, [ would say that on the day
when it became evident that
there was no more room for ne
gotiations with the American
Zionist leaders, I felt myself a
free man. Since that day I am
more confident and optimistic.
The conferences, which dragged
on for almost three weeks, were
of a degrading character and it
was almost impossible for even
the most patient person to par
ticipate in them. | bent all my
efforts to arrive at an under
standing but now | am firmly
convinced that as long as the
American Zionist leaders will
not accept national Zionism,
there can be no agreement. This
is the fundamental difference. If
some introduce other arguments
they do SO simply to hide the
real issue of the conflict.
Essentially, two series of ques-
tons present themselves for dis
cussion. The frst-on the Zion
ist program. Upon my arrival,
the Zionist leaders placed before
me lengthy memorandum, la
ter accepted by the National
Executive Committee of their
organization. That memorandum
contains an outline of certain
views of fundamental policy
which reduce Zionism to a pure
ly economic movement and rob
it of it's nationa1istic character.
In my discussion of this prob
lem with the members of the Ma
tional Zionist Executive it was
brought home to me with pain
full clarity that for at least a year
we would have to educate them
to a point where they would be
able to grasp the content of full
blooded Zionism. These gentle
men do not know; do not think
very much They operate with
catch phrases. They are still
stepped in assimilation. What
to us is A B C is to them intri-
