ices he was awarded the Distinguished

A World Traveller.
Col. Patterson has travelled all over
the world, including several trips to
America, Canada and Alaska,
The late President Roosevelt was a
personal friend of Col. Patterson. 1t
was he who was responsible for send
ing President Roosevelt out On his
hunting expeditions after having stay
ed at the White House as a personal
visitor, and exciting Roosevelt's enthu-

which drove the Turks out of Palestine.
Alexander GOldstein.
Alexander Goldstein is noted Rus
sian Zionist, to whom the success Of
the Zionist organization in that coun-
try is due. In spite of the prohibition
under the czarist government, very
comprehensive organization was kept
up which, until the Russian collapse,
contributed more than any other coun-
try to the practical work in Palestine.
DR.. Goldstein's record as editor of the
Russian Zionist organ, "Razsviet," is
matter of common knowledge. Con-
sidering it unsafe to remain in Russia
under the bolsheviki, Goldstein pro-
ceeded to London and Paris where, as
member of the Russian central com
mittee or "Merkaz" as it is commonly
called, ne continued to give his service
to the Palestine cause.
Tells of Sufferings.
He is also a member of the COM
mittee of Jewish delegations at Paris,
which did so much for the champion

eastern Europe. He was later assigned
to Bulgaria as a representative Of the
Keren Hayesod and more recently to
the Argentine, where he achieved nota-
BILE success in elieiting the support of
the entire Jewish community in that
country and in modifying them for the
Palestine cause.
Those who heard Col. Patterson and
Mr.. Goldstein were deeply stirred and
anxious to alleviate the sufferings Of
their European brethren. Col. Patter-
son discussed the political and econ
onnic situation in establishing a home
land for the Jews while Mr.. Goldstein
told of the tortures inflicted upon the
Jewish dwellers in the Ukraine. He
said that 10000 men, women and chill
dren, 1919 of the Jewish population of
10000 had been massacred. The
goal of the movement is the establish
ment Of homeland for these wander
ing sufferers and the members of the
local chapter are pledged to do their
share to realize the plans Of the or
