severe structures on Zionism and
the leaders of the movement, as well
as an indictment of the British policy

Jewish people, stating that he has
neither organization nor followers.
He refers to Israel Zangwill as

The Dissolution of the House Of
Rothschild.
The possibility of the extinction
of the at one time famous house of
Rothschild is a subject of comment
in both the Jewish and general press.
The Associated Press correspondent,
writing from London, says:
THE English branch of the Roth
schild family, which has held a dom
inant position in British finance
through nearly three generations be-
cause of the founders stroke of
strategy in obtaining the first news
of the result of the battle of Water
loo, seems destined to pass into
comparative obscurity. The death of
Nathaniel, fourth head of the firm
in direct succession, was surprise
to London. and the revelation at the
inquest that he died by his own

The possible dissolution of the
English branch of the house of
Rothschild is one of the most mel
ancholy chapters in the history of
modern finance. Dynasties have a
way of disappearing, and the Roth
schild dynasty will not be any ex-
ception to the rule, though it will be
generally missed. For many years
the most noted of the family lived
in England, where they rose not only
to great wealth. but to great power
