A great world movement will touch
WASHINGTON during the coming week
when our Jewish citizens Will con-
tribute their allotment to the cause
of Zionism. The crusades were foughi
for the redemption Of the Holy Lane
from Moslems and its redistribution II
Christendom. Zionism purposes q
peaceful conquest of the land OF
Abraham and it's rehabilitation az
the world center Of Jewry.
For 1000 years Palestine has beer
in the hands of it's enemies. 1t has
ceased to flow with milk and honey
It's fields are desert, with but 10 pei
cent under cultivation. Its popula-
ton is six times as strong in Mo-
hammedanism as in the religion OF
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Yet
throughout the ages the Jews have
looked upon Palestine as their home
land. Whether in Russian ghettos
or in New York city-where are more
Jews than in any other city in the
world-they have cried in their
hearts:
my right hand forget her cunning
"If do not remember thee. let my
tongue cleave to the roof Of my
mouth; If I prefer not Jerusalem
above my chief JOY"
It is not intended that when Zion
ism reaches it's elimination there
shall be crusade OF the 14,0oo.00a
Jews from all the ends OF the dis
persal to recapture the Holy Land.
1t Is not planned that the 1900, ooo
Jews now in the United States shall
migrate to join the Jewish colonies
in Palestine. though some of the
sentimentaIly devout will do so, In
the joy OF the renaissance. In the
United States there Is no oppression
Hof Jews, as in some other countries
by reason Of their prosperity and
it their duty and privilege to con-
tribute to the momentous enterprise
Of founding amidst the surround
ings of sacred history a Jewish ma
tion-a republic of freedom, equality
land fraternity.
Theodor Herzl, the great journalist OF
Vienna. 1t was denounced ss impracti'
cal. The Turk ruled Palestine. For
a Turk to slaughter a Jew or Christian
was another jewel in his celestial dia.
dem. Herzf, himself Jew. had beer
unorthodox and unsympathetic with his
race. His dream grew out Of q sudden
awakening, upon seeing in France the
persecution Of his fellow Jew, Capt
Dreyfus. whose trial he had come to
report for his Vienna journal. Out OF
the cruelest of Jew-baiting came the
inspiration destined to restore to, the
race their former prestige and ma
tional entity. Herzl became a veritahle
prophet of q Jewish renaissance. He
appealed to Baron Hirsch. the multi
millionaire Jew, for financial aid to
the project of q world exodus to Pales-
THE, but Hirsch laughed him to scorn
He appealed to rulers of great em.
pires--to the governments ,of Great
Britain, Italy and Germany. He
called in 1898 world conference OF
Jews at Basel, Switzerland, and there
his fire spread to others.
Herzl died before the world war had
come to drive out the Turk from the
Holy Land, but his pioneer spirit is
stirring yet the great movement now
spread throughout the world. Gen
Allenby drove out tho Turk and Eng

To the Editor Of The Star;

To the Editor Of The Star;
In the interest of historical accu-
racy and because SO many young peo-
pie now get a large part Of their ed
ucation from newspapers, l venture
to call attention to an error in an
article of historical character by Mr..
John. F. Sinclair, published in The
Star Of February %.
In paragraph concerning Presi-
dents Of the United States he says:
mo Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives was ever elected Presi-
dent of the United States"
James K. Polk Of Tennessee, elect
ed as eleventh President, in 1914,
was Speaker of the House in the
iTwenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Con-
crosses, from March 4, 1885. to March
4, 1899. According to SO eminent an
authority as Col. A. K. Mcclure, he
was distinguished for his ability and
| fmpartiality as Speaker of the House"
("Our Presidents and How We Make
Them" page s0.)
1t is possible that Mr.. Sinclair may
have meant that no, man was ever
elected President while serving as
Speaker, but his article creates q diff
ferent impression. w. w. MILAN.

Another Explosion Confession"

II confession that is reported to-
have been made by a prisoner in Lon
don is: genuine the mystery Of the
Wall street explosion of September 1t.
1920, has been solved at last. Ever
since that crime, which cost the lives
OF thirty people and injuries to many
others, police and secret service agents
have been kept busy following trails
and making arrests, only to find in
no case a real clue to the perpetrators.
Some months ago a man Was arrested
in Poland who was said to have had
direct connection with the plot. and
who was to be returned to this coun-
try for the purpose Of revealing the
whole story of the plot. But for some
reason his alleged confession was not
taken seriously, and after d time Of
fetal interest in him lapsed. Much
mystery attends his case. Whether
he was posing as notorious character
or was unsupported as confessing' has
never been told.
So far as it has gone the story from
London does not throw any real light
on the matter beyond the statement
that man known as Ralph Thurber.
who has several aliases, now held in
Pentonville prison, has made full
confession duplicating seven other
people six men and q woman: There
is no clue: to the purpose of the plot.
Later disclosures will doubtless bring
much to light, unless this is another
water haul" -
No rredence has ever been given to
the theory that the explosion three
and u half years ago was accidental.
There was no conceivable purpose or
reason. for the, presence Of SO destruc-
tive a load Of explosives at that par
ticular point. Every known circum-
stance pointed to u plot. Yet just why
it should have been carried through in
the way that it was has been beyond
definite conception. The explosion took
place in the open street in circum.
stances. merely to kill lot OF people
and do some incidental damage to
buildings. 1t could not have been aimed
at any particular individual. It did
not occur at time OF public tension.
If it was = radical n,aneuver it was a
silly one. An this has added to the
mystery. - - -
If Thurber has told the truth he
will, of course, be sought in extradi-
ton proceedings for transfer to this
country. But there, is ground. for
doubt. The very fact that the news Of
the so-called~ confession has become
public may in itself cast q question
upon it's genuineness. .--.

APPOINTMENT OF HON.
CHARLES p. BARNES

The appointment by Governor
Baxter of Hon. Charles p. Barnes as
associate justice to fill the vacancy
occasloned by the death of Justice
Hanson is one which will receive
general approval.
The appointment is recognition of
fitness, for Mr.. Barnes not only
stands high in the legal profession, is
man of unimpeachable integrity,
but also possesses wide acquaint-
ance with public affairs. AS speak
er Of the Maine House his rulings
were recognized as eminently fair
and he commanded the respect of all.
His attainments are the fruits of
his indomitable endeavor all the way
up the ladder: his friends are many
and all of them will consider this a
reward which his endeavor has richly
earned, In other words 1t is but
fair to say the appointment will re-
ceive general approval but will be
decidedly popular with large num-
her
