ZIONIET CONGRESS, BASLE, Switser- land, Aug. 20.(—New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)~To the Jews of America through the World: “The offer of the British government is most gen- erous and deserving of the gratitude of the Jewish people all over the world. The practical value of it will have to be examined through an expert exploration of the area. His British majesty's govern- ment seems Inclined to make the grant to the Jewish colonial trust. Such s, how- ever, the fervor of Jews, principally those of Russia, for their Zionistic idea that they look with suspicion even upon the kindest ofter if it implies even the remotest pos- sibility of turning the Jews away from Zion. They ask as a body for one coun- try oniy—Palestine.

Tangw! curs. To the Jews of America Through the World: “In my address on Tuesday I pointed out that the Jews of New York were expending $1,000.000 per year for the support of charitable Jewish institutions, 0 per cent of which sum was applied to meeting conditions created because of im- migration into America from the centers of Jewish oppression. This great burden upon the American Jews will be lifted In great part the day a land is provided to which the great stream of Russian, Galaclan and Roumanian emigration may be diverted. I would say, now that a specific way of cur- ing a great evil is pointed out, let the American Jews give such substantial sup- port as will render the work of the expe- dition Into British Bast Africa thorough and therefore of the best value. “Then, if the report of. the expediiion is favorable, let the American Jews who ap- prove of the plans, Influential ones among them giving the example, enter the ranks of Zionism enmasse. Let them send a large delegation to the congress to be speclally called to consider the East African plan and thus help settie in a rational way the problem created by Jewish emigration to hélp their affiicted brothers and will also lighten their own burdens, ‘Great Britain's offer is an act which must be put In the same ethical plane as that of the United States government as regards Kishineft. All honor to President Roosevelt for having created a precedent in international politics which will greatly tend to ennoble the relations between gov- | erments. Goal is Palestine. “Of course this East African scheme be- longs to general Jewish politics, not to specific Zionism, whose goal is Palestine. But the Zionists, having for the first time in eighteen centurles envisaged the Jewish situation as & whole and thus created gen- eral Jewish politics have naturally found themselves confronted with another solution of the mere political side of the Jewish situation, and the leaders consider themaclves not warranted to withhold from their followers. in view of the tragic position of the Jewish people, a scheme so generonsly offered. The offer curfously coincides with a renewed possibility of mcquiring Palesgyne through the political influence of Russia.

(Copyrighted, 19, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Aug. %.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Marine Min- ister Pelletan, on returning from his honeymoon trip with his bride, ordered for hér several hats at a department store, bfit to his consternation found he had mis- Iaid or lost his ‘‘portefeulll as the French call pocketbooks, containing $200. The bridegroom’'s embarrassment amused the onlookers, and has given the French press a chance to exhibit its peculiar brand of humor, saying that Mr. Pelletan should regard the incident as a bad omen, as portefeuille also means portfolio of min- istry, and he may lose that, too. Pocket- book and money intact were found after- wards under the cushion in a rallway com- partment which had been occupled by the couple in returning from Brest. Recently big headlines in the newspapers announced that an attempt had been made to assassinate the premier at Marseilles. But the case has simmered down to the fact that his coachman was hit on the hat by @ tomato, presumably thrown at the premier. The anti-ministerial press calls it an outrage that two men are still kept In prison because they merely are sus- pected of having thrown the tomato in the direction of the expeller of the monastic orders, while even if gullty they already have suffered punishment out of Ppropor- tion to the act. Their immediate reiease is demanded. The French minister of war, General Andre, possibly taking the hint from the American navy department's utilising dur- ing the war with Spain many pleasure yachts for a “mosquito fleet,” has gone one better. He Is about to perfect a de- tafled’ register of automobilists, with pre- cise descriptions of their machines, for the possible mobilizing of an army of muto- mobiles, with competent chauffeurs in case of war. The registration will include the particular vocation of each automobflist. The minister has also ordered that an in- vestigation be made and a record kept of all those now doing active military ser- vice who have been competent chaffeurs. There will be a motor boat race from Paris to Trouvill on the river Seine tomor- row. The contestants will be required to demonstrate the stopping power of the boats by making a certain pull-up promptly on arriving at the locks. A Mercedes boat, while making thirty-three knots on & trial, stopped inside of forty feet. TAKES PITY ON THE STATUES Finds Them Destitute of Clothing and Covers Them with Grape- vine Leaves.

Aug. 2. —(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—A man bent nearly double carrying a heavy load of grapevine leaves and talking volubly to himself was stopped near the fortifications yesterday by a police inspector, who In- quired: “What are you doing with those things®" “] am taking these leaves to cover the statues In Paris that haven't any,” calmly answered the man. that he had encountered a he¥ | injet th N opectos ook ihe man to the nearsst police station, whete the man sald: “I am the president of the League of Modesty.

TOO MUCH MONEY FOR GIANTS (Copyright, 193, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Aug. 2 —(New York World Cable- gram-Special Telegram.)—The $2,000,000 legacy left by Count Alfred St. Ouen de Plerrecourt to his native city of Rouen, on condition that provision be made for propa- gating a race of glants. has finally been dis- posed of. The natural heirs began litiga- tion, which has now resulted in an agree- ment that the city shall vpend $160,000 In founding an Institute for glants, keeping $600,000 in reserve and giving the balance to the legitimate heirs. It is proposed to main- Hirseh | tain In this novel institute a score or more milllons, providing for the payment out|of glant couples, establishing workshops for of certain Russian tax funds of near §2 per head toward the expense of transplanting fts Jews In another land. Unfortunately the Jewish Colonization association has not troubled the Russian government for much of this money. but has illegally preferred 1ts own policy of solving the Jewish prob- Jem In the lands of oppression to the emigration policy of Baron Hirsch, who if he were living today would be on the Zionists' side. The directors of the asso- clation are, however, in honor bound to help the East African scheme If reports that it is practicable are made by the Zlonist commissfon. ‘As for Palestine, that country without @ people, 1 do not see how this or some succeeding sultan can fail to understand the advantage to his own empire of giv ing it over to the people without a country, especially as the Jews demand none of the holy places of Christendom or lsiam, which would remain extraterritorial. “The emotional longing for Palestine on the part of the congress has been a revel tion. even for me. The gesture with which the Kischineff representatives rejected Af- rica was worthy of Cyrano de Bergerac.

MOST STRINGENT PORTION SUPPRESSED General Opinion No One Will Be Pun- ished for Shortcomings, on Contrary Most Been Rewarde (Copyright, 193, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Aug. ®New York World Cable- sram—Special Telegram.)—British Forelgn Minister Lansdowne is universally con- demned on the revelations in the report of the War commission of the unprepared- ness, bungling and general incompetence displayed at the outset of hostilities in Africa when he was war secretary. But no one will be punished, although the report constitutes the most damning in- dictment ever published against any depart- ment, and it is well known that the worst is concealed. All the responsible persons have long since got rewards and decor- ations. But the gravest feature of the report is the general consensus of opinion among the commanders that the average British sol- dier is of a low physical and mental type. General Kelly Kenny says: “His mental qualifications are not up to the general run of European soldlers.” General Bruce Hamllton testifies: “Our regulars are not anything like so well edu- cated nor anything like so good as regards intelligence as the Boers or some colonial troops.” Lord Methuen thought it impossible to expect that Tommy Atkins “could have the cunning and shrewdness of the dutchmen or colonials, therefore, it is essential to have resort to a more intelligent class of recruits.” All the generals share in this view, that a higher stratum of the population must be tapped If the British army is to be made efficlent. But the tendency has been for recruits to come from the lower and lower strata. Few respectable, intelligent arti- sans or laborers would think of joining the army.

He asks in a publication which has just appeared, “Has the women's movément been of advantage to woman?™ and answers “No." He will not discuss the question whether a few more or less poor women have been heiped to earn their bread by it or whether a few better off women have been enabled to live in greater ease. It is as physiologist that he argues thus: “Any one mcquainted with this problem must know that its appearance Is a sure sign of degeneracy In women, just as it is a sure sign of degeneracy in men when they strive after what is feminine and emasculated. The physiclogist knows this ‘neutral zone' of the mexes, and never be- fore in history has the been such a stampede of degenerates of both sexes to get onto It. Among these degenerates are the apostles of female emancipation.” KISSES HAVE LEGAL VALUE Penalties Provided in Russia for Be- stowing Them in Publi Places. (Copyright, 198, by Press Publishing Co.)

PETERSBURG, Aug. 29 —(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)— Kisses are actionable in southern Russia, but the many cases before the local mag- istrates prove that the little god of jove defles law as vwell as locks.

(Copyright, 138, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Aug. %.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—While the echoes of the Humbert case are still numerous and the reverberations of the Panama and South France railroad scandals have not dled out, the Paris press and public are striving to find if good may be extracted from evil. It is not questioned anywhere that the Humberts were abetted in the swindling, or at least srotected afterward, by members of the Ser of Deputies. So there comes a cry, itter compensation for the depu- tles, pointed out that $1,800 a year is av Jus salary for a man representing fe [000 to 3,000 electors, with expense T Tespondence, dinners and carriages, s living expenses. The proposition ' discussion now is to pay a deputy % salary in order to remove the danger = sacrifice their homor and endanger the public satety. The newspaper France says: ‘Raise the pay to 2,000 france (15,0000 and we would | no longer have the spectacle of a creature like Arion (a notorfous Panama briber) promenading the lobby of the Chamber of Deputies indicating by his finger individ- ual deputies and remarking: ‘He cost 10,000 francs (32,000, that one §0,000 framos ($10,000).' Napoleon the Great said: ‘Em- ploy as few functionaries as possible and pay them well. " Great Interest is everywhere felt in this proposition; which earries with it a vir- tual admission of corruption among French politicians. Those whose names have been connected with the Humbert case are printing de- nials in the newspapers. Ex-President of the Chamber Paul Deschanel and ex-Presi- dent of the Republic Casimir-Perier both write that they never assoclated with the family, never frequented Mme. Humbert's house or box at the opera, and never were suitors for the hand of either Mme. Hum- bert's daughter or sister. Casimir-Perier admits that possibly he may have spoken to Frederick Humbert in the Chamber of Deputies. Minister of Justice Valle is lkely to take action to prevent cases before the courts being tried in the newspapers. While the Humbert case was on The Matin called upon its readers to try the case, offering prizes for guessing whether there would be a conviction in each Indi- vidual case, and for those coming nearcst to naming the term of sentence imposed upon each. It is argued that it this con- tinues the government might as well do away with judges and juries and leave the decision of cases to a public vote through the newspapers. Mme. Humbert's brothers, Romain and Emile &'Aurignac, who did mot appeal, like Therese and Frederick, expect to be liberated conditionally soon, s they have been kept in jall already nearly long enough to eat up their sentences. Socialist leader Jaures says through the Petite Republique: ““The Humbert lies are not really comparable with Esterhazy's. The Humberts' only misfortune was that a similar group of men was not suffciently compromised with them to play the role a5 their protwction. Dreyfus trials led all to suppose that the most grotesque lies would be credited, bdut the trouble in this case was that the Hum- bert falsehoods did not wear a uniform like those of Esterhazy.” M. Ciemenceau writes In the Aurore: “Such a woman In the middle ages would have -worked miracles, making her foliow- ers belleve anything. Even In this age of doubt and heresy she would have seen angels as easily as she saw the Crawfords —with different result, however, for in. stead of heavenly delights she gets five years in prison.” { REVEAL IDENTITY OF AUTHOR Most Feminine of Women Has M tered a Most Masculine Style. (Copyright, 138, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Aug. %.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Paris has a new sensation. he identity of Claude Ferval, the novelist, whose book, entitled “The Other Love,’ was recently crowned by the French academy, has at last been revealed. Behind the masculine signature and virile style is the charming personality of the Baroness de Fribourg, the most | feminine of women. The Baroness de Fribourg's elegant home at the very head of the Avenue Bols de Boulogne, near the Arc de Triomphe, is frequented by the most distinguished men and women of the day. Rostand, Marcel, Prevost, Paul Hervieu, Mme. Paul de St. Vietor and other celebrities are to be met in her salon. The contrasts of her life are perhaps sccountable for the somewhat singular trenfl of the baroness’ mentality. Educated in & convent, where the spiritual life made a deep impression on her youthful imagina- tion, she became the bride of a soldier, and wa sthrown Into the gayeties of the world | among many difterent people. Of an ex- | tremely artistic temperament, she first came to the notice of the Parisians as a painter of portraits, several of which were exhibited at the salon It was accident which showed her the true bent of her genius. Her daughter, of whom she was passionately fond, mar- ried and left her. It was to ease her suffering that the baroness attempted in | “The Other Love" to depict the maternal yearning and the emptiness of her life The book, Issued under the pseudonym of “Claude Ferval caused a sensation. The baroness then took to writing as a career. Her second novel, “Le Plus Fort” (The Strongest), is just out.

The peti- tion is of a sweeping character and charges that the raflroads centering in St. Louis have formed practically a conspiracy to control the arteries of trade throughout the Mississippi valley. The aggregate wealth of the rallroad companies compos ing the so-called terminal combine and holding a joint proprietary interest is computed at $300,000,000. The quo warranto proceeding is a move- ment against an organization representing a financtal merger on a scale approaching that of the Northern Securities company. The petition sets forth briefly that the Terminal association and its constituent companies have a monopoly of 8t. Louls freight traffic crossing the Mississippl river, controlling ‘“every avallable St. Louls entrance both on !ncoming and out- golng freight.” The companies whose consolidation led to the present terminal combine are set forth In the petition as follows: St. Louis Bridge company, Tunnel Raliroad of St. Louls, Unfon Railway and Transit com- pany, Terminal Assoclation of St. Louls, St. Louls Merchants' Bridge company and the Wiggins Ferry company. The action taken today is the result of an exhaustive investigation made by the attorney general and his assistant, Samuel L. Jeffries, into the terminal conditions at §t. Louls. The officials of every corporation em- braced In tne membership of the terminal companies will be clted as witnesses. If service tan be secured the deposition of J.

TAKES SHOT AT THE MISSIONARIES Claim | Tre that They Reapon ment with In to Good It and Physi- el Ask Favors Not Given at Home, SAYVILLE, L. I, Aug. 2.—Alarmed ay | the critical condition of American-Turkish relations, Chekib Bey, the Subiime Porte's | envoy to the United States, is hastening to | Washington for a conference with Secre- { tary Hay. The minister burriedly left his | summer legation here tonight for Wash- 'H\glan. and because of the gravity of the | situation it is the ininister's Intention to | ask Secretary Hay to forego the customary | formalities and receive him ‘mmediately. | The conference will probably occur at Mr, Hay's house tomorrew afternoon. | The dispatch of American warships to Turkish waters fs a source of great anx- (lety to the minister. The Washington government's only cause for this action is to protect its citizens, but he fears it v have the opposite effect, and hinder efforts of the Sublime Porte to pro- | tect toreign citizens. The appearance of the American squadron off Beyroot will, he believes, be tuken by the revolutionists as an evidence of Washington's sympathy with their ca Until he received information from Con- stantinople, Chekib Bgy will not request the Washington government to remove the squadron, but will call Secretary Hay's attention to the delicate situatien in Tur- ! key, hoping that something rauy be done to remove the embarrassment of the porte. He Has Heard Nothing. No word has reached tle min’ster of the attack on the American minister at Bey- root and he has been without advices con- cerning events {1 Tirkey for more than a week. He hopes 5 fud ‘nstructions await- ing bim in Washington upon which will deped largely the rcope of his conference with fecretary ' fay. sere is a possibility that the ton government may be of service to the cultan solving his International aiM- culttes, and it is this as well as the local troubles at Feyroot which is calling the minister to Washington. Chekib Bey has siept little since hearing the report of Mr. Megelssen's asw ssina- tien, The night following he walked the floor unttl 6 a. m. the next morning. When the Assoclated Press representative called at the modest little cuttage at Sayville ‘today wiere the mivster has established summer headquafters, the @’plomat had just read in the morning papers of the mistake in Minister Leishman's mssage ard was evidently greally relleved. He talked freely of the present sitvation and aid not conceal the fact that he thought the outlook bad. Sime cf his remarks re- garding Turkey’s international coxpliea- tions he requested should be coneidered confidential, but in the hope that he might be able to say something to the American peopls that might -elieve the tenseness of public feeling here, he occnsented to the publication of a large part of the conversa- tion. He said: Turkish Minister Talks. 1 was profoundly distressed st the news from Beyroot and belleved that thore must be some mistake because I had heard noti ing about it from my government. The news today confirms this belief. What [ may say about Turkish-American relations will, T hope, be recelved in the spirit in which it is said, for it ha ays been my endeavor, in my three years in'the United States, to work always for the better re- iations of the two coun! all certainly not cease in my efforts in this di- rection at a ecritical time llke this. But what can I say? It :?pflurl that your vice consul was not assassinated. But does that lessen the gravity of tl the minister was uation materlally? asked. However that may be you must admit that my government has dome all that it could be expected to do. A8 soon as the local authorities learned of the affair they |calied at the American consulate and ressed their regret and yromised to do all n their gower to apprehend and punish the guflty person. In addition, the Foreign office has offered the strongest official as- surances to the same effect. Fears Effect of Demonstrat 1 appreciate fully the reasons for the dis- patch of the American cquadron. Rear Admiral Cotton is carrying his ships to p tect the lives of American citizen you considered that this may have the op- osite effect and stimulate the revolution- sts to further outrages, thereby increasing the difficulties in the way of the portes protection of foreigners? | must refuse at this time, however, to comment on this. I fervently' hope immediate rel'ef will be forthcoming. Have you any idea what motive inspired the attack on Mr. Magelssen? he was asked Despite the reports to the contrary and the efforts of the European powers io hay it otherwise, 1 believe the affair was with- out political “significance and the attack was made by a personal enemy of your vice consul. The unfortunate part of it is that coming at this time, the revolutionists will attempt to profit by the cccurrence and it is_this which renders the situation grave Do you think your government realizes the seriousness of purpose with which the usdron goes to Beyroot? Disastrous to Sever Relations, shing- My government would be very unwilling {10 belleve that uny but the best relations exiat betweep it and the United States. Of course the worst may come and relations be broken off, but I do not think so. 1 am hoping all the other way. I can think of nothing more disastrous (han a severance | of "diplomatic relations of the two coun- | tries. We will not speculate about that. Has your ellenicy heard the rumors that the Washington government's program calls for & scizure of one or more ports in the event the sultan refuses the American demands and that this in turn would be followed by the recall of Minister Lelshman and possibly your own departure from the United States? No, 1 have not heard that {not that bad. Of cours ment desires it, 1 shall go, take such serious view What demands 18 necessary in T hope it is it_your go: but let us no »t the situation do you refer to? Patlence international affairs. M sovereign has promised what you have sked, Or the most of your requests, and he will certainly carry out his promises. You must remember that my country fis cupled at present, and I hope the Washington government will appreciate this and not insist on a final adfustment of all pending controversies until the interior troubles have quieted. Physicians Source of Trouble, u have asked for certain privileges for rs and students. You want your ph: admitted on certificates o practh urkey. My government is very carefui e kind of doctors it licenses 1o prac tice. If your government would itself ap prove the diplomas of the American schoc of medicine, your physicians would be ad- mitted without examination. This is the reason that the French and other European physicians are admitted on certificates. T medical schools of those countries are un- very mus 1 o
