NEW INFLUENCE OF
ZIONISM.
SIR HERBERT SAMUEL AND DR.
HERZL.
'A DREAMER AND À PRACTICAL MAN.”
"THE WORLD'S NEED IS RELIGION."
English Zionists filled the Kings way Hall, London, recently, for a meeting held to commemerate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Theodor Herzi, the Vien nese journalist who founded the Zionist movement,
·
Lord Melchett, who presided, elained that Heral was typical of the Jewish people, an idealist and, at the same time. & practical man of affairs-a dreamer whose visions had come true. Having once seen the right line of action for his people, he had continued, despite the seeming impossibility of the task, to hold Israel to the goal of establishment of a national home in Palestine.
Unaltered Faith.
Little as he could have forseen the national calamities which had made a fact of his ideal. he never
faltered in his faith. It was a strange thouht that, had Herzl's short 24 years of life been extendid to the Biblical three-score years and ten, he would have been there with them to rejoice' to-day.
Sir Herbert Samuel said that he knew of nothing more enthralling and inspiring than the life of Herzi and the events in Palestine during the last 5 years. There were few things more significant, for they 're- presented the triumph of a great tier. It was a demonstration of Hegel's remark that ideas had hands and feet and could reach and
achieve.
Collected, he said, from lands as wide as the earth itself, the aspira- tions of Jewry throughout the cen turies had become focussed on one man, Herzl, and from him they had been radiated again throughout the world, perhaps to endure for ceu turies. Herzl was, a central point in Jewish history.

that great industries, would have been started with Jordan harnessed for their needs.
Great Expenditura, Nearly £12,000,000 in Jewish money had been invested and spent in Palestine for these objects, while Hebrew had become the vernacular of the people and one of the official" languages of the State.
NAVAL & MILITARY
NOTES.
The annual training of the 7th (2nd London) Division. T.d., -in- cluding, a scheme which was carried out with the co-operation of the Royal Navy was held recently in the neighbourhood of Newhaven. Regular units of the Royal Artil lery and the Royal Tank Corps also took part, with 21 quad. ron of the Royal Air Force and detachments of the RN.V.R. and the V.A.D. The main operation in the scheme was the landing at Seaford of a "Greyland" force with the object of an attack on Portsmouth, which was resisted by "Downland" forces.
The object of the exercise was to introduce to the Territorial Army certain phases, of combined opera- tions involving the attack and de- fence; to practise inter-communi- cation between land, son, and air: to demonstrate how the latest developments in mechaniza-

It was impossible to forget the Jewish pensant toiling on the land, the factory worker persevering in uncongenial work and facing the risk and often the experience of unemployment, and the arduous
labours of the scholar.
In all of three there was heroism. "These," he said, "are the roots and stems and the leaves from which the blossoming of this renewed civilisation will spring."
Hoy Jewish Loyalty. There was a new school in Zionism which was seeking to convert Pales tine into the seventh Dominion of the British Empire. He did not gree with this idea, for Jewish, for British, and for international reasons, but this need not prevent all sections from working together.
Not the least farsceing step which the Zionist movement had taken. under Dr. Weissmana's leadership. was the invitation they had extend el to other sections of the Jewish community to work with them. It was to some extent an act of self- sacrifice to offer half the seats on the new Agency to those who had not, perhaps, borne in equal mea sure the burden and the heat of the day.

In order to carry this into effect, it is intended to invite all naval officers' charities to provide their annual reports, together with particulars of their objects and methods, and specimen application forms and case papers. The bureau will then be able to give information, if applied to us to the work and scope of any parti. cular charity, or to suggest the ap propriate fund to deal with any in- dividual case that may be brought to its notice. A naval officer will be appointed by the Admiralty to act as liaison officer in connexion

Mr. H. F. Devitt, chairman of the Arethusa Committee, ib speech at the recent annual prize. giving ceremony, performed by the Lord Mayor of London (Bir Kynas to ton Studd), stated that the hull of the training ship Arethusa, which lies in the Thames at Green- hithe, was in a serious condition of disrepair. The cost of repair would be very extensive, as the decks were
very old and leaking badly. The total expense of maintaining the ship last year was £13.522, with an additional special expenditure for repairs of £850. There was great difficulty in getting boys into the Royal Navy, and efforts to get them into the Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand Navies were unsuc Hecesful. There was, however,
