Special Cable to The American.
VIENNA, Aug. 30.—In a few days
the eleventh congress of Zionists, who
exemplify the latter-day form of the
old Jewish yearning for Palestine,
will open here.
Former generations of the Jewish
people trusted for their return to
their ancient home to'the strength of
the promises of their prophets, and
they hoped that, at the hour to be
fixed by the Almighty, the Messiah
would appear, and by a miracle would
restore the dispersed people to the
Holy Land. #
The Jews of to-day. however, de
sire to return to Palestine because
they realize that in this return is
their sole means of overcoming the
persecution to which they are every
where liable, and to preserve the
Judaism they are determined not to
relinquish. •
They strive to reach this goal by
their own efforts; by emigrating to
Palestine; by purchasing there as
much land as they can obtain; by
founding colonies, tilling the soil,
building towns, setting up there
banks, schools and scientific labora
tories—in short, by creating all those
works of culture which any civilized
immigrant needs.
Plan to Retain Culture.
For it has to be borne in mind that
the Jews who migrate to Palestine
are not wishful of transforming
themselves into Asiatics. They de
sire to remain a people of Occidental
culture.
Zionism is not the ideal of all Jews.
Many to whom Judaism does not con
nect nationality, but only a religion,
desire to stay in the countries of
which they are citizens. They have
coined the sentence “Our Zion is
Washington.”
The Z’onist movement has created
for itself an organization which en
circles the globe. At its head is plac
ed a committee of five members, the
seat of which is in Berlin. The con
gress is the parliamentary represen
tation of the Zionist Jews.
Many delegates will feel a burning
desire to raise the question of the
persecutions under which 6,000,000 of
our people groan in Russia.
The congress, too will doubtless
wish to protest against the outlaw
ing of 250,000 Jews by the Roumani
ans, who themselves at present ap
peal to the sympathies of Europe in
behalf of their own nationalists. It
is probable, however, that the con
gress will stifle the complaint con
cerning the torments inflicted on
Israel, for Europe to-day turns a deaf
ear to every invocation of her con
science.
One of the most important subjects
on the agenda of the congress has ref
erence to one phase of Jewish perse
cution. The Russian Government,
systematically pursues the plan of
shutting out Jews from all instruction
and culture.
Germany Veils Its Purpose.
To its grammar schools and uni
versities it admits Jews only in such
small numbers arid on such humiliat
ing conditions as amount practically
to their total exclusion. Jewish
youths and maidens are forced to
study abroad. But now anti-Semit
ism is at work in Germany to close
the German universities to the Jews.
This is affected in a particularly
hypocritical manner. The German
authorities refrain from declaring
“We do not admit Russian Jews to
our universities.” Instead they
pharisaically declare, ‘Russians are
accepted by us only if they have been
inscribed already for two half-year
terms at a Russian university.”
Pews, of course, can not comply
with this condition. For it is just be
cause they are not permitted to be
registered at any university in their
own country that they migrate.
The Swiss faculties, the ones most
frequented by Russian Jews, are pre
paring to imitate the German ex
ample. Jewish youths from Russia
thus see themselves driven back from
all sources of higher study accessible
to them.
Plan College in Palestine.
Yet they will not perish with thirst.
The idea of founding a Jewish uni
versity in Palestine will be discussed
at the congress and presumably
adopted in principle.

LONDON, Aug. 30.—Lord Rosebery
has popepd up in a way rather dis
concerting to the members of the
British Cabinet. When King George
went to Balmoral, Lord Rosebery
was not even in Scotland, yet he ar
rived at Balmoral only a few hours
after the King.
He remained there more than
week, during which time the King
dispensed with the attendance of
members of the Cabinet. This is the
first time that a prominent “unoffi
cial” politician has been at Balmoral
to the exclusion of all the King’s re
sponsible advisers.
It is truly said that the British
throne Is now occupied by a trinitv.
In the order of their importance many
would arrange them as the Queen,
Lord Rosebery and the King. There
is little doubt that Queen Mary in
her quiet way is one of the most
masterful women in Europe.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 30.—English mili
tants are adopting the “garter dag
ger” as their principal weapon of
fense and defense.
Dozens of the fair suffragettes have
purchased wicked-looking steel pon
iards which they keep masked under
their skirts in a neat sheath. The
arrangement is much after the order
of the pistol belt and holster of the
American West in its wild and woolly
days. The garter is the belt, the
sheath the holster, while the dainty
dagger takes the place of the old
six-shooter.
Friends of Premier Asquith con
sider that he was fortunate that the
custom has not spread over the
United Kingdom this week, when he
was savagely attacked and sorely
beaten and scratched by two suf
fragettes near Elgin, Scotland, where
he has been gtpending the summer.
Premier Saved by Daughter.
So fierce was the attack that the
Premier is now confined to his room
at Hopeman Lodge and he probably
owes his escape from more serious
hurts solely to the courage of his
daughter, Violet.
The assault occurred while the Pre
mier and his daughter were playing
a game of golf at the Lossiemout
Golf Club. The ^ame was nearly fin
ished and the Premier was about
to make a shot at the seventeenth
hole w r hen, with wild shrieks, two suf
fragettes flung themselves on his
back. The Premier was too dumb
founded to move. The women com
menced clawing and battering him
and tearing his clothes off his back.
The fierce attack rendered the Pre
mier helpless. His daughter at the
time was a few yards away, but 9he
hurled herself at th^ women and a
struggle began with the Premier in
the center of the storm.
Ninth Attack on Asquith.
The suffragettes indiscriminately
punched and scratched the Premier
and his daughter, while the latter
struck right and left at the women.
After several minutes of scuffling the
daughter seized one of the women
and threw' her heavily to the ground.
Detectives and a crowd of golfers
came up, attracted by the screams
of the women and put an end to the
assault.
The Premier feebly finished his
game, but went home immediately
afterwards with his daughter, both
showing plentiful marks of the re
cent conflict. The crowd tried to
throw the two women into the sea.
This is the ninth recorded time that
suffragettes have assaulted Mr. As
quith.

ROME, Aug. 30.—From King down
to the humblest citizen, all Italy is
engaged in making Verdi’s birth cen
tenary the greatest national event of
the y'jdr.
The celebration, which began a
week ago at Parma, near which place
the great composer was born, will
continue the w’hole month of Sep
tember in every town in the king
dom. Great as was the success w’hlch
attended Verdi's work during his life
time, nothing better reveals the ex
alted place he occupies in the hearts
of the people of Italy than the present
celebration, in which the entire na
tion is participating with unprece
dented enthusiasm.
Impartial observers remark that
even the golden jubilee of Italy’s in
dependence in 1011 failed to arouse
the enthusiasm of the nation to the
extent that the Verdi centenary does.
Stars Offer Their Services.
One of the features of the celebra
tion is the large number of lyrical
artists who have volunteered their
services for the production of the
w r hole Verdi repertoire, comprising
more than a hundred operas, in the
Fornese Theater at Parma. Just now
Conductors Toscanini and Campanini.
who are both from Parma, are at
the head of the largest lyrical com
pany ever assembled in any part of
the world.
It has 70 stars including Adelina
Patti, wljose devotion to the dead
composer outlived her days on the
stage, and Caruso, to w’hoin, one day
in Milan. Verdi predicted a brilliant
future.
Other artists of world-wide fame
here who are to sing the roi«*j they
helped to create are Cavallerl, Caro
lyn White, Ricardo Martin, Allan
Hinkley, Adelina Agostinelli and bar
itones Sammarco, Titta, Ruffo and
Pin! Corsi.
The orchestra includes a hundred
professors from all the opera houses
and musical academies in Italy which
will be brought up to 500 on the day
that Verdi’s famous requiem mass is
to be given.
The centennial festivities began
with an open-air performance in the
old Roman arena of Verona, which
proved a great success and will be
soon followed by open-air represen
tations of other operav.
Forced to Give Five Plays.
The local authorities decided that
public interest demanded a second
performance of the Verdi master
piece. only to find a third necessary.
To-day the fifth is being arranged, so
great is the crowd.
The Queen Dow'ager, the Duke of
Abruzzi, the Count of Turin and a
large number of well-known persons
attended the unprecedented spectacle
at these performances.
The tenor, Zanacello, was “Ra-
dames” and Marie Gay was “Alda,”
while as many as 700 persons moved
at one time on the huge stage.
The Verdian exhibition of theatri
cal costumes of the sixth, seventh and
eighth centuries wap opened at Parma
by Public Education Minister Ore-
daro. It is attracting all music lov
ers, including hundreds of Americans.
Among the objects exhibited i c a
full orchestra of the year of 1600,
with life-size figures and musical in
struments of the time, lent by the
Florentine Museum. Other inter
esting exhibits are the manuscripts of
nearly all the Verdi operas and Ver
di’s own wardrobe, showing the court
dresG Verdi wore when on his periodi
cal tours of European courts.
Shaft To Be Unveiled.
Following close on the centenary
festivities, a monument, built by na
tional subscription, -will be unveiled
at Parma.
The site is in the square facing the
railroad station w r hich has been
transformed by nearly two hundred
columns extending for over six hun
dred feet. In the center is a statue
of music surrounded by twelve fig
ures representing the heroes and
heroines of Verdi’s most famous
operas.
The monument is the work of Hec
tor Ximines. who is the creator of
Varrazzanno monument in New York.
A second monument of Verdi will be
unveiled soon in San Francisco. Funds
for it were subscribed by Italians re
siding in California.

PARIS, Aug. 30.—Until this week
we have had no hot w’eather, but,
thanks to the rain which for so long
dampened Paris, the Bois, the parks
and some of the chief boulevards
show the greensward of the spring
time. Rarely has the city looked more
charming.
The trend of table talk is still di
rected toward the auarrel between M.
Bleriot and other distinguished avia*
tors and the managers of the French
Aero Club and the signs of activity
at the Opera Comique, the Folies
Bergere, Theater Franeais and the
ultra-modern Champs Elysees, where
rehearsals open on Monday for the
coming season.
The riots which within the past few
weeks have attended Saturday torch
light processions of various regiments
have greatly disturbed the Govern
ment. The hydra-headed snake of
anarchy, it seems, is scotched but
not killed.
Clemenceau Scores Ministry.
Non$ knows what might occur if
a great crisis arose in Paris; even
M. Clemenceau, whose patriotism
lately caused him to throw his in
fluence into the scale on behalf of
the new three-years’ service bill is
again agitating against the ministry,
which, according to the disorderly ele
ments, symbolizes militarism. He is
clamoring for the overthrow of Pre
mier Barthou.
Street after street of old pictur
esque Paris is being destroyed. The
Marais, of which Alphonse Daudet
wrote, is gradually vanishing and
buildings of the pretentious, modern
kind, with projecting windows and
huge doors of ne WMtyle are replac
ing even the houi»es of the Houss-
man period.
The venerable Boulevard St. Martin
shortly will be remodeled, and the
Butte Motftmartre already has been
half-covered yrtth smug bourgeoisie
structures.
Landmarks Fast Vanishing.
The spirit of architectural modern
ism is fast invading the French prov
inces, obliterating ancient landmarks
and changing the aspect of lung-
honored' monuments.
At Aigues Mortes, the strange town
in Southern France from which Saint
Louis sailed for the last crusade, the
time-stained fortress is to be dis
figured by an architectural excres
cence in the shape of a co-operative
wine store. And this is only one of
many instances of needless van
dalism.
Sarah Bernhardt has ended her
summer holiday, as usual, a rather
busy one. and is back at her theater,
which re-opened with a revival of

Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 30.—A strong protest
is being made against some of our
time-honored customs, such as men
kissing each other on the cheeks, los
ing time trying to send your friend in
or out of a door before you and ex
cessive handshaking.
It was all right for FYanklin and
Voltaire to give each other the ac
colade, or kiss on both cheeks, but
when Frenchmen and Americans kiss
each other nowadays at public ban
quets It looks like relics of the past.
Furthermore, it is generally admit
ted that we lose too much time trying
to send our friends in or out of doors
before us. We say, “After you. sir.”
If this is not effective, we add, “I
beg of you. *»ir.” Then we keep on
bowing to each other for about ten
minutes. Finally some one gives way
through shfer exhaustion.
We are beginning to recognize that
the American system whereby every
man tries to take the door first is the
best, except for those who want to
kill time.
Popular Artist Protests.
The curious custom of shaking
hands with one’s friends, no matter
how’ many times one may meet them
during the same day, is the object of
a quaint protest by one of our popu
lar artists, M. Poulbet.
At the door of the little Montmartre
Cafe, in which he and his cronies
foregather, he has caused to be sus
pended a hand in carved wood. When
M. Poulbet enters he goes to the
carved hand and gives it a vigorous
shake.
The result'of the action is to set up
a tremendous noise—caused by the
fact that at the other end of the
chain to which the hand 1s attached
there is a lot of scrap iron within the
hollow body of an old iron kettle.
The signal is interpreted by all
present to mean that M. Poulbet has
shaken hand* with all his friends, in
dividually and collectively. This plan
is killing handshaking.
Handshakes Discussed.
Discussing the pyschology of shak
ing hands, Dr. Cabanes, the well-
knowm w’riter, says:
“There are those who hold your
hand a prisoner with many little
pressures, compliments and flatteries.
Beware of them. Their smoothness
is perfidy. A hundred to one you are
in the presence of perfidy. You are
dealing with a hypocrite w’ho seeks to
take advantage of your dormant vigi
lance.
'There are those whose handshake
is dry, cold and hard. They give you
the sensation of a wooden hand. Do
not hope for friendship with them.
They are egotists; they will deceive.
No matter what you do, you will not
advance one step In their friendship.
“The complexion and temperature
of the hand also gives indications.
The hand which resists pressure an
nounces force, energy, activity. It is
that of a master. The too soft hand
speaks oversensitiveness; it means
lack of will power.”

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Aug. 30.—With the King
and Queen still at Balmoral and prac
tically everyone else in society as far
away as he or she can get, London
makes a poor figure socially these
days.
Were it not for the largo number of
Americans who are compelled to stay
here—in many cases much against
their inclinations owing to the im
possibility of obtaining early passage
home—the hotels, theaters and
tradesfolk would almost have to put
up their shutters. As it is, business
all around is flairlv brisk.
The Duchess of Marlborough, w’ho

cession of house parties for the shoot
ings and fishing.
The announcement that Ambassa
dor Page had taken No. 6 Grosvenor
square was received with great satis
faction in the country houses where
London society i? now congregated.
Mr. Page’s neighbors will be: On one
side, Lord Farquhar, one of the King's
most intimate friends, and on the oth
er side the Duchess of Manchester,
formerly Miss Helena Zimmerman. It
was her suggestion which attracted
the Ambassador's attention to the
house.
The house was taken furnished
from Colonel Granville Smith, but
will require much furnishing up, be
ing at present rather sparsely fur
nished. As the rooms are stately and
spacious, a little care should effect
wonders.
The Duchess of Roxburghe (for
merly Miss May Goelet), who is liv
ing quietly at her home just outside
of London, is aw’aiting the happy
event which is daily expected. She is
the only duchess who Is inclined to
support Lloyd George. The duchess
never formally joined the Liberal par
ty, but she makes no secret of her
Liberal sympathies. She has always
kept aloof from the various Tory or
ganizations of Roxburgheshire, the
county in w'hieh she chiefly resides.
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, who is in
bad health, has gone to Bad Nauheim
for the cure. Arthur and Reginald*

titled “Our everyday life.”
Lady Suffolk, nee Leiter, is enter
taining shooting parties at Loch
Luichart, In Scotland. She dislikes
London and is devoted to outdoor life
and all sports.
The Princess San Faustino, who
was a great success this season, has
gone to Venice, where Anthony Drex-
el and several other w r ell-known
Americans are expected soon.
There is little doing at the ^London

expected European conflagration will
occur within a year. He declare*
there must be no delay in patting the
three-year military law into opera
tion.
General FYu, of the Supreme Coun
cil of War, has given me an official
idea of the relative forces. The Gen
eral, w’ho lost an arm in the war of
1870, says:
“It is obvious we have to count on
quality even with the three-year mil
itary service. Germany now has
800,000 men on a peace footing. The
new law will bring us up to 650,000.
To those we add our excellent troops
in the colonies. Yet even there we
shall be in a minority. Turning to
the reserves, Germany has 4,370,000
men against our 3,978,000. This leave*
us in a minority of 400,000 men.
“It is true that African soldiers
can be brought, to Europe to fight for
France. The French Soudan supplies
the majority of our black soldiers.
“Our black army is slowly but sure
ly forming Itself in Africa. There are
20,000 Senegallans wearing the
French uniform. This body can be
easily Increased to 200,000. Employed
in Algeria and Morocco, they have
shown admirable qualities.
“The quality of troops depends
upon instruction and cohesion. These
we have. With the new law there
will be no more skeleton regiments.**
