PRESIDENT HARDIN(;
LAUDS SIMON W()LF
Greets Jewish Leader on Occasion of
His Eighty-Fifth Birthday .
WASHINGTON. — 1,1. T. ..1.) —
President Harding, invited to attend
the services of the Washington He-
brew Congregation in honor sf the
eighty-fifth birthday of Simon Wolf
on Oct. 28, has written a letter in
which he regretted that a trip to th e
South will make it impossible for him
to attend the ceremonies, but ex-
pressed profound admiration for the
life and work of Simon Wolf. The
text of the letter written to Mr.
Baumgarten, president of the con-
gregation, follows:
"I find myself regretting deeply
that another engagement in pursu-
ance of which I shall be in a distant
part of the country at the time of
your services, makes it impossible for
me to be with you. Likewise I find
it difficult to realize that NIr. Wolf,
despite that I can hardly remember
the time when he was not one of the
eminent and trusted leaders of our
civic life, has attained such an age.
It is impossible to think of him as
anything but a young, an eternally
active, a working American. His is
the spirit of everlasting youth and
usefulness and in expressing my pro-
found regrets that I will not be able
to be with those who will greet him,
I want at least to have you express
my wish that many . more years of
the same activity and us
efulness may
be vouchsafed to him."

SMUTS SEES BRIGHT
FUTURE FOR ZIONISM
Hughes' Note; Ask Mandate
Ratification.
LONDON.— (J. C. B.) — General
Jan Smuts, premier of South Africa,
has, according to a dispatch from
Johannesburg, sent a statement to the
South African Zionist Association in
which he declares that the British
policy of creating a Jewish homeland
in Palestine will certainly be carried
out. In the past, he says, some dif-
ficulties have been experimented, but
forthcoming administrative changes I
will give the policy a fairer chance of
materialization.
Smuts reported a conversation with
Dr. Chaim Weizmann in England, in
which the Zionist leader expressed his
satisfaction with the achievements of
the British in Palestine.
In Zionist circles here, there is com-
plete agreement with the proposals
made in Secretary Hughes' last note
to the Supreme Council, asking for
equal commercial privileges and an
"open door" in Palestine. The Zion-
ists feel that such an arrangement.
will be beneficial to the development
of the Holy Land and have no objec-
tion to its adoption.
Want Immediate Ratification.
They do, however, feel that the
Mandate in its present form should
be ratified immediately by the League
of Nations and that then, after
negotiations, the II ughes' proposals
are accepted, they ran be incorporated
in the Mandate.
Col. F. It. Petersen, the commander
of the Jewish Legion in Palestine,
leaves for America in Nov. 5, together
with the numbers of the Zionist Reran
Ilayesod delegation. Col. Paterson is
the organizer of the Zion Mule Corps
is Gallipoli, of which Joseph Trumpel-
dor was captain. Paterson has writ-
ten a book on his activities in Gal-
lipoli, entitled With the Zionists in
Gallipoli," and is working on a second
book, "With the Zionist Legion in
Palestine."
The well-known Russian Zionist, Dr.
Alexander Goldstein, is cooling to
America with Col. Paterson.

Reports from Jerusalem and other
sections of Palestine indicate that a
COMMUNITY FUND
TO REACH QUOTA
SAY CAMPAIGNERS
$150,000 Lacking May Be Obtained;
Welt's Division Exceeds Amount;
Jews Large Givers.
"Detroit has awakened to the need
for community giving," declared Gor-
don A. Damon, executive secretary of
the Detroit Community Fund at the
close of the 1921-22 drive Wednes-
day.
"The idea of a community fund with
its scientific and efficient management
of charities is always slow to be re-
ceived. Under the old system, each in-
stitution depended for its support on
making an emotional appeal. The
present method must make its appeal
to the reason rather than to sentiment,
but that it has been successful is evi-
denced by the fact that 98,000 individ-
uals this year subscribed to the main-
tenance of the 65 charities supported
by the Community Fund as compared
with 50,000 last year.
"It is indeed to be deplored that we
fell short of our puota of $2,350,000 by
nearly $150,000, but final reports re-
ceived at noon Wednesday indicated
that this sum would probably be made
up within a few weeks, perhaps a few
days, since all the factories solicited
have not, as yet, been heard from.
"The result achieved, however, is a
glorious tribute to Detroit citizenship.
The publicity given, during the cam-
paign to the work of the Community
Fund, has, I believe, brought home its
mission to the hearts and minds of De-
troiters and can not fail to have a
beneficial effect on the campaigns of
the f utu re."
Mr. Damon complimented the team
captains as well as their supporters in
the drive. He mentioned especially
the work of Melville S. Welt, head of
Team A who was first to exceed the
quota for his district. Mr. Writ an-
nounced that his team's quota of $233,
000 had been exceeded by nearly
