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."

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. Expect Arab Attacks. 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 Many Duplicate Gifts. (Continued on Page 7) Those in charge of the campaign declared that never before had so many persons interested them,:ves in raising the desired amount. :■imbers of the police department contributed $11,500; pupils at the various schools contributed their mite by the sale of waste paper; the working classes, es- pecially, cognizant of the trials that the winter would bring to the, out of employment and less fortunate than themselves, contributed largely.
