REPRESENTS EFFORT OF LIFETIME'

Much opposition greeted this
proposal. The time was not yet
ripe, was said: there were legal
difficulties in the way; funds
should not be collected before the
right form of juristic personality
had been found for the Keren
Kayemeth. The debate was long
and stormy, lasting six hours. The
vast majority were against the
proposal. Yet in the end Ilerzl
triumphed. The formula was
found which satisfied the opposi-
, tion and at the afternoon session
the Keren Kayemeth was estab-
lished amidst tremendous enthusi-
' asm and with the support of all
delegates. At the same session a
beginning was made of the col-
lecting activities of the Fund and
the first large sum was contrib-
uted by Ilerzl himself. How right
Herzl was in demanding the ac-
ceptance of his proposal is proved
by the fact that the final incor-
poration of the J. N. F. took place
only six years later, in 1907. The
J. N. F. had by then collected
£70,000 and had already begun its
practical work in Palestine.

This is the story of Walter
Michaelson, of German-Jewish des-
cent, with an enviable reputation
aaan attorney and of great prom-
ietolwAmerican political life. This
is the first chapter In our hero's
life. The second chapter forms the
story in "The Disinherited."
Walter is the grandson of a toy-,
al Jew, but he has so far drifted
from his faith to marry a Gentile
and to forget his people. "Cer-
tainly," the author tells us, "Solo-
mon's religion had not been includ-
ed amongst his bequests to his son.
To the latter the former had be-
queathed a liberal education, pos-
sessions and a position of respect
in the community. Jacob had add-
ed to these by intellectual curiosity,
industry and a high ethical code.
He had been a good son, despite
his neglect of his father's creed.
Walter knew, he could not say
how, that his father had in his
youth put by a passionate roman.'

tal hurt which his marriage to a
