, Thnt is a separate question, "What I do
wish to point out, however, Is how far
the nations are forced, when they find

j take Into consideration the power of the

I because the entire world sits In Judg
I ment, and history may come to collect
' old debts.
As an example we see that even the
eminent has suddenly be-
e and u.ive to the fact that
Jewis'.i soldiers are sacrificing their lives
in this war. This war was necessary In
nrdr to open Its eyes to see that seven
million Jews in its domains arc also
human beings. At present, however, the
Itiiflan Government Is making onl
promise', and these under a 'blind ad
dress.' She has them announced through
anonmous sources in Copenhagen. But
this Is characteristic of war times. Even
the great bear has bestirred itself and
begun to heed public opinion."
Speaking of the attitude of the Jews
throughout the world to the war, ho
aid:
"But as the Jews are scattered through
out the world, and they must tight
brother against brother. It Is quite hard
to apportion their sympathies. It is al
most commendable that Germany is not
angered with the KusMan Jewish sol
diers, and Russia with Its German and
Austrian Jewish soldiers. England, how
eer, desires greatly that all Jews who
are not taking a definite side In the war
should sympathize with England and
with England's caut".
"It appears strange that at this time
there Is no united Jewish public opinion
jn the present war. The Jewish opinion
i greutly scatwea because the Jewish
nation is scattered."
Dr. Lovin also spoke of the terrible
conditions in Pa!etltic as a result of the
war. Palestine is dependent for Its ex
istence upon the rest of the world. And

that her suggestions have been brusepjely

annexation of the captured territory, has
been In Antwerp. He went there. It Is

LONDON, Sept. 14.
Hemmed In on three sides of the dis

a German army Is today In a serlouB
predicament nnd awaits either capture or

On their front are the victorious squad

with their formidable garrisons, while on
their right to the west are tho rapidly
approaching army of Belgians. Only
to the rear lies safety, and tho nature of
the country Is such that a rapid retreat
means a virtual tout.
The only source of supplies for this
army Is their base of Elcge and should
the Belgians appear in sufficient force
evea this thin ltuu of communication will
be broken.
The loss of the line of communica
