AMERICA ABSORBING JEWS
HOPE OF REUNITED RACE LOST
HERE.
Israel Zangwlll - Declares United
Slates Counteracts Erforts of Jew
ish Territorial Organization.
LONDON. Och 26. W. R. Wheeler,
who In a member of the commission ap
pointed by President Roosevelt to visit
foreign countries for the purpose of
' studying matters bearing on the
American immigration problem, sailed
for America Wednesday on the Adri
atic. ,
A Tew daysbefore he left England
he .had an Interesting interview with
lurael Zangwlll. the novelist, who is
the president of the Jewish "territorial
organization. He saw Mr. Zangwlll at
the letter's home in Worthing: where
he and Mrs. Wheeler were entertained
over night.
Speaking of Mr. ZangwiU's views
touching the emigration of Jews to
America. Mr. Wheeler said:
'Mr. Zangwlll feelo that every Jew
who goes to America makes more dis
tant the realization of his dream of a
reunited and rcnationalized Jewish
race.
"In his opinion, America absorbs
Jews into her citizenship more rapidly
than they are absorbed into the citizen
ship of any other country, to -which they
emigrate. America, therefore, does
more to counteract the efforts of the
Jewish territorial organization than
any other country.
"Mr. Zangwlll says he finds it takes
only a comparatively short time for the
Jew to lose most of his racial charac
teristics once he gets to America. The
same sort of thing takes place in Eng
land, but not to so pronounced a de
gree, nor to the same effect.
"But with all this said, I must add
that Mr. Zangwlll feels that as matters
now stand with his race, America Is a
better home for the Jew than most
countries.
"Speaking of the hard lot of the
Russiun Jews, Mr. Zangwlll pointed out
that his was a people that always did
its best when it had a fight against
great difficulties. This characteristic
of the Jew reminded, him of the ancient
fable of the contest between the sun
nnd wind, as to which should strip the
traveler, of his coat."
On the question of Irish emigration
to America Mr. Wheeler had an inter
view with the Earl of Meath, who took
the view that no efforts should be
made to stem the flow of the Irish
people to the United States, because
they were better able to judge for
themselves than anybody else would be
the advantages and disadvantages in
volved In tho emigration.
Mr. Wheeler also visited Russia,
Hcandinavla, Austria and Hungary.
SpeakiDg In a general way concerning
his investigation, he said:
"I find that the success of the Ameri
can scheme of absorbing thousands of
foreigners every year depends on care
ful attention to individual cases, and
that no broad rule can be laid down as
to which are desirable immigrants. In
my travels I found no class of people
that would not make good American
citizens; but many individuals of those
clauses would not be desirable.
"I believe the real problem for us
will be the distribution of our immi
grants. Our commission will hold sev
eral meetings within the next few
weeks at which we shall compare notes
on our investigation abroad and pre
pare our report."
LIVELY SONS OF : PRINCE
Royal Youths Play All tay After
a Long Ride.
LONDON, Oct. 26. Probably there are
no more keenly enthusiastic boys in Lon
don than the sons of the Prince and
Princess of Wales.
At 8 o'clock In the morning Prince
Albert, Prince Henry, Prince George and
Prince John arrived at Huston station,
after an all night Journey In the train
from Ballater, In Scotland.
As they stepped briskly out of the train
they showed not the slightest sign of fa
tigue. Indeed, Judging by their merri
ment, they were as fresh and high
spirited as though they had slept com
fortably in their own beds at home. They
were at once driven to Marlborough
house, where they had breakfast.
The average traveler after such a long
train journey would no doubt feel inclined
for peaceful repose. Not so the young
Princes. They had no sooner finished their
breakfast than they raced into the grounds
and played diabolo with a skill really re
markable for boys so young. At 11
o'clock they all mounted the wall over
looking St. James' palace and watched
the picturesque ceremony of changing the
guard.
Prince Henry, who, like Prince Albert,
was dressed in a tweed suit and cap, kept
his diabolo set in his hands as he looked
on, but Prince George, in a sailor suit,
and little Prince John, In a Scottish
costume, put their new and fascinating
playthings on one side while they watched
the soldiers.
After the Interesting ceremony was over
the young Princes jumped down from the
wall and ran off to receive two hours' In
struction from their tutor.
ONE REDEEMING FEATURE
American Cooking Barbaric Except
Clam Chowder, Says Royal Chef.
BERLIN, Oct. 26. Albert Neumann.
chef to her Imperial Highness the Prus
sian Crown Princess Cecilie, has returned
from a tour in America a disappointed
man.
He was dispatched to the land of unlim
ited possibilities to search high an., low
tor some culinary delicacies better than
anything made in Germany, and all he
brought back worthy of imitation, he
ports. Is the clam chowder.
Altogether he found American cooking
devoid of novelty or especial excellence
He says the only good American cooking
Is French. Indeed, he says that the real
American cooking is simply barbaric
always excepting the clam chowder,
which he hopes to make a favorite dish
at the frown Princess table.
Herr Neumann was racier astonished at
the failure of the American hotel cooks
to achieve distinction, for he found they
had everything to do It with. The great
New Tor- hotels, he says, have kitchen
arrangements which for extensiveness.
cleanliness and completeness equal those
of the finest royal palaces In Europe.

"Beg pardon, sir," said the latter, "but
I fail to grasp the intricacies of your

"You know what coffee Is?"
"Yes. sir."
"Well, sinkers are doughnuts."
The waiter smiled frostily.
"Beg pardon, sir," he said, "but in this
establishment we always allude to them
as submarines.' ;

Civilization Rotten to Core and Com
petitive System Relic of Jun
. gle. Declares the Author.
LONDON, Oct. "26. Jerome K. Je
rome, the author, delivered a pppech a
few evenings af?o at the Whitefleld
Tabernacle and indulged In ome ex
tremely pessimistic views on the pres
ent social and economic conditions. His
subject was, "The Troubles of a Well
Fed Man." He. said he personally had
little to complain of, but he could not
blind himself to the lot of others not
so fortunate whom ho aw all around
him. ,
To a correspondent Mr. Jerome gav,
a more particular elucidation of his
philosophic reflections on the subject.
"Look at the hopeless case of the
average laboring class." said Mr. Je
rome. "They love and marry and face
the certainty of the uncertainty of ex
istence. Their whole chance of living
depends upon the good will land for
tune of some one else, and they never
know when they are going to be out
of the employment which i necessary
for the keeping up of the home.
"One-quarter of those who Inevitably
come into unemployment drift down to
the dregs and are of the class of those
found nightly on the Embankment. It
is a hopeless outlook for their old age.
How can a man save anything on an
average wage of $7.50 weekly when
he has to bring up a wife and family
on it?
"There is nothing you can do for
him. What is the good of charity? It
only ' goes back Into the rich people's
pockets. Round about my home no la
boring man can live on his wage, and
every one helps him to live, so that the
farmer gets him at a price he would
not otherwise be able to obtain him
for.
"If I give a loaf to a man I give it
to his employer, who pays him perhaps
$3.15 a week and leaves the rest to the
charity of the people round about. It
Is a ghastly situation. Charity is giv
en not to the poor, but to the rich., It
is like giving a halfpenny to the organ
grinder's monkey the man behind the
organ geta the coin, not the monkey.
"I claim that the whole personal ex
istence of civilization is a wholesale
scheme of robbery. 'Everybody is rob
bing everybody else. You can see It
in the advertisement of goods for sale.
An honest tradesman could not keep
his shop open for a week. If he dealt
fairly .and told the truth he would go
to the wall. ' 1 ' .
"No one can exist on boneety. The
world is a den of thieves in which each
cheats the other. Tou begin at the- big
landowner and come down to the laborer
and the seamstress, who cannot carry
it any further it is all cheating..
"The whole system of civilization,
from the very foundation, is rotten to
its core.. The competitive system in
vogue was got from the jungle, and
ought to have been left behind when
we left our tail there. It was all
right for cave men. but the moment
one cave man shook hands with an
other it went to the wall."

COCOA GROWN BY SLAVES
Thousands Work on Islands Con
trolled by Portugal.
LONDON, Oct. 26. Light on the slavery
carried on by the Portuguese in Angola
and the adjacent islands of San Thome
and Principe was shown by W. ,H.
Nevinson. addressing the African trade
section of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce.
He said that one-fifth of the world's
cocoa supply was grown in the Islands of
San Thome and Principe, and three great
cocoa manufacturers- in Great Britain,
who take one-third or one-fourth of that
quantity, thus practlcallly. though unwit
tingly, employed one-third of the slaves
in those islands.
The price of slaves had risen lately;
which might account for the recent in
creased price of cocoa. Slaves were too
expensive to be altogether badly treated,
but they were kept at work all day
and beaten by gangers if they relaxed
their Industry. A large number of big
dogs were also kept on the plantations
to prevent the slaves from running away.
If the number of slaves known to be
at hirge numbered ten they might be
hunted down by a regularly organized
force. The unfavorable climatic condi
tions and the' unhappiness of the slaves'
lot militated against long life.
On an average 4000 persons were ship
ped every year to the islands named, and
Itwas estimated that there were at pres
ent nearly 45,000 slaves at work on .San
Thome alone. No case had been' known
of a man slave being returned to his own
country.
After discussion the African trade sec
tion of the Chamber sent a telegram to
