'rusalem's Fall Means Much
to Zionist Movement.
Portland leaders of Jewish thought to
day beard the news 'of the capture of
Jerusalem with unconcealed Joy. That
a hope, deferred for 2000 years. Is about
to be realised was the impression. . .
Dr. N. Mosessohn. editor of the Jewish
Tribune, and formerly a leading rabbi
of 'the Hebrew church, said:
Tbls Is the greatest good tidings that
have come to the- Jews In 2000 years,
elace the destruction of their common
wealth. "After the promise made by the Brit
ish government to restore Palestine to
the Jews, we have looked for this happy
consummation ef their - military efforts
In that region. This restoration of the
land without a people to the people
without a land' has been prayed fer
thrice daily by all orthodox Jews
through many generations.
The so-called Zionist movement which

desire of the Jews for a renewal of Jew

lem's fall la a tremendous personal de
feat for Kaiser WUbelm. ; It must In
evitably lower his prestige among th
Turkish people. They had been led to
believe on solemn royal assurances that

large a German army as necessary to
drive back the British and protect the
Moslems, to whom the ksiser has al
ways appealed as their own particular
protector.
In IMS the kaiser made a special trip

even then was dreaming of German dom
