HEBREWS RULE TWO TOWNS

One Is Angora in flouthwest and Other li Village in Central i American Btate. . Vienna. —Those Jews who dissent from the Zionist movement, with Mr. Zangwill at their head, have now found two new countries where Hebrew settlers could form a majority and so secure an autonomous administration. ' The advantages of these latest lands of promise are now under consideration. One of them is the Portuguese Colony of Angora, in southwest Africa, and /the other a Central American state which may not yet be mentioned as negotiations are still in progress. In this connection a congress of the Jewish territorial organization, with Mr. Zangwill in the chair, sat here for four days with closed doors. It was learned that Mr. Zangwill pointed out the great difficulties that had been encountered in finding a suitable country. In 1907, Turkey, fearing an Italian occupation, offered them Barca (or Cyrenaica), the eastern division of Tripoli, but this proved unsuitable for colonization owing to the lack of water.
