From the German Delegation.

Monday Morning Session.

Opening at 10 o'clock.

President Dr. Herzl, the assembly rising from their seats, commemorates the distinguished Zionists of the following countries who have died since the last Congress:

Germany: Rabbi Dr. Rülf, Hermann Gabriel Berlin; Russia: Friedberg, Dr. Hüllstern, Editor Landau, Director Sachs; Paris: Mrs. Lubezky; Roumania: Daniel Feinberg, Weintraub, Jos. Robitschek, Salomonowitsch, Vice-President Levy, Bucharest. America: the Reverend Dr. Gustav Gottheil, Rabbi Dr. Szold, Prof. Dr. Friedenwald, the writer Reichersohn.
