Paris Jews KNOCK" on Third

BECAUSE HE'S A JEW
Old Duchess DIVES Leads the
Fight
BECAUSE HE'S A JEW

Paris, June pa curious manifesto
ton of anti-Jewish feeling in France, and
one which directly concerns the United
States, has just shown itself. 1t mani
tests itself in the form of opposition to
Mr. Lewis Einstein of New York, who
has recently been appointed Third Score
tary OF the United States embassy at
Paris.
Mr.. Einstein is well fitted for the place,
especially from a linguistic point of
view. But he is a Jew, and certain old
Duchesses and extreme Nationalist pre-
tend that he is not persona grata to the
French nation.
One or two of the Nationalist papers
have talked about the bad taste of the
Government in sending a Jew to the
United States embassy at Paris. The
oppoition is exceptional because the ques-
ton of being an acceptable person or
otherwise has hitherto been confined to
the Ambassador or the minister or the
diplomatic agent.
No one has ever thought of asking
whether the third secretary of an en-
bassy is a persona grata or not. The
existing French government is not anti
Jewish and it is not likely that NJ. Del
casse the minister of foreign affairs,
will be influenced by two irresponsible
newspapers or by the opinion of a society
clique the head of which is the restless
old Duchess dUzes.

biscuits The soldiers aver that the bis
cults were almost as hard as granite,
and that il was impossible 10 eat them
unless they were soaked over night or
boiled in fat. Instances are numerous
of men whose teeth were broken TO pieces
and who came home with a mouth full
of jagged edges.
But according to this official dentist,
the War Office starts at the wrong end,
so far as soldiers enlisted since the war
are concerned. The War Office idea is
that these men shall wait until they are
incapacitated for want of sound teeth
and then be sent to the dentist for a new
set The dentists experience is that men
with one or two decayed teeth are not
sent to have their teeth repaired, and the
repair of teeth is not part of the new
plan.
New sets of false teeth for old sets of
natural ones is the War Office idea
What ought to be done, in professional
opinion is TO appoint dentists who shall
regularly examine the teeth Of every
soldier in the army-twice a year-and
keep the mems teeth in good repair. Re
cruits have TO possess a sufficient number
of good teeth on joining the army, and
the obvious thing to do would be to pre-
vent their teeth from decaying.
