Columbus and the Jews.

DIR. Madison C. Peters, a well-known
New York clergyman and author, is
weli-known for his writings on the
history of the Jewish race and in his
latest book he seeks in ingenious
fashion to give the Jews large share
of the credit for the discovery of
America by Columbus. While every
body recognizes the great influence of
the Jewish race upon the worlds
history, no historian has ever told us
that they figured extensively in the
achievements of Columbus. Accord
ing to the curious story which DR..
Peters tells. Columbus, after exhaust
ing every means Of securing financial
backing for his daring voyage of dis
covery, and having been dismissed by
Isabella, his last resource, was recalled
by Isabella at the instigation of Luis
Santangel, a Spanish Marine, or secret
Jew, who advanced 1900 ducats from
the treasury of Aragon, of which he
was the comptroller general This
contradicts the pretty story that Isa-
bella pawned the crown jewels. The
crews of the three caravels were
recruited chiefly from the Spanish
jails. as free men who were willing to
risk their lives on the voyage were
scarce The JAIL; were filled with the
members of the prosecuted Jewish
race, to whom it was no disgrace that
they were in prison. DR.. Peters proves
that one out of every four of the men
who discovered America under
Columbus was a Jew.
II all this is true, and DR.. Peters
certainly has the reputation of man
to be relied upon, then Americas debt
to the Jewish race is greater than has
been supposed. The story gives
special emphasis to the appeal of
Jacob H. Shelf. the distinguished New
York banker. who recently counselled
the people of the Jewish race to look
upon this country as their permanent
abiding place rather than as a
temporary shelter while indulging in
their dream of regaining their lost
Zion.

Accidents in Naval Practice.

What chorus of II told you so''
would have been raised ii an accident
costing half a hundred lives had hap
pened IN connection with the voyage
of our battleship fleet from Atlantic
to Pacific waters or during its target
practice at Magdalena Bay. Yet such
an accident happened last week during
the practice of the British fleet in home
waters and the world, while OF course
deploring such a tragedy, looks upon
it as an accident in the great game Of
maintaining peace by keeping con-
stantly ready for war.
The sinking of the British torpedo
boat Tiger by the cruiser Berwick
was due to miscalculation in the
darkness. There is a special horror to
such an accident in time Of peace, for
if such a loss occurred in war it would
be expected as part of the inevitable
But the affair shows that the navy of
England, the greatest and most power
full of the world, is constantly training
for the real thing, and unless the men
worked their ships and worked with
their ships as they would under the
exact conditions of war, they would
not be able to bring out the full eff
ficiency of both men and ships. Naval
practice work involves every danger
of naval battles except that which
comes from the explosion of hostile
shells.
Every navy has it's accidents. Our
own has had few of them and some
navies, notably the French. have had
very many The immunity of our great
battleship fleet from serious accidents
or untoward incidents OF any kind
thus far in it's long cruise and gunnery
practice is little less than wonderful
and the nation prays that such i'm
munity may continue during the
months to come. And yet there are
some Americans, chronic grumblers,
who would find a lot of grim satisfac-
zion if something should happen to
give them an excuse for saying that
they predicted disaster in connection
with the fleets long voyage.
