This machine fought both the consolidation bill and the amend

PEACE
city.

S a sequel of the glorious cruise
n and triumphant welcome home of
L n the American fleet, the Hebrews
of the eastern United States have
started a great peace movement. Inas-
much as the Hebrew bankers of the
world have financed many of the
greater wars of modern times, we be-
lieve the movement is most significant.
We shall not question the motive, al
though we know many citizens may
ascribe it to thrift; to natural desire
on the part of the Hebrews, who are
noted for canniness, to stop what they
apparently consider to be a most de-
plorable and extravagant waste of
money which, according to their no.
tions, if invested profitably could be
earning handsome returns or interest
and giving employment to far more
citizens than are employed by the cap
ital invested in the fleet.
Rabbi Pereira Mendes, one of the
best known Hebrews in New York, is
a leader in the peace movement. In a
letter published in the New York
newspapers he wrote: What is true
greatness? The whole country is ring
ing with the echoes of the guns of the
great American fleet which has con-
cluded it's great world cruise for the
great purpose of impressing our great
ness upon all nations, great and small.
How great it all is and how great is
the civilization which tolerates, requires
and applauds such greatness After
ALL it means the rule of brute force.
1t is denial OF peace on earth, a
refutation of good will to all men. 1t
slaps Christianity in the face. 1t in
suits Judaism. The question is asked,
Is this a Christian country? We have
only to point to the American fleet, etc.,
to find an answer If this is Christianity,
what sane Hebrew wants it? We be-
lieve it is ridiculous, un-Christian, un-
Jewish. unmanly, to profess a religion
of love of God and trust in him and
follow it with hate of man and distrust
in him."
Although many good citizens will
chafe and fret under the singing crit
icism of the great rabbi, wisdom's part
is to consider his words seriously, and
if there is really existing in our civ
ilization a condition which reduces to
absurdlty the claims of the millions
of citizens who profess the Christian
religion it is time to be up and doing,
instead of sitting sulking at the out
spoken rabbi.
But what would he substitute for ar
mics and navies? He represents the
most practical of all races, and there
fore is ready with suggestions. DR..
Mendes presents three, which are as
follows: Il. A supreme international
court of arbitration to which all inter-
national disputes, not may, but MUST.
be taken. 2. The civilized nations to
bind themselves to BOYCOTT COM
mercially, socially and in every way
any nation that does not bow to the
decision of that court. 3. The court to

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS

Il OS. ANGELES manual training
l high school will add a useful in
IA stitution to the educational equip
ment of Los Angeles. which is the edu-
cational center of the southwest, and
in many respects the leading educa-
tional city of all the west. The new
school will accommodate 1900 pupils,
who will receive a high school course in
English branches. In addition, how
ever, boys will be trained in the use of
hand tools, and girls will learn domes-
tic science and arts.
The girls will be educated with the
idea they intend to devote themselves
to what is after all woman's chief and
noblest duty in this world-home-
making.
Burns was right when he said that
in a happy home are comprised the true
pathos and sublime of human life.
Every home is a microcosm, an epitome
of the great world outside. 1t illus
trates government, society and all the
various elements that make up social
life. Therefore. with happy homes,
