THE JEWISH HERALD


and plenty. We can all appreciate
the feeling which arouses when the
nation calls to it's sons in time of
war; when the spirit within us is
aroused and the glory of our country
is demanding something, even our life
that the nation may survive. But in
peace. with sham battles, camp life
and society, what do we find? Only
this week we are startled by the &C
ton of Colonel Joseph Garard, COM
handing Fort Myers, which lies
under the shadow of the Washington
monument, whose pure white shaft
seems to penetrate the clouds emble-
matte of the spirit whom it honors

ME to commend them in testimonials
of love that will ever remain; yet
within sight of the nations capitol we
find an officer whose main duty is
dress parade and the fulfillment of his
social obligations, endorsing an APP
plication of a young Jewish soldier
named Bloom for promotion in the fol
lowing manner:
THE applicant is a son of Joseph
A. Bloom, of Jewish persuasion.
The young man is honest and upright,
ambitious and probably deserving, but

perience Of many years | have found,

President Taft, displaying that
broad minded craftsmanship which
has created for him a respect and
love from all right minded people,
upon having his attention called to the
matter, directed the following letter to
the Secretary of War:

The Jews of America will certainly
join with the American people, with
out regard to race or creed, in the
celebration of the Golden Jubilee &C
corded to Cardinal Gibbons of the
Catholic Church.
In this age and in this land race
or creed can no longer create preju-
dice, but rather all in common unite
in doing honor to those entitled to be
honored. Differing as we do in our
religions, yet in the man to be hon
ored we find one who at all times
gave voice and denounced the out
RACES of Russia upon it's Jewish citi-
zens a man who is not blinded by his
religion and whose heart went out in
sympathy to those oppressed.
May he in full vigor receive the
grateful offering of loyal American
people and the Creator grant to him
many years of enjoyment and useful
ness.

sTRAus AGAINST WAR LOANS.

The Hon. Oscar S. Straus, member
of the Hague Court, spoke on "Busi-
ness and International Arbitration"
on May 26 at the Lake Mohonk Con-
ference on International Arbitration,
which was denounced last week by DR..
S. S. Wise, for holding it's sessions
in a hotel which excludes Jews dur
ing the summer months.
Mr.. Straus said that great step for
ward would be to make it Unlawful
for neutral nations or their subjects
to issue war loans or sell munitions
of war to belligeraent powers.
when commerce was identified
with piracy" he said, land subse-
quently with the utter disregard of
neutral rights, it was continually a
source of irritation and aggravated the
militant spirit between nations, but
with the growth of modern industrial
development and the extension of
foreign trade nations no longer find it
profitable to be hostile to one an
other because of their prosperity.
at is largely due to the vast ex-
tension of commercial intercourse be-
tween nations in our times, which rest
upon reciprocity that the standard of
public morals has been lifted from the
lower sphere of international expe-
diency to the higher sphere Of
morality and law. The Russo-Japa
nese war would certainly have come
to an earlier end if neither belliger.
ent could have borrowed money from
the subjects of neutrals."
