POINTS TO WORLDS
DEBT TO HEBREWS
Rabbi Simon's Passover Ser
mon Discusses ThreefoId
Gift at Temple Service.

The world is indebted to the Hcbraic
people for three great principles--lib-
erty. justice. and a true conception Of
God, said the Rev. DR.. Abram Simon
in his Passover sermon at the Eighth
Street Temple this morning, the scrv-
ice being one of the largest that will
mark the seven-day Celebra ton.
With the increase of liberty. espe-
cially IN America, said Rabbi Simon.
the race is prone to forget the teach
ings of its religion, adding that pre-
secution made heroes of our fcrefathers
but it is making of us cheap tin SOL
diers.
THE Jews were the first people born
in liberty" said the rabbi. They were
not the first to think Of liberty, but
they first sang the song Of political and
civic liberty, and ever since that time
liberty has spoken with a Jewish ac-
cent. Our doctrine Is Lincolnian, be-
cause it was conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the tremendous doctrine
of unity in God.
The Jews have also given to the
world a new conception of justice.
Some may call it righteousness, holi-
ness. Gods salvation, or the ideal OF
the Messiah, but the Jew knows that
the strongest claim of social life Is JUS
tce. We do not harp much on love
and pity or the more sentimental viz
tues, for we know that if genuine JUS
tice were done there would be little
need for philanthropy or charity. The
Jew has not asked the world for love
or pity or sympathy, but it has asked
for justice.
Our third gift to the world was a
sublimer and a purer conception of God
than it had ever known. Even for
this one gift the world should have
g ven the Jew every decent and proper
consideration that it could. These
three great things are vital to us. virtu-
to civilization, and vital to our religion.
And each of them first saw the light
when the Jews went forth out Of
Egypt"
Services were also held at the Adas
Israel Temple this morning by the
Rev. DR.. Benajmin l.. Grossman, and
there will be meetings there this aft
ernoon and evening. The Rev. George
SilverstOne will conduct Passover serv-
ices throughout the week at Ahvos
Solem Synagogue, Fifth and l streets

Administration Officials,
Silent, Expect Alabama
To Safeguard the Eitel

Navy, State, and Treasury officials
were again silent today on the ques-
tion whether the Prinz Eitel Friedrich
is to intern or dash to sea.
However, Secretary Daniels. Of the
Navy Department, evinced much salts
faction over the fact the Alabama Is
now at Hampton Roads. where she ar
rived today, and that this Government
Is prepared to prevent arv violation of
neutrality either by the itel or by the
o-French squadron which is lying
in wait for the Eitel off the Virginia
capes.
1t is known that officials here arc
of the opinion the German raider will
intern. They cannot believe that the
German government will permit good
snip to be sacrificed to certain destruc-
tion for nothing but a spectacular exit
from Hampton Roads in the jaws of the
british and French cruisers.
Reports from several sources are
that one of the reasons the Alabama
was sent to Hampton Roads was that
British cruiser recently violated neu-
traltty by entering into the waters
about the capes, inside the three-mle
limit
reason he dispatched the Alabama was
that he wanted an ample force at
Hampton Roads to insure no violation
of neutrality. though nothing had oc-
CURED to show it was contemplated
He simply wanted to be prepared
He said there was the further reason
that there have been criticisms in Con-
gress about the time it would take to
get the vessels of the reserve fleet to
sea
Congressman Gardner was one Of
those offering criticisms. AS a matter
of fact. it took the Alabama oSly
thirty-six hours to get ready and sail.
And this. as Secretary Daniels pointed
out was in the face of the fact orders
were unexpectedly given the Alabama
Saturday night. when the members Of
the crew were scattered about the city,
not expecting orders.
Had the orders been given some
other night in the week." said Secre-
tary Daniels, "she could have been
ready for sea in twenty-four hours"
No plans have been made at the NAVY
Department as to Just how the crew Of
the Eitel will be cared for If the vessel
interns. The expense. however. will be
borne by the German government

Here Is Good News
For Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are be-
ing obtained by treating stomach, liver
and intestinal trouble with pure vege-
table oils, which exert a cleansing
soothing. and purifying action upon the
lower bowels. removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the
blood, This done, the food Is allowed
free passage from the stomach, fermen-
tation ceases and stomach troubles
quickly disappear.
George II. Mayr. for twenty years r

and many of his friends of stomach
liver. and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands
of druggists all over the country, who
have sold thousands OF bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the ef=

EUROPE IS LIKELY TO
UPHOLD SAM REGIME
Recognition of Haiti Govern
ment by Three Powers
Causes Speculation.

France, Italy. and Germany have ex-
tended recognition to the present gov
ernrnent of Haiti, that of Gen. Gull
laume Sam.
In some quarters much significance
is seen in this action. European ma
tiors followed the lead OF the United
States in Withholding recognition from
the last three governments OF Haiti,
but now three have disrcgarded this
country in giving recognition to Cen
ersi Sam.
1t Is said the Sam government has
obtur,ed loan of 81 900 in Europe.
and this leads TO the probability that
il will be permanently upheld b. Euro
pean governmental and financial in
fiuence. France is the power whose in
tiuence is the most dominent.
Strategic Importance is attached to
the new move of the European gov
renments in some quarters. 1t is said

ting control over Haiti as a strategic
position in the Caribbean whence the
Panama canal could be better rro-

Second. Another Observation-Disclosures
iact In reference 10 his mental phe-
nomena is that his mind acted with
greatly Increased rapidity. activity
and power upon the battlefield. When
confronted with great danger and
charged with the great responsibility
OF directing the movements of troops
under fire, he seemed to he given an
almost supcrnal ken: his mind under
the stimulus OF the excitement and
peril OF the conflict, apparently acted
with calmness and GOODNESS. and yet
with the celebrity of lightning and the
certainty and percision OF n rife ball
driven straight to its mark.
MENTALITY AND CAPACITY
DEVELOPED WITH wAF,
1t was not so much that his war
rior spirit. his gaudia certaminis under
such conditions. Transformed the or
dinarily staid and quiet gentleman into
the very SOU! !ncarnata OF war; as
that the incentive and stimulus OF such
n martial occasion aroused his facul
ties and intensified and developed tai
ents and aptitudes which were already
existent. but somewhat dormant in his
nature.
Those powers of observation, of rea
/ sonine from known facts quickly COM
pretending situation and promptly
deciding upon a course of conduct,
were greatly developed in jackson by
every occasion for thei rcxercise. and
AS the war advanced his mentality and
his capacity for efficient service were
! steadily developed and increased, so
that he was a stronger and a more
, capable man in May 1868. than he
could have been in May. 1852, or in
1861.

JACKsoN's CAREER WAS
NOT a FAILURE
Although Jackson's life was ended
before he knew whether the cause Tor
, which he fought would be crowned
with success or be overwhelmed in
disaster and defeat. and before he
had reached the zenith of his powers.
that life was by no means a failure.
