frontier is not considered immediate
ly menacing by persons in official
circles here. especially in view Of the
fact that Rumania is not yet fully pre-

between Greece, Rumania and Serbia
with a view to eventual action In the
event OF an Austro-German attack.

States giving in technical detail the
position of Arabic, the British steamer
DunsIey and the German submarine

was concealed behind the DRnsiey.

w. A. K.
ANSWER TO HARRIS.-This is an
answer to the defense of the Hebrew
Institute by DR.. A. B. Harris, who
contends that said institute stands for
true Americanism and does not re-
strict free speech; that the institution
was founded by small group of ear
nest men and women for social and
educational center.
The aim of the founders may have
been good enough; so also was the
aim of the now notoriously-bad Tam
many organization of New York.
Tammany really started out as rev.
dictionary organization and procured
the general male franchise without
property qualification and then de-
generated into it's present state. The
contention of the doctor that the
right of free speech is not denied at
the Hebrew Institute is really funny.
If you don't let them in how will they
speak in there? Perhaps the good
doctor means that any one will be
permitted to enter and to speak, pro-
viding the subject matter finds favor
with the directing spirit of the insti-
tute and does not interfere with big
business, which keeps up the f1nan-
cial end.
Jake Loeb says the teachers or
ganization is all right, but it must not
be a part of a labor organization.
That's what the late Post of "Scrape
Nuts" fame used to say: Unions are
all right if they are organized as l
want them to be-"
