death A BEAUTIFUL
ADVENTURE"

Charles Frohman who is quoted
as saying: why fear Death?"
death is a beautiful adventure"
and Ebert. Hubbard who is describ-
ed by an eye witness as standing on
the deck of the Lusitania and watch
ing the scene with curious interest,
without making the slightest effort
to save himself, were two philoso-
pliers. We think that Robert Louis
Stevenson is the one to whom should
be given the credit for looking upon
death in the light of "a beautiful adj
venture" We are not sure enough
Of this to unreservedly give Steven
son credit for one of the most philo-
sophical, not to say comforting
views of after-life that has ever been
offered. But Charles Frohman even
if he plagiarized, surely plagiarized
in good cause. Neither Frohman,
the Jew, nor Hubbard the Christian,
were followers Of theologians nor
did they believe in creeds and dog
mas While the brimstone-hell be-
lever delights in planting fear in
the hearts of those who can be made
to listen to him, the manner Of the
dying of these two men brings
courage and hope to those who must
follow. When once Theology and
Religion become divorced then one
of humanity's greatest curses will
be removed. Theology promotes
Fear, Hate, Bigotry, Evil and War;
and Religion promotes Love, Joy,
Light, Justice, Brotherhood and
Peace.
Hubbard and Frohman were re-
ligious men, though this may be
roundly contradicted by those who
didn't know them. They had their
failings and were not always square
with the conventional lies of civili-
zation,' but they had souls. They
knew how to die and that's more
than can be said of many who are
always shouting their belief in "a
land of milk and honey" but seem
afraid to go there.-Jewish Critic
rion.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1915-11-26

The appeal on behalf of Russian
Jews issued in England has already
brought satisfactory response.
More than 10000 dollars have been
subscribed to the fund in the course
of short time. This does not in
clude the sum Of $4,000 previous
ly given to the fund.
Jews have not escaped the effects
OF the combats between Turks and
Perslans near Kerenda. The prop
erty OF all the Jews in that place was
plundered, with the result that thew
became impoverished. They fled to
Kermanshah where they are suffer-
ing great privations.

tains room for 1900 reports, though
Chief Brooks does not believe the
number OF residences inspected will
exceed ll,O00.
The complete details Of every In
spectlon are kept on record, both al
phabetically and In relation to their
street numbers, 90 that In case OF a
fire In any residence inspected, the re-
suits Of the firemens investigation
may be instantly looked up Thus. II
fire breaks out near the electric fuse
box, and the home Ia destroyed to
such an extent that the cause cannot
be definitely ascertained. the inspection
report will be examined, and II It
shows that the fuse bow was stuffed
full Of metal 10 act Rs conductors
where the regulation fuses had been
burned out, the cause will be placed
to the carelessness Of the house
