Oscar Straus, 65 Today,
Sees Hope For the Jews

Oscar Soloman Straus, perhaps the
most distinguished of American Jew
ish statesmen, will pass his sixty-ffth
milestone to-day. One of the results
of the European war, Mr.. Stratus be-
Iieves, will be general improvement
in the lot of the Hebrew people in
all the countries of Europe. In dis
cussing European. affairs Mr.. Stratus
knows whereof he speaks, for he has
served three times as minister and am
bassador to Turkey and has frequent
Iy visited all the principal countries
of the old world and has made close
study of their governments and tnsti-
tutions. He has been a member of
the permanent Hague Tribunal since
1902, having twice been reappointed.
He was also a.. member of President
RooseveIts cabinet as Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, and was the
Progressive candidate for governor of
New York in 1912. He was born in
Germany. and this has led to the cir
cuiation of a report that he favored
the Teutonic empires in this war. but
he has insisted that this rumor does

Mr.. Strads was born in g. little Ba-

distinguished brothers, the others be-

Nathan, equally famous as merchant
and phiIanthropist. Oscar was only
four years old when the family eng
grated to Georgia. The elder Straus
lost nearly everything in the civil
war, but in 1856 he, paid his debts in
full and removed to New York. There
he started an importing business with
his two older sons as partners. while
Oscar entered Columbia University
and was educated for the law. His
success in that profession paved the
way for his distinguished public career

Nizam of Hyderabad

s. The Nizam of Hyderabad, the In
dian prince who is reported to have
been deposed because of corfspiracies
against the British rule in India, is in
his hftieth year. He Is the greatest
of the MohamInedan princes of India,
and ruled a state having an area of
81 .69S square miles and population
of nearly twelve millions. At the be-
ginning of the war the Nfzam profess
ed great enthusiasm for the British
cause, and gave an air of sincerity to
his protestations by contributing sew
eral million dollars to the British war
fund and by raising q small army of
his subjects to fight in France and
Belgium. When Turkey entered the
war, however. his loyalty to Britain
apparently fa1tered. and not long ago
it was reported that he had been for
mally deprived of his throne by the
Viceroy of India. The Nizafn was one
of the most independent of Indian POI
tentates, and held the power of life
and death over his subjects. He had
the privilege of coming his own money
and although he paid, an annual trib-
ute of $S50,000 into the British treas
ury, this was but a fraction of his in

empire he was looked up to by all the

A compound fracture OF the neck

Socialism, the Right Kind

Whether we know 1t or not, many

reforms for which they loudly
clamor.
The fact that most healthful con-
ditions come about slowly and must
be evolved from within. not plaster.

moderate a proceeding for them TO
tolerate.
