London, Wednesday June 9.-The
big battle in Galica has not yet
reached a decision. The AustroGer-
mans, having crossed the Dniester
south of Lemberg, have. assumed the
offensive further to the south, and,
according to the Austrian official re-
port, have succeeded in pushing the
Russians back between Kolomea and
Kalusz in Eastern Galicia.
This operation was necessary be-
fore the Teutonic allies continued
their advance toward Lemberg, as
the Russian attacks in the region of
Kolomea were beginning to look dan
gerous, after the Russians had, as re-
ported from Petrograd last week, in
fiicted rather severe defeat on the
Austrians in this district.
British and Russian military opin-
ion is that the Austro-Germans after
their big effort, which regained for
them the great part OF Galicia, have
about exhausted themselves and the
view is expressed that they win soon

The Jew as Patron and Player St Chess
By DR.. Mendel Silber, Editor The Jewish Ledger.

Observation-Disclosures
The recent death in New York of
Isaac L. Rice distinguished railroad
attorney, economist, writer, lee
turer, inventor and hnancier whose
wife has just donated one million
dollars to the Beth Israel Hospital
for the establishment of a home for
convalescents, and who was as we'll
and favorably known for his patron
age and playing of chess as he was
famous for his skill and ability as
organizer and promoter of car COM
panies, boat works and electric APP
pliances, recalls the prominence and
pre-eminence Of the ew as patron
and player of chess.
For, the study of Talmudic SUBTLE
ty and Rabbinic sophistry has not
been without wholesome effect, at
least in one direction. 1t has con-
stantly sharpened the intellect of the
Jew and has endowed him with
those qualities that make for excel
lence in chessplaying. This &C
counts for the fact that in chess, the
most dignified diversion mankind
has ever invented, the Jew has for
a long time excelled and stands to-
day as the worlds champion.
AS early as the ninth century
Jews were already known to be fond
of this game, and throughout the
Middle Ages it formed their most
favorite pastime and recreation. The
most rigid rabbis recommended it,
the most unworldly moralists sane
toned it, and the most learned men
INDUCED in it. Pope and prince,
fond of chess, often showed leniency
to the Jew because of his masterful
playing. Even with the gentler sex
among the medieval Jews the game
was not an uncommon occupation,
as is evident from the fact that in
the beginning of the seventeenth
century Jewess Of Venice was uni
versa11y acknowledged queen in the
art of chess-playing.
And the Jew has not alone played
and practiced the game, but he has
also taught others to play and prac-
tice it. He has written works on it
which were often translated into
other languages and served as

guides and manuals in the rules of
the game. The oldest set of chess
rules extant is that of Abraham lbn
Ezra, of the twelfth century. Among
the numerous other works, those Of
Moses Azan of the thirteenth cen
fury, Bonsenior of the fifteenth, Leo
di Modena of the sixteenth, and
Jacob Eichenbaum of the eighteenth
centuries are equally we'll known
and often quoted.
From the eighteenth century on,
from the time of the Rabbi Aron
Alexandra and Elder Won Anke-
berg, Jews have uninterruptedly
been the undisputed masters Of
chess. Wilhelm Steinitz, whose pa
thetic death in New York fifteen
years ago was mourned here and
abroad, had held the worlds cham
pionship for three decades and was
universally recognized as the great
est genius among chess-players Of
the nineteenth century. His only
real rival was another Jew, Hermann
Zuckertort, who excelled all others
as blindfolded player. These two
masters have in turn been succeeded
in the worlds championship by a
lew, Emanuel Lasker.
Certainly not bad record for a
people that has had but little leisure
for play. Yet every country has had
it's Jewish champion. Siegbert
Tarrasch, Richard Mangelsdorf, Os-
car Blumenthal, David Harwitz,
Carl Sch1echter, Bernays and Cohn,
in Germany; Samuel Rosenthal (of
Russian birth), Leopold Hoffer, and
S. Alapin, in France; Berthold Eng
fish and Schwartz, in Austria Ig-
natz Kolisch, Isidor Gunsberg and

of all persons interested in the game
of chess.
But, great as is the prominence
and pre-eminence of the ew as pa
iron and player Of chess, it forms.
but small chapter in the many and
multifarious accomplishments and
achievements in the various fields of
human endeavor. In fact, his re-
markable skill and ability in such
a branch of play and pastime as
chess which requires leisure, free
dom from care, GOODNESS of mind and
calmness of temperament and dis
position-qualities and opportunities
which hostile and cruel world pre-
vented the Jew from acquiring or
preserving-may we'll be taken as
a criterion of the multiform success
he has achieved in other spheres of
human activity and may justly be
regarded as distinct and character
istic trait Of Jewish genius.
What his achievements might
have been in this, as in every other
branch of play or work, if he were
allowed to live his own life and de-
velop undisturbed the best that is
in him, can, of course, only be con-
jectured. But it does seem as
though he possessed certain peculiar
but praiseworthy traits, whether
hereditary or acquired, whether
they be the result Of his religious
training or characteristics of the
race, whether they have come about
through his mental labors or his
moral life, at any rate, his distinc-
tive traits are undeniably there. And
one cannot help wishing that these
traits become known both to him
self and others. By this double
purpose could be served. 1t would
stand as an offset to his less laudable
traits, for such, too, the Jew has
(Heaven knows, the Jew has never
posed as a saint or an angel y s.; and
it would help him to perpetuate con-
scious1y what he has inherited or
acquired unconsciously. Nay, more,
one cannot but hope for the day
when all the nations of the earth
shall recognize his worth and en-
courage his work, so that he and
all mankind may enjoy the fruits OF
the manifold Jewish achievements.

PERMANENT CAMP SITE?

Biloxi, Mis-, July 29.-Following the
departure of members of the Missis-
sippi National Guard, who left for
their homes Sunday night, Adjutant
General E. c.. Scales, who is still in
the city, accompanied by number of
the officers of his staff, stated this
morning that an ideal permanent site
for the encampment of the MISSISSIPPI

on the gulf coast and in Biloxi. Such
a plan has been discussed in military
circles to some extent, but no definite
steps have been taken in regard to the

BREWER SAYS CANDIDATE GOT
cHEcK, STUB READING "FOR
GOD KNOWS WHAT"

Jackson, Miss, July 29.-The latest
sensation in Mississippi's gubernator-
ial campaign is a statement made by
| Governor Brewer last night in a
speech at Okolona that he could prove
that 800 was given to Lieutenant
Governor Theo. g. Bilbo, one of the
candidates for governor out of the
Vardaman campaign funds during the
secret caucus several years ago to
hold him in line for Vardaman. Gov
ernor Brewer said: 81 make this
charge straight from the bat. / am
solvent If | misstate the facts
against Mr.. Bilbo l am liable for dam
ages and l make this statement adj
visedly. And I now charge that he
double crossed Vardaman in the cam
paign and made Vardaman shake down
500 to keep him from deserving al
the crucial hour. If this statement is
untrue, let him sue me for it. l invite
the suit l will prove the truth of my
assertion"
The governor in his speech charged
that John w. Armstrong asked
Vaughan Watkins, of Jackson, chair
man of the Vardaman campaign com
mittee here, for the 500 and that Mr..
Watkins drew it out of the bank and
gave it to Mr.. Armstrong, writing on
the stub of the check, For God knows
what" Mr.. Armstrong has sworn
that he gave the 500 to Bilbo after
getting it from Watkins.
Mr.. Watkins issued a statement
last night saying that the governor
stated the circumstances truthfully
but said that he did not know what
was to be done with the money.

believed that encampment days would
come again in Biloxi, and that the
proposition of "a permanent encamp-

Guard this, year. would prove feasible
for the LOCATION of permanent grounds.
The use of the grounds would meet
the approval of both the government
and city. The proposition has been
promised thorough consideration in
military circles at the proper time.

Next year there will be Joint
maneuVers between the United States
regulars and state troops of three
states but the grounds of the maneuv.
ers have not yet been decided on to
accommodate the 5000 or 5000 troops.
Should Biloxi be successful in secur-
ing the joint maneuvers next year, it
would prove financial benefit to this
section.
