HOW GERMANY CAN PROVE
HER SINCERITY.

The announcement that hundreds
of Jews have been awarded Iron
Crosses and that thousands of our
brethren in the German army have
won commissions and praise for
bravery in action is welcome al
though jubilation over the fact is
somewhat dampened by the realiz-
alton of the publicity value of the
announcement to the central pow
ers. We appreciate the honors: we
expected them. Wherever Jew
finds himself he knows how to be
and act like man, whether he gets
a decoration or not; if he didn't, his
conscience would bother him. We
welcome the granting of commits
sions to Jews and we trust that this
happy beginning will not be true
only while the war lasts. We hope
it means the end of discrimination
against Jews in the German army.
We recall, too, Germany's announce
ment OF her intention to hold out tor
Jewish equality in lands where this
at present is denied them, when
peace proposals are being consider
ed. Germany can do much to bring
this about if she only will. But
there is an immediate field to which
Germany's attention is invited. We
refer to the rehabilitation of the
Jewish communities in East Prussia
and in Russian Poland which have
been wiped out by the war. When
some of Germany's efficient admin
istrative ability is applied to this
vital matter to Jews we'll begin to
believe that Germany has a real in
terest in us.-The Sentinel, Chicago.

Why French Mar

American mammas and papas imagine
that French parents are horribly cruel

common sense discussion as to their
daughters future. But in reality the
French pcre is wise when he chooses his
daughters partner. and he Ia fully aware
that hv doing so he maintains his coun-

It's as cruel dilemma as life offers.
for If a girl is willing to work it shows
that she, at least, wants to live honestly.
