the day that makes us reflect on the
seriousness of life and destiny. We
as Jews and Americans have two
fold duty to learn and to heed it,
because of our dual relationship. We
must take a sober view of life be-
cause of the double example set be-
fore us, that of Our own fathers,
and that of the fathers of this re-
public, the sturdy pioneers, the
stern Puritanic men who laid the
foundations of new civilization on
this wild continent. The best ser
vice we can render ourselves and
our country is by emphasizing this
lesson and thus insuring continued
strength, prosperity, and peace.

THE SILVER LINING.

Terrible are the sufferings of our
brethren in Poland and Lithuania,
the Eastern center of the European
war. And it is not the enemy that
is the cause of them, either, but
rather their own constituencies,
brutal government. Those lands
are now almost entirely in the pos
session of the Germans. Would to
God they would remain so, unless,
as a result of the war, the present
Russian autocracy is overthrow
and liberal constitutional govern
ment set up in Russia
In the meantime let us look at the
silver lining of the terribly dark
cloud over the Jewish horizon. We
all know that it is more aristocratic
to be German than Russian lew.
We have even heard of Russian Jews
being excluded from German Jewish
plnochle clubs. It is therefore, with
considerable satisfaction that we can
now submit to our readers list of
Russian and Polish towns, the FORM
er Jewish inhabitants of which may
now call themselves Prussian instead
of Russian Jews:
Czenstochowa, Ka1varia, Philip
ova, Suvalki, Mishnetz, Slutzk, Jam
ishok, Kadan, Tavrig, Rossein,
Kovno, Warsaw, Lomza, Chelm,
Neustadt, Kroz, and Schnipishok.

ians; even as we have been in the
habit of calling ourselves Russian
Jews, American Jews, etc. For re.
ligious body, therefore, the phrase,
American Jews is correct. Jewish
Americans, like German Americans,
implies that the Jews somewhere ex-
ist as nation. Now, Mr.. Congress-
man Kahn, which do you prefer?

The American Jewish World does
not wish to take sides in the fur
iously raging controversy over the
question of a Conference or a Con-
gress. The American Jewish World
has friends in both camps. But it
seems to us that what the contro-
versy really amounts to is this: The
Jewish masses and popular organi-
cations wish to put the American
Jewish Committee out of business,
and the American Jewish Committee
refuses to be put out, and there you
are.

AMERICAN JEW OR JEWISH
AMERICAN.

Our worthy contemporary, The
Jewish Tribune, of Portland, Ore,
in a recent issue administers a we'll
deserved scathing rebuke to Con-
gresham Julius Kahn of California,
who in Chautauqua address among
other foolish and worse-than-foolish
things should have said:
eff the Jewish citizens must be
hyphenated at all, they should be
called Jewish-Americans, and not
American Jews. The Jews no longer
exist as a nation, and the Jewish
population of every country becomes
a part of the citizenship of that coun-
try.
"In Russia the Jews call them
selves Russian Jews. Yet they
complain when the Gear refuses to
protect them from oppression on the
ground that they are foreigners. 1t
is the duty of each Jew in this coun-
try to help create the understanding
that we are not American Jews, but
are as much entitled to be called
Jewish-Americans as the German
Americans or the French-Ameri-
cans"
Congressman Julius Kahn only
repeated what others have many
times said before him. The Jewish
Tribune fails to call attention to the
poor logic or lack of logic, of these
people. Those who, like Congress-
man Kahn, insist that we should
call ourselves Jewish-Americans,
also contend that we Jews no longer
exist as a nation. Yet their phrase
Jewish-American is only patterned
after such phrases as French-Am-
orleans, German-Americans, etc., as
they explicitly avow. But French
men and Germans do exist as sep
arate nations.
On the other hand, religious
bodies reverse the order of the
phrase contents and speak Of them
selves as American Catholics, Ger
man Protestants, Scotch Presbyter-

have a SOLDERING effect upon Our
minds. Religion dwells on the mys-
terry of human destiny, on duty and
responsibility, on the compelling
force of divine law, on divine judg-
ment, on the higher values of life,
sympathy, love, sacrifice. Religion
seeks to place man in the proper
relation to the divine, relation of
humble alteration and reverence and
awe. Religion seeks to make us
happy, true; but it is the happiness
that comes from the souls own re-
sources contentment, peace of
mind, resignation and reconciliation
and not from external sources, SEN
sual qualifications, which never fully
satisfy. Hence religion is found in
compatible and incongruous with
our modern mode of life and there
fore undesirable. People find pub
lie worship uninteresting and poke
fun at it. They fout all the higher
principles of morality, or accept
them only in theory, but not in prac-
tice; for in practice they conflict
with our giddy life.
In order to justify their attitude
and actions people resort to all
kinds of self-deception and hypo-
crisy. We all know that to sell
munitions of war to belligerents
means to participate in the destruc-
ton and killing; means that our
guns, our bullets, our shells, made
and shipped by us, do the murder
Gus work. We can almost estimate
the number of men we have helped
to murder, the widows and orphans
we have helped to make. And yet
people offer all kinds of hypocritl-
cal excuses for carrying on the
traffic, the excuse of neutrality, in
ternational law, the wars going on
any way, etc. AS matter of fact,
there is only one reason for it, and
that reason we all we'll know. 1t
is business. The manufacturers of
ammunition see their opportunity of
making big profits. All else is hypoc-
risy, base and deceitful. And back
of this hypocrisy is Our levity and
frivo1ity, that prevents us from TAX
ing a serious view of life, duty, re-
sponsibility, divine judgment, and
all the stern realities of the world.
But our giddiness may spell dis
aster for us and Our children. Read
history, ancient or modern, and you
will find that such conduct on the
part of nations has always been fol-
lowed by some dire catastrophe,

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
l.. NJ. Crawford Predicts a Prosperous
Theatrical Season.

The theatrical outlook is good
throughout the country, according to
L. NJ. Crawford, of Topeka, who has
just returned from a business trip to
New York city. Mr.. Crawford looked
after the bookings for the Grand
opera house while there and also at
tended to other matters.
Managers are gaining confidence
day by day." he said today, land
every one L talked to is looking for
ward to a much better year than last
The season of 1914-1915 was a bad
one and naturally many producers are
timid in putting on new plays. How
ever if the season opens in good shape
they will fill the theaters with pro-
auctions which are ready for staging
at any time.
Mr.. Crawford said that other lines
of business will do better than last
year, in the opinion of New York
financial men. With the restoration
of confidence in the pubic mind, the
rather shaky basis caused by the
European war will be supplanted by
a more solid foundation. That is the
way New Workers look at it, Mr..
Crawford says.

WATER SOAKED LETTERS
Written When Galveston Flood Was
at Its Height.

A water-soaked letter with a Gal
weston date-line and Texas City can
collation. stamp on the envelope, has
! just been received by James A. Prin-
gle, contractor. 1t was written by ].
B. Wilkinson, who. was a time-keeper
for Pringle while the West Side sewer
was under construction.
'tHave just returned from the sea
wall, and find your letter. 1t is good
to get it, for it may be the last on this
side of the great beyond" begins the
letter which was dated Aug. 16. The
letter continues:
''At this writing, the storm which is
raging over the gulf is hurting itself
against and over the sea wall, and the
bay on the other side of the island is
backing up on us. Our office is three
or four blocks from the bay, and the
water has filled the streets, backed up
over the sidewalks and now IS finding
it's way into the store. 1t is very prob
able this letter never will reach YOU.
After writing of personal matters
the letter again refers to the storm.
TT is now sos p. m, and the wealth
err bureau predicts its continuance
throughout the night. There is no es-
cape from the island, every avenue
having been cut off. Reports come in
that the fishing pier and bath houses
are torn away. My letter started at
2:30 %. M, but this is a second at
tempt. The weather man says the is
land, anyway this portion of it will
be ten or fifteen feet under water. 1
will now have to give up my plan of
writing a long letter, for the water in
the store is driving us up on the coun-
ters There are between fifty and
seventy-five persons gathered in this
building.
Mr.. Pringle does not know whether
Wilkinson escaped or not. He has not
heard from him since the letter was
written and thinks the letter may have
been mailed by some other person.
Wilkinson has had an eventful, but
unfortunate career. He was once a
millionaire but lost most of his money
in mining in Mexico.
