with the subjects taught by them.
Such teachers our Normal school
will try to supply.
Our aims and purposes in no way
conflict with those Of any other in
stitution existing here. Our local
Hebraists and Talmud Torah en-
thusiasts should not see in them any
thing hostile to, or subversive Of, or
neutralizing their own cherished
ideals. No matter how sanguine
they may be in regard to the spread
of their own idea, they cannot fail
to realize that the majority Of Ameri
canized Jews will always prefer the
American Sunday school idea for
the religious training of their chill
dren. There is room for both.
Let us hope that the young people
of the community will receive the
news of the establishment of the
school with the same enthusiasm as
was evidenced by those present at
the first meeting.

THE LITTLE ONES.

Mr.. William Weisman' enthusi-
asm on behalf of children, and espe-
cially the children Of the poor, Or
orphaned and homeless children, is
worthy of praise The root of hui
man sympathy is in tenderness for
childhood, helpless childhood. Prop
erly to care for the welfare of chill
dren is to work for the best interests
Of the future of the race Take care of
the child, and the man will take care
of himself. Neglect the child, and
the future of the man is very uncer-
tain.
Mr.. Weisman's ambition is to see
some institution established here
that shall specially look after the in
terests of the poor neglected, home
less, Jewish children. AS the COM
munity grows, this need will become
greater. If Mr.. Weisman has some
definite plan, and is willing to make
a start, we are with him. We are
willing to help him in every possible
way. We need more public-spirited
men, who are willing to do some
thing for the Jewish community,
who have vision and enthusiasm,
who put heart as we'll as head into
the work.

that the Jewish opponents were very
much in earnest, and he yielded. Mr..
Shylock has made his exit.
1t is strange that it is so difficult
to convince our Christian neighbors
that The Merchant of Venice is Of
fensive to us, that it is slanderous
caricature of the Jew, even though
it was penned by the Incompatible
Shakespeare, that it's inevitable ef-
feet upon children is to confirm
whatever prejudice against the Jew
there is in their immature minds.
But we Jews should always be
watchful and on the alert IF we
are not for ourselves, who is for us ?"

Observation-Disclosures
EDl T ORlAL
THE NORMAL SCHOOL IS
A FACT.
A FACT.

Our readers will be pleased to
learn that the Normal School for the
training Of religious teachers on the
need of the establishment Of which
we commented editorially a short
time ago, is now a reality. At an en-
thusiastic meeting of religious
school teachers and superintendent
held at the Talmud Torah the plan
of such school was adopted and the
date Of it's opening set for Jan. 3.
instruction will be given in three,
possibly four, subjects: Jewish His
tory, Jewish literature, Religion and
Ethics, and, for the students who
can devote an additional evening,
Hebrew. The course will cover two
years, and, if found necessary will be
extended to three All those pres
emily engaged in Sunday school
teaching and all who wish to pre-
pare themselves for such work, will
be received as students. It is need
less to say that young men as we'll
as young women will be enrolled.
The local section of the Council of
Jewish Women is interested in the
school and will give it it's support
Other organizations may cooperate.
We honestly believe that there is
no Jewish institution in the city that
will be Of greater benefit to the cul-
tural interests of the Jewish Com
munity than this school. That our
children need Jewish religious train
ing, no Jew whose Jewishness, is not
altogether of minus quantity will
question. But to do such work prop
erly and efficiently, trained and
qualified teachers are necessary,
teachers who have some familiarity

WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE.

WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE.
The modern Jew is part of the
modern world In modern civilized
communities one element cannot
isolate itself from the others. There
are no ghetto walls separating the
Jew. He mingles freely with his
neighbors, whatever their religious
affiliations be- He is not, and he
cannot be exclusive; he will not
keep aloof. He must and he does
enter intimately into their life.
While he cannot subscribe to their
religious doctrines, or join their
orthodox forms Of worship, without
playing the hypocrite, and being
disloyal to his own people, his faith
and his ancestry, ne must yet enter
with them more or less intimately
into all the relations of life.
Every Jew nowadays probably
has as many Christian acquaint-
ances and friends as Jewish. 1t is
but natural he should rejoice with
them on the occasions of their Joy,
and sorrow with them in the mo-
ments of their sorrow. 1t is simply
the working of human sympathy in
him; and what nobler human quail
ity is there than sympathy? 1t is
the subtle bond that makes all hui
manity kin. 1t is but natural that
the Jew SO situated should manifest
considerable interest in such a Joy
full festival as Christmas. Among
our Christian neighbors it is the hap
piest and most joyful time of the
year. 1t develops spirit of good
fellowship and good cheer. 1t Civ
es rise to considerable benevolent
and charitable endeavor.
The Jew enters into all this not
only because of his commercial re-
lations with his neighbors, but also
because of his social obligations.
He must remember his Christian
friends, associates, and employees,
even as they remember him. He
gives and receives. All this is as
it should be.
But there is also religious side
to it. The season celebrates a sup
posed event that is basic to the

GERMANY REPLIES TO
 AMERICAN PROPOSALS
Agrees te Abandon Submarine Block
 ade Under Certain Conditions.

Berlin March 2, Via London.-1n it's reply to the American note con- corning the German naval war zone, the German government agrees that, under certain conditions, it's subma- rines will halt and investigate mer- chantmen, and will proceed against only such vessels as are found carry ing contra band or are owned in na- tions hostile to Germany.
 The reply declares Germany's readi- ness to accept virtually all of the American proposals except the one which would restrict the use of an- chored mines to purely defensive pur- poses. The German government ex- presses the belief that belligerents canont afford to abandon entirely the use of anchored mines for offensive operations. It is willing to consider the abandonment of floating mines.
 Rules of International Law.
 In case German submarines take action, after investigation, against merchantmen carrying contra band or owned in hostile countries, it is agreed that such action will be in accordance with the general rules of internation- al law. This presupposes, however,
 
 flags by merchantmen of hostile na- tions, or the arming of such mer- chantmen If such tactics were em- ployed, Germany contends, it would be impossible to restrict the opera tions of submarines in this manner.
 The supply suggests that there be constituted in the countries concerned American commissions to which sup plies of foodstuffs for the use of civil ian populations could be consigned. This plan, it is said is contemplated in the American proposals. The re- ply also suggests that these commis- sions should be allowed to import and control the distribution of other articles, especially fodder, which are on the conditional contra band list in the declaration of London. Germany states that interference with articles on the absolute free list in the declar- alton of London should be abandoned
 American Spirit of Fairness.
 What most impressed us in the American note was the evident spirit of absolute fairness in which the American government approached the problem, and it's desire to pro- pose a solution which could be ac- cepted by both sides,'' said a high of fcial of the German government ves- terday. We endeavored in the reply to follow the same rule The modifi- cations we suggested are inspired by the desire to round out and complete the American proposals
 We are sure, for instance, that the American government would have inserted the clause covering armed merchantmen if this subject had oc- cured to them. The reservation re- garding the offensive use of an- chored mines is justified by The
New Britain herald., 1915-03-03

refrain from offering violent resis- tance, since such conduct, which is opposed to international law, renders it impossible for submarines to pro- ceed in accordance with international law.
 Fourth: The regulation of the le- gitimate importation of food supplies to Germany, as suggested by the American government, appears in general to be acceptable This regu- .lation would, of course, be restricted to importation by sea, but, on the other hand, it would also include in direct importation via neutral ports.
 "Germany would, therefore, be pre- pared to make declarations such as are provided for in the American

had no appetite. Since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound the aches and pains are all gone and feel like new woman. I cannot praise your medicine too highly. "-Mrs. AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
 It is true that nature and a woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham g Vegetable Compound is recogniz e d from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health - many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; ; and in some cases that it has saved them from r----~-;~ol cna~a+ic,s
New Britain herald., 1915-03-03

note, so that the employment of inn ported food supplies would be guar anteed to be exclusively for the peace ful civil population.
 'In this connection Germany must, however, emphasize that the importa- tion also of other raw materials for peaceful economic purposes, and in cluding fodder should be made possi- ble. For this purpose the hostile governments would have to allow free passage to Germany of raw materials mentioned in the free list of the Lon don declaration and to treat in the same manner as foodstuffs those ma terials contained in the list of condi- tional contraband.''
 Conclusion of Note.
 The note concludes as follows:
 Tho German government hopes that the understanding suggested by the American governments will, re- gard being paid to the foregoing re- marks, be realized and that thereby peaceful neutral shipping and peace full neutral commerce will not have more to suffer than is absolutely nee oSsary from the effects of the naval warfare.
 such effects, moreover. would be substantially diminished if. as al- ready pointed out in our note of Feb ruary 16, means and ways could be found to exclude the importation of war material from neutral to bel ligerent states on ships of whatso- ever flag.
 The adoption of a definite atti- tude must, of course, be postponed untll the German government, on the paSls of further communication from the American government, iS in a po- Eltlon to see what obligations the brush government, on it's side, is pIc- pared to assume"
