PROSPERITY is
MORE THAN ARTIFICIAL

Atlanta, Ga, May 26.-America's
prosperity is not an artificial prosper
ity built on profits of munition makers
and manufacturers of other kinds of
war supplies, but is a general pros
perity which prevails throughout the
country, and which is perfectly sound
and will continue when the war is
over, according to Charles S. Hamlin,
governor of the Federal Reserve Board
in Washington who delivers an ad-
dress today before the Georgia State
Bankers Association in Macon, and
who addressed a gathering of Atlanta
bankers yesterday in the course Of a
days stay in this city as the guest of
officials of the Federal Reserve Bank
here.
Although he would venture no opin-
ion as to when the war will end, and
adroitly side-stepped all efforts to Sc
cure an expression of topics Of po-
iltical nature, Mr. Hamlin declared the
foreign trade opportunities Of the Uni
ted States are being developed rapid
ly, and state banks are realizing more
and more the advantages Of joining
the federal reserve system.

BATHING SUITS
fine ATTRACTION
ATLANTA WOMEN TAKE DARING
ADVANTAGE OF LENlENCY AT
BATHING PLACES.

Atlanta. Ga, May 26.-Bathing
suits worn in Atlanta this season are
more daring than ever before, and
swimming has developed into such a
popular sport that the two new pools
opened by the city at the commence
ment of the season, in addition to the
big pool in Piedmont park which has
been operated several seasons, are in
adequate to supply the demands of
the people for daily aquatic field.
Accordingly the city park authori-
ties are making a survey of Grant
Park, where the famous Cyclorama
picture of the battle of Atlanta and
he engine Texas are located, for the
purpose of determining the proper
site for still another pool, which will
6e one of the largest in the city.
Far from attempting to regulate the
sort of suits worn at the city bathing
pools. which ludicrous error the park
authorities committed before they be-
came experienced in the operation OF
public pools, there are now no regu-
lations whatsoever, except for gen
eral rule that any man or woman ap-
pearing in a suit that is not decent
will be forced to leave the pool.
The women especially have taken
daring advantage of the leniency of
the park authorities, and are wearing
suits that would make the late An
thony Comstock turn over in his grave
if he knew such things were permit
ted anywhere.
Discarding the old style boomers
that were good for nothing but to
catch gallons of water and swell up
like balloon, thereby preventing a
fair bather from disporting herself
with any degree of grace at all, the !
girls have adopted a standard type |
Of bathing suit which consists of
sleeveless tights, a sleeveless Jacket
ind a much abbreviated skirt.
The banks are usually crowded with
spectators when the chickens take
heir plunge.

motives, making promises they never
intend to keep, we can find no words
adequate to express their lnfamy.
We have by this time become accus-
toned to the performance of the
Russophile press and Russian ag-
ents in now and then throwing out
hints, as to the improvements Rus
STA is planning in the condition OF
her beloved Jews. There is not a
grain of truth in all this. There can
be no improvement and no change as
long as the present governmental
regime continues, as long as Russia
is dominated by the Car, the bu-
reaucracy and the church. Rou-
mania is performing the same trick,
and is promising some measure OF
Justice to the Jews after the war,
promise she never intends to keep,
because it is promise she has SO

No Hope for Jews in Roumania.

The editor of La Renaissance Juive
recently had an interview with the
Roumanian Minister in Paris regard
ing the future of the Jews in Rouman-
ia. The Minister frankly declared that
he did not believe that even after the
present war Jews will be regarded as
equals with Roumanians before the
law. He admitted of the possibility
that the Jewish soldiers who return
from the battlefield will become nat
uralized Roumanians, although he was
not quite sure even of that. He assured
his interviewer, however, that the
rights of the Jews in the conquered
territories of Pennsylvania will not be
interfered with, although that will pre-
sent the anomaly of the conquered
people having more rights and priv
leges than the conquerors. The Min
lister further admitted that he did not
believe in granting equal rights to the
Jews in ROumania.

THE TEMPLE SISTERHOOD.

In the National Federation of
Temple Sisterhoods American Juda-
ism has created a force that is al
ready making itself felt in the re-
ligious re-awakening and revival
among our people, and promises to
exercise a still greater influence II
the future. The Federation is now
composed of about one hundred and
fifty sisterhoods, or women's auxll-
iaries of temples, representing Jew
ish communities in all parts OF the
country, and the number is steadily
growing. It's sole object is to
strengthen Jewish religious senti-
ment and to promote religious actlvi-
ties in and outside of the congrega-
tons, to which the sisterhoods be-
long. The interests of the sister
hoods extend to the synagog and its
worship, to the religious schools of
the community, to Jewish studies
and Jewish philanthropy. In all

ing thought. One of the latest tasks
the National Federation has under
taken is to popularize congregational
singing in the synagog. Congrega-
tional singing in the modern syna-
cog would make the service far
more inspiring and more truly re-
ligious. And no element of the con-
gregation can succeed better with
this innovation than the women.
The National Federation will hold
it's Biennial Convention, conformity
with the Union of American Congre-
cations, in Baltimore, beginning
with the third Monday of January,
1917. It will undoubtedly be one OF
the greatest and most imposing Jew
ish gatherings Of the year, both in
point of numbers and the character
and standing of the delegates. Some
of the most important problems con-
fronting American Judaism are on
the program for discussion.

THE Jew AS A SOLDIER.

THE JEW AS A SOLDIER.
News that an officer has been di
rected by the War Department to
strike from book which he has writ
ten certain passages rejecting upon
the patriotism and soldierly ability of
the Jew is not surprising. The De-
partment of War honors itself in de-
claring:
"The Jewish race has undoubtedly
furnished many able officers and many
brave soldiers to all the armies of the
world, and the department is satisfied
that many such men are now in our
own army
An officer in the American army so
ignorant and stupid as to assert that
Jews lack patriotism and do not make
good soldiers should be set to breaking
stone on rock pile There are at the
present time $4,000 Jews in the Unit
ed States army and navy, and more in
the National Guard, In the armies of
Great Britain are 10000 Jews. In the
German armies are $1,000. More than
10000 Jews are fighting under the
flag of Austria. Russia's uniform is
worn by $4,000 Jews. Even little
Serbia has more than $500 Jews in
her decimated forces
In Our civil war upwards of 5000
Jews took part, although there were
only 10000 in the country at the
time There were eleven Jewish naval
officers, forty staff officers, eighteen
colonies, eight observation-disclosures,
forty majors, EOS captains, 325 lieu
tenants, forty-eight adjutants and
twenty-five surgeons. New York
alone sent 1896 Jews into the battles
of the civil war. The rolls of honor
are sprinkled thickly with the names
of brave and daring Jews. In the
Spanish war fully 5000 Jews partici
pated. At San Juan and Manila and
wherever else there was danger there
were Jews.
The fortitude and prowess of the
Jew in battle could not be adequately
recounted in many books.-Albany

ABOUT HENRY MORGEN-
THAU.

One of our Western papers refers
to former Ambassador Morgenthau as
follows:
Advices received from Washington
state that the Hon. Henry Morgen-
than, recently ambassador to Turkey,
will be secretary of the treasury when
President Wilson reconstructs his
cabinet. The present incumbent is
the Hon. William G.. McAdoo, the
son-in-law of Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Nor
genthau will not be the first Jew
to have a seat in a Presidents
cabinet. That honor fell to Hon. Oscar
S. Straus, who was Secretary of Com
merce and Labor in President Roose-
velt's administration. Should the re-
port, however, be substantiated, Mr..
Morgenthau will be the first Jew to
occupy so high position in the cabi
net. Mr. Morgenthau was born in
Mannheim, Germany, on April 20,
1856. He came to this country at the
age OF nine and passed through the
public schools of New York City and
the College of the City of New York.
In 1877 he graduated from the law
school of Columbia College. From
1879 to 1899 he was member of the
law firm of Lachman, Morganthau &
Goldsmith He then entered the real
estate field, organizing the companies
bearing his name. In 1914 Mr. Nor
genthau was appointed American Am
bassador to Turkey, and his discharge
of the duties, which grew particularly
onerous owing to the war, called forth
universal praise. 1t is due to his lab
ors that the Jewish settlement in Pales-
tine was saved.

BORDER TROOPS BEDS
LOST in FACTORY FIRE
Sprinkler, Turned on to Save
Building Here, Causes DAM
age of Thousands

Two thousand beds, several hundred OF
which were made for the soldiers on the
Mexican border. were ruined by water to-
day when fire threatened the destruction Of
the plant of the Bernstein Manufacturing
Company. at Third street and Allegheny
avenue.
This was the second fire within two
years at the factory which is one OF the
largest of It's kind. An automatic sprinkler
system was set into operation upon the
discovery OF the flames about 1O:3O o'clock.
Water covered every bed ready for ship
ment aud brass and other material used in
manufacture of the products.
Although this caused heavy monetary
loss. the quick action of the employees. led
by Herman Heinrich, one of the foremen.
in turning on the sprinklers saved the
building Eight hundred men were at
work when the fire started. and while some
left the building in perfecr order the others
remained and fought the blaze.
The fire was confined to the packing
room. The cause is believed to have been
either spontaneous combustion among straw
used in packing or the crossing of live
wires on the third floor, where the fire
occurred. The firm was unable to give
an estimate OF the loss. which Is said to
be covered partly by insurance.
