JEWISH PATRIOTISM

DORIS S. SCHUMACHER, of New
ID York, who returned Thursday
from a tour of the eastern and
western front OF the European war
zones, estimates the Jewish losses in
the Cars armies since the beginning
of hostilities as 121,9S5 men. Schu-
macher, a writer for Jewish pubIica-
tions. went abroad with the Ford
peace party and has also been in
Petrograd. His estimates of army
losses were made, he said from Off
cial statements and documents.
To illustrate the loyalty of the
Jews to Russia, Schumacher gave these
figures on Jewish casualties: Died
on the battlefield, 1S435, per cent.
ot the total; died soon after being
wounded, 11,541, 7 $40 per cent. !;
died in hospitals, S.SS2, 8 per cent. !;
missing, 31,324, per cent; wounded
but recovering. 5.S31, 5 per cent. :;
total 121,9S5. The Jewish population
is about 4 per cent. of the whole.
Schumacher said the Jews in Rus
sia are hoping for the defeat of Ger
many. They blame Germany for the
failure Of their past efforts 10 win
freedom in the Cars domains, as
serting that the Kaiser has aided the
Russian Government in suppressing
upr;sings. 81 s-
This Is new and interesting point
of view, differing from that of thou
sands of Jews in America whose
sympathies are frankly with the Teu-
tonic allies because of their hatred for
the Car. whom they look upon as
1srael's greatest oppressor. But that
aside, the fact that 1913 Jews have
been shot down in defense of Russia
should be ground enough upon which
TO build for them the noble edifice OF
political and religious freedom when
the war shall cease. No country
worthy the name will do other than
pay full tribute and homage to the
men who shoulder their rifles and
march away to lay down their lives

TO fly.

PRIzETIGHTERs AND KINGS

The chief. difference between a

be that the prizefighter is willing to
do his own fighting while the king

end in view - personal glory and

desire is to crush the spirit of mill
tarism in Germany which is respon-
sible for the awful state of affairs in
Europe to-day. and they, too, ought to

destruction and brought nothing but
sorrow and sacrifice to those on whose
shoulders the burden of the unneces-

Every country engaged in war is
competing to secure greater numbers
of American motorcycles. number
motorcycle regiments are now in SER
vice, the cycle being more dependable
than the cavalry horse, and capable OF
greater and longer speed. Motorcy-
cles are ideal for transporting officers.
enabling them to keep in constant
touch with several sections of long

being introduced in large numbers. 1t
is less cumbersome than the automo-
bile and in many instances can be
made to serve the same purpose.

In such a season of strife, when
it becomes prolonged, there is al
ways an extraordinary blackening
of personal character. The. sewer

or follies of private life are dragged
Abuse and siander become the
matter how decent or honest they
may be, are allowed, il they are ac-
tive on one side, to escape the
venom of the other side. From. 1895
to 1899 the politics of Philadelphia
was an illustration of factiona1-
ism in it's most odious FORMS: To
and to search for weaknesses which
might make a man ridiculous or
bring shame upon him and his fam
lily were the weapons of one side
quite as much as they were of the
other. To fasten some imputation
OF moral delinquency on a factional
opponent. even IL it We're only some
passing indiscretion that might be
plausibly distorted into represen-
tation of vice. was the employment
of degraded hirelings.

looks like, bitter factional struggle
Whatever the outcome, all concerned
would do we'll to let personalities out

mud-slinging counts for much in po.
Iitical campaigns. When issues are al
stake the injection of personalities is
confusing, and often loses as many
votes as it makes. No man is per.
feet and all have their faults and theil
weaknesses. There is so much goot
in the worst of us, and so much bad il
the best of us, that it i'll behooves any
of us to talk about the rest of us.
Let us hope that we may be spared
the flood of slander, villifcation anC
character assassination that has mark

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.

Sioux City. Aug. ia very re
spectacle run of cattle showed up
here today. some 144 cars, or close
rived a week ago, but about the
same number as came the CORE
spending day a year ago. Big end
of the days receipts were grassers,
from the ranges and native pastures,
and as a rule quality was only fair.
Demand from packers proved ample
and while there was some uneven
ness, the general opinion was that
prices were steady to loo lower with
the close of last week for the useful
kinds. Only a very limited assert
ment of corn feds arrived and sale
was judged TO be unchanged.
Demand continued broad for the
desirable grades of both stock steers
and she stuff and outlet for such
kinds remained steady, while weak
ness was noted IN the common
grades as compared with the close
of last week.
Increased receipts of hogs at east
ern centers created a bearish under
tone in the hog department and when
a basis of trade was reached prices
were quoted Toe lower. Price range
for the day was 1925 a 1000.
Weaker figures prevailed in the
live mutton trade, influenced in a
measure by sharp breaks reported at
other centers. Locally the run was
light.

THE BLOOD OF THE RoATsWAIN.

The story of John Thomas has been 9 favorite in the forecastles of British ships for a hundred and fifty years, so it naturally has developed numerous versions, and no man can say which is the correct one. A few facts touch ing the strange adventures of John are of official record, showing that the story has a foundation of truth; but most of the details are tradition. One weak point is common to all the yer sions. The hero of the story was hanged for murdering the boatsWain, although the body of the boatsWain was not found, which is in conflict with British law; yet this weak point is the one part of the story that has the strongest backing of official record.
 It was the day before Christmas, in one of the latter years of the eight eenth century, when John Thomas, a sailmaker, set forth to visit his moth CT, who lived near Deal. Reaching that town in the evening, he was too tired to finish his journey that night, so he put up at an inn presided over by a businesslike landlady. who in formed him that the house was crowd ed by reason of the Yuletide festivi- ties, and he couldn't be accommodated unless he was willing to share room and bed with her uncle, who was the
