Jews See Great
Opportunity in War.

JCWS SCS 0ACot
Opportunity in War. ouality
and until the war broke out in 1914
there was not much prospect that he
ever would be. In the present conflict,
however. the Jews see their opportu
nifty; because the European Jews have
had a chance to demonstrate that they
are loyal subjects of whatever flag they
happen to be born under. because in
the general reorganization that will
come with peace. one radical change
more or less will be much more prac-
ticable than it would coming alone. and
because they believe that the European
powers at the conclusion of the CON
fiict will be in mood to listen to
them.
The large significance of the situa-
ton should not be overlooked 1t is the
first time that any such number OF
Jews have gotten together to pull for
common end. They have yet to prove
that the national Jewish congress will
get through its sittings without split
ting on the rocks of factionalism that
almost prevented its meeting, but if il
does. it will mark a new epoch in the
history of people 5000 years old, and
ii may foreshadow the rise of new
influence to be reckoned with in world
affairs.
Jew wrote to Mark Twain and asked
him some questions on the Jewish
problem. In his reply Mark Twain in
dicated that he thought the Jews would
occupy larger place in public and po-
litical life if they worked together
more smoothly. with a vote like the
Jewish vote in New York" said Twain.
or words to that effect, the Irish
would control the kingdom of heaven"
The Jewish racial bent does not lie to-
ward politics. however. and it is probably
just well that the Jews do not organ
ize and vote as a body But it is also
one of the fundamental weaknesses of the
Jews as race in their dealings with
different nations.
The position of the Jews has been one
of the curious anomalies of history. They
have always held

vet they are the stock illustration of
prosecuted people, and in many places
they are still prosecuted today. Their
power apparently does them no good
as a weapon of defense, and the reason
seems to lie as Mark Twain implied,
largely in the fact that they do not
work together. The power of one Jew
is limited to his individual strength.
instead of being rooted in the strength
of his section of the body polite.
Thus the emancipation of the Jews in
lands has come always
from without rather than from within.
In England today the lord chief justice
is a Jew: in the United States a Justice
of the Supreme Court is Jew; they
enjoy, of course, in these countries
every right and privilege that every
body else does. But their status re-
fleets the degree of enlightenment of
the nation they live in, rather than any
toward freedom of their own.
They have equality in England be-

ELMER RITeooD READY TO MEET GREAT BARTELLo Challenges 5arteIIo to Duplicate His
 Feats.

Elmer G. Bitgood, who claims the title as strongest man on earth, states his side of the story, in regards to the quarrel among the strong men, as follows:
 q say the strongest man in the world is the man who has authority on the subject and never has been beaten. I will say that there has been considerable said in regards to the Great BartelIo and myself. AL three weeks, I would like to inform the people interested in this present squabble that I have personally chal- lenged the Great Bartello to come and duplicate my feats of strength with two-hand lift and other feats at the home of J. P. Bitgood on PlainfieId street, where am stopping at pres ent, and I offered him a good sum of money and first class transportation to the place before several witnesses. Bartello positively refused to meet me at my lifts. Bartello has informed the public that he is. the stronger man of us two by his remark that my feats are nothing to boast of, so I have offered him, (should he meet me In a two hand contest, a lift from start to finish over the head as high as can reach to determine the strong CT or to lift a platform with his back or to pull dead weight on a stone drag. that would produce the goods on the stage before Bartello's own au- dience. BarteIIo would not agree to meet me in any of these forms which offered him, so I think that I have done all in my power. cannot get Bartello the Great to enter in con test of strength with me and vii, have the right to claim the title as strongest man on earth until Bartello comes or brings any of his great mer and outfits me.
 q am stopping in Plainfield for short time and would like to have Bartello or any of the famous men that he has seen come up to my place and attempt the lifts that have men toned.
 My idea of a strong man is not the man who can do one little feat. or tell of what he has done, or what he has heard or read that some one else has done and speak until his breath gets hot Such men are better in putting up balloons and not dunn bells. My idea is the man who can produce the goods and show the peo- pie how to handle them. I have the goods and can handle them also and if Bartello or any one should like tc contend for the title they are wei come. My proposition is not unrea- sonable for it is simply Q two hand grapple with a bar dumbbeIl from the floor to arms length over the head as high as one can reach.
 I noticed statement in this paper that someone ought to take down my sign, but will say whoever wrote if had better bring Bartello along with them for 1t is a very difficult task to undertake.
 Whenever Bartel1o or anyone fol- lows me through with my feats Of strength will let you all know abou.

WILL BATTLE TODAY FOR TITLE|
Tufts to Play Harvard in Stadium for Championship of Eastern Collegiate Baseball ~ Mahan Will Oppose Whitaker

has been set by Tufts. Under the able coaching of Jack Slattery there have been developed no less than six men who appear of league calibre while the remaining members of the team rank very high in college circles.
 Crimson Pulls Through in Pinches.
 Harvard's record falls somewhat short of that of Tufts, but the Grim son team has evidenced a faculty of coming through In pinches that may mean more than past records when the pitcher. who quite often is placed in the outheld when not working in the box, is it's leading batsman with an average of 1875. Harte, is great catcher and has a batting average of .343. BeaIs it's third sacker. has an average of .319. aBd Coolidge its center fielder, completes its list of 300 or bet ter hitters, with an average of .302 But Harvard has stars in Captain Nash, it's first baseman. Abbott, it's second baseman and Reed, it's short stop, all of whom. although not fgur- ing so high in the batting averages are dangerous men. and may prove the ones to break up the game.
 Mahan to Oppose Whitaker.
 That Coach Mitchell of Harvard will use Mahan against the Tufts crew seems certain but whether Coach Stat tery will send Whitaker or O'Mara against the Crimson is yet to be de- cided Coach Slattery has stated that he was still undecided as to his selec- ton, but was inclined to think Whit taker would be the man.
 Whatever be the selection the game bids fair to prove the greatest in East ern college baseball history and the at- tending scouts may fill many note books on the performances of the con- testing players.
