ORGANIZED CHARITY.

The Jewish conception Of charity is
not what is commonly understood by
the term. 1t is not mere almsglvlng.
In fact, in the old Jewish economy,
almsgiving was not at all considered
charity. The Hebrew phraseology has
not even term for this kind of we'll
doing. This sort of benevolence is
designated in Hebrew as "Z'dakah,"
which means Righteousness "duty,
for to the Jew the relief of poverty
is duty which he owes not only to
the poor, but to society and himself as
well. The reason for this position is
to be found in the great sociological
principle of the INTERPOLATION between
the classes which was long ago recog-
nized by Our teachers For, according
to our sages, God, or Providence, has
SO arranged the universe that it IS to
the interest of all men that poverty
and it's attendant ills should be reduc-
ed to their lowest proportions. The
rich is but a steward of the posses
sions entrusted to his care. While
Providence has not bestowed the same
measure of the worlds goods upon
all, yet, in creating man with noble
instincts and fine susceptibllltles, 1t
desired that he should care for others
and that he should wisely adjust mat
tiers.

IABOTINSKY, FREE LANCE.

The Inflated effort Of the late Sir
Roger Easement to stir up the Irish
to revolt against their British mas
tiers is matched in it's design, though
not in it's outcome, by a modern
would-be Bar Cochba by the name
of Jabotinsky who, when the war
broke out, acquainted the British
authorities in Egypt with his plan
to organize a Jewish regiment on the
Egyptian frontier which should IN
wade Palestine and attempt to wrest
it for the Jews from the Turk. In
stead of being permitted to under
take this foolhardy task, luckily for
him, the British authorities diverted
his command to Gallipoli, where 1t
was known by the unattractive name
of the "Zion Mule Corps and as
signed arduous and disagreeable du-
ties, which, however, it faithfully,
CALAMITY las the British writer's say
and even heroically discharged.
With the failure of the Gallipoli ex-
petition, Jabotinsky went to Eng
land, where he has been making

THE IMMIGRANT.

Every nation, it seems, needs some
particular class of people of whom it
can make a scapegoat for its own
sins. Every European and Asiatic
country has one There is generally
a certain class of people Of some par
ticular nationality, faith, or origin,
that has to suffer for the follies and
foibles Of the dominant and stronger
classes
This country is SO peculiarly con-
stituted that none Of the lines Of de-
marcation prevalent in other lands
could be drawn here. Hence, the
problem has for long time been
perplexing one. Different methods
have at different times been employed
by individuals and classes to show
that it is "the other fellow or fell
lows we must hold responsible for all
that is bad in America
All attempts having failed in this
direction, an ingenious and novel
scheme has been invented lately to
place our burden upon somebody else's
back. The immigrant, it has been
found, would best answer the pur
pose. He is the least influential, the
most defenseless and helpless, and,
therefore, the safest proposition to
tackle. Besides, opposition to him
would even given the appearance of
patriotism with the minimizing masses.
For these reasons the cry has gone
out from some of Our pseudo-patriots
and peanut-politicians for the closing
of our gates to the immigrant.

further trouble by stimulating the
plan to force the Russian Jews to
enlist in the British army. An
agent of his is at present organizing
Jewish Canadian regiment. Jabot-
insky is apparently irrepressible. He
seems to enjoy high favor in British
circles, but he is heartily detested
by British ]cwry as he is by our Pal
estinian brethren whose lives he
rashly impcriled by his wild scheme.
If Easements plan to detach Ireland
from the British Empire was insane,
what shall be said of Jabotinsky's
scheme, in view of the fact that Jews
cannot be said to have even today
a secure foothold in the land of their
fathers? There wasn't the shadow
of chance of success for Jabotin-
sky's dramatic design, and yet the
spectacle of a Jewish military unit
commended for it's bravery has un-
doubtedly raised the estimate of our
people in the minds of the European
powers. One of the most effective
pieces Of advertising our people have
had during the war has been the
unique name and the heralded fame
of the "Zion Mule Corps. THE

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

However, this conception of money
giving does not rob charity of it's
merits. While the act itself is mere
ly the performance of duty, yet the
manner Of giving may contain grace
and nobility. Thus, if we give of our
money, and give cheerfully, when we
value it most, and do not wait until it
has lost all it's uses for us; in other
words, if the giving involves sacri-
flee, no matter how small, on our part,
the act may be regarded as truly char
liable.
On the other hand, if we wait to
distribute our wealth until we our
selves have passed beyond the need
and the use of it, if we merely throw
a superfuous crust from an over
loaded table, or, if we give only when
promised that our names shall appear
among the generous DONORS" the act
lacks the very quality of benevolence.
AS to modern organized charity
WHICH, We llldl LII NO1INA
tons of social life make the personal
contact between the giver and the re-
ceiver wellnigh impossible, that the
stream of sympathy between the rich
and the poor might completely run
dry without the medium of an organ
ization, we may readily concede to
organized charity most worthy
place among the grazing activities of
human kind.
Moreover, thousands of wealthy
people, who could not otherwise be
reached, are, today, by well-organlzed
and persistent efforts, made to con-
tribute their share, and thousands of
poor people are, by well-systematlzed
and studied means, not only redeem
ed from poverty and misery, but ele-
waited to the dignity of useful, self-sus-
tanning and self-respecting individuals.

Rounania and Her Jews.

With the entrance of Roumanla in
to the present war about $4,000 more
Jewish soldiers we're added to the
more than half a million Jews who
are fighting the battles of the Euro
pean countries. Roumania has a
Jewish population or nearly half a
million, all of whom, with the excep-
ton of a few hundred, are regarded
as aliens by the government and
treated as such in national legisla
tion Now, these aliens are called
upon to defend their fatherland and
homes.
The perhdy of Roumania in her
treatment of the Jews has been over
looked by the nations of Europe, who
were signatorius to the Berlin Treaty.
Only a few years ago, during the
Balkan War, when thousands of Jews
were fighting in behalf of Roumania,
the government issued a promise that
all Jews who had joined the army
would be regarded as Roumanian
citizens. This promise, which was
hailed with delight by all Jews, was
apparently never meant in seriousness,
for Roumania never carried it into
practice
The London Daily Telegraph of
last Friday announced that all Rou
manians of military age who lived in
England will be drafted into the Eng
lish army There are several hun
dred "Roumanians" plying the tail
oring trade in the Jewish quarter in
London who will now for the first
time find out that they are Rou
manians and not aliens in their own
land, when they will be told to give
up their lives for their mother country.
