Seals Again Plentiful.

Under the precautions taken to pre-
vent the extinction OF the fur seals In
Alaska and the Pribilof Islands the
species has multiplied so rapidly that
the bureau of fisheries now recon.
mends that the killing Of male seals
be resumed.
Ever since the signing OF the pc
lagic treaty between Russia, England.
Japan and our own nation. prohibit
ing the destruction of COW seals upon
the high seas. the government has
taken an occasional census OF the
seals. The last of these fixed the
number of seals owned by the United
States at 30i .S44. as against less than
twenty thousand In 1905.
Resides fur. other possible use OF the
seal is being considered by the bureau
OF fisheries. The scarcity Of the
worlds meat supply and the tremen
dous increase in seals as revealed by
the last census suggest the shipping
of seal meat to the United States for
food. Those who have tasted II say
that meat from young seal is dell
cious in flavor and that seal steak
would be a popular addition TO a fash
ionable hotel menu.

WAR CRIES USED BY THE Jew
They Are Many and In All Tongues,
But Another One Is Said to
Be Coming.

"The Jew has as many war-cries as
there are tongues in Europe, for he
fights with them all; and then he has
his own war.cry. that eternal fearful
cry OF his that In these days is rending
the heavens over Russian and Galician
Polands." g. II. Lipsett writes in the
Century
And still there is another and a
newer cry coming. the war'cry OF the
neutral Jew. To arms! to arms! 0 Is
rael! has arisen, the sudden thunder
ing cry throughout the length and
breadth OF the New York Ghetto and
all the other Ghettos In the larger
cities OF America.
I'VE know, of course, what are the
arms OF the Ghetto Jew: they are
tongue and pen. By means of these
1t is intended to raise the Jew from
! the depths of his ashes and make him
live nation again. A congress OF
American Jews is to be called and II
is to demand. at the conclusion OF the
war. or before IT, the return OF Pales
tine to its ancient owners For the
Jews are a nation. and they must have

That is to say. in brief. that while
nearly three-quarters Of a million Jews
on the European battlehelds are at
one another's throats, In vindication
each OF a different nationality. the
Jews far away from the bursting shells
and glittering bayonets are calling out
to them: No. You are all in the wrong.
For you are all one
1T is not for us TO determine
whether the Jews are a nation. 1t is
not for one man to tell another what
he should be One is what one feels
