OUR GOVERNMENT AND
THE JEWS OF THE WAR
STRICKEN COUNTRIES.

In a memorandum just published
by the state department in Washing
ton, authoritative information is
given on what Our government has
done to bring relief to the suffering
Jews of the war-zones. Its best and
most effective work was done in Tur-
key, as is shown by the following ex-
cerpt from the memorandum:
1.-THE Turkish program, adopted at
the outset of the war for the consol-
idation of the Turkish empire and for
the 'Tukeyfying' of all the various
subject races Of Turkey, included the
plan of compelling the Jewish sub
iects of the countries at war with
Turkey either to become naturallzed
Turkish subjects or leave Palestine.
"The department at once instructed
the American ambassador at Con-
stantinople to attempt to induce the
Ottoman government to resc1nd or
at least to modify these new anti
Jewish regulations.
"The Turkish government gradu-
ally began to make concessions to
ameliorate the hardships imposed

In another column the reader will
find a letter from one of our school
teachers, Mrs. Belle Pearson, of the
F. Room of the Lincoln school.
Teachers like Mrs. Pearson make our
public schools veritable sanctuaries.
We recommend a reading of her let
ter to all those who malign our public
school system as being irreliglous,
and would therefore introduce their
religious, which means sectarlan, ex-
ercises into Our schools. If there IS
any church in the city that teaches a
finer type of religion than Mrs. Pear
son and her pupils exemplify, we
should like to hear from it.

upon the Jews by the Turkish de-
crees. On December 81, 1914, the
ambassador cabled that the Turkish
government had permitted an addi-
tional months time for complying
with the terms of the DEGREES and had
exempted all INDECENT Jews from pay
ment of the Turkish naturalization
fees
"On January %, 1915, Ambassador
Henry Morgenthau cabled, the Tur-
kish government agreed to permit the
Jewish subjects of all nations at war
with Turkey to remain anywhere in
Turkey except Palestine, even if they
did not become Turkish subjects, but
that those Jews in Palestine must
either become subjects or leave. He
reported that about two-thirds of the
Jews in Palestine were ready to be-
come Turkish subjects. The Ten
nessee subsequently landed a large
number of refugees at Alexandria.
"In the summer of 1915 the Egyp-
tan government refused to permit
any more refugees to be brought to
that country while nearby Turkish
seaports were full of refugees await
ing transportation. The Turkish gov
eminent threatened to intern the
refugees. Ambassador Morgenthau
solved this problem by arranging for
their transportation to Crete. Later
the Egyptian government raised its
embargo.'
That our government was able to
accomplish SO much was in no small
measure due to the earnest efforts, the
diplomacy and tact of Mr.. Morgen-
THAI, at that time u. S. Ambassador
at Constantinople. Let us, however,
not forget that he had the full sup
port of the state department in Wash
ington, and that but for the Amer
lean government, hundreds of Jews
in Palestine would have suffered all
the horrors that fall to the lot OF
subjects of enemy nations. The help
given the Jews in their distress IS one
of the many creditable performances
of the present administration.

Hess was silent moment.
Harris gave him shrewd glance.
"Suit yourself" he said with pretend
ed indifference, "but let Inc tell you
it's your only chance. Of course, if
you choose to go to the wall that's
your own business. I'll go now and
attend to my business" And he
walked to the door.
GO to the WALL" Harris had said.
There flashed across the old mans
mind what disaster would mean to
him-to his family. Its your only
chance Harris was right 1t was
a raft Of rescue flung out to him to
save him from being engulfed by the
waves Of failure. He could depend
on Collins for unlimited financial as
sistance It would save the firm

"Wait minute stay" called
the old man hoarsely to Harris. And
the words almost stuck in his throat.
"Send for Rudol ph-talk to him. If
he consents to the arrangement

Harris, always man Of quick &C
ton, pressed the electric disk on the
wall and as soon as the boy came, he
commanded him in quick, decisive
tones, "Send Mr.. Rudolph, Abe, right
away"
The old man sank back Imply into
the armchair. His face was flushed
and his eyes were moist. He held
one transparent old hand to his fine,
gray head. Presently he heard his
sons buoyant steps in the outer Of
fee, and a moment later Rudolph
stood before him. The young mans
handsome face clouded las he looked
apprehensively from his father to
Sam Harris. He was afraid that
they had sent for him to tell him that
the worst had already happened.
"Well?" he asked tensely. "What
is it,"
"It's all up to you now, Rudolph y
returned the credit man promptly.
"The house closes or stays open
just as you say
"What do you mean?" asked the
bewildered Rudolph. "What can |
do" He turned from Harris to
his father, but there was only an ex-
preston of panied, beseechlng en-
treaty in his fathers eyes.
"You've not been worth a fig to
the business yet" began the
credit man again.

A passage in finely written edi-
torial on "The Boy David" in the last
Minneapolis Sunday "Journa'' made
us at once think of our friend, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt 1t occurred to
us that the Colonel must have chosen
the boy David as his prototype. The
passage ran thus: "I1is careful
choice of abundant ammunition, his
trick of carrying a club as a weapon
when his intent was to use sling,
etc. "Who would not at once be re-
minded Of the doughty club-bearing
and phrase-slinging Colonel? OF
course, David really never carried a
club, but only a shepherds staff. But
