for us? But if Mr.. Sherman has any
other object in mind, say CONNER
cial or political then he is just as
unquali6edly wrong.
Disregarding the moral aspect of
it, such policy would be most in
furious to the interests of the Jew
ish people themselves For, consider.
Suppose other groups, religious or
racial, did the same thing, and Irish
Catholics, and Swedish Lutherans
and Scotch Presbyterians formed a
solid group each, sticking togeth
err for all purposes each having
FIRST consideration of it's OWL
what kind of community would
this be to live in? How far would
a Jew then get in his business or his
other material interest?
But there is moral aspect to it
that is even more important. Politi-
cally and economically, the Jew in
this country and in many other
countries at the present time has
no interests different from those of
his fellow-c citizens. Artihcially to
create or to stimulate such interests
is unpatriotic and therefore i'm
moral. We are all interested in the
welfare Of our common country and
of the community in which we all
live We are sharers in the prosper
ity and the adversely of our fellow
citizens. 1t would be different, Of
course, if our fellow-citizens were
to unite against us to do us injury.
We should then be justified to stand
together for defense. But that is
not the case. Granted there is some
anti ewish pre- JUDGE among GER
tain elements or classes; but it is of
so little consequence as far as our
material welfare is concerned that
we can afford to ignore it. Why,
then stand together? For what rea-
son, or purpose?

ENEMY" FLEET IS
NOT YET LOCATED

Washington, Aug. 24.-The "en-
emy" has not been located This was
all the news OF the naval war game
that slipped by the censors today. No
important information was obtained
from any Of the intercepted radio
grams picked up by the defending
feet on the Atlantic coast. Two more
theoretical problems were cent by the
navy department to shore stations
One was that the department had re-
ceived reliable information that an
attempt would be made to blow up
magazines along the coast. The 9th
er was that an attempt would be
made to fire the naval oil tanks at
Narragansett bay. The commanders
at the various points on receipt OF
these messages Immediately began
work on reports to the departments
telling what theoretical steps were
taken against such action.

WHERE CREDIT is DUE.

While all credit may be due Mr..
Smith for the great work he did to-
ward agricultural development in the
north. it is still to be borne in mind
that it was r. B. Miller, as traffic
manager of the O.-W. r. & n. whose
judgment saw the need of the dis
trict and whose judgment picked the
man to carry the policy out. Now it
is r. B. Miller, vice-president Of the
California & Oregon Coast railway,
who brings the personality Of Mr..
Smith into this locality. While 1t is
not our fortune to have the Union
Pacific agriculturist with us longer
than few days. 1t certainly is to our
advantage that we do have Mr.. Miller
with his tireless energy and far
seeing vision OF development. Every
additional field of corn or alfalfa. and
every dairy herd, which mean bust
ness for his railroad, also mean bust.
ness for the locality, and business
means success and prosperity.

The Hague. Aug. 24.-The sub
marine Deutschland was slightly
damaged on her return trip from the
United States, according to Bremen
dispatches today. She took the same
route on the return trip as on the
voyage to Baltimore. members Of the

The Bremen dispatches also car
ried the statement that the submarine
Bremen, sister ship to the Deutsch-
land, left for America only q few days
ago. She was held in port until the
Deutschland's owners received posi-
tive information that the Deutsch-
land had eluded the allied patrol
along the Atlantic coast.
Captain Koenig is being lionized
by the Bremen crowds as a national
hero.
The Deutschland brought three
bags Of mail from Ambassador Won

Miller who obtained Mr.. Smiths sot-
vices for the northern road just be-
fore the development OF the dairy In

which the latter gentleman Is largely
given credit. the visit into the Rogue

anticipation. Mr., Smith Is never
known to fail in inspiring any COM
munity visited with an amount Of
ginger and optimism which last long
after HIS departure. He will find the
farmers and business men OF south

tive frame Of mind. and will hnd the
atmosphere already charged with the
spirit Of progress and activity.
Regarding Mr.. Smith. Vice
President Miller says:
He is q student Of agriculture Of
many years experience. and a speak
er on agricultural subjects OF nation
al renown. Although his work is
confined to territory Of the Union Pa
cific lines In Oregon. Washington. and
Idaho. he constantly has requests for
visits to many other states. The
people OF southern Oregon. and Of
Josephine county in particular. are
fortunate In having Mr.. Smith visit
Grants Pass at this time. Mr.. Smiths
addresses are always interesting and
and are attended by large
crowds wherever he appears. No

The new rate went into effect on
