MONKEYSHINES, Of humanity, were

beautiful prehen-

selves happily from the branches OIL

TO whom Mr.. Barnes and DR.. Butler are
so fond of applying it.
The Fathers played very happily
among the trees. They were careless OF
the future, and they were probably
equally careless of the past. They had,
however. the habit of looking backward.
They had to look back to see their beau
tiful tails. And that may be why they
lived precisely as their forefathers did
before them, unvexed by intellectual and
social problems and dressmakers' bills,
rcmping about in a world IN which
there was nothing new under the sun.
Then came the first radical-The
Monkey-without-a-Tail.
He stood a little straighter than his
fellows and his forehead did not slope
back at such an acute angle and ne nao
the beginnings of a regular nose. He
was troubled beneath his bony Uranium
with vague ideas about the future OF the
race.
He said 1t was silly to be always look
ing backward. 1t was silly to be playing

time to come down out of the trees and
build shelters on the earth, to walk up
right on their hind feet, to tame the
beasts to work for them, to settle down
and get together and begin to be men.

THE JEWISH CAPTAIN
BY DR.. Mendel SLIDER, Editor, Jewish Ledger.

M&%\$%NM%%MM%>$%>N%$%NM OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Here is a sweet morsel for anti
Semites and JeW-haters, especially
for those who belong to the allied
nations of Europe. Captain Paul
koenig who accomplished the mar
velous feat of bringing the German
submarine Deutschland" to this
country is Jew So is also the man
who designed that wonderful craft,
which eluded the entire English fleet
and which, by it's arrival in this
country established new mode of
communication between America
and Germany, Jew. Nay more,
the whole ingenious plan of using
submarines as merchant vessels in
an attempt to solve the perplexing
problem of import and export, we
feel safe in venturing to assert,
sprang from the master mind of
Jew-Albert Balm.
That anti-Semites belonging to
the nations that are inimical to Ger
many might readily make capital of
all such facts is quite apparent For
tunately, however, Germany is not
the only country that has derived
great benefits from Jewish brains
and Jewish bravery. German anti
Semitcs might with equal justice
attack our people because it was
through Jew principally that Eng
land has been able to manage her
finances and to secure additional
funds in a time of need. Further
more, Jewish regiments rendered
most valuable services to England
in Turkey, Jewish soldiers saved
many difficult situation for the
English Army, while both, the Jew
ish Home Secretary and the new
Minister of Munitions, have in
scribed their names indelibly upon
the records of English patriotism
But, there is really no nation en-
gagged in the bloody conflict that
has not received and accepted the
most valuable services from its
Jewish citizens or subjects. This
fact is attested by the number Of
generals and other officers of high
rank in the armies of France and
Austria, by the number of Jews oc-
cupying positions of highest trust
and honor in Italy, by the hundreds

of decorations, medals and awards
that have come to Jews in every
army of Europe, by the fact that
even in Russia the iron cross hangs
over the brave breast of thousand
Jews and that, in spite of her re-
strlctlons and precautionary dis
ordinations, Russia has been COM
PEELED to advance number of Jew
ish warriors to the rank of officer,
while one Jew, Lurie, who was but
few weeks ago killed in action, had
exhibited such unparalleled brav-
cry and such unprecedented hero
ism that he had been advanced to
the station of colonel And yet the
whole and full story of Jewish patri-
otism and self-sacrifcing service in
every land of his birth and adoption
has not yet been told. For instance,
it is not generally known, and in
this country it is perhaps not known
at all, that in the wonderful defense
the French troops were able to put
forth in the forts in and about YER
dun a Jewish commandant by
the name of Raynal figured most
prominently. This commandant,
in defending the fort of Vaux, ex-
hibited heroism so rare and accom-
plishcd a strategic feat SO marvellous
that the enemy itself, upon captur-
ing the fort, permitted him to retain
his sword and to wear his decora-
tons, while his own government
conferred upon him awards and
honors far above his rank and sta
ton.
1t will probably take some time
before the world shall be in po-
sition to judge fully the incredible
services the ew has rendered to
the cause of patriotism in every bel
ligerent country. But whenever the
full extent of Jewish heroism in the
present war, shall become known, it
will stand out SO prominently and
conspicuously that anti-Semitic at
tacks and accusations will have to be
regarded as alterations of the mind
and the wonderful feat accom-
pished by the Jewish captain of the

merely as one incident in many in

Justice Brandeis Resigns from Con-
gress and Relief Committees.

Justice Louis D. Brandeis has ten
dered his resignation to the Con-
gress Organization Committee and
to the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee. In explanation, his secre-
tary, Jacob deIaas, said that Mr..
Brandeis' judicial duties prevented
him from giving the necessary time
to the work of these committees. 1t
is understood that the Justice will
retain his interest in other Jewish
organizations.
No reason is given by Justice
Brandeis in his letter Of resignation
to the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee, which he sent to Felix NJ
Warburg, it's treasurer. The letter
is dated from Boston, July Fl, and
reads:
my dear Mr.. Warburg:
81 regret that l feel compelled to
resign from the Executive Commit
tee of the American Jewish Relief
Committee and, of course, also from
the Joint Distribution Committee.
"Will you please present my res
ignation at the next meeting of the
committee
"Yours very truly,
"LOUIS D. BRANDEIS."
1t was said by those prominent in
the Congress movement that the
Justice had been offended by re-
marks Of speakers at the recent Ho-
tel Astor Conference, when a spir-
tied debate ensued on the Congress
question. 1t is believed that he re-
signed from activity in the Congress
organization because he did not de-
sire to expose himself and the Of
flee he fills to criticism.

IN RECOGNITION OF THE 1916
- .... GRADUATES.

Since the announcement by the
pastor, Rev. B. N. Murrell, that the
service Sunday night, July 2, will
be in recognition of the members of
the 1916 graduating classes from the
high schools, colleges and university,
keen interest on the part of St. Paul
citizens has centered itself upon that
event. Already it is being talked of
in the homes of the first high school
graduates, many of whom are already
planned to be present. One feature
of the service that will be entirely
unique is the introduction of former
graduates to the audience.
Since the sacrifice on the part of
parents and children alike is so very
great, and since to graduate from the
city high schools is such marked
achievement in the lives of the young
men and women, it is believed that
this service will add new impetus to
the efforts of the struggling students.
It is hoped, therefore, that the parents
will bring to this service their boys
and girls who are now undergrad
yates in the city schools to this serv-
ice. College men and women are
especially invited.
Two minute talks will be made by
representatives of former graduating
classes. The addresses of the even
ing will be made by Secretary of
State, Hon. julius A. Schmahl, the
Mayors private sec'y, Larry Ho," and
S. E. Hall, chairman Of the Trustee
Board of the church. William T.
Francis, Esq, will preside.
The following are among the 1916
graduating classes: Central High
School, Virginius James Henley, Luke
Paul Vassar and George Manning;
Mechanic Arts High School, James
Lloyd Stevens; st. Thomas College
Robert Earl Weber; University OF
Minnesota, Miles A. Cannon. These
young men will be seated on the
platform. The congregation is re-
quested to assemble at 1880 and fol
thirty minutes listen to the pipe organ
recital by Mr.. Robert H. Strong.
