m1nistratlOn to Take Action.
Washington, March 9.-The inva-
sion of the United States by Mexicans,
the battle at Columbus, N. NJ, and the
immediate counter invasion Of Mexico
by United States troops have together
served to precipitate the most serious
issue with Mexico since the occcupa-
ton of Vera Cruz.
Official reports to the state and war
departments today said that the band
of from 500 to 1000 Mexicans, led by
General Villa, had killed eight and
wounded twelve Americans, soldiers
and civilians. The Mexicans were
driven back across the border, with a
loss of as killed.
The state department was not advis-
ed of Colonel Slocum's action in
crossing the border until about 5
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
following report was issued:
"Slocum reports by telephone and
asks me to repeat that Villa himself
led charge through camp, with force
estimated at 500 to 1000. Eleven
Mexicans killed in camp. Four en-
listed men kille dand one officer and
seven men wounded. Prisoners state
Villo vowing death all Americans.
Villa retreated into hills southeast.
Slocum sent five troops into pursuit,
with orders not to 60 more than two
miles beyond border. Slocum thinks
he has enough to handle situation, and
recommends that cavalry be sent IT
any number of troops are to go after

DESERVES CREDIT.

Captain LIE Roy Eltinge's book
on The Psychology of War, in which
the Jew gets the usual compliments
handed out to him by anti-Semitic
ignorance, stupidity and malice, will
soon undergo the necessary revi
sion, and the Objectionable passages
will be expunged. This information
is conveyed in letter from VIM. M.
Ingraham, Acting Secretary of War,
to J. P. Tumulty, Secretary to Pres
ident Wilson, who in turn forward
cd it to Mr.. Louis S. Berlin, Man.
ager of The Sentinel, Of Chicago.
Mr.. Berlin deserves credit for having
called the attention of the President
and the War Department to the
scurrilous libels on the Jew indicted
by Captain Eltinge, and for obtain
ing the assurance of the authorities
that such offenses are not tolerated
in the u. S. Army. Let us hope that
Captain Eltinge will now learn to
know the Jew as he really is, and

DIR. SCHMARYA LEVIN.

The Jewish people of Minneapolis
should consider it privilege to hear
DR.. Schmarya Levin whenever he
favors us with visit. He is a schcl-
ar, thinker, and orator. His l<nowl-
edge of Jews and Judaism, of the
philosophy of Jewish history, OF
Jewish ideals and aspirations, is not
surpassed by that of any other ew
in America at the present time. An
evening spent listening to his elo-
quent words will be spent both pleas
urably and profitably. The subject
of his lecture next Sunday evening
at the Talmud Torah hall will be

RACE SUICIDE.

Suicide by the individual is crime
although there is no authentic record
of any successful suicide having ever
been apprehended and convicted. Ma
tional and racial suicide has not yet
been made a crime, but there is much
literature on the subject.
History probably does not record
a deliberate race suicide Aside from
any legal or ethical considerations it
is hardly likely that any considerable
number of people would deliberately
adopt such a policy and cooperate to

OLD FOLKS HOME.

That the Twin Cities with their
growing Jewish population will in
the not distant future, if not ri ght
now, be in need of a Jewish Old
Folks Home goes without saying.
An opportunity is now offered for
the two communities to unite on the
project, for St. Paul is determined
to build a new home anyway, with or
without the cooperation of Mime
apolis. Support for such an institu
ton can be drawn from the entire
state of Minnesota and adjacent
parts of Northwest, since they could
all benefit by it.
But in order to make the enter
prise successful, all the members of
the Jewish communities, all organic
ations, must cooperate. A careful
canvass should be made to ascertain
to what extent they are all willing
to lend support The help of all
congregations and all fraternal socl-
cites should be enlisted in the effort.
It is too big an enterprise for few
well-meaning and enthusiastic indi-
viduals to launch. Let no organiza-
ton have the excuse of saying: We
have not been consulted in the mat
ter and we are under no obligations.

exception it is inconceivable that any
race would tolerate the dissemination
of any such doctrine. Its advocate
would soon suffer from popular dis
approval even though he violated no
law of the land.
This one exception affects the eWs
This people alone have those among
them who advocate race suicide as a
cure for all the ills that Jewish flesh
is heir to- Not the race suicide Of the
childless wedlock, but the suicide Of
the race by intermarriage -assimila-
ton.
Waving a discussion of the ques
ton on it's merits, there are certain
obvious obstacles, to policy of dellb-
crate assimilation, that at least seem
insurmountable Is it not doubtful
whether there are enough gentiles to
90 around who are willing to enter
into the necessary contracts! Granted
or assuming that the Jewish Barklses
may be willin', how about the party of
the second part: But suppose this OBJ
lection untenable, assimilation as a
volitional policy implies deliberate
selection in marriage for reasons of
policy rather than for reasons of
sentiment. Where can be found the
race Of maids or men who, spurning
the pleasures and promptings of ro-
nance, seek an "assimilative' mate?
That matrimonial unions are some
times based on matters Of money, con-
ver1ience, social prestige or business
vantage is commonplace. Race suicide
as nuptia1 consideration is new.
Those who fear as we'll as those
who favor assimilation, are preparing
the funeral baked meats without duly
considering the unusual good health
of the proposed corpse Moreover
there seems something illogical in the
proposition that the best method of
combating persecution is to marry the
prosecutor. Such a proceeding might
be bad for the prosecutor but 1t is
probable the persecutee would also
suffer. There seems something IL
logical in the proposition that the
daughter of the Pale shall marry one
of the fathers of a pogrom.
Practically the Jew cannot commit
race suicide if he would. Actually,
he would not if he could. Sporadic
examples of intermarriage, like freck-
les, are a sign of health
Assimilation is a problem whose
roots go no deeper than the mind. 1t
is a problem for debate. It is flc-
tion not fate 1t bears no promise
CT becoming history. &. l..

The Old Campaign Poster
(PrONidence Lournah

Providence JournaL) How sad to the eye is the old cam
 paign poster Which after election still sticks in full view, Disclosing that someone was only
 boaster And dreamed many dreams that could never come true The fight is all over, the ballots are counted The speeches no longer resound through the hall, The boomerang guns are all spiked and dismounted- The old campaign poster still hangs on the wall. The old campaign poster, the big and bold poster, The confident poster still hangs on the wall. Perchance 'tis picture, enlarged and heroic, Of one who was willing to serve sus with might But heard the returns with the face of a stoic And bade fame goodbye in the midst of the night. His voice like a warning bell rung from a steeple Sent forth an insistant and c1amor Ous call That failed to attract to his side the peepUl, And yet the old poster still hangs on the wall The old campaign poster, the smiling faced poster, The "Vote-fOr- Me" poster still hangs on the wall. The legend it bears is no longer exciting, The portrait shows wrinkles from
 wind and from rain, It simply sticks there, no attention
 inviting The warning it gave was expressed
 all in vain. Twill hang on the wall, a memento
 before us, Like leaves that, though W1tnefeo,
 seem never to fall, And "Sic transit gloria sing in mute

American firms are doing the business. And 1t is not a business, as many suppose. that depends solely upon the misfortune of Europe. It will be even a greater business when the people of this country are allowed to extend their efforts in the upbuilding of Europe, after the fighting. Then will American goods go abroad and in greater quantities than they do today when the percentage of export busi- ness is less than ten per cent. of the entire business done in the country. Contrary to expectations, the harvest for American prosperity is yet to come It should be at it's height when recon struction days dawn over Europe
