impudence BETTING a Cossack he
pooh-poohs the passport question,
the authentic accounts Of Russian
atrocities against the Jews, and
everything else unfavorable to Rus
STA. He sees nothing but business.
If Americans can do big business
in Russia, nothing else matters.
Thus do we have in Stanley Wash

our government are nothing. They
are written only on scraps of paper"
Democracy, equality, honor and 10y

BABY WEEK."

'Baby Week. will be observed
throughout the United States the
week of March All. In Minneapolis,
the Federation Of Women's Clubs
will have charge of the campaign,
working in cooperation with various
social agencies; such as the Settle
ment, the Infant Welfare Society,
the Visiting Nurses, the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Committee, and the Won
ems Clubs.
The purpose of the "Baby Week"
is two-fold; first, of giving the par
ents in community an opportunity
of learning the facts with regard to
the care of their babies, and second,
to bring home to everyone in the
community the Importance of the
babies, the facts relating to babies
of that special community, and the
need of permanent work for their
welfare.
The Children's Bureau of the U.
S. Department of Labor submits
some interesting facts about child
welfare.
1t is estimated that in the United
States one out of every six babies
born dies during it's first year of life.
Half the deaths of babies under one
year are preventable, the chief cause
of these deaths is ignorance. For
every baby who dies five endure un-
necessary sickness and many are
handicapped for life as result.

EDl TORlAL
WASHBURN, AMERICAN
PATRIOT.

In our last weeks issue there ap-
peared the reproduction Of cartoon
from The American Hebrew in
which our own Stanley Washburn,
at one time worker in the ranks
of the Progressives, figures as new
type of American patriot. Wash
burn has returned to this country
from the European battlehelds in
new role. When we say the Euro
pean battlehelds we do not mean
that he was engaged in the danger
Gus occupation of fighting. His
weapon was only pencil or foun-
tain-pen; for he was the correspond
ent from the Russian front for the
London "Times." The London
Times has been a Russophile paper
for some time. 1t has curried favor
with the Russian bureaucracy even
to the extent Of showing decided an
ti-Jewish leanings. All that was be-
fore the war.
Now England is Russia's ally.
We can we'll imagine what kind of
reports the Times expected from it's
correspondent in the East European
war zone Washburn could not see
anything but what was favorable to
Russia and the cause of the allies.
There is nothing So comical as
Washburn's war-reports. Accord
ing to him Russia has not suffered
any defeat at all. What seemed to
be defeats were only SO many bril-
liant retreats or maneuvers on the
part of Russia's military geniuses.
AS a correspondent for Russo
phile newspaper and for the allies
Washburn certainly filled the bill.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD


more faithful servant.
But that really does not concern
us. What is of some interest to us
is this. Washburn had gotten into
the habit of seeing only pleasant
things in Russia. The Russian gov
eminent has way Of producing
such an impression upon gulllble
strangers. And Russia found Wash
burn consciously or unconsciously
gullible enough. Washburn being
an American, the scion of a we'll
known family Of American states
ment and patriots, Russia saw a
splendid opportunity of playing her
little diplomatic game with Amer
lea. Why not use this same Wash
burn as a mediator between herself
and Uncle Samuel? Surely no one
had better opinion Of her or could
represent her cause more ardently
than he Why should he not help
Russia to obtain a renewal of her
treaty relations with the United
States?
Such is Washburn's new role in
this country. He is here as Rus
sia's advocate His object is to in
duce the American people to form
a new commercial treaty with Rus
STA. He knows very we'll why the
American government has so far re-
fused to do so. Russia has all along
defed the American government,
heaped contempt upon the Ameri-
can people, by refusing to recognize
and honor an American passport
when presented by Jewish American
citizens To form new treaty with
such a country means to violate our
own most sacred principle Of gov
eminent, viz: political equality.
How can we have treaty relations
with country that discriminates be-
tween our citizens? TO enter into
such relations means that we ap-
prove of such discrimination. If we
approve of it, why not introduce it
among ourselves? If a Jew is, with
our approval, less of an American
citizen while abroad, how long will
it be before he is declared so even
at home? That is the way the Amer
lean people must look upon this mat
ter.
That, however, does not trouble
Russia's new emissary, our friend
Washburn. He knows the CONNER
cial spirit Of the times. He knows
what charm there is in the word
''business. And so he comes here
singing the siren song Of business.

 FOR TRADE CONFL LICT WHEN WAR IS OVER
MT. Redfield Says American Business Mea Must Bor- row German Organiza-

Washington February S.-Secretary Redfield pictured titanic struggle for the worlds commerce after the Euro pean war with the United States, Ger many and England the three great trade rivals. American business, he declared, must borrow German organi- zation and British tenacity, perfecting at the same time Yankee methods, if it would emerge victorious for the trade war.
 Vocational education, the secretary said, was one of American manufac- turers' greatest needs.
 Better methods of employing and dealing with labor was urged by Dr. Nichols Industrial relations, he de- clared, suffered when business grew to such proportions that personal re- lations ceased to exist between em- so ,ialism were more than vague shad- ows, he added, and the socialist was growing for one reason, because labor felt it was being exploited.

MUSCLE SHOALS POSSIBLE

Washington, February S.--(Special)
 The Senate now has up for consideration
 the Shields dam bill.
 Under the provisions of this bill the government is authorized to cooperate with corporations In the construction of dams for purposes of navigation and power generation. It is of special in- terest to Alabama on account of the
 Muscle Shoals project in particular, and numerous other and smaller projects in general.
 Should the Shields bill be enacted into law, the Muscle Shoals Hydro Electric
 Development company would be author ized to attempt negotiations with the government whereby money enough could be raised to make the Tennessee navigable from mouth to source and generate power sufficient to light the en- tire south, and filch nitrogen from the
 atmosphere for the manufacture of gun powder and fertilizer.
 There is a clause of the Shields bill, however, which, it is said. does not give particular comfort to prospective deve,- I opment companies.

Little Activity Elsewhere. Kitchener aria Take Com mand of the Forces in
 Egypt, Says Report

London, February S.-Artillery actions between the French and British and the Germans continue at various points on he Franco Belgian front, but there have been no important changes in positions anywhere. Nor have the Germans yet egun the great offensive for which they are reported to be preparing.
 Heavy fighting has broken out again in east Galicia. All along the front the artillery has been very active. The Rus sians succeeded north of Tarnopol after repeated attacks in penetrating the Aus tro-Hungarian advanced infantry posts but were elected from them later on, ac- cording to Vienna.
 In the Austro-Italian theatre there have been only artillery duels.
 In the Balkans all is quiet.
 Austrian warships in the Adratic have Intellectually attempted to torpedo Brit ish cruiser and French torpedo boat which were aiding the Servan army in it's evacuation of the Adriatic coast. A Teuton submarine also attempted to sin, two entente allied vessels off Durazzo but the torpedoes missed their mark.

TRENCHES HEALTHIER

Amount of Disease Is Less in the
 Field and Mortality Rate Is Not So High

Paris, February S.-Life in the trenches is healthier for the French soldiers now Etten in barracks dEfing peace times ac- oording to official figures issued today by the army medical department.
 The cases of measles scarletina, mumps diphtheria and cerebro-spinal meningitis were more numerous in the army during 1911 than in 191o These diseases, together with typhoid and dys- entery, averaged I'll per thousand men in 1911, as compared with 602 per thou sand men last year.
