YlIlIStaS were Killed in the second
General engagement between the ban
dit chiefs followers and the cavalry
Of General Pershing's punitive expedi-
lion. A number of prisoners were
received by General Funston from
General Pershing.

under the command of Col. w. G.
Brown, surprised a Villista band

one of the goals Villa himself has been
reported making for.
The Villistas were completely rout-
ed. Not one American was even
wounded, as far as reports received
here say. The bandits were pursued
through San Antonio, Chihuahua
Colonel Browns men came upon the
Villistas while they were eating their
MONDAY meal. The Mexicans were
dismounted and unorganized They
fled at the first volley fired into them
Those able to reach their horses threw
themselves in the saddle and galloped
off, hardly pausing to return the fire

part in the Villa raids and massacres.
Horses and Arms Captured.
A large number of horses, saddles
and side arms was captured by
Browns troopers, who are part of the

airy regiment.
Some reports of the engagement
state that Brown first encountered
the Villistas at Rugio and pursued
them through San Antonio. Different
statements are made as to where the
fight started, but all reports agree
that the Villistas were chased through
the town of San Antonio. The en-
gagement occurred somewhere in the
vicinity of Aqua Calientas, which is
20 miles southeast of the noted Bachi-
niba pass.
General Pershing's report OF the
fight was forwarded to General Fun
ston by Major Evans by courier from
Rubio. Stories of the battle had al
ready reached San Antonio through
Mexican sources, but had been rather
discredited until Pershings official
confirmation.
General Funston also announced
that it was Colonel Brown who com

more than 100 Villistas were killed

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-05-19
JUDAISM AND RATIONALISM

Judaism in it's essentials is a ra-
tional religion. 1t has, therefore,
nothing to fear from the critical on
slaughts of the Rationalists, when
they attack the traditional ideas and
doctrines Of religion. Judaism has
of course, in the process Of it's growth
and development adopted and assnm-
Hated ideas and traditions that do
not square with rational or scientific
thought. But these may be thrown
off without injury or loss to Juda-
ism's eSsence-the divine law of con-
duct.
True, the Rationalist's criticism,
especially when coming in contact
with superficial mind, will at first
unsettle a persons faith, and make
of him a sceptic and scoffer. But
the remedy for that is little deeper
thinking, more serious reflection.
That will inevitably lead to a more
religious view of the world and of
life. 1t will be found the best phil
osophy Of life, the only safe escape
from animalism, selhshness and brut-
atty. Besides there is more to
Jewishness or Judaism than religion.
The bond of union between lew and
Jew is also part of it.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The NEGRO problem so-called, has
a two-fold interest for the American
Jew. In the first place a Jew is
accustomed to wake, eat, live and
sleep with "problem" casting it's
bleak shadow constantly before him.
He knows the fear of prejudice, in
justice, oppression. He has felt the
impotency of being in helpless min
GRITTY. In all these respects the prob
lem of the Jew is to some degree
comparable to the problem of the
negro.
On the other hand, the Negroes
problem is really the white mans
problem. 1t is claimed that like a
deepening shadow, an ever growing
darkness is slowly creeping north
ward threatening to engulf the ma
ton. No other great nation has this
problem. No other nation is so
threatened. If it is true, if negro
blood is slowly creeping into the
veins of the nation, is there not here
another problem for the Jew?
The anti-assimilationist who fears
the mingling of Jewish and white
Gentle blood, what will he think of
the mingling of Jewish and black
Gentle blood?

By the way, why doesn't some one
get Shylock new trial? Aside
from the fact that he was not repre-
scented by counsel, that opposing
counsel was never legally admitted
to practice, that he was deprived Of
trial by jury, there were a number
of other glaring irregularities in that
memorable hearing which no court
would sanction today.
