TURKS CHECK THE RUSSIANS
Unless America Lays Foundations Now for Big Export
Trade Depression May Follow War, Says Commerce Expert

flood of gold pouring into the United
States as easy money, our manufac-
turers ought to use these profits In
the purchase of the latest and best
machinery. Now is the time to get
down to the strictest, bedrock princl-
pies of manufacturing.
The Ford automobile has not COM
petitors in the foreign markets ans
its export success is due largely to
the factory organization in the De-
troit plant. The increased volume OF
production In almost all lines OF man
ufacture ought TO be great help In
attaining greater efficiency, because
increased volume reduces unit costs.
Aberican Business at Turning Point.
American business has reached a
turning point. Men are now think
ing in millions where a few years ago
they thought in thousands. They
are realizing for the first time the ex-
istence OF foreign markets. They are
beginning to make their first serious
study of foreign trade. Foreign trade
will be dominant element In the
new era which we are beginning.
look to see our manufacture take
a different form. We will export less
raw material, such as wheat and cot
ton and more finished productions,
such as -four and cotton goods. we
are beginning to make our own dyes.
We are beginning to make our own
dyes. We are beginning to import
tin ore and smelt 1t ourselves. All
these are indications of the new phil
osophy Of business.
UP to the present we have regard
ed foreign markets as a dumping
ground for over-productlon, for goods
which the American people failed to
buy. Now we are beginning to learn
that foreign markets desire goods dls-
ferent from those sold at home. We
will make this differentiation In the
future, not only within factories, but
l expect to see factories producing
exclusively for export and manufac-
turing goods just as the foreign mar
ket specifies.

NUSBAUlM'S CASE

at Morgantown for violation OF the

Turks Say the Situation is
Favorable to Them While
Russians Say Otherwise.
PROGRESS IN PERSIA
Little New Light is Thrown
upon Happenings in Greece
of Late.

Further news came to hand today
OF the campaign in the Caucasus
where the Russians recently began an
offensive over wide front and az
mittedly have been making progress
against the Turks. Constantinople
now announces that the Ottoman
armies resisting the Russian advance
have been REINFORCED and have
checked the Russians along the en-
tire front.
Grand Duke Nicholas's forces have
suffered severely in the fighting our
ing the last eight days, according to
the Turkish statement, which claims
that the situation now is favorable to
the Turks, only slight changes in po-
sitions having been effected by the
Russian operations.
On the other hand Petrograd Of
fetal statement claims that the cam
paign in the Caucasus is developing
favorably to the Russians, who have
taken strong Turkish positions with
comparatively slight losses, while the
Turks have suffered heavily. Good
progress also is being made in the
Russian campaign in Persia, Petro-
grad declares.
Importance is attached to these
operations because although appar-
emily isolated they are held by many
military observers as to be taken
into consideration in connection with
the British campaign in Mesopota-
mia, all three movements converging
upon the easternmost part Of the
Ottoman domain and throwing line
across the path of any Turkish ad-
vance further into the Orient.
Little new light has been thrown
upon happenings in Greece, whence
reports of strongly aggressive move

The American Jewish world., 1916-04-07


That the Jew has achieved a most re-
markable success in the worlds art, sci
ence and literature is matter of com
mon knowledge. There is not a line OF
art, nor branch of science, nor divl-
sion of literature, in which the Jew has
not won distinction. Who would expect
among the mighty men of the prize-ring
and the pugilistic profession? Yet here,
too, the long pent-up energy exhibited it.
self most marvelously as soon as he was
permitted to mingle with mis- non-Jewish
fellow athletes and to match his strength
and skill with theirs. Neither the aver
sion Of his own people, which strongly
manifested itself from the very time
when an attempt was made to introduce
wrestling and the games of the Greeks
among the Jews of Palestine, nor the age
long prejudice and persecution on the
part of the nations, which made it i'm
possible for him to engage in any sport
destroyed the pugilistic propensities of
the Jew nor his courage and ability to
fight
when we first find Jew entering the
prize-ring, pugilism was merely mat
ter of brute force and, as such, it could
hardly appeal to people that had long
and rightfully borne the title of "rachma-
MIN bne rachmanim"- -kind-hearted chill
dren of kind-hearted ancestry. But,
what of that? The Jew was ready to in
troduce science into pugilstic practice
and to substitute skill for sheer force
And this is exactly what happened as
soon as the first Jew, Daniel Mendoza,
entered the prize-ring. This was in 1887.
And, no sooner did Mendoza take up
pugilism than a new epoch was ushered
in-that of scientific prize-fighting. This
Star of Israeli and author of "The Art
of Boxing" was born in 1853 in White
chapel, London. In his first encounter
he scored victory in less than thirty
minutes and at once established wide
reputation for himself. After a number
of other victories, he became champion
of England, which distinction he enjoyed
uninterruptedly for period OF four
years, 1792-1795. In 1906 he left the
prize-ring to become sheriffs officer for
the county of Middlessex. For time
he was apparently happy in his new PC
sition, away from the excitement of the
sport and the laurels it had brought him.
But in 1920, after an absence of fourteen
years and at the age of fifty-seven, he
returned once more to the prize-ring, on
ly to find that, like Samson of old, he
had lost his strength Yet, even at that
advanced age, his skill and perseverance
enabled him to maintain himself against
his younger opponent during twelve
rounds. The realization of his waning
