LUMBER WILL
GO TO EUROPE
Uncle Sam to Go After the
Business When the
War Ends.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Dr. Edward
Ewing Pratt. chief of the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce, an
nounced today that an astonishtngly
large number of lumber experts have
taken the examination given by the
bureau to find the right men to make
the great European lumber tnvesti'
cation recently decided on by the
Lumber Manufacturers association
United States Forest service and the
bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce. Those who passed the exam
inatoon held last week in the most
creditable fashion will be given an or
al examination at Washington before
a board composed Of representatives
of the lumber men and the officials
of the three government branches
concerned.
Concerning the investigation, DR..
Pratt made the following announce
ment:
Five trade commissioners are to
be chosen for this investigation and
they are to be men especially quail
fled to secure and report detailed In
formation about the requirements OF
European lumber consumers. and the
methods and capacity of European
lumber producers. The entire ex-
penses of one commissioner are to
be paid by the government. while the
vices of q Russian interpreter, Will
be borne by the National Association
of Lumber Manufacturers. All will
be appointed by the department Of
commerce, and the department will
make every effort to get men with
wide practical experience in the lum-
her industry.
THE bureau Of foreign and domes-
tic commerce is making every effort
to hasten the selection Of the men.
Before the end Of November these
with manufacturers throughout the
country to ascertain precisely what
information the latter consider to be
Of the greatest value to them. After
these preliminary conferences the
commissioners will at once start for
Europe.
"One will make a study Of the lum-
ber requirements of the United King
dom. Holland and France. One will
cover the market Of southern Europe
and northern Africa, including Spain,
Italy. Greece, Algiers and Egypt. An:
other will be required for the Central
empires, covering the markets of
Germany and Belgium. and perhaps
Turkey, and the production Of south
ern Germany and Austria The fourth
commissioner will go to Norway and
Sweden to make an estimate Of the
lumber producing power of those
countries, and the fifth Is scheduled
TO cover Russia, Siberia and Ruma-
MIA, where is situated, supposedly.
the worlds greatest timber supply Of
the future.
The investigation. to be conducted
under the direction Of a committee
OF representative lumber men. is to
be one of the most thorough going
and comprehensive ever undertaken.
1t may extend over two years. If the
war should last another year, the
work will have been in full swing
long before its close, and enough in
formation should have been collected
to furnish a broad high road to those
American manufacturers who are
ready to move upon the European
narkofa

The Garden of Allah.


That big, gorgeous. romantic dra-
ma The Garden Of Allah, dramatized
by Robert Hichens and Mary Ander-
son de Navarro, will be the attrac-
ton at the Metropolitan on Monday.
October 16.
The four main parts into which
The Garden of Allah is divided are
subdivided into nine scenes or set
tings. Two of the most pretentious

formance-the garden Of Count
Anteoni. which is displayed through
out part two and is shown again in
the epilogue, and section Of the
desert at Mogar. which is shown as
part three under the varying atmos-
pheric conditions of evening and
dawn. Beautiful and varied in their
appeal to the eye and ear are these
cession that means much to the
reader of the book, and even more
perhaps to the playgoer who will seek
The Garden of Allah in the theater
without first having had recourse to
the word pictures and scenery of

Natives from the Levant and from
Northern Africa are employed un-
obtrusively but effectively to help in
blance in the crowded scenes, such

the Bedouins employed. but numerous
animals also, including camels

apparently been very devout Jew.
But none of them made so much
trouble for, and did so much harm to
the Jews as did Solomon Levi of
Burgos, who after his conversion as
surned the name of Paul Burgensis,
and rose to high positions in the
church and the state Previous to
his apostasy he had been a Jewish
scholar and rabbi, learned in Bib
lical and rabbinic literature Being
selfish and ambitious, and finding
the road to worldly success barred
to him, he resolved on baptism, and
on a career in the church. After
course of study in Christian theolo-
gy, he was ordained as priest, join
ed the court of the anti-pope Bene-
dict XIII at Avignon, and there
found ample scope for his talents.
He rose to one dignity after another
in the church, and on the recommen-
dation Of the pope, was showered
with honors and favors by the king
of CASTLE, Henry III.
He now considered it his duty to
convert his former coreligionists,
and proceeded to this enterprise with
great zeal. He wrote letters and
satires in Hebrew prose and verse,
arguing, ridiculing and slandering
the Jews and their faith. Unable
to attain any results by such means,
he sought to influence King Henry
against them, but also with little sue
cess. But when Henry died and
left Paul de Burgos as executor of
his will and guardian of his son and
successor, Juan II, then only child,
barely two years old, the apostate's
power to harm became considerable.
The edict issued by the regents in
1408 barring Jews from all offices in
CASTLE was largely the work of his
wicked brain.

des, Toro, and Segovia The total
number Of Jews converted by the
fanatic friar was about $4,000.
There were two kinds of apos-
tates: those forced into conversion
by their tormentors, and those who
used the prosecutions only as an ex-
cuse, or even without any excuse,
eagerly rushed to the baptismal font.
The former bore the church an anti
pathy and resentment all the more
intense because of their conjunction
and their sense of humiliation at be-
ing forced to abandon the faith of
their fathers and their suffering
brethren. They were ever eager to
throw off the CALLING yoke of hypoc-
rlsy. Some of them fled to the
Moorish countries, Granada, Moroc-
co, Tunis, and Fee, where they could
again practice their religion in free
dom. The majority however, were
forced to remain, and to wear their
religious mask, altho in their hearts
they were true to their own faith
and clandestinely practiced it. They
were called by the Christian popula-
ton Marranos, (the Damned), and
were hated and distrusted even more
than the openly protesting Jews.
They were made the special objects
of the hatred of those who willingly
apostatized for the sake Of worldly
gain, for the attainment of position
and honor, or because of their frivo-
lous scepticism that considered re-
ligion of any kind as of little conse-
quence, and were therefore quite
ready to exchange one for another
if thereby they secured their ease
and comfort. The more unscrupu-
lous among them took a fiendish de-
light in prosecuting their former CO.
religionists and religion. They
brought accusations against the
spiritual leaders and other promi-
nent men OF JeWry, they mal1gned
and slandered them, and made them
the target for the shafts of their
jests and jibes.
One of these apostates, Don Pero
Ferrus, wrote a satirical poem
against the rabbis and the entire
community of Alcala. Another, Di-
ego de Valencia, circulated vulgar
lampoons on the Jews. Others
showed their zeal for their new faith
by writing letters and tracts, often
in Hebrew, to demonstrate to their
former coreligionists and friends the
superiority of Christianity, as was
done by Astruc Raimuch, physi-
