THE JOKE ON THE JEW.


There seems to be a growing tend
cncy to exploit the mannerisms of
class of Jews for the amusement of
the public Within limits this is en-
tirely unobjectionable The problem
is to keep it within those limits.
Time was when jokes were very
expensive to the Jews. They were
usually based on a grotesque concep-
ton of Jewish character and depend
ed for their humorous qualities on the
humiliation Of the Hebrew. If the
supposed avarice of Jew was thwart
cd just when it was about to grasp
a coveted treasure, was deem
cd funny The theme was amplihed
in multitudinous forms. But the
laugh it raised cut like lash.
In some respects modern literature
and drama is less inhun1an. Anti
Semitic literature there still is.
Usually it is frank enough to be such
without a disguise. It is far less OBJ
iectionable than that Of literary or
dramatic vial which pours its acid
humor into the bleeding wounds of
the Jews, while masking it's true pur-
pose under the cloak of pretended
realism
The newer humor is Of a different
type. There are mannerlsms OF
speech, conduct, and attitude of mind
which are in themselves innocent
foibles, yet intrinsicallv humorous be-
cause incongruous. They are gen
timely funny. They are analogous to
and on a par with Irish. Swedish,
German or other group jokes. They
usually call attention to laughable
errors in the use of English by per-
sons but little versed in that language
to habits of thought and circuities of
logic common in Europe but ludicrous
here, to inconsistencies of con-
duct or of speech and conduct that
involve no moral turpitude or intel
lcctua1 DEGRADATION but only whim-
steal indifference to consequences.
This kind of h,rmor makes the Jew
more human One laughs with, not
at the Jews. Unconsciously it arouses
a kindly sympathy rather than a
Sinking contempt.
SO lone as the joke on the Jew re-
mains within this legitimate domain
he cannot complain. It may take care
md vigilance to keep the joke from
becoming too broad or too pointed.

MORGENTHAU RECALL
CHARGED TO ZIONISM

The paris Midi" published a
two-column article, saying that the
Hon. Henry Morgenthau was re-
called as American Ambassador to
Turkey under pressure from Con
stantinople and replaced by Abram
L. Elkins, because Morgenthau was
actively engaged in a Zionist and
colonization movement which con-
templated buying land from Turkey
in Palestine for a colony, which was
to be erected into an independent
republic after the war.
According to the "Midi's" article,
Turkey had at first agreed to the
plan under pressure from Germany
in order to get money, by the sale
Of land, to carry on the war. The
recall of Rustum Bey, Turkish Am
bassador at Washington, and his
replacement by Hahn Naoum, grand
rabbi of Turkey, is said to be part
Of the same plan. The Paris "Midi'
says:
"It must be admitted that without
doubt this was not done entirely
unknown to the Washington gov
eminent, as the United States has
always been interested in questions
of holy places and Zionist efforts"

Ell Paso, Tex, July 26.--Govern-
mcnt agents here were puzzled today

scout attached to Pershing's COM

near Temosachic, Chihuahua. Sur
founding it were many empty cart

Clary Charges Company
Has Been Unfair to Men
and Broken Faith with
Him.

Little Rock, July 26.-The strike of
700 employees of the American Baux-
tie company at Bauxite, Saline coun-
ty continues with less prospect of
settlement than ever.
J. G.. Clary, commissioner of labor,
sent the following telegram to the
American BauXite company at Pitts
burg:
"Strike at BauXite. Arkansas, can
be settled if you will send someone
who can act fair and impartial. Tie
company has not acted fair with en-
ployes. nor have they kept faith with
me. Differences can be settled if the
company will concede a few things"
The company replied as follows:
eve have every confidence in Mr..
Gibbons ability to handle the labor
difficulties at Bauxite and he! has full
authority to handle the situation as
he thinks best. We have suggested
that Mr.. Gibbons make no further
concessions and if he deems it ad
visable that he withdraw concessions
recently made"
Congressman w. s. Goodwin has
wired Commissioner Clary that he
has suggested Maj. R. B. Heating of
McCrory. Ark, who 10 a member of
the committee of cancellation in ,ne
United States department of labor at
Washington, as an arbitrator, or that
he be sent to Arkansas to assist in
the investigation of the situation at
Bauxite.
Mr.. Clary says that the only thing
the men are asking is that they be
treated fairly and not Disseminated
against, and that the company shall
agree to receive committee of en-
ployes for the adjustment of griev-
anCeS.

London, July 26.-With the village
of Pozieres completely and apparently
securely in their hands, and having
strengthened their position by the cap
ture of two strong trenches west of
the village, the British troops appar-
emily are resting before attempting
again to throw their forces against

South of the Somme the French

Except in the Champagne district,
little fighting took place on the re-
mainder of the French front.
In the Volhynia sector the Russians
are keeping up their pressure on the
Teutons in the Eloneka river region,
and also are attacking the Teutons in
North Galicia, near Pray.
Petrograd claims the repulse Of an
attempt by Won Hindenberg's men near
Riga, while Berlin asserts that the
Germans penetrated the Russian ad-
vance positions there and destroyed
them. Likewise, Petrograd claims
slight gains for the Russians near
Baranovichi, while Berlin says strong
Russian attacks in this vicinity were
put down with heavy losses by the
Russians.
The Turks have evacuated Erzingan
in Turkish Armenia, and Russians are
in possession of this important
stretegtic point.

RUSSIANS CAPTURE 1000.
Turks Destroy Stores Before Fleeing
from Erzingan.

Petrograd, July 26, via London
The Turkish fortress of Erzingan, In
Central Armenia, on the Caucasus
front, has been captured by the Rus
SLAMS. This was announced officially
today by the Russian war department.
The Russians are continuing their
successful drive in southern volhynia,
pressing back the Teutonic forces
near the Slonevka river, branch of
the Styr, which the Russians are
crossing, the war office announced to-
day Great losses have been inflicted
on the retiring hostile forces.
Heavy losses in prisoners were sus-
tanned, also, the announcement states,
General Sakharoff capturing moro
than 1000 officers and men.
The forces of General Won Boehm-
Ermolli are being attacked by the
Russians in Galicia ten miles north
of Brody.
German forces under Field Marshal
Won Hindenberg attacked the Russian
lines near Kemmern, 20 miles west
of Riga, and nearly succeeded in PEN
Grating the Russian front line, the
announcement said, but were finally
compelled to retreat by the concen-
tration of the Russian fire.
Recent advices from Petrograd said
that the Russians, after beating off
energetic Turkish counter attacks,
were ccnverging on Erzingan from
three sides, and that the Russian adj
vance guards were within ten miles
of the fortified city.
The Turks were reported by Rus
sian aviators to be destroying the
stores and supplies. Belief was ex-
pressed, by Russian observers that the
evacuation of the place already had
begun, and that the defense of the
fortress was being conducted only
with the purpose of giving the Turks
time to withdraw to new base at
Sivas, 1870 miles to the west.
The Russian official communica-
tons of Tuesday said the Turkish
armies in the Erzingan region .'were
retreating in disorder before the ir-
resistible pressure of our troops, and
We're abandoning cannon, rifles and
ammunition along the road"
