THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

NOllNSlt - llOlll tlIldlolll W II dNllNS
their Jewish ceremonies and to remain
loyal to their Jewish traditions, if
they SO desire, as long as they accept
Jesus as their Messiah and Redeemer.
The author of this clever idea is a
certain Rev. John Mark Levy, "He-
brew Christian" who in letter to
The Modern View describes himself
as "a member of an old Anglo Jewish
family, who was, in earl y manhood,
an official member of the London Jew
ish Board Of Guardians" At what
stage in his life and on what occasion,
or under what circumstances, he saw
the light" and exchanged the faith
of his fathers for that of the church,
we do not know. Suffice it to say, that
having seen the Light, he is now
burning with holy zeal to let his
benighted brethren in Israel see it,
His great worry is that the Jews may
continue to blink at the Light as long
as no provision is made by the church
to allow converted Jews to practice
their Jewish rites as they are accus-
toned to do. Hence his ingenious
proposal.
Strange to say Bishop Daniel S.
Tuttle of ST. Louis, venerable fig
TIRE at the convention, and one of it's
most influential members, seems to
be q-.ite captivated by the idea, and is
lending it his support. The editor of
The Modern View, therefore, takes
the two gentlemen to task, and
breaches them a beautiful sermon on
what the relation of the church to
Jews and Judaism ought to be, on the
kind of missionary work to which
Christianity should devote itself, etc.
1t is an editorial that would do every
Christian ecclesiastic good to read
and to ponder.
We, however, consider the provo
cation as altogether too trivial, I'M
worthy Of serious discussion. Rev.
Levy may be an honest man. in spite
Of his being a Hebrew Christian who
is trying to proselytize among his for
1:1er brethren. There are exceptions
TO all rules. The rule in this matter is
well cxemplihed by another, specimen
who was the other day in Minncap-
oils minneapolis seems to be ia
vorite haunt of his) a certain Joseph
Cohn, who in paid "ad" in the local
press (the newspapers are getting
too wise to give him free advertis-
ing) told the public more lies than
patent medicine fakir ever told about
his nostrum. Assuming, then, that
Rev. Levy is an exception, there is
certainly some screw loose in his
thinking machine.

The first six sent letter stating

d. Brandeis, he is not fit person to
be member of the supreme court OF
the United States" Mr. Meldrim
wrote from Savannah, Ga: My rea-

Washington, March 15.-IUnofiicial
advices received yesterday | indicate
that Germany will make 4complete
amends to the United States ii 1t is
found that German submaEne torpe-
doed the Norwegian bark SEius, from
which seven Americans wefe rescued
in Hayre roads. The Geruibn govern
ment is represented here af believing
that a torpedo was not 1onsible for
the loss of the bark. holdixg that any
commander who attacks ia neutral
ship such as the Silius without warn.
ing would be exceeding his instruct
ion,
The sinking of the Silis has been
the cause of much concern at Wash
ington because American Consul Os-
borne at Havre reported that the ship
was torpedoed without warning. His
report was based on statements OF
American survivors. Ofiicials are in
clined to entertain the possibility
that the ship might have been struck
by mine, but the case is being in
vestigated further.

Make Poor Workmen.

Chicago, March 15.--Henry Ford,
who tried to bring peace in Europe.
has carried the idea into the homes of
his employees, according to revelations
made here yesterday before Judge
Dennis Sullivan of the superior court.
The peace leader rules provide that
employees and their wives who disagree
must hoist the white flag, obtain di.
Vorces, or quit the service of the com.
pany and lose their $5,a-day wages.
Henry Carter porter employed by
the company, received a divorce from
his wife in Chicago yesterday on
charge Of desertion and his witness
was Walter g. May of Evanston, for.
merly superintendent of the sociolog.
ical department of the Ford works.
May revealed the idea of the manu-
facturer that the workman who quar-.
rels with his wife in the morning
makes poor workman all the day.
He testified he had done everything
possible 10 reconcile Garter and his
wife, but had failed. He said Carter
was good workman and the company
did not want TO lose him.
'As | understand from the rules OF
the company, a man that Is in the
predicament that Mr.. Garter is in now
will lose his position unless he is able
to separate himself from his wife?"

Tor planting the tomatoes.
The plan once made out should. of
course. be followed carefully through
out the season, especially with regard
70 the dates for planting. Where it is
necessary to change date this should
be indicated on the plan. The plan
also will serve as a convenient memo
fandum sheet for keeping a fairly COM
plete record of the garden. On 1t can
De entered notes regarding success or
allure Of the different vegetables, and
whether too much or too little of any
variety was planted for the family
needs. Failures with certain veget-
ables or seed, especially where the
plants showed any sign of root
diseases, should be noted carefully and
if possible the reasons for failure indi.
Gated. When the season is over this
plan should be filed until the next
period for indoor gardening comes
around The wise gardener will study
the old plan carefully and rearrange
lis vegetables so as not to grow the
same kind the second year in the
same part of the garden. He also
should be particularly careful to trans
fer to other parts of the garden, or
net to attempt to raise at all, those
vegetables which have suffered from
rootknot or similar diseases. If this
notes are at all complete, they will
help him to look up subjects in ad-
vance in bulletins, and also will show
him what vegetables are most worth
while and what hardly pay for the
time and trouble spent on them

German Infantry Attacks RfpuIsed
with Heavy Loss
PROGRESS BY BRITISH IN EGYPT
Russians Reported to Have Captured
German Trenches in Vicinity of
Riga.

Paris, March l4.-The violence OF
the Herman bombardment OF the
F'renth positions between Bethincourt
and Eumieres, northwest of Verdun
was tedoubled, after which the Ger
man Infantry fiercely attacked this
section. They were repulsed along the
whold front with serious losses, ac-
cordiItg to the official statement issued
tonigH by the French war Office. The
Germsps, however succeeded in gain
ing fboting in the French trenches at
two points, between Bethincourt and
lie Moht Homme.
Extremely heavy infantry fighting
has taken place northwest of Verdun,
and on the outskirts of the Bois des
Buttes, north of the Aisne, with the
Germans in both regions the aggres-
sors. Elsewhere along the line artil-
lery duels OF great proportions are un-
derway'
The British evidently are breaking
up the opposition OF the Senussi
tribesmen led by Turkish officers in
Western. Egypt. An official report re-
ceived from Major General Peyton,
commander of the British forces. says
the occupation of Sollum on the Egyp-
tian-Tripoli frontier is imminent, that
Sheik Harun has surrendered and is in
the British camp, and that the head
men OF the Aulad All tribe are begging
for peace
The Russians are still harrassing
the Turks on the Caucasus front, and
have made further progress against
The. Teutons in East Galicia. They en-
tered German trenches in the region
Of Riga, killed the occupants and re-
TUNED to their own positions without
suffering any loss. The Italians ara
keeping up their strong infantry often
sive. begun several days ago. on the
isonzo front Especially fierce have
peen the attacks around San Martino
Here the Italians captured Dante Del
Croviglio. the pivot in the Austrian
Licenses, and in the same region
stormed two other places and seized
Austrian trenches.
Vienna. on the other hand, declares
that near San Martino the Italians
seven times attempted to storm tine
Austrian positions but were repulsed
With heavy casualties.

says an entente submarine attempted
IN the Adriatic sea off the coast OF
Dalmatia to torpedo without warning
