Last Saturday evening, at the He
brew Institute, meeting held under
the auspices of the Goodfellow's Club,
resulted in the decision to refuse to al
low children in that neighborhood to at
tend the old Lafayette School, when the
schools opened on Wednesday morning,
on account of the dangerous condition
of the school and the failure of the
City Ouncil to give some definite assur-
ance of new and sanitary school in
place of the old school, Subsequent de-
velopments and meetings resulted in the
temporarily calling off of the 'strike"
order. number of persons who have
been leading in the fight for a new
school expressed the hope that the
building of new school would be pro-
vided for in the next years budget of
the city.
Aleph Beth members are busy these
days. Between the work of prepara-
ton for the Yom Kippur Informal Com
munity Ball for the benefit of the Con-
gress movement, which will take place
Saturday evening, October 7th, at the
Junior Pioneer Hall, and the annual en-
tertainment which will be given Sun
day evening, November 5th at the large
Armory auditorium, the boys are kept
constantly stirring. Rehearsals for the

Championship Baseball.

On Sunday, September Oath, at 2:3O
at Nicollet Park, Twin City public will
be given an opportunity to see the Kuffs
Herzogs and Killings of Minneapolis play
the American national game with the
same energy and life that professional
ball game calls for. Here is the dope:
"The Atlas Club baseball nine, win
ners of the 1916 pennant of the Associ-
ated Jewish Baseball League, will play
Braman's and Steinfield's All Stars,
team composed of the best material of
league players. All who have seen the
Atlas Club play, know just what to ex-
pect but those who have not must come
to the seasons final game. 1t will be
treat to see Art Horwitz, catcher,
steal bases; Hy Fishbein get out of
scrapes by striking men out with nine
pitched balls. To see Abe Levy, short
stop, the little wonder in Twin City
baseball is surely worth walking miles
to see. Harry Isaacs, who hit the only
home run of the season promises to re-
peat the act. Too much praise cannot
be given to Art Segal, the first baseman
Paul and Jack SAKE, second and third
basemen, look so much alike at the
field that we don't remember who really
is the best. Isaacs, Swiller and Marker,
go and see the real game of the season."

LAST WEEK OF CIVILIZATIONS

LAST WEEK OF "CIVILIZATION."
The last weeks showing for Mime
apolis of the big cinema spectacle "Civ-
ilization," which has had long and
successful run at the Shubert Theatre,
is announced today. At the end OF this
time, this company will go to Duluth
and start westward for North Dakota
and Montana. A second "Civilization"
company begins touring Iowa, at Mason
City, September 18th. A third COM
pany will shortly open in Milwaukee,
Wis, and two ether companies will be
organized to cover territory not reached
by these.
1t is anticipated that the last week
of this production will be given a re-
markable patronage, for certain it is
that no production was ever put on in
Minneapolis in the elaborate manner as
has been this mighty peace spectacle.
The acted prologue with 80 players and
remarkable mechanical and scenic eff
fects, the large symphony orchestra un-
der the direction of the famous COM
poser and director, Frank Palma, and
the big film spectacle is what won from
Minneapolis papers the most liberal
praise that was ever accorded film, all
go to make the production one that will
long be remembered by those who have
seen it.
"Civilization" is a production with
many angles and many phases and is
one that may well be seen twice and
even three times, for, at every viewing,
one is bound to see some new feature
overlooked before. One virtue of the

of the victims were trapped be-
low decks and those who were not in.
stantly killed probably were drowned
by the water that flooded the engine
room through a great hole blown in
the side Of the vessel.
The Aztec had just left a drydock
and the cause Of the explosion is un.
known, although it is believed to have
resulted from the bursting of a tank
OF 10000 cubic feet Of gas used in con-

SITUATION.
ALL FACTS ARE DESIRED

Sinking Of Liner Are Finally
Obtained.

Washin9ton.-There was no lessen
ing OF the tension in the new subma

turn to the White House to take per
sonal charge Of the situation, but there
r marked indications Of the presi
dents intention to proceed carefully
and deliberately before committing
the United States to the next step in
Its already strained relations With the
Teutonic powers.
At the State Department the hope
was expressed that there would be op.
portunity to settle the crisis amicably,
and 1t was stated that the American
government believed that Austria's as.
surances in the last Ancona note were
given in good faith.
Two points. 1t vas emphasized, must
be cleared up before the next loove is
made. 1t must be established whether
the British liner Persia actually was
t~orpedoed, and II so, " u was the
nationality Of the submarine.
President Wilson's first act on his
return was to issue a statement
through Secretary Tumulty promising
the country action just as soon as the
full facts in the Persia disaster can
be learned.
THE president and the secretary of
state are taking every means possible
to obtain the full facts in this grave
matter and will act just as soon as the
information is obtained" said the off.
clal statement issued at the White
House offices.
The presidents second step was to
direct Secretary Lansing to gather
more Information from the Persia sur
vivors. The secretary ordered the
consuls at Alexandria, Malta and
Cairo to obtain affdavits and at once
cable summaries Of their contents.
