TRACING JEWS
IN WAR ZONES
Remarkable Work Done
by the Joint DiStribu-
ton Committee

Figures were given out yesterday
showing the results accomplished in
the year since the establishment Of the
remittance bureau Of the Joint Distri
button Committee, Of which Felix VI.
Warburg is chairman, and the specific
purpose Of which is TO forward 10 the
Jews in the war-stricken countries re-
mittances from relatives in this coun-
try which it has been impossible to
forward through any other private or
governmental agency. In a majority of
cases It has been found impossible even
to locate through other channels the
persons sought in Russia. Rumania,
Poland, Austria and Palestine.
An average Of $1,000 a day has been
sent 10 the Jews in those countries by
friends and relatives. making a total
of approximately $250,0OO.
The remittance bureau is only one Of
the activities OF the Joint Distribution
Committee, which is now engaged in
the collection Of an additional $40 ,000,-
600 for the Jewish war sufferers.
Many affecting scenes accompany the
receipt here of the signature OF mother,
father. sister or sweetheart, thousands
Of miles away. and who frequently has
been given up as dead by relatives and
friends in this country. In many in
stances where the German or Russian
military authorities have announced "A
city or town evacuated, with absolutely
no non-combatants living in it, the re-
port has been erroneous The city if
Wlodawa State of Cholm Poland for
example, is in German military occu-
pancy 1t is officially deserted. No
one is living there, the official state
ments say. Yet more than one receipt
is now on file in New York of some
Jewish sufferer there who only recently
signed for money.
Many remarkable instances of locat-
ing persons have come TO light. The

A CONVERT IN ZIONISM
By Prof. Horace M. Kallen.


least once in his lifetime, that emo
tional reimbursement which the Chris
tlans call conversion, being born
anew undergoing a change of heart?
We do not. Bar Mitzvah is at best
an intellectual phenomenon, at first an
orgy of food and presents. Nothing
momentous comes with it into the
lives Of Our children, nothing moment
GUS grows from it. Religiously, it is
an occasion for the rabbi to exercise
an Indifferent fancy; secularly, we'll,
you've been to Bar Mitzvah parties.
If real emotion energies, we stife it,
We pride ourselves on our reason.
Only the other day | heard the mighty
one from Bashan, | mean Bethel, de-
clare that Judaism is too logical to
say that three are one. That IS"
ooh, nobody minds him." I inter-
rupted, "he's not representative. Be-
sides, he talks through his hat most
of the time. I'll bet you a hundred
to one for the National Fund that he
doesn't know anything about the Trim
ity, and is merely Juggling vocabulary,
setting three over against 'one.
Hes one of Our spiritual leaders,
acknowledged as such. And what he
knows or doesn't know is irrelevant.
It's that ungodly insistence on logic
Modern Judaism is so logical, that it's
logically committing suicide. It's not
that we are incapable of emotion, of
loyalty that springs from the very
fibre of Our being; it's merely that,
being diverted from the religious OBJ
ject and being denied religious sane
ton, it turns elsewhere. Of course,
Judaism pays,-while Christianity re-
news it's life upon this emotion and
grows stronger, even in a secular age"
Every we'll What would you have
us do :" the broker retorted with some
heat, "organize salvation army, en-
ploy Billy Sunday and exploit CON
version ?"
"Trying it out might do no harm;
of course, we should need our own
forms" said Cohen.
81 don't believe it would take you
very far" This remark came from
Levitan. Levitan makes his living by
protesting chemistry in an eastern
university; his life is Zionism. II

enough. It's true that modern uda-
ism tends to stop up and dry up the
wells of emotion from which it must
suck its life as a religion, but it is not
by this that it condemns itself to
death. If the various Christianities
had the same relation to the rest of
life as Judaism they, even with their
complete exploitation of feeling,
would share the same fate. The fact
is the converse Christianity is integ-
raj to the social life of the Christian
communities; through it's forms and
organization it suffuses every phase of
the secular interests so that even the
political mood of the country has its
Christian tone. Not so with Judaism.
When it's orthodox, when it's life, it
has to keep itself separate from the
streams of the life about it. It can't
assinilate them because it has no base
for its assimilative function, it's a
stomach without a body, and either
what it receives must pour through
unaltered, or derange the organ.
When it's reformed, it's in a worse
quandary; it has changed from con-
talner into content. 1t gives up
more than it saves, it loses color, flaw
or, individuality; it becomes, so far as
it is itself concerned, an indistinguish-
able part of the environment to which
it adapts itself To maintain it's pre-
tense at individuality, it has made the
most of dialectical instead of real diff
ferences, like the three-one business
or the mission business. Ninety per
cent of your rabbis don't take any
stock in the mission. Do they, Co.
hem"
Cohen smiled "What are you driv-
ing at, Levitan? What's this to do
with your failure to utilize the basis
or religious loyalty?"
"This; that you make the mistake
of supposing that religion is a thing
in itself and an end in ITSELF Well,
it's neither. Vanity is good motive
to appeal to, but in our age even van
ity shrinks from resting its claims up
on the supernatural. That way lies
the imputation of madness, and van
ity can't endure imputations. That's
why the laity is unaffected by the pro-
fession's prating about the mission of
Israel, and the profession as whole
is letting the dogma die through desue-
tude. Beyond the notion of mission
what do you offer to command the
allegiance of the young? Anything in

Observation-Disclosures Observation-Disclosures
We were five around table. Our
discussion had become very lively and
it's tone depressed, because, as is us
ual wherever thoughtful Jews gather
to talk, we had drifted from the
weather, the stage and the war to the
Jewish Question, and on that topic we
had stayed, in a deepening gloom
Cohen, who is rabbi, but is genuinely
religious, had saddened us with por
trayal of the detection of the young
from the synagogue orthodox and
reformed; both, he said, were left be-
hind by an exodus tragic in its swell
ing dimensions and ominous in it's sig
nifcance for the future of the faith.
"Of course" he went on, turning to
me, "you will blame the rabbis. |
will not say that they are not to blame.
But they are not the only causes, nor
the deepest Compare ourselves with
Christianity; our orthodoxy has not
the organization of Catholicism; our
reform is without the emotions of
Professionalism. With neither organ
ization, nor feelings, what would you
have? The age is secular and secular
izing. The religious motive is crossed
by a thousand others, intimate, force
full and promising immediate results.
What does Judaism promise? Or
thodoxy appeals largely to fear, Re-
form to vanity, and while you can
base a considerable religion on fear,
you can't keep anything durable on
vanity, for vanity follows the fash
ions, and mirrors itself by the approx
al of others. The fact is, we are too
intellectual and reasonable. We ig-
more the genuine bases of religious
loyalty, and dam up the well-springs
of religious allegiance. Relatively, all
the religious sects have grown in num-
bers but ours

Wilson Swinging Into
Campaign Form; Works to
Meet Attacks of Hughes

Long Branch, n. J., Sept. 20
President Wilson swung into cam
paign form to-day. With his plan for
discussing public questions before nom
partisan organizations instead of max
ing campaign tours fully decided
upon, he actively took up his political
plans after lull of more than a week
caused by the illness and death of his
sister. Mrs. Annie E. Howe.
Administration leaders here predict
that from now on there will be plenty
of activity in the Democratic cam
paign. The attacks of Charles E.
Hughes will be fully met, they say, by
the President himself and by mem
bers of his cabinet and Dem ocratic
leaders who will tour the country.
Vance c. Mccormick, the chairman
of the Democratic national committee,
who spent the night at Shadow Lawn,
held an early conference with the
President this morning before leaving
for headquarters in New York. He
will return in a few days to make ar
rangements for the speeches to be
made by Mr.. Wilson.
Meantime, the President worked on
a speech he will make to a delegation
of businessmen he will receive Satur-
day and on the address he will deliver
Monday before the convention of the
National Grain Dealers Association.
In these two speeches he will outline
the reason why he thinks farmers and
businessmen should vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.

Stone Issues "Word on
8-Hour Law as Related
to Railroad Operatives"

Chicago, Sept. 20. = "A word about
the so-called S-hour law as related to
railroad operatives" by William j.
Stone, United States Senator from
Missouri was issued by the Western
National Democratic headquarters
here to-day Accompanying the state
ment was an assertion that Senator
Stone was representing the thought of
the administration on the subject. The
statement said in part:
'Messrs Hughes, Roosevelt. Root,
Lodge, Penrose, Crane, Pierpont Nor
gan and George W. Perkins
maintain that the President and
Congress surren d cred to force
and thereby discredited public author
ity and weakened the foundations of
our government institution.
"One weakness about this charge is
that it is false. Nobody threatened
the President or Congress; nobody
demanded anything of them. There
was no controversy between the gov
ernment and the railroad employees,
nor between the government and the
railroad manag gements. The con-
troversy was purely industrial, waged
between Nseveral hundred thousand
men who actually operate trains on
the one hand and the managers of the
railroads on the other.

M'CLAN OBJECTS
TOLITTLE CASES
Says Board of Pardons Will
Not Resentence Men For
Crimes

Emphatic protest against bringing
cases without extraordinary reasons be-
fore the State Board of Pardons was
made at the opening Fall meeting of
the board to-day by Lieutenant Cover
ssor Frank B. McClain the chairman.
When an application for pardon of an
Erie county man convicted of assault
and battery was presented Mr.. Nc
Claim said: This case ought not to
have come here. This board was not
created to hear such cases. AS far as
I am concerned this board will not
act as court and resentence men,"
Mr.. McClain and other members of
the board also objected during the ap-
plication for Communication of death
sentence of Joseph W. O'Brien, of
Philadelphia, to hearing a case on no
more evidence than had been brought
out at the trial. The lieutenant gov
ernor also remarked in closing the
hearing that as for himself mo muir
derous beast in human form should
have the advantage of any technical
ity in the law"
The board had a long list of cases,
including an application for pardon of
William Webber, Berks county, grant
ed Communication of death sentence in
1895, whose case has been heard be-
fore.
In hearing the application for par
don OF Mike kamintsky, Lackawanna,
who is serving from five TO twelve
years for manslaughtcr Lieutenant
Governor McClain commented upon
statement of the destitution of the
prisoners wife and five children by
saying: Some consideration ough
also to be shown for the victims of this
assault. They are entitled to some
sympathy and the evidence shows that
the prisoner jumped a fence to attack
his victim. That raises some pre-
sumption of malice" this case and
that of Sylvester Kozar, of Lacka-
wanna, were presented with statements
that there were eXtenuating circum-
stances and severe sentences.
Attorney General Brown and Sec
retary of the Commonwealth Woods
during hearings repeatedly asked law
yers TO present something which had
not come out in trials. II want some
thing outside of the record to Justify
action by this board. We must in
sist on it." said Mr.. Brown several
times.
The application for rehearing of H.
Z. Filler, Westmoreland. will come up
late to-day and will be bitterly fought.
The Dauphin county cases will come
later in the day.
Among lawyers here for the cases
to-day were eX-Judge W. X. Stevens
of Reading. T. H. Greevy. Altoona;
District Attorney Shive, Norristown:
Andrew Hourigan, Wilkes Barre; Eu-
gene \. Philbin. Scranton, and W. T.
Darr. Brookville.
The decisions will be given later in
the day.

Funston Believes Villa
Will Cut Lines Between
Chihuahua and Juarez

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 20.-Belief
that Francisco Villa will soon cut the
Carranza line of communications be-
tween Chihuahua City and Juarez if
he has not already done so. was sug-
gested by Major General Funston to-
day after he had read a report on
Villas Chihuahua engagement re-
ceived from Brigadier General Bell at
Ell Paso.
Stories gathered by General Bell
from persons reaching FL Paso from
the interior indicate that General
Trevino's forces were driven out of
Chihuahua City in Villas Saturday
attack and that they took station on
large hill outside the city from
necessity and not from choice, as pre-
Vious reports said. From this hill they
succeeded by the use of artillery in
dislodging the Nillaistas
General Funston refused TO give out
all details of the Bell report for pub
lication but he said that II confirmed
previous accounts of the battle and in
dicated even more serious conditions
than were admitted by the Car
ranzistas.
TT seems that they had quite a
holiday down there" said the general.
