quite a number of visitors from
Brownsville and other sections of the

unusually good, the children of the

parts in a way that reflected great
credit both upon them and those who
trained them for the occasion. The
exercises were held in the school house

MISSIONARIES PROVOKE
RIOT IN MONTREAL.

RIOT IN MONTREAL.
kol Nidre night witnessed mini
allure riot in the streets of Montreal,
due to missionary activities and
provocation On the walls of mis-
sion home which is situated in the
neighborhood of a synagogue there
appeared a sign in Yiddish announc-
ing that "Chief Rabbi Farthing
(the Bishop of Montreal would de-
liver an address on the subject Is
Yom Kippur the true Atonement:"
a number of Jewish young men on
their way to synagogue noticed the
sign and became erraged at the
effrontery. A committee was sent
to the authorities of the Home ask
ing them to remove the sign, but
their appeal went UNDECIDED. The
Jews then took the law into their
own hands and tore the sign off
and began throwing stones into the
windows. A young Jewish soldier,
Samuel Epstein, was attacked by
the club of a policeman and was
felled unconscious and had to be
taken to the hospital. The number
meanwhile greatly increased. so that
it became necessary to call out re-
serve force of police. 1t was not,
however, until Captain Isidore
Freedman and his Jewish troop ar
rived on the spot and with fixed
bayonets dispersed the crowds that
order was restored The next morn
ing missionary, Rev. Neugewitz,
attempted to deliver an address on
the steps of the Mission House, but
was again met by hooting and mis-
siles from the crowd. Again a po-
lice force had to be called out in
order to restore order.
The Montreal press condemned
the Jews for this riot One of the
French papers, La Canada, even
went 50 far as to make the ridicu-
lous statement that the Jews wanted
to cruelty Bishop Farthing, even as
their forefathers crucihed Jesus. A
mass meeting was held the follow
ing Sunday by the Jews of the neigh
borhocd, at which the action of the
missionaries was condemned and
means were devised to prevent their
activities becoming widespread

Irving Berlin is probably the

songs in the country. Berlin has
never written grand opera or
sentimental song about somebody's
grave where the lilies grow, or about
some ripping stream in the sunny
south, but he has written ragtime
and similar songs that netted him
fortune, and he goes about it in a
thoroughly business-like manner.
Some of these went through editions
of a million copies, and as a matter
of fact Berlin himself claims a song

have been sold. Berlin says that
when his "Alexander's Ragtime
Band" was a big hit the report was
started among publishers that he

and published it under his own
name. Il told them,'' Berlin said,
in telling the story, IF they could

FORD TELLS WHY HE
IS NOT IN CONTEMPT
Seeks to Have Stricken From
Court Records Motion for
Attachment Writ.

Henry Ford, automobile manufac-
turer and peace advocate, who was
served with a subpoena to appear as
witness In the suit brought by Ten
Eyck Wendell against Miller Bros,
automobile distributors. and who dis
REGARDED the subpoena, because the
date of the trial was set for Decem-
Der =. the day on which the Ford
peace ship sailed, has informed the
Municipal Court why he should not
be held in contempt.
Through Attorney w G.. sullivan,
Mr. Ford seeks to have stricken from
the court records the motion for a
writ. OF attachment against him on
the ground that the motion Is Insult
hcleht because his testimony could be
or no material value in the case. He
turther alleges that he was justified
In not obeying the subpoena as no
offer or witness fees was made him
at the time he was served while at
tending a peace meeting at the Belas-
co on his last visit to Washington.
In an affidavit bearing the sigma
ture of Mr.. Ford he acknowledges he

Ice was made on him, Mr.. Ford de-
clares: II was in the city for the
purpose of comforting with the Presl-
dent of the United States on import
ant matters; that, at that time, | had
already made arrangements for leav-
ing the United States on important
business. and. on the return day OF

cember, was engaged in and upon
the business Just referred to and 1t

edge Of certain models OF machines

SUBSTITUTES" FOR COTTON

Senator Hoke Smith, in an attack
the other day on the British conduct
Of the blockade against Germany,
devoted himself especially to what
he assumed to be England's lawless
treatment of this country's cotton
trade. In the course of his obser-
vations he presented a statement de-
signed to carry the conviction that
Germany has found a substitute for
cotton that, in the manufacture of
explosives, is even better than cot
ton itself, and that has for months
past placed Germany beyond the
possibility of needing cotton.
1t is curious how stories of this
kind gain currency, and then ac-
ceptance among intelligent men. The
fact is that Germany has not found
q substitute for cotton in the manu-
facture of explosives. 1t has been
known for a long time that wood
pulp, sawdust, probably alfalfa,
could be used as a substitute for
cotton in making explosives. There
Is nothing new about it.
But there is a vital difficulty about
using any substitutes for cotton.
There is a vast difference in the re-
lation of the explosive to the area
OF resistance, when substitutes for
cotton are used. To employ the sub
stitute would make it necessary for
Germany to manufacture a complete
new equipment of arms adapted to
its use. The bore, the sights, ETC., of
every shooting arm-machine gun,
rife, howitzer, etc.-would have to
be changed.
1t is thus perfectly simple for
Germany to use wood pulp in max
ing her explosives. All she needs to
do is to Manufacture a complete new
outfit of weapons and equip with
them her armies from Riga to Os-
tend, from the Dwinsk to the Per-
sian gulf. That is all. 1t is a per-
fectly simple expedient. Of course,
while crossing the somewhat agi-
tated stream that Germany is now
fording it might be a trife embar-
RAISING to stop and make such an ex-
change of horses; but doubtless our
highly efficient German friends
would do it without difficulty.
This nonsense about substituting
something else for cotton in explo-
sives, has been exploded in the ut
most detail by several scientific and
technical writer's. Sir William Ram
sey, in a letter so simple and de-
void of technicality that anybody
can understand it, explained the
whole situation some weeks ago, and
