ARCHES USED BY THE JEW
They Are Many and in All Tongues,
But Another One Is Said to
Be Coming.

THE Jew has as many war.cries as
there are tongues in Europe, for he
fights with them all; and then he has
his own war-cry, that eternal fearful
cry Of his that in these days is rending
the heavens over Russian and Galician
Polands." o r. Lipsett writes in the
Century.
And still there is another and a
newer cry coming, the war-cry of the
neutral Jew. TO arms! to arms! o Is
rael has arisen. the sudden thunder
ing cry throughout the length and
breadth Of the New York Ghetto and
all the other Ghettos in the larger
cities of America.
I'VE know. of course, what are the
arms of the Ghetto Jew; they are
tongue and pen. BY means OF these
1t is intended to raise the Jew from
the depths of his ashes and make him
live nation again A congress Of
American Jews Is to be called and It
is to demand, at the conclusion OF the
war or before it, the return OF Pales
tine to its ancient owners For the
Jews are a nation, and they must have
a land and Palestine is theirs.
That Is to say, in brief that while
nearly three-quarters Of million Jews
on the European battleiields are at
one another's throats. in vindicatlon
each OF a different nationality. the
Jews far away from the bursting shells
and glittering bayonets are calling out
to them: No. you are all in the wrong.
For you are all one
1T is not for us to determine
whether the Jews are a nation. 1t IL
not for one man to tell another what
he should be. One is what one feels.
If the Jews feel themselves a nation.
that is sufficient"

Our Mountain Clim berS.

Happy are those who reach the high
places-not OF necessity those who at
tain lofty positions OF responsibility and
/ power, or those whom the vernaculaI
credits with hitting the high spots
| but those who literally climb from the
valleys and the lowlands to the SUBMITS
of earth Such are the fortunate mem
bers OF the Appalachian Mountain club
who have been passing the past few days
in their August range walk along the
ridgepoe of New England. What more
inspiring than view from a White
mountain summit in the crystal clear air
of Yesterday? To be sure, there were
breezes blowing there as here, but they
only drove away the mist and haze, just
as mountain climbing as a matter of
course drives the cobwebs from the brain
of the climber and lets him look down
on the world with clarified vision. No
body will dispute that the world needs
more of that cobweb driving in these
days.
1t is debatable whether the shore of
the sea or the top of the mountain offers
the more inspiration but the difficulties
in the way of the man who climbs to
the mountain top gives him certain
reward when he gets there that the sea
never offers. And something of the
strength and solidity OF the mountains
gets into the fibre of those who dwell
among them or make pilgrimages to
them as to a shrine So those of the
Appalachian club who have tarried at
Carter Notch hut and iourneyed along
the Osgood path to Madison Spring
but over the week end are to be envied.
Would that their few numbers could
have been multiplied many fold, and
that more of the thousands who speed
over the excellent White mountain high
ways in motor cars would profit by the
gospel that this club breaches. The pres
emit year, by the way, brings the 40th
anniversary to this club to which, among
many other good works in distant fields,
Boston owes the initiative for the crea
ton of the Metropolitan park system
nearly quarter of century ago.-Bos-
ton Journal.
