MORE PRISONERS CUT
OUT OF ATLANTA JAIL

ATLANTA, Ca, ov 29.-It begins
to look as if Atlanta would have 20
build a new police station, or at least
equip the present station with new
steel cells, if prisoners keep on tun-
nelng their way through the fourteen
inch wall in the apparently easy men
ner they have escaped in the last few
days.
Turnkey Bayne, responsible for the
care and custody Of prisoners on the
morning watch from midnight to s
O'Clock, had just returned from five
day suspension for letting r. c. Jester,
the alleged king of the automobile
thieves" tunnel through the above
mentioned wall when it was discover
cd that four soldiers arrested by the
military police had managed to escape
in identically the same manner, and
now the turnkey will lose his pay for
fourteen more days
James L. Beavers, recently rein
stated as chief of police, is determin-
ed to secure efficiency in the depart
men, and the unfortunate turnkey al
fcrded him the first opportunity L

"CHIVALRY OF ARMY"
APPLIED TO AIRMEN

LONDON, Nov. 29.-"The Chivalry
of the Army was the title bestowed
upon the British air forces by Pre-
mier Lloyd George in tribute he
paid to them in a recent speech in the
House of Commons. The Premi er
was moving a vote of thanks to the
British armies and navy Of the ayia-
ton service he said:
"The heavens are their battlefields,
they are the cavalry of the cliuds.
High above the squalor and the mud,
so high in the armament that they
not visible from earth. They fight olt
the eternal issues of right and wrong.
Their struggles there by day and
night are like a Miltonic conflict be-
tween the winged hosts Of light ana
darkness.
"They fight the Zoe high UP and th2y
fight him low down, they skim like
swallows along the ground, attaci--
ing armed men in their trenches. They
scatter infantry on the march and de-
stroy conyoys Every flight is a ro-
nance, every record is an epic. They
are the knights of the war, without
fear and without reproach. They re-
call the old chivalry not merely ~
the power Of their individual exploits,
but by the nobility of their spirit,
and among the multitude of heroes
we must continuously thank the
chivalry of the army"

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-09-14

Within the last century, it seems
that the world has invariably wor-
shipped at the shrine of some notable
Jewish actress. First it was Rachel,
who reached the apex of dramatic art,
and during the past fifty years the
name of the ''Divine Sarah" Sarah
Bernhardt- has stirred warm memoir
les of Jewish achievements in the
histrionic art
The news of Sarah Bernhardt's
recent illness brings back a vision of
the multitudes, who during decade
after decade, found themselves admir-
ing and applauding her art. Sarah
Bernhardt, whose real name is Rosine
Bernard, was born in Paris, October
y, 1874, of Dutch Jewish parentage.
She was received into the Roman
Catholic Church at the request of her
father. Her early years were spent
in a convent where she remained I'm
til fourteen years old, when she was
received in the Conservatoire.
Though like Rachel, naturally in
clined to comedy, Bernhardt won
prize for her work in tragedy.
On August II, 1862, four years af-
ter beginning her dramatic studies,
she made her debut at the Coincide
Franchise. Her success was but
partial; and the experiment resulted
in further study and a short trip to
Spain. -
On her return she appeared in vari-
Gus roles, but the outbreak of the
Franco russian war interrupted her

career for time, the interval being
spent in study and nursing the
wounded. Her next appearance was in
1872 and from that time on, her ca
reer has been a series of artistic tri-
umphs. She married the actor Jacques
Danala (who died in 1887. In addi-
ton to being an actress, Bernhardt is
a dilettante author and sculptor.
During her career she has toured
the world, has leased theatres, and
won laurels everywhere. AS an actress
she has been the embodiment of the
theatrical Her voice is remarkable
for it's fexibility and timbre and her
grace of movement is one of her chief
attractions.
Rachel, the other Jewish actress,
whose name has been one to conjure
by, was born in Switzerland in 1921.
She died in France at the age of thir-
ty-seven. She held two continents by
her tragic genius.
Born in a wayside inn, the daughter
of poor Jewish peddler, the girl was
a street singer and beggar when about
nine years old. At nineteen Elisa
Rachel Felix or (Mdl1e Rachel to use
her stage name) was the goddess of
the tragic stage of Paris. She had
seized upon the dramas of Corneille
and Racine, tottering to decay and vir
tually forgotten, breathed into them
the breath of genius and had given to
the classic school of France veritable
masterpieces.
She became the pet of the literary

Maintenon and was on terms of in
timacy with Victor Hugo, de Musset
and Balzac
Her salary grew prodigiously; she
was fond of saying that she earned as
much as the president of France was
paid for governing the most turbulent
nation in Europe. In 1851 she went
to England and scored triumph after
triumph, but her greatest popular tri
umph was in 1913 during the revolt
ton, when she sang the "Marseillaise"
nightly at the Coincide Franchise
Night after night, the theatre was
crowded and each night the workmen
in the audience subscribed for her
bouquets.
In the midst of her tremendous Sue
cesses, her health, which had been
precarious, gave way and consumption
Slapped her life. Her whole career as
an actress of the first class was little
longer than fifteen years.
She passed the last three years of
her life in vain pursuit of health, go
ing to Egypt and the French Riviera.
The end came at last in little French
village. There, with a choir of twenty

side, intoning a prayer for the dying,
she passed away. AS the chant was

COSTLY THEATRE SEATS.
New Workers Forced to Pay Fancy
Prices This Winter.

1t is not alone in the charges OF res
taurants and cabarets that the rolster-
ing thousands have raised havoc this
winter in New York. Theatre tickets,
for example, have become a proh1bltlVe
luxury for the average man and in
New York may cost almost anything.
Upon one occasion after the season
had gotten well under way an attempt
was made on a Friday to buy orches-
ira seats for the next Saturday night
for any one of the ten best drawing at
fractions in the city. To begin with, 1t
seemed that all tickets had gotten into
the hands of spectators; also that the
SPECTATORS had already disposed of
the bulk of their supplies and, third
ly, that such left over, none too good
seats as they still had could not be OBJ
tanned for less than s. apiece.
There was a particular rush at the
time this attempt was made, but new
ertheless under conditions normal to
this wear the good seats for successful
productions cannot prevaiiingly be Sc
cured for less than S. apiece, and the
best seats are usually half as much
again, mounting higher toward the end
of any week.-Cameron Mackenzie in

SOWING MINES IN THE SEA.
How These Ship DeStrOyerS Are Laid
and Anchored.

Mine laying and mine sweeping are
two important subordinate functions
in a modern navy, and both Of these
occupations are fraught with danger
to those engaged in them
A mine is really a metal globe con-
tanning anything from 200 pounds to
290 pounds Of trinitrOtOluene, or T.
N. T., an extremely powerful high ex-
plOsiVe, calculated to make things very
unpleasant for any ship that runs
against one of the little horns on top
of the mine
Before the mine is put into the sea
the globe squats, as one might say
between four metal uprights upon a
round, fiat weight, to which it is at
tached by short length of wire rope,
the greater part of which is coiled
round drum inside the weight.
When the mine is put into the water
the whole cOntrivance sinks at once
to the bottom. AS soon as it touches
ground the bump releases d little
catch, which sets all sorts of wheels
revolving, with the result that the
four uprightS fall outward They grip
the sea bed, and the continuance is an
chored. Then the globe begins to rise,
while the rope unwinds until it has
reached fixed length
Thereafter woe betide the unfortu-
nate ship that runs upon it.-LOndon

Herbert G. Hoover, recent head OF
the Belgium Relief Commission ana
now appointed Director of the United
States Food Board, says that the fore
most duty of America at the present
time is TO supply more food. He al
so advises that every family should
eat more corn bread instead OF wheat
to help reduce the shortage of food
stuffs.
The demand this season for corn
products for both home and foreign
consumption has been enormous. This
demand is increasing daily and the
wise farmer will take advantage OF
this opportunity He will be assured
Of a ready market and a fair premium
for his crop, and will give and help
feed the world and aid in reducing
the food shortage, that now menaces
us.
Europeans have discovered that
white corn products, such as homlny,
grits, corn meal and corn flour, FUR
nishes the cheapest nOuriShing food
for both its armies and citizenry We
already know tive know that corn
is the mainstay of this natiOn-that
America was raised on it.
Nowhere in this big country OF ours
can corn be better raised than right
in this locality. Plant every avail
able acre in white corn, you will not
only be doing your state and your
government a great service, but no
crop will be more profitable.
