British Push Ahead

The British attacks were made on
the roads from Bapaume and Pc
rome to Cambria, Berlin reports.
and the Germans were forced to give
ground. Canbrai, the railroad cen
ter for all the German lines between
Lille and the Champagne, is less than
ten miles from Havrincourt, reached
by the British last spring. There has
been no great fighting activity on this
portion of the front for several
months but a blow here might be
corollary to the recent French stroke
southwest of Laon.
Violent Austro- German attacks are
being thrown against Monte Tomba,
but the Italians have repulsed all ef-
forts successfully. The position is
one of the natural strongholds pro-
cting the plains of western Venetia
behind the Piave river and the in
vaders are making strenuous efforts
to gain 1t.

THE PROBLEM OF AMERICAN
JUDAISM.

JUDAISM.
Magazine editors have of late
years made a wonderful discovery in
this country. They have discovered
the American Jew and his Judaism.
Like all discoveries, it has to be ex-
plotted; it has been converted into
literary marketable article. And so
we are periodically RECALLED to essays
on Jews and Judaism and their prob
lens.
Why we Jews should be singled
out for special dissection, eNamina-
ton and treatment is hard to tell.
Anyone with some knowledge of the
forces that mould societies and in
huence the life and conduct of hu-
man beings, would at once conclude
that American ews are very much
what American News are. The
same conditions of life, the same
spirit or atmosphere affects them ALL
Are the Jews falling away from their
religion or rather from the synagog?
So are the Christians deserving their
churches Are the Jews becoming
materialists, eager for money and
the things that money can procure?
SO are the Christians. Are the Jews
promoters of organized charity, in
terested in social welfare, and giving
large sums of money for it? SO are
the Christians. And the Jews are
doing all this, not because they are
Jews any more than the non ews
are doing it because they are Chris
tians. Both are doing it because
they live in the same milieu, are in
huenced by the same spirit, the same
ideas, feed on the same mental pabu
lum, and are governed by the same
laws and institutions. The Jews can
live their own life and develop a
character of their own only in a
country of their own, amidst condi-
tons and institutions peculiar to,
and necessary for, that country.
Those who believe it desirable that
national or racial groups should not
lose their individuality, but should
live their own life, develop their own
culture, and thus make their con-
tribution to the sum-total of the
worlds civilization and progress,
subscribe to the doctrine of national
ism, which, with reference to Jews,
is ZiOnism.

A JOYOUS FESTIVAL.

which falls this year on March 9th
corresponding to the 18th day of
Adar of the Hebrew Calendar), is a

and is celebrated IN COmmemOTdI1On
of our ancestors suspicious deliver
ance from imminent destruction, as
narrated with fine dramatic power in
the Book of Esther.
The Purim story takes us back for
it's setting to ancient Persia. Haman,
Prime Minister of the realm and
pampered favorite of the king, feel
ing himself especially affronted be-
cause the Jew Mordecai, alone of
those at the palace gate had refused
him homage, came to cherish not
only ranking resentment against
the one Jew who had crossed him,
but also a passionate animosity
against all the Jews as such.
In order to work their ruin he ca
Illuminated them to the king, accus-
ing them of clannishness and lack of
patriotism, of being alien enemies
and the like-false charges which
have become the stock-in-trade of
anti-Semites ever since. Happily,
the appeal to race and religious pref
udice did not, in this instance, at
least, lead to outright massacre of
the Jews. The brave intercession of
Queen Esther, who in her elevation
to the throne did not forget her peo-
pie, saved the Jews from the cruel
fate which threatened. The arch
plotter Haman came to an ignomini-
Gus end. And Mordecai, in recogni-
ton of the public services he had
rendered, was given high office. To
celebrate the happy outcome, the
festival of Purim was instituted as
an annual day of rejoicing, day of
sending of gifts to friends and re-
Numbering the poor.
Naturally enough, Purim came to
have strong popular appeal to the
Jew during the later centuries of
persecution. The story of deliver
ance which Purim told spelt mes
sage of hope and courage to those
undergoing sore oppression. And
the merry festivities with which the
holiday was celebrated brought
brightness and cheer into the gloom
of the Ghettos. The spirit of Purim
was throughout more social than re-
ligious. Its observance in the syna-
gogue was limited to the reading of
the Book of Esther from the tradi-
tional scroll. In and outside of the
home, masquerades, plays and other
entertainments made up the celebra-
ton.
The name Purim is derived, &C

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
ISAAC MAYER WISE.

n llllC DlOSI dplly VI q s cat Ildll
has just appeared from the press of
G.. P. Putnam's Sons 1t is a biog-
raphy of DR.. Isaac M. Wise by
Judge Max B. May, of Cincinnati.
Although many articles and treatises
have been written on the life and
work of the great leader in American
Jewry, Judge Mays biography of
DR.. Wise forms the first complete
history of DR.. Wise's career and &C
tivities. The work is extremely in
teresting. 1t starts out with a short
review of conditions existing in Euro
pean countries, with especial refer
ence to Bohemia, DR.. Wise's native
country, during the latter part of the
Eighteenth and the early part of the
Nineteenth century. With this re-
view of European conditions as a
background, Judge May then delin-
Gates the life and career of the
founder of Reform Judaism in Amer
lea, whom he terms Wrongly, we
think the founder Of American Ju-
daism, with remarkable ability and
earnestness. Though related to Dr.
Wise, Judge May treats his subject
quite effectively, frankly comparing
Dr. Wise to many other great men
who rise from humble beginnings to
a position of influence and promi-
nence." The later experiences of the
great rabbi and Jewish leader, in
GLIDING his last years in Europe, his
arrival in the United States, and his
experiences in the Albany congrega-
ton, are based to large extent on
DR.. Wise's own writings and remi-
niscences.
The valuation of DR.. Wise's career
as editor and rabbi and founder of
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, which Judge May
peculiarly refers to in the running
title of the chapter as the "Union of
American Hebrews" the Hebrew
Union College, and the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis, is given
with such clarity and accuracy as to
render it a most valuable contribu-
ton to the Jewish history of this
country.
The two closing chapters, Chaps.
Is and 10, are devoted to an interest
ing account of DR.. Wise's personal
activities and characteristics and to
a description of the last rites and
honors that accompanied his death
and funeral seventeen years ago.
All in all, the work is such as to
fascinate both the lay reader and the
scholar and forms a great contribu-
ton to the literature dealing with

the plaintiffs are asking, there
ore, first. for the annulment of the
contract of employment of the engi
neer; and, secondly, for an mjunc,
ton as to the payment of money on
the contracts for material and road
construct on. The latter demand is
necessarily diviSible into the causes
of acton against all the contracts and
contractors affected thereby. If the
causes are misjoined, and permission
to eject be granted the plaintiff he
may choose to prosecute his rule for
injunction. The contractors could
then claim multifariousness, because
two conspiracies are alleged, in only
one of which either was implicated
and payment of their respective con.
tract prices is sought to be suspend,
ed in a proceeding in a large part Of
which each would have no interest.
The exceptions of misjoinder will
be sustained, and the suit dismissed
by way of noncuit.

CONGRESSMAN L. LAZARO
VISITING THE DISTRICT

DR.. Lazaro was in Welsh Friday,
shak ng hands with as many of his
friends and supporters as he could
meet during his short stay. The DR.,
is taking advantage of the Con-
gressional recess to personally visit
every section Of the district and
thus familiarize himself with the
Ivayyi9,; needs of the district. Fur
ing the week he went to Grand
Chenjere, presumably to get &C
quainted with the sentiment there
as affecting the proposed new dam
in the Mermentau.
DR.. Lazaro was apparently quite
optimistic although we appreciates
fully the. seriousness of the situa-
tiQn the government faces in the
present crisis. In speaking of oul
part in the great conflict, he said:

to have submitted to Germanys or

by recent developments, the very
principles on which our government
rests were at stake; and certainly
our government owed it to its people
to protect their lives, their liberties,
and their freedom. 1t ought to be
plain now to any thinking men who
follows current events that Ger

England and Russia, and then with

duty of every American citizen, If,
