 There has been much of distinctly human interest in the achievement of American Jewry in raising total of more than sl0,0O0,0O0 for the relief of the Jews in Europe and in Palestine affected by the war. Neither the big ness of the amount raised nor the fact that much larger sum Is in pro- cess of now being contributed by the 8,000,o00 persons of Jewish origin in the United States, constitute the most important factors in the vast under taking.
 Nor do the sensational collections, running into the millions at single meetings, nor individual contributions, unequaled in the history of philan- thropy, begin to convey an adequate heart which make the Jewish people stand forth unique among the diverse | races of the world.
 The story itself breathes romance, pulsates with heart throbs and is re- plete with inspiration. Indeed, there is very great deal in the Jewish char acter, as disclosed in what American Jews have done from purely humani- tarian motives, worthy of emulation by non-Jews of all faiths and nation alities.
 It is one of the most remarkable illustrations of homogeneity. unself- ishness and capacity to do for others shown by any people at any time in the worlds history.
 Striking as is what has been accom- plished by American Jewry for their lco-religionists visited with disaster across the seas, equally striking Is the manner in which the needs of the less fotunate at home have been met with out diminution of aid. despite the gold en stream which has given comfort and life to the stricken of other lands
 
 l With the United States now involved l in the war the loyalty of Jews to this government, their affection for this flag and the unanimity displayed by them 1 in support of American ideals, no mat 1 ter what the land of their birth, pro. vides an additional example to other Americans.
 1 Here in Birmingham we have hal ample proof of the Jews loyalty te America. We have also had proof ot our peoples confidence in their loyalty for when the Liberty Day parade was thought of Joe Loveman was made chairman and splendid success he made it. Again when the Registration Day parade was inaugurated Joe Saks headed the committee and gave us 2 great day.
 I The Jews help Christians to raise money for their charities. Knowing this to be true we, as Christians ought to help them in their hour ol |need-despite the fact that they have mot bothered us with their needs. Here lis what they have done:

This is the title of little book showing the human side of America outpouring of relief for the suffering Jews of other countries.
 The secretary of the joint distribu- tion committee of funds for Jewish War sufferers. Albert Lucas. requests that we make use of any material III if to arouse the public to the pressing needs.
 The work done by the three com mittees engaged in raising funds throughout the United States, the American Jewish relief committed the central committee for the relief or laws suffering through the war, and the Jewish peoples relief committee of America, has centered in the 3olnt distribution committee. which has transmitted to the different commit tees abroad the money contributed bv the Jews of America to the three committees.

Hereditary Titles
STpurmed In Canada

NNTHILE the British colonies are
 WV notably loyal to the moth CT" country, they are, with scarcely an exception, free from any tendency to social caste or liking for monarch ical customs. Canadians are so dis tinctly democratic that representative leaders of the liberal element resent the London governments practice in vogue of late of bestowing, in the name of the crown, hereditary titles -baronetcies and peerages-on his majesty's subjects in the dominion.
 Royalty and the honors supposed to eminate from the throne still appeal to the English imagination. The tories believe strongly in the old prerogatives of the sovereign, and many of them are as much beholden to the order of precedence ob- served at court functions and to lordly privilege as if they were living in the time of the Tudors. But the reverence for titles did not cross the Atlantic, even though loyalty to the English government in Canada re- mained unshaken.
 Until recently all titles of royal ori- gin were extremely rare in the do- minion. A few political leaders were knighted, but knighthood is not hereditary and if any allowance were to be made for titles it would be that of "sir,' when signal honor for the recipient was deserved. But now that ths ipperial government has begun to

SONG OF MARIoN's MEN

By William Cullen Bryant. Our band is few, but true and tried. Our leader frank and bold; The British soldier trembles When Marion's name Is told. Our fortress Is the good greenwood, Our tent the cypress tree; We know the forest round us, As seamen know the sea: We know it's walls of thorny vines. It's glades of reedy grass. It's safe and silent islands Within the dark morass. Woe to the English soldiery That little dread us neari On them shall light at midnight A strange and sudden fear; When. waking to their tents on fire. They grasp their arms in vain,
 And they who stand to face us Are beat to earth again;
 And they who fly in terror deem 1 A mighty host behind. And hear the tramp of thousands Upon the hollow wind.
 Then sweet the hour that brings release l From danger and from toll; l We talk the battle over, | And share the battles spoil.
 The woodland rings with laugh and shout, l As if a hunt were up. l And woodland flowers are gathered 1 To crown the soldiers cup. i 1 With merry songs we mock the wind 1 That in the pne-top grieves, ] And slumber long and sweetly 1 On beds of oaken leaves. 1 Well knows the fair and friendly moon ! The band that Marion leads The glitter of their rifles 1 The scampering of their steeds. l 'Tis life to guide the fiery harb
 Across the moonlight plain; ! 'Tis life to feel the night-wind | That lifts his tossing mane A moment-and away Back to the painless forest, 1 Before the peep of day. Grave men there are by broad Santee, NJ 1 Grave men with hoary hairs;
 Their hearts are all with Marion, S> l For Marion are their prayers.
 And lovely ladies greet our band l With kindliest welcoming. | With smiles like those of summer. i And tears like those of spring. For them we wear these trusty armn.6 l And lay them down no more
 Till we have driven the Briton JI
 Forever from our shore. !

It launched it's career up Steadman Avenue dnI get as far as the Catholic hurCn where it stopped. Up 10 that it's mechanical conduct had been beyond reprGach, but when it got the engineer where he couldn't use strOng language without sense of reproach, it goad- ed him to do his worst. It appears that the cooling apparatus was not as perfect as it ought to be and it is now in dry dock with a view of over coming this very slight flaw in it's perfection. The machine worked like charm until the high speed engines became over heated and ne- cessitated stopping for the sake of cooling off. This trial trip demon strated that it is only a matter of time until the autosled will be ready for any emergency and Scotty may make the trip to Juneau on the machine yet-providing there are enough dog team en route in case of an unexpected emergency.

 Yesterday morning Axel Berg who is working with Fred M. John son on Wonder creek met with an accident and it is wonderful that he is alive to tell the tale. While going down the ladder of their prospecting shaft, Berg shortly after he started to descend missed his hold and fell to the bottom of the shaft, suffering no other injury than a painful wrench to his left ankle. He fell upon his feet. It dppCdIo IHdI III lllC AlOl iilH6 oollO snow having drifted in the shaft it was believed advisable to clear the | ladder. One man went down and reached the bottom clearing the lad der of snow and ice as he went down. After he had reached the bottom Berg started to descend and he fell after he had gone down a few rungs. The depth of his fall is close to fifty feet but the snow that l had drifted into the bottom of the shaft. it is believed broke the fall
 somewhat and thus saved his life ol
 at least prevented much more ser
 ious injury. The bucket was in tht
 shaft at the time, but Berg fell ol rather landed on his feet betweer the bucket and the walls of the shaft. He came to town with MT
 Johnson yesterday and is resting up
 but did not require medical atten
 ton.
