Battle Front Canteens Give Joy and Comfort
 to Stout Hearted ssP0ilu'

Paris, October 1.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )--To the stout hearted .'poiiu" who is going up for his turn in the trenches, or to his weary brother-in-arms coming down, is no more welcome greeting than that of the sign "Cantine Franco-Americaine." above the joined flags of the two republics on some wayside building or courtyard close to the lines.
 There he knows he will find hot things to drink-bouillon. coffee, tea, chocolate, even his 'menthe" drink-hot food per- haps, and sandwich. word to cheer him, moments relaxation from the tenseness in which he is living.
 number of these canteens, conducted jointly by the American Red Cross and the Soctete de SccOurs aux Blesses Mili- taires, already are in operation It is intended that at least 36 of them shall be stationed within short time along the entire French front from Belfort north to the region about Soissons.
 The American Red Cross pays the French society for whatever Is needed in the way of supplies and joins in the work of dispensing the refreshment to the soldiers. A French officer and an American representative of the Red Cross are on duty at each of the can- teens.
 If any service with the army demands all that man possesses of fortitude and unremitting energy, 1t is this service. The proximity of the stations to the lines subjects the convoyers to the constant peril of gunfire and gas attack and many a bad Quarter-hour has already been spent by those who have undertaken this humane task.
 As every hazardous service readily finds it's volunteers. the canteen service has drawn into it's ranks many Americans who have distinguished themselves at home, and among the French officers are a number who bear names which are known throughout France.
 The American Red Cross representative at one canteen, after working all night to supply soldiers of a passing division with food and drink, wrote:
 Tt does do ones heart good to see such gratitude as their's.'
 The work is dangerous and Lonesome and only for those who have courage and determination. Therefore the American Red Cross is just now in need of volun- teers for this Corps d Elite,' as othel canteens are ready to be opened.

Royal Stables in Heart
 of Athens to Be Sold

Athens, September 1o.-(By Mail)-One of the signs that democracy has taken the place of royalty is the public no- tice that the Kings royal stables will be sold at auction. The stables are in the very heart of Athens, occupying 2 whole block on the two main streets.
 Now that Premier venizelos has re- stored democratic administration. one of the first moves has ben to dispose of this royal eye-sore in the center of the city.
 The royal stables have been little short of an arsenal during the exciting inci- dents of the last year. Alongside them a machine gun was posted during the at- tack on the Venizelists last December The gun was trained toward the Veni- zelos home and volley would doubt less have reached the American lega- ton alongside. It was only the warning of the American minister. delivered to the gunners by Captain Davis, the American military attache, that saved the street from being raked by the dead ly fire. of this machine gun.

Behind the Front, October 1-(Corres- pondence. )-The genuinely affectionate bond between gunners and infantry in the British army anyone may learn from the conversation in the Young Mems Christian association hut, or anywhere else in France when soldiers with leis- ure for yarn congregate The chip ping between the two is constant; and it is the staple dish of humor Now, the British soldier only ''chips" when he is in a good temper himself and is confident of the good temper of his friend. It was noticeable on the Somme when the colonial troops came into close contact with the mother country troops that there was no chipping" between them for a long time A Yorkshire who would maintain humorously the utter uselessness of 8 Durham would not say anything of chipping" nature to an Australian. Not at first. He did not know him well enough. Later on, with perfected comradeship, the chipping came.

 Rhe theme that the gunner is a selfish hound who stays far back in the rear because he would be frightened to death If he saw a Hun Artillery retorts that The can't see, he's blind, if he can see, why they keep the infantry mud-crunch- CTS in the field at all, because the gum ners did all the real fighting. That IS chipping" If it is done artistically. it will amuse shed full of men as the back-chat" of nigger minstrel come dians does. It shows that they know that the artillery provides the very best kind of preparatory school for teaching the Hun manners; and that the infantry provides the finishing school.
 Apart from the chipping" every of- ficer at the front can tell of dozens of incidents showing the fine way in which gunner and rifleman understand and appreciate because they recall two glorious localities.
 INCIDENT CITED
 It was a night behind Vimy ridge be- fore our conquest of the Vimy ridge. The Germans had developed sudden attack and well behind out line, be- tween our field gun positions and the ammunition dumps they had set up two barrages. one of shrapnel and high ex- plosive. the other of tear shells. Our guns were busy and ammunition had to come up pretty constantly, though 1t was ticklish work getting the wagons through the barrages.
 The acting captain of - battery, with eight wagons of the very best had come well forward from his con voy to reconnoitre. There was about quarter of a mile of shell-swept road fringed in parts with cottages, to be traversed and no other route. Behind the cottages were sheltering some in-

 The officer had pulled up his horse, snorting and rearing, to see the last

 It was good enough for the gunners to go through the barrage, it was good enough for the infantry to come out and give cheer. That was the feel ing,
 Irregular of course and probably many an officer cursed with his lips, but with his heart approved, for ev- cry man who gave or heard the cheer that night fought the better for it. A NIGHT ON THE SOMME little out of Albert the wagon lines of - division royal artillery were preparing supper at nightfall when the wheat field in front began to fill up with infantry, massing at a point fairly free from shell fire for big attack the next morning. Tn the lines of one battery someone had the excellent idea of preparing dixey of tea and bringing it up to the nearest infantry company; and the man who brought up the tea found that the same thought had come to practically all the batteries Until late at night traffic went to and fro, the gunners doing their best to make the infantry bivouac comfortable.
 Before dawn the infantry were on the march and there was hot tea still on tap at some artillery cook places. There was something of a shortage in that artillery camp for the next few days of cigarettes particu- larly. But the infantry possibly put a little more spice into the attack be- 1 cause of the way in which the wait I ing night had been comforted; and. l highest sign of gratitude, there came a I few days after to that artillery camp

The American Jewish world., 1917-01-05

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Our friend, The Minneapolis Jour
nal, in its issue of January End, edi-
torially discusses the reasons "Whv
Russia Refuses U.s." meaning there
by Russia's refusal to negotiate a
new commercial treaty with this
country. The Journal rightly con-
cludes that the real reason is the in
slstence of our government on Rus
sia's recognition of American pass
ports when presented by American
Jews. But while it tries hard to re-
main neutral in it's discussion of the
matter, here and there statement
is made by The Journal that cannot
but give encouragement and JOY to
the many, alas too many, paid or in
terested American defenders of the
infamous attitude Of the Russian
government toward American Jews,
and to the American advocates of
a renewal of. our treaty relations
with Russia because of the prospect
of big profits therefrom for our big
banking and business interests.
"Despite the new freedoms that
have been granted to Jewish sub
jects of Russia since the war began"
says The Journal editorial, "the
policy of the Cars government re-
mains nti-Semitic" Thanks for the
admission contained in the second
half of the above sentence, although
we are not particularly stuck on
that high-sounding word "anti-Sem-
itic" Russia is not anti-Sem-
itic but anti Jewish. 1t is not op-
pressing and crushing to death the
old Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoeni-
clans, etc., but only the Jews. But
granting that anti Semitic is the
better-sounding term, and diplomat
ically more acceptable, where did our
friend get the information about ''the
new freedoms that have been grant
ed to Jewish subjects of Russia ?"
The Jews of Russia would be glad
to get only one freedom, the freedom
to live. What are the many free
doms they have obtained? Let us
see if we cannot enumerate some of
them: the freedom to have about
100000 men serve in the Russian
armies, and to be among the first in
the firing line and the trenches,
among the first to be killed or
manned; the freedom to have the

families of these Jewish soldiers
driven from their homes like herds
of cattle and made to wander from
place to place in the severe winter
cold, poorly clad, hungry and faint,
old men, frail women, and title
children, the sick, the blind, the
halt, and to have their humble be-
longings looted or destroyed; the
freedom of those who remain in the
cities of the pale to starve, to die of
hunger or disease, because they are
not allowed to settle in other parts
of the huge empire; the freedoms
summed up in report of the speech
delivered by Deputy Freedman on
the recent re-opening of the Duma,
only part of which report being al
lowed to be published by the censor:
GAS hitherto. the Jewish press is
suspended and the Jews are deprived
of the opportunity even of printing
prayer books, text books and reference
books in their own tongue AS before,
hundreds of Jewish youth fail to OBJ
tain admission to the educational in
stitutions. l do not know whether the
government regrets that the percent
age norm in the schools in the invaded
provinces was abolished not by our
government. l do know, however, that
when rights were bestowed on the
privately maintained Psycho-Neurolo-
gical Institute the Cabinet insisted on
the introduction of percentage norm.
The Warsaw University, when estab-
lshed in that city, knew of no percent
age norm, but the same university
when transferred to ROstov maintains
percentage norm. Jews cannot study
at the Warsaw Veterinary Institute be-
cause it has been transferred to Novot-
cherkask, where Jews have no right
of domicile. l do not know whether
the government regrets the fact that
there are no restrictions for Jews in
The present Warsaw Municipality but
l do know that, according to the new
Municipal bill of the Ministry of the
Interior, all restrictions for Jews re-
main intact. This is how the principle
of right and justice is being realized
here"
We could cite many more such
freedoms from recent reports. But
why lengthen the tragic list? We
would beg the editor of The Journal
to mention the other kind of free
doms that he knows Of
"And however much we may deplore
the Russian treatment of the Jews, the
logic of the matter is all on the Rus
sian side. No government could per-
nit itself to be dictated to in the mat
ter of whom it should allow to enter
it's realm. We ourselves are opinion

dumlI ASldClCS, anu congress IN the
immigration bill now in conference has
sought to make the restrictions more
rigid.
1t thus happens that we have put up
the bars against all the Mongolian sub
jectS OF Russia, who number doubtless
several millions. 1t is true that few
of these Mongolian Russians have any
desire to come here, but the fact re-
mains that we bar them out, and
would negotiate no treaty with Russia
that would let them in How, then,
can we criticise Russia for insisting on
her own prejudices?"
Thus our friend, The Journal,
"The logic of the matter is all on
the Russian side" Russia is very
logical. Therefore, why refuse to
enter into new treaty with such
a logical country? But suppose we
extend the argument, and apply
Russia S logic, wonderful as it is, to
another situation. The Jews are not
the only ones who wish to travel
in Russia. Other American newly
rich indulge in that pastime. Now
it is well-known that there are many
vulgar people among these rich
American travellers who provoke a
great deal of ridicule and odium
among the more refined people of
European countries by their loud,
snowy behavior, by their foolish ex-
travagances, their bad manners, and
other bad examples they set the ma:
tives, in spite of the fact that the
latter are very glad to pocket the
American travellers dollars. Now
suppose logical Russia, convinced
that the example of rich American
travellers has a seductive, demoraliz-
ing, and corrupting influence upon
her own subjects, were to say to our
government: 1--WE refuse to honor
the passports presented by your vu1-
gar newl ly-rich, even though they be-
multi-millionaires. We have a right
to decide as to who should enter our
realm. You are doing the same.
thing. You exclude Africans, Mon
golians and others that you consider
Would not that be strictly logical?
1t certainly would. Not a flaw in
the logic anywhere. Would our
country then conclude treaty with
Russia on such terms? Logic die
tates that it should. But our gov
though not as logical as
Russia, is based on the principle of
Justice and political equality to all
our citizens, even the vulgar newly
