OUTLET SOUGHT
FOR FRUIT CROP
PACIFIC COAST MAN TOURS THE
ORIENT FOR NEW
MARKETS.

VANCOUVER, B. C.-Ansen Penfield
Bateham, of Portland, sailed from Van
couver to-day for the orient as an agent
of the department of agriculture to
find a market for fruit from the Pa
cific. The department is seeking a
market for fruit which was formally
sold in the United Kingdom England
has placed an embargo on fruit.
Bateham will first go to China, and
latter will visit Japan, Australia, New
Zealand, the Philippines and eastern
Siberia. The investigation will re-
quire a number of months, but he will
send back to the United States such
information as may be useful 10 Pa
oific coast shippers during the com
ing season. Bateham will remain
in the most important markets through
next fall and winter, assisting the ship
,rers as far as practicable by observ
ing the actual handling of the ship
ments from America.
Clarence w. Moomaw, in charge of
the foreign market investigations of
the bureau of markets of the depart
ment of agriculture made the following
statement regarding Bateham'c trip
to the orient:
''An effort will be made throughout
the investigation TO relate the work as
closely as possible in practical ways
to the organized activities of those
producers and shippers who are most
interested in the market development
work which is expected to follow. For
this purpose MI. Bateham and myself
already have held extensive confer
ences with fruit shippers representing
a very large percentage of the fruit
shipprs of California and the Pacific
northwest. AS the result of these
the specific phases of the
have been outlined thor
oughly so that Mr. Bateham goes to the
foreign field with a very definite and
practical program of work. In adj
dition of this the conferences have re-
suited in definite plans on the part of
the shippers in taking immediate ad-
vantage of such opportunities as the
may reveal"

IDAHO MAY FALL
BELOW STANDARD
REGISTRATION FOR MILITARY
SERVICE NOT UP, TO
THE MARK

BOISE-Complete returns received
from 10 counties in this state We'd
nesday night show total registration
of 1O,261 was recorded Tuesday when
the young men of the state offered
themselves for military service. For
the same counties the estimate of the
government issued by the census
bureau called for registration of
16.530. Twin Falls so far is the ban
ner county, with total registration
of 2489. which is slightly short of the
government estimate of 2690. There
are 41 counties in the state, so that
practically one-fourth of them have
been heard from. On the face of the
returns the total registration will be
greater than either the estimates of
the governor of adjutant general and
less than that of the government. The
grand total will be about 35,500. The
states quota of 5000 is based on an
estimated population of 450,S10, which
is in excess of the actual population.
The provost marshal telegraphed
the governor that where registrations
are offered in good faith to any of the
county sheriffs they may be accepted
for the next two or three days. Gov
ernor Alexander said he would post re-
wards for the apprehension of slack
ess if there is evidence eligible men
have failed to register.
The following are the total regis
trations reported by counties to the
governor: Bear Lake, 813; Gem, 554;
Lewis, $50; Lincoln, Sal; Madison,
S42; Nezperce, 1870; Teton, 1852;
Twin Falls, 24S9; Ada, 2121.

EDl TORfAL

A big newspaper headline blazed
forth the fact that 100000 was
pledged the other evening by New
York for Jewish war relief. Then
the item went on to say that Mr..
Jacob Schiff subscribed $500, 900 of
it, and a few other millionaires from
$4,000 to $4,000 EACH That is
very easy and simple way for New
York to raise million dollars. The
truth of the matter is that New York
Jewry has not yet done it's full duty
in that direction If New York's
contribution were proportionate to
those of the smaller communities
further inland, it should be $1O,OOO,-
600. The difficulty, we suppose, lies
in making a thoro canvass in New
York, and reaching all who ought
to give. There is SO much New York
that it seems to be easy for many to
escape.

cause, somebody should be on hand
to remind Roumania of the fact that
only those deserve sympathy who
themselves show sympathy and do
justice to others. Roumania's treat
,ment of her Jewish subjects has
been notorious for it's barbarity and
cruelty For duplicity, chicanery,
and treachery in her dealings with
her Jewish population she has had
few rivals. Her plight now may
and should appeal to American chlv-
airy and generosity, but she should
also be given to understand that
America is in this war to secure
justice and democracy for all, and to
protect the weak against the tyran-
ny of the strong. Let her take that

Our criticism of the Minneapolis
Y. M. H. A. program has had its
good results. We hope that the
young people now realize that our
structures were we'll deserved and
we'll meant. We have not the least
doubt that the young men of the
association have worthy objects IN
view, that they are all earnest mind
ed, that theirs is great opportun-
ity of doing good work among the
youth of the city. But they need
now and then some guidance, coun-
sci and encouragement. Friendly
criticism sometimes answers that
purpose.
What the Association and it's di-
recting spirits must always bear in
mind is that it is Jewish, and must
always remain Jewish, and that its
Jewishness is it's only justification.
The same is true of every other or
ganization that calls itself Jewish.
And there is so much room for Jew
ish activity, Jewish study, Jewish
Improvement, that as Y. M. H. A.
it need not trouble itself about any
thing else. Of course, it's individual
members may belong to non-Jewish
organizations at the same time, po-
litical social and educational and
engage in their respective activities.
But a Jewish society exists only for
Jewish work.

HANUKAH, THE FEAST OF
DEDICATION.

The midwinter festival of Judaism
is Hanukah, the Feast of Dedica-

cember tenth and lasts week. 1t
commentaries the victory of the
Maccabees and their re-dedication of
the Temple On Mt Zion after it had
been despoiled and defled by the
Syrian tyrant, Antiochus Epiphanes.
These events of the second century
before the Christian era, are told in
the two books of the Maccabees, which
give a detailed picture of the time.
They narrate that Mattathias, the
priest of Modin, refused to sacrifice
to Jupiter, that he and his five sons
took to the hills and conducted a
guerilla warfare for years, finally
conquered the enemy in a pitched
battle, and thus won both political
and religious freedom for their op-
pressed people. Judas Maccabee.
the greatest military leader, died be-
tore the war was ended, but his
example continued to give inspira-
ton to the people and the struggle
ended in the complete victory of the
Jews. Hanukah is the only warlike
festival of the Jewish people, but
even in it the soldiers divide honors
with the martyrs among whom we
may mention Hannah, a heroic
woman who with her seven sons
died rather than desert the faith.
