WHAT JEWS ARE DOING TO
AID NATION IN WAR.
Subject of Monograph to be
Published.

New York, Nov. 11.-Pledglng
their Elves and possessions" to the
cause of liberty and humanity the
delegates of the American Jewish
Committee at their eleventh annual
convention in the Hotel Aston,
adopted a resolution of loyalty and
allegiance to the United States Gov
eminent in the prosecution of the
war against Germany.
Mr.. Marshall, president Of the
American Jewish Committee, de-
clared that preparations were being
made to collect and record as much
statistical and other information
with regard to the participation of
Jews in the military and civilian
activities of the United States in
connection with the war as is pos
sible. Arrangements are being made.
for the publication of a monograph
on "The Jews in the Wars of the
United States" with special atten-
ZION TO the present Wal.
1t was the sentiment of the meet
ing that the publication of such sta
tistics would initiate strongly
towards nipping in the bud anti
semitism which was beginning to ap-
pear in various parts of the country.
In his report, Louis Marshall, cas-
ually mentioned the postponement
of the Jewish Congress, saying that
the meeting would later elect dele
gates to this Congress. This, how
ever, was not done.
Following the committee reports
there was discussion of various as
poets of Jewish life: Israel Fried
lander said it was regretted that
members of the race were referred
to as Jews only when they commit
ted wrong act, but were not identi
fled as Jews when they did COM
mendable things.
1T has been pointed out" he
said, "that $4,000 Jews voted for
Morris Hillquit, but little has been
said about the fact that much larg-
er number of New York Jews sub
scribed to the two Liberty Loans"
Philadelphia was selected as the
convention city for next year. The
following officers were elected:
Louis Marshall, president; Cyrus
Adler, vice president and chairman
of the executive committee; ] julius
Rosenwa1d, second vice PRESIDENT;
Isaac w. Bernheim, treasurer.

A CALL TO WAR.

THERE is something more noble than
peace, if peace means benumDe0
Indifference to moral issues, and
dead aloofness to the cry and sigh OF
those who are wrOnged.
There is something worse than the en-
durance of pain, and that is a callos dis
regard when pain is being unrighteOusly
inflicted by others.
There is something worse than death,
and that is to be dead to the call of chiv-
airy. dead to the trumpet blast of justice
and of truth.
There is something worse than war, and
that something is the willingness to con-
template barbarities and yet remain in
self-satisfied security.
To lose ones honor is far greater ca
lamity than to lose ones life. We may
pay too great price for peace; we can
surrender our righteousness; and when
we forfeit our righteousness, the peace we
secure is counterfeit and it offers only a
new breeding ground for every sort OF
shameful mischief and strife.
You can't stroke barbarities; you have
got to fight them. They confront us with
hostile mein and frown. 1t is call to war

tist Church, New York.

There may be minor divisions OF opln-
ion in congress as in the country, but any
major or obstructive decision, after the
adoption of the Flood resolution, will be
a division not as between Democrat and
Republican but as between American and

through no misdeed or lack Of patience on
our part, with the imperial government

The A. S. Kenney grocery last week
saved a resident Redwood County three
dollars on a twenty-five dollar order for
groceries. The list as made up from mall
order catalogue amounted to twenty-elght
dollars. to which freight would nece ssar-
ily be added. Mr.. Kenney filled it with
perfect ease for twenty-five dollars and
no freight charges If money talks, this
Saving should certainly talk plain horse
sense to some of the mail-order manlacs
now out of captivity.
To many of us active part in the aotua'
warfare in which our country is about to
engage is denied through the accident OF
sex, the years we have lived or our duty
| to dependent families. But the work we
forced stay-at-hornes can do is great, the
sacrifices we will be called upon to make
will be great. Our first share in this work
of war must be going cheerfully about the
every day things in spite Of the dull ache
at the heart of us; in encouraging those
who must bear the brunt of the fight: in
counting no sacrifice Of personal comfort
or gain to great to make for our country
sake. The art of sacrifice is one not easily
learned, and one which many Of us have
never even attempted to acquire.

Tn all the world there is no flag more
inspiring than the Stars and Stripes; the
fairest symbol of unstained honor, after
more than a century of national life and
international relations. Life and service
under that flag is priceless privilege and
guarantee of good faith In peace and
war. Loyalty to that flag is the supreme
duty, not only to the American republic,
but to the cause of government by the
consent of the governed and liberty and
democracy throughout the world. Under
this flag, Americans Of German ancestry
and birth, with the countless millions OF
other origins, have found a new freedom,
which to conserve and maintain is enough
to have lived for, and, if need be, to have
suffered and to have died for. Above and
beyond the glory of empire and the
achievements of military power lies the
higher duty to the cause of truth and the
that exalteth nation.

Railroad to Indian Head.

Officials of the Washington and New
port News Short Line have informed
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
members of Congress that if the Swan
son Padgett bill, guaranteeing $3.50, 90
in freight traffic to the line in the ~
years is passel without delay, the mex
link from Bennings to the Indian Head
Proving Grounds and powder factory
will be constructed and in operation by
next summer.
1t ia said that Secretary Daniels is
behind the proposed plan of modified
Government aid for the construction of
the first link in this railroad, which will
pierce the heart of Southern Maryland.
The interest in the construction of the
line is prompted by the fact the Navy
Department proposes to establish at
Indian Head one of the biggest gun
testing grounds in the world, even
larger than the one now being establish
ed in Hartford county by the War De-
| partment.

To The Corn Growers of Prince
Georges County.

You have demonstrated your ability
and patriotism by raising the largest
corn crop ever produced and have &C
complished it under rather unfavorable
seasonal and labor conditions. This &C
complshment entities you to special
honors.
Now a greater opportunity and task
confronts you and the earlier its magni-
tude is realized, the better will the
country be fortified.
Last spring You had good supply OF
good seed. Now very considerable
area has suffered a cold, backward
summer and about five per cent of the
corn acreage was frosted 80 early as to
make seed saving impossible. AS there
! is practically no hold over supply, the
frost stricken and drought stricken
areas must import seed and next year 3
success depends upon the promptness
and thoughtfulness with which these I'M
portations are made.
AS considerable thoroughly mature
corn is now being harvested in sections
with similar climate conditions to the
frost and drought stricken areas,
prompt action by each planter who Is
not now supplied with adapted seed,
can prevent a seventy-ti five million
bushel reduction in next years crop.
Whether you can secure another vic
tory next year depends largely upon
YOUR action now. Each and every
planter for his own sake and for his
country's sake, should have sufficient
adapted seed corn set aside now or
should get it without delay. 70 delay
is to invite failure. The consequences
are too serious to permit transportation
problems, state lines, prices or any
thing to delay the securing of suitable |
seed corn for the seedless areas. Suit
able seed is available now that will be
used for other proposes than seed before |
next spring. Unadapted seed may be
available next spring, but would prove |
costly at any price whereas we'll adapt |
ed seed should prove profitable at many |
times its cost.
make this appeal to you personally
because upon you depends the success
of next years corn crop, which Is
threatened through scarcity Of well
matured, locally adapted seed. The
seed trade, county, state. and national
workers, though anxious, can help
but little except as you make known
YOUR needs and your supplies, and you
should act now as you would act if next
week were corn planting time.
The above was prepared by Z. +.
HURLEY of the Department of Agrleul-
ture and it should be considered serious
~ by all farmers. Good seed corn will
be nearly impossible to obtain next
spring. The County Agent knows Ut
about $50 bushels of Boone County
White corn that will make good seed. |
IL is being tested tor its termination
at present. This Corn can be obtained
by exchanging your corn for the Boone
County White and paying freight
charges both ways from Garrett Park

In MemOriam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF our
dear mother, Mary E. Cooke, who de-
parted this life one year ago, December
18th, 1916.
Death has robbed us of our dear mother,
Of the one we loved SO we'll,
Taken from this world of sorrow,
Safely home with him to dwell.
Gone from earth? yes! gone forever,
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain;
We shall hear her voice, on never
Nevermore on earth again.
One sad year with all its changes
Since death strangely babe US part,
But, dear mother, all the changes
Cannot take you from our hear.
But again we hope to meet you
Where the day of life is fled;
When in heaven with joy to greel you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
