ABRAHAM SIMMER.

In the death of Abraham Simmer
humanity has lost a true philanthro-
pist and unique personality. A true
philanthropist he was, a lover of his
kind, Of all men, regardless of race
or creed. His ideal was humanity,
and he sought to help all human beings
who were in distress, especially the
sick, the aged, and the orphans.
But he was unique personality,
unique in this naughty, vain, comfort
and pleasure loving age of ours. Be-
ing blessed with fortune that insured
him an annual income of $4,000, he
gave it all away, himself living the
simplest, most abstemious life. His
tastes were modest, his wants few,
and he was contented and happy. He
always insisted that his wealth was
really not his, but Gods, and that he
had only the privilege of disposing of
it, giving it away. He thus was the
incarnation of the Jewish doctrine of
the rich man having his wealth only
in trust for the benefit of his fellow
man. How proud we should feel
that such a man has sprung FROM the
loins of Israel, and how we'll it iusti-
fies Israel's faith in his own worth
and in his destiny!

soldiers into separate fighting units,
apart from their fellow-citizens is
shallow, superficial thinking and
most pernicious and offensive theory.
The separation of Jewish soldiers
into separate regiments whether Eng
lish, French, German or American,
only accentuates the dividing lines
between Jewish citizens and their fell
low-countrymen.
To approve such separation or for
nation of Jewish regiments is almost
equivalent to admitting that Jews are
unpatriotic and that they need some
proof of their militant ability or will
lingness to help fight the battles of
any country wherein the Jew is rec
ognized as citizen and peer
We have sufficient evidence, Of

courage and devotion.

ceptional heroism and gallantry! In

It is we'll to remember that this
week according to the Jewish calendar,
marks the twentieth anniversary of
the converting of the first Zionist Con-
gress at Basic. It was this Congress
that first attracted the worlds atten-
ton to Dr. Herzl and his plan of so1v-
ing the Jewish problem, and crystal
lied Israel's ancient hope in a move
ment that the civilized world must
reckon with. The progress that Zion
ism has since made is a source of
qualification and renewed hope to all
it's adherents. It's gains in the Num-
Der Of followers and in financial re-
sources, and it's practical achievements
have been phenomenal. 1t has dis
armed some of it's harshest critics,
and has shown its persistent oppon-
ents how vain and futile it is to try
to stem the tide of an ideal that has
it's roots deep in a peoples conscious
ness.

This very evening, Saturday. a
farewell is being given at the Y: M.
H. A. to the many Jewish young men
who are leaving ST. Louis to do their

We strongly resent the idea that
Jewish men must fight as a separate
unit in order to prove that the Jew is
a patriot Courage, cowardice and
creed are not related in the Jewish
case.
The formation of Jews into separ-
ate bodies is either a sign of preju-

ness Of those within. Both are evils.
Neither should be tolerated.
Jewish valor, like true courage any,
where, is in the individual and in the
cause for which he fights.
Give the Jewish man a lofty cause
and worthy country, and there is then
no need of putting him into separ-
ate group to bring out the fullest mea-
sure of his patriotic fealty, allegiance
and devotion.
Jewish valor is effectually estab-
lished by its many living examples
and its silent heroes in the seas and in
the graves and trenches that mark

Cities viii Surpdss Her

Vital human interest surged in Ham
mond's Red Cross campaign on the
second day OF popular subscription
when messages were received from
Boston this afternoon telling that the
first blood had been given by local
recruit for the cause of liberty.
1t caused a mother to be tearfully
proud and the stay-at-homes to vow
they too, would make sacrifices.
Charles Miller of 20 Gordon street.
West Hammond, is in an army hospital
He volunteered TO give his blood that
an injured sailor boy might live. Sur
geons took a pint and a half of the
rfe-siving fluid from Miller and In
jected It into the sailor, dying from
loss of Blood, whose arm had been torn
off in a collision between submarine
destroyers IN Boston harbor. other
recruits will allow surgeons to graft
skin from their bodies to that of the
sailor.
While not an act Of battle 1t was a
deed of heroism and indicated the will
lingness of the hundreds of Hammond d
boys, now in training and preparing
for service in France, to lay down their
lives for their country.
Can the folks at home do less than
give literally to the Rerd Cross?
An Appeal to the Women.
The women of Hammond will have
to help If the Red Cross campaign this
week is to be all that ii should. 1t
was announced today that at 1880 to-
morrow morning girls and women who
care to assist will be instructed by
Chairman A. NJ Turner and other
workers at a meeting in the Chamber
~sr1~ 20
urged to attend this meeting. They
can be of great service the remaining
days of the campaign
In the neighborhood of $4,000 had
been subscribed at 2 O'Clock this af-
ternoon following noon talks by Judge
Reiter at the Betz and Reid-Murdoch
plants and soliciting in all parts OF
town.
Hammond MUST win" said Chair
man A NJ. Turner of the Red Cross
war fund committee this morning.
There are no two ways about 1t. I
wish could impress upon every man,
woman and child in Hammond and vi
cinity the absolute seriousness of this
proposition. I say Hammond must win
not only on account of her duty to the
country and to the Red Cross. but be-
cause IL Hammond did fall down in this
campaign, 1T would virtually mean that
we are falling or refusing TO support
the hundreds OF young boys who have
enlisted and the many more that will
go to the front within the next few
months"
From present indications Indiana
will more than live up to her reputation
as the home Of genuine dyed-inwool
patriotism. Reports received at the
Red Cross state headquarters up to
noon Tuesday were most encouraging g
and IL all counties and cities not heard
from will do their share the state will
