DRAFTED MEN ID
 BE REMAINED
Men Rejected for Physical Disability Recalled for
 Second Examination

Adj Gen. c. J. Hubbard has ordered the re-examination of all men who have been discharged from the select i've draft for physical disabilities, and they will be called before the local boards at once for their second exam nation.
 The order to this effect applies to every case of discharge on account of physical disability, with the exception of those where the district board has passed on the case and allowed the dis charge to stand.
 The letter of General Hubbard states that the changes being made are due to the variations of men exempt on account of physical disabilities, and that this has caused many changes in the regulations.
 Bhe letter from General Hubbard follows
 Reports received from the yari- ous local boards indicate that there has been a great lack of uniformity in the physical examinations of men called before them. In many of the counties the percentage of men dis charged on account of physical disa- bility is entirely too high, and is out of line with all averages. The physical examinations at different periods of the selection by board in the same county vary very widely in many in stances. These variations have been caused by the several notifications made from time to time in the regula- tions pertaining to physical examina- ton, and also from the intention of some boards to select men for service who are physically perfect.
 Tn view of this great lack of uni formity, I have been directed to re- quest you to revoke all discharges on account of physical disability, except such as have been heard on appeal by the district board, and to recall and re-examine all persons discharged on account of physical disability, except such as were passed upon by the dis trict board on appeal. This should be done immediately, and the examina- tion should be conducted in accordance with the modified regulations and in every case of doubt the government should be given the benefit of the doubt. That is to say, if you are un- dpAS bO uSLtAS W WlGlltSI d Ildn IS or Is not physically fit then you should hold him for service and he will re- ceive final physical examination when he is sent to mobilization camp. If you hold man for service on account of physical disability, then this would reopen the case, and he would be entitled to file a claim of exemption and the whole case would be conducted exactly as if he had been fOI1nn nbBEiO11lxr in ba f,, stance. It is not the purpose, however, that men who are patently unfit for service should have their discharges revoked and re-examined. There are many cases where it is fully known that man is unfit and this is not the class of cases it is intended to have re-examined."

MUST NOT FAIL.-M,ADOO

Toledo. O., October 1.-Speaking to sev-
 eral thousand citizens in Memorial hall
 here tonight in opening the lib erty loan
 campaign in this district, Secretary Me
 Adoo declared that the failure of a sim gle issue of government bonds would De worse for America than a disaster upon the field of battle
 We must never let that happen lie said.
 Asserting that i've must make the | second liberty loan a success he said:
 "A few days ago I read the following manifesto issued in Berlin by the League of German Municipalities: If money talks, the President of the United States may learn by October F.
 when the subscription fists close that the echo of the new war fund given b4
 the German people will have drowned out completely the elamor of intending pros tests which his reply to the pope has given stimulus
 Let us meet that challenge by sub scription to our second liberty loan on the 27th day of October, nine days after the close of the German loan, which will make clear to the German military des- potsm that America. marshals not alone her brave soldiers upon the field, her in-
 vincibe navy upon the high seas, her
 industries throughout the length and
 breadth of this land but as well her
 financial resources, and that she is de-
 termined to use them all without stint
 and regardless of sacrifice to vindcate
 American rights, outraged too frequen ly by German infamies.
 Let us answer this challenger by mal1- ing clear to the world that the American people with transcendent love of justice
 and of country, stand solidly behind their great President and support unequiv- ocally the purpose of this war

forces become. owing 10 the improved mechanical means of the allies and tho perfection of their methods of combat. that the Germans are obliged to main tain in reserve as minimum guaran- tee for the safety of their battle line in the west, at least 70 divisions. The west ern front thus remains the principal battle frpnt of the war Is is still strongly held by the enemy and his de- fensive strength, while shaken. remains powerful"
 The situation on the other fronts is dismissed with brief review of recent official dispatches. The only mention of American forces is as follows:
 NATIONAL GUARD
 "The mobilization of the national guard In their camps is proceeding rap idly and the formation of reorganized divisions is taking place. Ths reorgsni- zation IS necessitated by the conditions of the present war. and requires larger regiments and certain machine gun and other units not typical heretofore. some misunderstanding of the reorganization has arisen, but it's purpose and military necessity are being explained, and the division commanders are doing their ute most to preserve the local associations and historic memories of these state forces.
 NATIONAL ARMY "The assembling Of the national army in the cantonments has gone on with l smoothness and success. Equipment difficulties are not serious and are being rapidly overcome. The most obvious shortage is in rifles, but an adequate supply for all purposes will soon be at | hand and no delay in training results from the shortage. All overseas forces are of course adequately supplied"

 He spoke of Dr. Barrett's record as mayor of East lake and then said: You can only judge a mans future by his past.
 "Dr. Barrett seems to be grabbing at straws. pr. Barrett rather seems to take exception to my statement that he would make a good Sunday school superintendent.

THE EVOLUTION OF A lew
ISH FAMILY.

When a man like Mr.. Jacob H.
Schiff celebrates his 10th anniver-
sary, which took place the 10th of
this month, it is but natural that his
fellow Jews in this country should
give the matter some attention. For
Mr.. Schiff is one of the most prom
inent Jewish figures in this country.
1t may be said that Mr.. Schiff has
played in this country the part that
certain members of the Rothschild
family have played in European
lands. He is not only the leading
Jewish fnancier, but also the best
known Jewish philanthropist of this
country.
And so, indeed, we find the Jew
ish press editorializing on Mr..
Schif and his benevolent and sue
cessful career. His host of friends
and admirers have probably ar
ranged for various events to signal
ize his anniversary, and we expect
to hear of some handsome gifts from
Mr.. Schiff to various institutions and
organizations as thankofering on
the day of his joy.
What interests us in this whole
matter, however, is to trace through

grand opera is generally associated
with everything that is aristocratic
and extravagant. When a city is
favored with grand opera produc-
ton, it is generally intended only
for the rich who can afford to pay the
high prices Of admission, common
surate with the high salaries of the
great artists.
The managers of the Metropolitan,
however, have shown that such need
not always be the case. The San
Carlo Opera Co. consists Of num-
Der of artists who are able to satisfy
the demands Of the most exacting
musical critics; yet the prices of ad-
mission to their performances are
within the reach of people of moder-
ate means We have seldom seen
an array OF artists who combine
musical and histrionic ability Of such
a high degree as do the members of
this company. To attend such a
grand opera production is to spend
an evening of delight, indeed.

TIE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.

Our friends, the evangelical min
listers, are again at it, They have
again passed resolutions to urge the
present Minnesota legislature to pass
law permitting the public school
authorities to introduce Bible read
ing into our schools. That the at
torney general of the state has many
times ruled against it as unconsti-
tutional does not trouble them. Why
should the constitution stand in the
way of their pet hobby? That there
are large elements of the tax-paying
population who are conscientiously
and for various reasons opposed to
it, does not concern them either.
They only preach Christian charity.
Let others practise it. Let us re-
strain Our Indignation. In former
ages they actually made people suf-
fer for not believing as they did.
Their present desire to ram the BIZ
bic down into unwilling threats is
comparatively speaking mild
But even in that they will not sue
coed. It should not be difficult to
convince the legislature of the folly
and the danger of it. We Jews do
not value our Bible less than they
do but we value freedom of con-
science and liberty more.
