THE DAY WAS HOT
 AND THE LEANS WON

In the ball game, Sunday, the Leans" proved better runners than the Fats" and ran off with the game, scoring 21 hits while their weightier oppon- ,ents secured lots of the pretty round 0's. However, thanks to Scotty's able assistance, the fats did succeed in crossing the plate eight times during the afternoon. Scotty probably will qualify for the other team, hereafter, unless his record for catching flies in center causes some big league to grab him be- fore another game. The lineup was as follows:
 Leans
 Catcher, Sweeney
 Pitcher. Conway

 End B., Harry McDougal
 3rd B., Wilson

THE DIVINE SARAH AND
SHYLOCK.

It was an inspiring thought that
came to us when the curtain rose
on the Sarah Bernhardt perform
ance, given in Minneapolis for the
benefit of the blinded French vic
tins of the war. 1t was the thought
of the two great republics, France
and the United States, clasping
hands in mutual sympathy, friend
ship and helpfulness, and the di-
vine Sarah, daughter of Israel,
speaking words of benediction upon
the alliance. There came vision be-
fore Our eyes of the geniuses of Is
rael, France and America acting in
blessed cooperation, to save the
world from it's present chaos. We
rejoiced in the Divine Sarah's COM
ing here, and we felt proud of her.
But when we saw her enact the
trial scene of The Merchant of Ven
ice, and saw the poor Jew made the
butt of his Christian tormentors'
jibes, the vision vanished. We could
no longer think of Sarah as one of
our own, and we wished we had
been spared the spectacle altogether

HEINRICH GRAETZ.

The cultured Jewry of the world
this week has brought an important
centenary, that of the birth of Helm
rich Graetz, the great Jewish his
torian. Graetz has established his
place among the immortals of Is
rael No one before him, and no
one since, has been able to equal his
performance in our literature-a
complete and detailed history of
our people, from the beginning to
his own time, presented and written
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-11-02
THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

in manner that makes it one of
the most popular books in a Jews
library.
And yet, Graetz is by no means
the greatest historian we have had
in modern times. His work from
the critical point of view, is far
from perfect. It is particularly de-
fective in its treatment of the earl
lest and latest periods of our his
tory. In his treatment of both,
Graetz manifests a bias unworthy
of careful historian.
With all its defects, however, his
history will remain a Jewish clas-
sic, for it is the work of one who
was more than a historian, who
was lover of his people, his peo-
pies life and achievements; one who
was true and loyal son of Israel.
To him, Israel's history is a won
derful romance, and Israel a hero
to be admired, pitied, consoled and
cheered. He minces no words
when speaking of his hero's persecu-
tors and tormentors, even though
they be his own German fellow-citi-
zens. In Graetz's day it required a
great deal of courage to write the
history of the Jews in Germany, as
he did, to lash both church and state
as he did. Graetz had the courage
1t was inspired by his love for his
people. And his people will always
consider him one of it's bravest and
noblest sons.

THE IRISH AND THE JEWS.

THE IRISH AND THE JEWS.
Edna Ferber has written new
serial for the American Magazine,
and in the installment printed in
the July issue one character says:
"You can't take people and
persecute them for thousands of
years, bounding them from place
to place, herding them in dark and
filthy streets, without leaving
some sort Of brand on them, a
mark that differentiates. Some
times it doesn't show outwardly,
but it's there, inside. You know,
Fanny, how it's always been said
that no artist can become genius
until he has suffered. You've suf-
fered, you Jews, for centuries and
centuries, until you're all artists
quick to see drama because you
have lived it, emotional, oversen-
sitive, cringing or staggering,
high strung, demonstrative, affec-
tionate, generous. I'll tell you,
Fanny, what I've always said: the
Irish would be the grandest people
in the world-if it weren't for the
Jews"

and lasting grief. And to how many
more it means great and permanent
loss.
If success is to be measured by
self advertisement, Helen Bechhoe-
fer was unsuited to success. She mel
Their sought nor achieved publicity.
But if success is rather to be meas
ured by the depth and strength of
emanating spiritual currents, then it
was hers in an unusual degree.
Out of the untimely wreck of her
frail human form rises the unique
spiritual strength of Mrs. Bechhoe-
fer. Her being breathed benevolence
as a rose radiates fragrance. This
was the keynote of her life. She
spoke i'll of no one, she did harm
to none, she seemed incapable of an
iH-willed thought. Her generous
sympathy seemed to flow freely, in
exhaustibly, almost unconsciously.
It was without price and demanded
no return. It burned within her to
warm and to tighten her family, her
friends, her people. Too strong the
flame and too soon consumed the
willing sacrifice.
Her benevolence was not satisfied
with remaining an emotion or re-
straining wrongful impulse. 1t bore
fruit in innumerably kindly deeds.
It perpetuated itself by scattering
it's seeds in prodigal profusion
broadcast. The real harvest will be
reaped in an endless reproduction of
that unusual purity and generosity
of soul in an ever widening circle.
Helen Bechhoefer, living be-
trothed unto herself all who knew
her in kindness, in charity, in low
ing mercy, in well-wishing and in
well-doing. Such unions are not dis
solved by mere death.

The above is taken from Unity"

of Chicago. A Jewish contempor-
airy of ours gives this quotation the
heading of GOOD Sense" thus show
ing where its sympathies lie. We
know that Rev. Jones, broad-minded
as he is, has only the kindliest feel
ings for the Jewish people. Speaking
of us as an international race" is
surely meant by him as compli-
ment And yet that is one of the
charges against us that the anti
Semites carry as their stock in trade.
They doubt our allegiance to any
one nation, because we are an inter-
national race, controlling interna-
tional finance, international journal
ism and what not It is, therefore,
doubtful compliment on the part of
Rev. Jones to call us an internation-
al race.
Nor can our anti-Zionist friends,
who consider these observations of
Mr.. Jones' as GOOD Sense" really
approve of the appellation, he gives
us, if they are consistent in their
own ideas. They tell us that the
Jews of Germany are nothing but
Germans, and the Jews of France,
nothing but French, and the Jews
of Turkey, nothing but Turks. If
so, how can we speak of ourselves
as an international race? Is it not
more correct, according to their phil
osophy, to call ourselves a pluri-
national race?
But the main contention of Mr..
Jones is, in our humble opinion, un-
sound. "The cause of International
ism cries out against the national
ization of this one international
race" he laments But what is the
cause of internationalism? Interna-
tional amity, peace and cooperation,
but not the disappearance of individ-
ual nationalities, the leveling of all
national distinctions, the submerg-
ence of each distinctive national SOUL
Jews as an international race, what
ever that may mean, have nothing
to offer to the world. Jews as dis
tinct nationality, in habitat of their
own, may yet make rich contribu
ton to the civilization of the future,
even as they did to that of the past.

like someone who didn't know how,
trying to play the slide trombone. She
was simply deaf, it seemed, to the

to be brute about it. He began ev-

that would have done credit to a kim

each more ominously gentle than the
last, his temper would suddenly fly all
to pieces.
The girl, queerly, didn't seem to
care. But in the dressing room one
night, after one of these rehearsals,
Rose got different view. AS she sat
down on q bench TO unlace her shoes,
she looked straight into Edna Lar
sons face-a face sunken with a
despair that turned Rose cold. The
fearless, tragic eyes were staring,
without recognition, straight into
Roses own.
Rose delayed her dressing till the
other girls were gone, then sat down
beside Edna.

very inadequate. "Im going to help
you."
''It's always like this" the girl said.

"Not if I can help it," Rose said.
'But the first thing to do Is to come
along and get something to eat"
During the next hour Rose learned,
| for the first time, what the weight of
an immense melancholy inertia can be.
The girl was like one paralyzed-
paralyzed by repeated failures and
| disasters, of which she told Rose
freely. When Galbraith had put her
into the sextette, hope, just about
dead, had been reawakened. She'd
learned to dance well enough to es-
cape censure, and she'd seen for her
self how indispensable her singing
voice was to the sextette. And then

table In a dingy little lunch room.)
You're going to say your lines before
tomorrow's rehearsal so that Galbraith
won't stop you once. We're going to
my room now, and I'm going to teach
you. Come along"
In a sort Of daze, the girl went.
Rose put her into chair, sat down
opposite her, took the first phrase of
her first speech, and said 1t very SLOW

"Can you dancer"
"Yes," said Rose.
He said he supposed ballroom dane
ing was what she meant, whereupon
she told him she was a pretty good
ballroom dancer, but that it was gym
nastic dancing she had in mind.
"All right" he said. "See IL you
can do this. Watch me, and then
initiate me exactly"
In the intensity of her absorption
In his questions and her own answers
to them, she had never given a thought
to the bystanders. But now as they
fell back to give him room, she swept
q glance across their faces. They all
wore smiles of sorts. There was some
thing amusing about this-something
out Of the regular routine. A little
knot of chorus girls halted in the act
of going out the wide doors, and stood
watching. Was it just hoax? The
suppressed, unnatural silence sounded
like 1t. But at what John Galbraith
did, one of the bystnnders guffawed
outright.
1t wasn't pretty, the dance step he
executed--a sort of stiff-legged skip
accompanied by vulgar hip wriggle
and concluding with a straight-out
sidewise kick. A sick disgust clutched
at Rose as she watched-an utter re-
vulsion from the whole loathly bust
ness.
"Well?" he asked, turning to her as
he finished. He wasn't smiling at all
"Im not dressed to do that" she
said.
81 know you're not" he admitted
coolly; "but it can be done. Pick up
your skirts and do it as you are-if
you really want q job"
There was just faint edge of con-
tempt in that last phrase and, merci-
fully, it reused her anger. A blaze
kindled in her blue eyes, and two spots
of vivid color defined themselves in
her cheeks.
She caught up her skirts as he had
told her to do, executed without com
promise the stiff-legged skip and the
wriggle, and finished with a horizon.

RAILROADS REPORT BIG
FREIGHT CAR INCREASE
Shortage Situation Declared Greatly
Relieved During the Quarter
Previous to August

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-Reports Just
received by the Railroads War Board show
that tho railroads of the country. in their
cooperative efforts 20 give to the country
the greatest possible amount Of freight
service, have effected an extraordinary
improvement in freight car supply.
These reports show that tho excess Of
untitled car acquisitions over idle cars, or
what is ordinarily but inaccurately termed
car shortage was only one-fourth as great
as August I. 1917 as on May I, 1917.
The excess OF untitled car acquisitions on
May I was 1Is,627; on June I 1t was
l066ia; on July II was 1852. and on
August 1 1t had been reduced to 33,776
This result has been accomplished at a
time when the railroads are supplying from
fifteen to twenty per cent more freight
service with the same number of ears than
was being given this time last year. for
the railroads handled IN July a tremendous
increase in both Government and CONNER
cal traffic
The movement of cantonment supplies
alone occupied the fun service OF more than
0.O0O cars. There was also an extra
ordinarily heavy demand for cars to trans
port food products, as well as materials
to and from munition factories.
