THAT OHIO PANTHER
is "eLIND TIGER"
SAYS CORRESPONDENT

Some one in whimsical humor
had the whole countryside temper
arily in the belief that panther
was prowling nightly through the
farms in western Preble county,
sometimes as close as four miles to
Richmond. It was a play on the
gullibility Of children. the stories
being circulated chiefly in the
schools, but even the men and wom-
en- paid interested attention and
heard wired and plaintive cries
from the dark woods at night.
"It was a blind tiger. not pan
ther,' a correspondent from New
Paris, said today. dispelling the
wild rumor. Predetermined per-
sons pointed out the absurdity of
the report of a panther escaping
scores of good hunters, who are
able to bag foxes, although they
are as scarce almost as the panther
and more shy and cunning.

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-04-06
April 6, 1917

Jews conception of God is God
of action, not an abstraction of meta
physics.
Man is made in Gods image and
each man is empowered to initiate
God. That is why the Jew has
never asked to save another, has
never clamored to save himself. The
Jew has the conviction that he is to
be the teacher of the human race.
1t is life we have to lead, not doc
trine to declare The Jew must be
an example to others that they may
rise to live in imitation of God
If you have not your God by your
side in your counting room, if He
is not with you and your family at
home, if He is not the inspiration
and motive of all your undertakings,
you will not find Him here in this
temple.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
WHY JEWS NEVER HIT
THE TRAIL.
BY DR.. Emil G. Hirsch.

Religion, like health, must be
without these eruptions of fever.
No Jew has ever been urged by
priest or prophet to chit the trail"
because Judaism never taught there
was one narrow trail leading from
the corruption of earth to the conse-
Grafton of heaven.
The Jew is not Indifferent to the
fate of his fellowmen; his faith in
them is sublime. But Judaism is
not a religion of salvation. Not
this" trail, but every trail traversed

New York.-The Jewish League
Of American Patriots was organized
at conference Sunday afternoon in
the home of Samuel Untermyer, at
n-the-Hudson, under the
auspices Of the editors Of the Jewish
daily and weekly newspapers of New
York.
The purpose of the league, as set
forth by one Of it's officials, is to or
ganize the Jewish forces of the Unit
ed States in behalf of this country in
the war with Germany. One of the
earlier activities will be movement
to induce Jews to join the United

And they began to talk the matter
over in few words, as usual:
"Do you know what will tell
you, Shneyer?"

"For instance, Jew is not mere

shoulders, so to speak, and made off
with them.
AS out of an evil dream, they flew,
breathlessly wherever their legs
carried them, afraid to look around
lest they should be followed.
They ran and they ran, until they
were exhausted. They began to
slacken speed, and then stopped and
sat down. When they were seated,
they began to consider the situation,
to think over what had happened
to them. Three incidents stood out
before them: They had run away

A report from Basavilbasa, Ar
gentine, tells of the foundation lay
ing for a new synagogue. This will
be the second synagogue this little
city will possess. An interesting
phase of this further sign of Jewish
life in the colonies is the fact that
the majority of those concerned with
the establishment of this new con-
gregation are women.

by human steps in quest of higher
things leads to God. The Jew does
not pray for exemption from sin in
this world, for glory in the next,
but prays for victory-for the tri-
umph of justice over injustice, of
peace over bloody war.
We do not ask redemption from
sin because we do not believe sin
holds us in it's clutches, the speaker
remarked. We have not believed
that because Adam fell his descend
ants are stepped in the shame of a
dark and wilful act of disobedience
to God.

Christ, but of God Himself, and the

Probably the soldiers did not under
stand what was an1iss. They repeat
ed the command in such loud tones
that the words reverberated in the
hearts of the Jews. Said the elder
to the younger:
"Do you know what l will tell
you, Shneyer?
"What, for instance, Meyer"
"For instance, we must start eat
ing for our souls sake"
And they began to use their
spoons in good earnest. They swal-
lowed the hot porridge as if it were
the Lockshen one eats on the eve
of festival. They burned their lips
and their tongues and gobbled like
geese, forgetting that they were
only guests and that the porridge
was not Kosher
I am afraid they tasted in the por-
ridge flavor of the Garden of Eden,
for their haste in snatching and
swallowing it was abnormal. The
Cossacks began to regret their
goodness of heart. They began to
discuss the affair in their own Ian
guage.
"What do you say, Vaninsha, to
the way your Chayim is snatching?"
"No, Pavlinsha, you are mistak-
en-, it is your Itzka who is snatch
ing" .:
The two brothers took no notice
of anything, and used their spoons
so we'll that the like had never been
seen in the world before
"Vaninsha, tell your Chayim not
to snatch, for if I make a snatch at
him, the devil will snatch him
away"
Every we'll, Pavlinsha, you just
touch my Chayim, and I will make
a heap Of dust out of your Itzka."
Without thinking long over it,
Pavl1nsha tore the spoon out of the
hand of Vaninsha's Jew and gave
him dig in the ribs that made him
turn three somersaults.
Of course, this annoyed Vaninsha
very much. And he got up and gave
Pavlinsha's Jew blow in the teeth
that sent sparks flying before his
eyes.
Naturally, this fired Pavlinsha,
and he gave Vaninsha's Jew three
loud bangs in the face. Vaninsha
was in towering rage and Shrek
ed to Pavlinsha:
"For beating my Jew I will make
your lew black and blue"

It is usually supposed that the down
pour Of rain that sometimes follows
flash Of lightning is due to the conles-
cence Of fine drops on losing their cleo
trical charge, but a Finnish observer
concludes that the thunder Jars the
drops together. Near Vasa heavy
thunderstorm came up from the east
late one afternoon, and, as the sun
was unclouded, brilliant double rain
bow appeared in the east for half an
hour, arching from horizon to horizon.
At each roll Of thunder the ralnbows
seemed to be much shaken, the wedge

This could not be due to the lightning,
