BASE BALL.

1t looks as if we have a real ball
team. The athletes bearing our label
beat the Lutz All-Stars 4 to 3 at Mil
waukee last Sunday. Herzogs claim
that he has the strongest team that
ever represented the city may not be
literally true but he has grounds for
Boosting. Schulze on the mound and
Chief Williams the aborigine second
baseman were as brilliant lights as any
of the All-Stars. Schulze held the OPP.
position to six hits and Williams WELD
ed his war club for four safe hits.
Dunbar and Wegner both deserve
mention for work in the field. From
the first to the fifth the score was l to
0 in Manitowoc's favor. In the fifth
the Stars tied it. In the seventh our
crowd added one and in the eighth two,
making it to /. In the final frame
the Milwaukees made vicious on
slaught that netted two runs making
it Manitowoc 4, All Stars 3, at the I'm
ish. Sheboygan and the Koscuiskos
both won again.

to do it. There is no other course.
| do not see how the American
government could wisely and hon
orably have done otherwise than
she is now doing. Let us do all we
can for our cause in this war in
hope that this war itself with it's
terrific cost will be true harbinger
of peace-of lasting peace, a peace
that Christianity in it's nineteen
hundred years of 'Peace on earth,
good will toward men" has failed
to produce. What a mockery this
war among "Christian" nations is
of the words of Jesus "Love thy
neighbor as myself" Yet "Chris-
tan" preachers in these "Chris-
tian'' countries still preach the
words of Jesus to men who go
forth to slaughter in the name of
Jesus, carrying intense hatred in
their breasts. No wonder l fail to
understand the Christian church
and fail to grasp the Christian
charity"
We are going to fight for justice,
for fair play among nations as
among individuals, for democracy
but not for the de facto Christian
church. Thank heaven! It never
practiced what it processes to
preach and certainly does not now.
l feel angered for 1 have just heard
the camp chaplain tell the men
they were going forth to fight for
the Christian church; and have
no doubt but that the German
preacher tells his savage-akin flock
the identical thing.
But l must cease my rambling.
This must be tiresome to you; [
have gotten off the subject; and
above all | am out of writing pa
per. One more remark, however:
as Jews it seems to me we should
fight for the cause because our
victory means the establishment
Of Zion. There is little doubt in
my mind but that when the terms
Of peace are drawn provision will
be made for a Jewish state in
Palestine, that is Of course, if our
cause dictates the terms.

Of military supplies are accumulat-
ed, since Ras ell Ain is the terminus
of the construction of the Bagdad
Railway. Preparations have been
made for defense here, should it
become necessary. This is the point
where the Russian army will strike,
if it gets down to Bitlis, through
Diarbekir.
Jerusalem and ArmageddOn.
Of even greater interest, from
the religious standpoint, than the
military operations in the regions
of Abraham's early home, and of
the exile and captivity of the Chill
dren of Israel, is the progress of
the British expedition up from Suez
and the Sinai Peninsula. Very lit
tie about this has got into print. A
recent dispatch reported the troops
as being at Hebron, where Abra-
ham and Isaac and Jacob are
buried, in the Cave of Macphelah.
This spot is a sacred Moslem
shrine.
Evidently the British have not
only driven the Turks from the en-
tire Peninsula, but they have also
captured the railroad of the new
line built down through the Holy
Land by the Germans, after the
war began. Ell Arish, the border
town between Egypt and Syria, fell
to the British some time ago. Now,
if they are at Hebron, it will be but
matter of days until Jerusalem
falls into their hands-indeed, the
capture of the city of David may
have been reported before this ar
ticle can be printed. The old Jebu-
site fortress, which has stood so
many and romantic sieges, is
scarcely in position to hold out
against a modern attack; although
it is doubtful if the British would
attack it with artillery, because of
the holy places.
Should the British Suez army
push northward, to effect a juno
ton with the forces from Bagdad,
nothing would be ljklier than a
landing of reinforcements at Haifa,
and battle with the Turks on Is
raels historic battle-ground, the
Plain of Esdraeldom, perhaps in

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM ONE OF OUR YOUNG
MEN WHO HAS ENLISTED.

l am becoming accustomed to
barrack life. l eat everything
dished up just as do the other SOL
diers and sleep like log on a
mattress without cover. My
mattress cover was dirty, so | sent
it to the laundry and on account OF
the shortage l have not been able
to get another IN the meantime. |
go thru a ten mile hike without
fatigue and a hike for a soldier
means going over all sorts of roads
and fields, and wading thru water
up to ones neck occasionally, for
we must ford all streams that lie
in our path and then march in wet
clothes for the remainder of the
day. I have even joined base
ball team. Delightful soldier life
At any rate we must take it to be
such for it won't do any good to
take it otherwise. And, am so
doing. Indeed, I feel like going
back to my childhood days,-the
sans souci days that had long gone
by for me.
But a herald calls to duty.
These days will not last long. We
shall soon have to do the gruesome
deeds of warfare hateful war. Oh,
how l hate it! The most extreme
pacifist does not hate war more
than l do-the heastly war.
Yet I shall go and will be found
in the front rani 5, for l shall go in
deep trust that by downing the
German autocrat with his terror
ism we shall no longer be plagued
by immense wars of royalty, of ag-
grandizement. Germany has un-
dertaken to hold up the world. This
war, it appears to me, is to test
whether the remainder of the
world can infict it's will on any
one nation or groups of nations, in
other words, whether internation-
al arbitration is possible. If we
win out (and I certainly trust we
shalD international arbitration
should follow. If we lose (and 1
can hardly conceive the possibility
of that) it means that this war will
be but forerunner Of more war,
for democracy will never give up.
A peace by which German autocra-
cy is not entirely wiped out will
be but lull in a long enduring
struggle. The present war to my
mind will decide whether democrat
cy will continue it's onward march
thru a federation of nations or will
get setback that it will take a
long time to overcome.
