MORE PRO-GERMAN GOSSIP

The chrome trouble. akers-and they
are pro-German whether they know IT
or not-have been circulating stories to
tho effect that the anti-typhoid serum
used by the government to inoculate re
eruits Is causing many deaths. Like
the preceding propaganda. this report
went the rounds in a number of com
Inunities at the same time. There was
no definite origin, yet in every case n
local man was said To be the latest vic
tim OF the deadly serum. And 1t was
said that the government was covering
up the facts TO "avoid criticism"
This latest Teuton lie has been knock
ed In the head as previous lies have
been. But. while il lasted, it added its
little portion Of confusion and distrust
to the minds OF gullible persons who
can't or don't do any thinking for them
selves
The anti-typhoid serum is doing the
work for which II was intended. The
health record of the training camps Is
one of which every American may well
be proud. The individuals to whom such
stories come have only to look over the
list of their own acquaintances at the
various cantonments. The boys felt
pretty bum" during the period when
the inoculations were given. And they
felt decidedly homesick for day or two
after being shot" with the serum. How
about them now? Aren't most of them
in better physical condition than ever
before? Aren't they thriving on army
grub" and the strenuous life? And
those boys the individuals know about
are typical of all the rest of them. Isn't
Il about time Americans quit falling for
pro-German propaganda that sneaks
about in the form OF idle and harmful
gossip?

Mr. Pollen goes even further. lie says
that. far from nullifying German naval

1T Is THE FRENCHMAN's YARD

American soldiers in Europe are going
to encounter a lot of difficulties that
have nothing to do with the shells and
bayonets of the front. Those Difficult
ties viii be due to the differences In
temperament of the American and his
brothers in arms. the British and French
soldiers.
Arthur Guy Empey. an American who
has been a machinegunner with the
British Army for more than a year,
and who is the author of over The
Top. one of the most popular war books
so far. gives some good advice to Ameri-
cans headed for France.
He says: The French are looking
to the Americans as the saviors of their
cause. and the Americans must be care.
full to preserve that sentiment. The
French are temperamental. If u French
man kisses an American soldier, the
American mustn't poke him in the chin;
he must kiss him back. And the French
are-the American must just remember
this-exceedingly polite. You must
never poke fun at a Frenchman; that
is mortal insult. And the American
must remember that the careful French
politeness does not mean that the
Frenchman is afraid Of anything in the
world. Why. Frenchman will apologize
TO a German when he sticks his bay
onet In him!
But. after all, the Americans are
going over there In the Frenchman's
backyard. They are fighting together
to keep common enemy from climbing
the back fence. But IL IS the French
mans yard And the American must
keep the paths, and not step on the
flower-beds."
The essential friendliness and good
will OF the American win pull him safe
ly through the embarrassments Of his
first days with the soldiers over there.
if-and this won't be hard for sammy
when he realizes how important it is
he gets busy right away TO cultivate
modesty and tao; and politeness. The
same lessons can be leearned with profit
by the American public right here at
home.

results of the two meetings, one a noon
luncheon at the st. Paul Hotel and the
other a mass meeting at the St. Paul
Auditorium, total about $4,000, making
the quota Of $5O,O0000 allotted to St.
Paul as it's share of the $10,000,OOO war
relief fund within comparatively easy
reach.
A luncheon for DR.. Magnes was ar
ranged at the St. Paul Hotel Wednes-
day, May 9th Dr. l. L. Rypins acted in
the capacity of master of ceremonies.
After the luncheon DR.. Rypins briefly
introduced Dr. Magnes to those present
consisting mostly Of business and pro-
fessional men and women. DR.. Magnes
spoke feelingly Of the tragic needs OF
100000 Jews in war-stricken Europe.
His appeal met with an immediate and
generous response. From a small gath
ering Of probably less than 50 people,
of whom the majority would not be
ordinarily considered wealthy, $12,5OO
was procured in a few minutes. This
showing was credit to the Jews Of St.
Paul and an indication that when the
need is known and appreciated, the
purse strings are easily loosened.
At the Auditorium.
A large and representative audience
of probably not less than 1900 people
greeted DR.. Magnes in the evening at
the St. Paul Auditorium. DR.. |. L. Ry-
pins acted as chairman. Among those
on the platform were Jacob Dittenhofer,
honorary chairman of the St. Paul Con-
solidated War Relief Fund, M. L. Fin
kelstein, chairman, A. Hirschman, Rab
bi A. H. Kahn, B. Wolfe and H. D.
Frankel, executive secretary. After be-
ing introduced by Dr. Rypins, DR.. Mag
mes spoke nearly an hour, describing
conditions as he saw them in European
countries During parts of his address
the pathos, the suffering and tragedy
were so poignantly pictured, that
large part of the audience was visibly
moved to tears. The audience listened
most attentively to a recital Of condi-
tions, which it is we'll that they are not
painted too wildly. At the close Of DR..
Magnes' address DR.. Rypins again took
charge of the meeting and solicited sub
scriptions. The response was general
and generous At times the reports
came so fast that it was difficult to keep
an accurate record.
