No, dear Corinne, we cannot afford
to encourage budding poetic genius
es in our community by publishing
their verses. In the first place con-
slider the high cost of paper. In the
second place remember that our life
is not sufficiently insured to enable
our dear ones to live in comfort if
some enraged reader should decide
to terminate our career on earth.
And in the third place, why should
not our geniuses send their produc-
tons to the literary magazines that
specialize on real art?

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLl

Mr.. Schiff the evolution of a Jewish
family, an evolution that we may
consider typical of our later history.
We have it on the authority of Prof.
Gotthard Deutsch that Mr.. Schiff's
family by the same name may be
traced back to the year 1000. The
family then lived in the Frankfort
ghetto, which continued to be it's
home until young Jacob left it to
seek his fortune in the New World.
For many generations the members
of the family distinguished them
selves for their rabbinic erudition
and their piety. The most noted of
those old-time Schiffs is the famous
rabbinic authority known as NAH
ram Schiff, the author of ingenious
annotations to the Talmud, who died
about the middle of the 18th century.
AS carly as the beginning of the
18th century we hear of a member
Of the family, an ancestor of Mr..
Jacob Schih, as being very rich and
very generous. 1t would seem that
ever since that time the family
became better known for it's financial
standing and it's benevolences than
for it's scholarship. In that respect
Mr.. Jacob H. Schif is true son
of his more immediate ancestry. Tho
living in new country and new
age, and under conditions totally diff
ferent from those of the Frankfort
ghetto, he has carried on the family
tradition, even in the matter of piety.
1t may not be generally known that
Mr.. Schiff, tho officially connected
with, and a warm supporter of the
liberal synagogue, shows at all times
strong leanings toward orthodox
Judaism, to whose institutions he is
a generous contributor
In the course of time Mr.. Schiff
will leave his name and the greater
part of his fortune to his son, Mr..
Mortimer Schiff. Whether he, too,
will carry on the tradition of the
family is doubtful. He is a native
son of America His interests are
probably altogether different from
those of his father. He is probably
interested more in American club
life, American sports, such as golf
ing, yachting, and so forth, than in
synagogues and rabbinica1 seminar
les. Not that he may not be as good
a citizen as his father and as loyal
Jew. But he certainly is a Jew of
a different type, the new type that
America is deNelOninq

DRAF 7 TROOPS
BY SEPTEMBER |
New National Army Of CSC, 900
+; May Not Be in Camp Beofre
T.. Middle Of October a-., ~.
NO SPECIFIC TIME
.~1 SET FOR MOBILIZATION

Washington, June 18.-Un;ess there
are unforeseen developments to hurry
construction of the 16 cantonments for
training the new national army, the
first increment of $4,000 troops will
not be in training by September 1, as
generally has been supposed, and in
fact may not be in training for six
weeks thereafter. The war depart
ment said today that no specific date
had been set for the opening of the
camp. Secretary Baker, in a letter
referring to the need Of men for the
harvest, recently spoke of September
as the probable date for opening,
and pointed out that most of the har-
vesting would be over by that time.
War department officials had gen.
orally fixed September 1 in their
minds as the time training would be-
gin. The first unit of officers for the
army now being trained in camps, Is
being turned out in August to make
room for the next body. This was
arranged on the plan of having the
draft complete and troops in camp by
September 4.

ROOT I COMMISSION
INSPECT PALACE

Petrograd, June 1S.-The members
of the Root commission attended a
service in the imperial chapel in the
winter palace today and later toured
the building, much of which is now
being used for a military hospital:
Mr.. Root and his associates talked
with wounded soldiers and nurses oc-
.cupying the great banquet halls and
drawing rooms of the palace. They
inspected the paintings and sculp-
lures of the imperial gallery, passing
hundreds of peasants, who were be-
ing shown through the palace, hither-
to closed to the public. The extreme
democracy and orderliness of the Rus
SLAMS was shown by the utter lack OF
precaution to guard the art treasures
of the palace.
Rear Admiral Glennon and his aides
will leave Petrograd for Sebastopol,
accompanied by Russian officers, to
visit the Black Sea fleet.

of fighting planes would be required,
and these can only be procured by
withdrawing them from the French
front, where every plane is now ned
ed to maintain the supremacy in the
air recently won by the Allies.
The second great advantage OF Ger
many lies in the fact that it is very
much farther from any of the Allies
flying bases to any vital spot in Ger
many than from the German flying
bases to London and other big Eng.
lish cities.
This doesn't sound reasonable-it
seems it ought to be as far in one d.
rection as it is in the other-but look
at the map and you will see why it
is true, and realize what an enormous
advantage this gives Germany.
The German airplanes start their
raids from bases on the Belgian coast,
principally Ostend and Zeebrugge. 1t
is only $50 miles from Ostend to Lon.
don; the round trip is an easy flight
of two to three hours.
OF course, it is only 1870 miles from
London to the Belgian coast, and
Great Britain has any number Of ma
chimes capable of making retaliatory
raids at this distance. But what Is
the use? The scattered German fly
ing and submarine bases could not be
dangerously damaged except by con-
centrated campaign on the most i'm
portant. And there is nothing else
in Belgium worth raiding.

Washington, June 1S.-The obJec'
of the German air raids just made
over England is to destroy the aerial
supremacy of Great Britain and
France on the western front, by fore
ing a large number of the British

front to protect English cities. Such
at least, is the opinion of military
authorities here.
1t is admitted that in this plan all
the advantage lies with the Germans.

COURT DECLARES HIM AS
GUILTY AS REDENBAUGH

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 1S.-Frank
J. McCool today was sentenced to 30
years in prison, having been convicted
of third degree murder in connection
with the death of Patrolman Connery
Of Minneapolis.
McCool's attorney asked for clem-
ency for his client.
"The jury found the defendant guilty
of the lowest degree of murder pos
sible under the law" he said, thus
proving they believed him only partly
guilty"
Judge Hale denied the request.
"This court" he said, has no hesi-
tation in saying that he feels this
defendant was equally guilty with Red
enbaugh in the murder. 1t was a cold
'blooded murder, which came as the
elimination Of plan to kidnap Con-
merry and put him out of the way.
This prisoner was fortunate to ap.
pear before jury that would lessen
the degree Of murder charge.

Petrograd, via London, June 18.--
The duma in secret session has passed
a resolution for an immediate offen-
sive by the Russian troops.
The resolution declares separate
peace with Germany or prolonged in
activity on the battle front to be ig-
noble treason toward Russia's allies.
The announcement last week that
the cabinet had decided to suggest a
conference of the entente allies for ex-
animation of treaties was followed to-
day by the publication Of the note
sent to the other governments in ques.
tion. This note suggests conference
to revise the agreements existing
among the allies as to war aims, with
the exception of the London agree
ment which provides that none of the
signatory powers shall conclude sep
arate peace.
Only Minor Battles.
Little beyond the artillery engage
ments is taking place on any Of the
various fronts. On the front in
France held by the British, aside from
the artillery duels, there have been
only minor operations in the nature of
raids and a continuation of aerial &C.
tivity.
Near Hurtebise the Germans in a
night attack seized portions Of
trenches held by the French, but later
were forced to give back most Of
them in counter attack Considerable
activity continues in Belgium in the
regions of Steenstrate and Het Sas.
Allies Capture Towns.
In Macedonia the artillery duels
that have been in progress for several
weeks are still going on, but the ex-
pected infantry attacks have not de-
veloped. Meanwhile the entente forces
continue to throw their troops into

towns having been accomplished with.

BLAMED FOR TROUBLE; !;

Madrid, June 18.-A movement for
a radical rebuilding of the whole po-
litical edifice in Spain is gaining ad'
herence everywhere. Discomfort with
existing methods has long been gen.
eral among the liberals. Internal and
external difficulties arising from the
war have served to heighten and in
creased it and it has gained among
the other parties. Even former Pre-
mier Maura, leader of the conserva-
tives, agrees that there is ground for
dissatisfaction.
Senor Romeo, editor of the Core
spondencia de Espana, summed up the
general aggreviance in forcible arti.
Gle recently. He wrote:
"The whole OF Spain, with the ex-
ception Of a thousand families who
monopolize the sweets of Office, is sick
to death of the favoritism which con-
demns the country to external stag
nation and is only waiting for the
signal to rise like one man and do
away with it forever. Favoritism is
the canker which is killing Spain and
will put an end to her unless we put
an end to it, -,
At Cordova a number of prominent
men, including engineers, university
professors, manufacturers, workmen
and priests, have published mani
festo, demanding new political sys-
tenn, totally different from that hither-
to existing and the formation Of de-
fense committees throughout the
country.
