The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1918-03-15

In the latter half of the nineteenth
century the whole world of art was at
tracted to the work of the Jewish sculp-
tor, Antokolski, through the interests of
the Russian art critic, Stassov. He was
the first Jewish artist who made def
mite and strong impression on the Jewish
youth of his time, and who Influenced
many of them to more certain artistic
activity AT that time there went to
Petrograd the young artist Ginsberg, to
study sculpture under Antokolski. Aaron
tson was attracted by the art schools OF
Paris, and Glitzenstein who studied in
the academy of Munich, soon distinguish
ed himself as the most talented pupil,
and, winning scholarship, went to Rome
to study sculpture. About the same time
there appeared the first Jewish painters.
Maurice Gotlieb, who died prematurely,
was the first talented characteristically
Jewish painter And soon after his ap-
pearance, toward the end of the nine
teenth century, there appeared Samuel
Hirshenberg painter of marked indl-
viduality, who in short time attained
to very personal style in his presenta-
ClOu OIL JEWISH Ill.,
AT the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury Hirshenberg's work became the
keynote of that period in the development
of Jewish painting, fbest described as
Sorrow and Woe" The artists of this
period, Trembatch, Pilichovski, Maimon
and others, consciously or unconsciously,
painted in the spirit and mood of Hirsh-
enberg and Gotlieb. This was going on
in Russia and in Poland. But in Western
Europe, where the Jewish artists achiev-
ed their technical training, where the
great Jewish painter, Israels, had painted
his well-known canvases of melancholy
and longing there this period OF "Sor-
row and Vice. did not last long. In it's
place there came the period inspired by
the ancient Jewish heroes.
Max Lieberman painted Samson and
Delilah," Jehuda Epstein "The Macca-
beans" and Glitzenstein made his statues
of the messiah" and Of the warlike
"Bar KochIba" In a similar manner Min

How Battle Line Runs
Struggle Apepars to Be Near.
ing End of First
.t Phase.

With the British Army in France.
Aug. IL (2:1G p.m.).-As nearly as
can be learned, the battle line from
north to south runs today near
Mericourt, Proyart. Rainecourt and
1ihons, which apparently is finally
secure In British hands after bitter
iighting: thence west of Chaulnes,
through or near Chaully. which has
changed hands twice; thence
through Fouqucscourt. Parvilers,
Damery. Andechy, L'Echclle. Ar
mancourt. Dancourt. Popincourt,
Roye- Matt Mareuil, Samson
and Aptoval. striking the old line
near Ribecourt.
The battle appears to be ap-
preaching the end of the first phase,
with the lines steadily hardening
! on the front, speaking generally,
that the Germans held when they
retired to the Hindcnburg line.
The assistance that has been rem
dered by the Americans in this
lighting has been comparatively
small but nevertheless important.
for they have captured and held
positions strongly defended by the
enemy at one of the most difficult
points In the line at time when
the German resistance here was
threatening to hold up the left flank
of the advance.

GERMANY CAST
INTO.DEEP GLOOM
Morale Of Army Suffers Severe
Blow by Continued Defeats
at Front.
MILITARY CRITICS DUMB
People Discover Hollowness of
Militarism Which Does Not
Win Battles.

London. Aug. l2.-Deep gloom and
depression have settled down over Ger
many as a result of the unbrokcn series
of allied victories on the western bat
tie front, said an Amsterdam dispatch
In the Daily Express today.
The German morale has suffered a
severe blow from the German defeats
While the military critics remain
dumb, the suggestion is becoming more
and more widespread among the Ger
man people that the army will have to
fall back n long ways.
"They (the German people) are dis
covering the hollowness of militarism,
which does not win battles" said the
dispatch.
People knowing Germany say that un
less n Leadership of the soul" Is soon
foundo. the morale will sink to the low
est depths of defeatism with lightning
speed.
The Cologne Gazette shows clearly
the extent of the losses and that the
morale is gone.
Explaining the reason why Premier
Lloyd Georges recent speech in the
house of commons was not published
the Cologne Gazette said 1t would be
putting its columns at the disposal OF
enemy propaganda"

The kaiser Is being advised by Won

Hindenburg is said to base his rea-

Boasts Of Sinking Vessels.
Grew of Victim Landed.

Boston, Aug. 12.-At least two steam
ships and nine fishing schooners are
known to have been sunk off the At
lantic coast in the past few days. One
of the steamers is the Syland, which
was sent down last Thursday. The
name of the other is Ullcn. according
to one of the officers of the submarine.
| who boasted of her sinking to MEM
bers of one OF the fishing schooners
that was sunk.
Thirty members Of the crew Of the
Syland have been landed at an Allan
tic port. Several survivors OF various
fishing schooners also have been
landed. So far as known today there
has been no loss of life in the latest
U-boat raid.
Capt. Alexander Lawson and twen-
ty-nine members of the Syland's crew
had been in open boats since last
Thursday at o'clock. Their ship,
they said, had been summarized $50
miles southwest of Cape Sable. TrawI-
ers picked them up last night. The
SyIand was a Swedish steamer.
The fishing schooners were all sent
down by bombs. After their crews
had been given few minutes to make
their escape, men from the submarine

them. 1t was to members of the crew
Of the Kate Palmer. one of the fishing
schooners bombed, that the German
officers boasted of the sinking of the
Ullen. The Kate Palmers crew was
picked up by another fishing schooner.
The German raider may have sunk
more boats than have yet been re-
ported. Fifty or sixty fishing vessels
are known to have been in the waters
where the undersea assassin operated
Saturday. Many of these have not yet
been heard from.
The U-boat went about It's destruc-
tive work in a methodical manner
The first fishing schooner was sent
down early Saturday afternoon. From
then the U-boat proved about until
after dark, destroying schooner after

Shortly before noon the Kate Palmer
and her companions had been warned
