JERUSALEM AS A JEWISH
PUBLISHING CENTRE.

A writer in the London Times Ed

noting the Jewish national renais-

of the Jews as a civilizing element,
adds the following remarks:
"In connection with the Univer

ly discussed in Palestine and abroad,
and will probably materialize soon
after the war. It is a scheme of

the site reserved for the university
settlement. The idea is to concentrate
there gradually the Hebrew book
printing industry SO as to supply
the whole of the Diaspora from
Jerusalem with Jewish literature,
sacred and profane.. Before the war
the number of Talmudic, Rabbinic,
and prayer-books sold in different
countries amounted to millions year

Germany has surrendered The
armistice has been signed. 1t means
the end of the war. 1t means that

A CHRISTIAN CHAPLAIN
WRITES ABOUT A
JEWISH HERR
November 8, 1918.

T. w lOT1 HIM
The following letter was written
by a chaplain of the Church of Eng
land to the mother of Lieut.. Arthur
Myers Of the, Fourth Queens Hus-
sars, son of Asher Myers, former edi-
tor of the Jewish Chronicle of Lon
don. Lieut. Myers died a hero's death
in action in France. Asher Myers,
the father of the young hero, was mar
ried to a cousin of Mrs. Henry Haas
of St. Paul.
April 10, 1918.
Dear Mrs Myers:
[ feel I must write and tell you
how deeply synnpathize with you in
the loss of such splendid son.
I am the Church of England Chap
lain to the brigade, and when he first
joined us out here, your son told me
he was of the Jewish Faith but would
| mind his coming to my services as
he wanted to worship God. All the
time I have known him he never
missed a service and we used to talk
it over afterwards. He was always
perfectly loyal of course, to his Faith,
which he loved and used to tell me
about, and he made it beautiful to me.
I really loved him and was deeply
grieved when I heard his life had been
asked for. He was so brave and his
men all loved him. 1t would touch
your heart to hear them speak of
him. He was always SO courteous and
kinda always willing to put himself to
any trouble for anyone He was a
good friend to me- Just before 60
ing into action he did me a good turn
by giving me help in arranging con-
cert for his men. He was a beautiful
character and I should like to thank
you for him, and when I come home
I should SO like to come and thank you
personally.
We prayed for him at the Regi-
mental Memorial Services that God
would comfort in the knowledge that
your boy did his duty and. earned the
love and admiration of all.
Believe me,
Yours very sincerely,

TO AID JUNIOR RED CROSS
Minstrel Show Given By High School
Students Last Night.

The minstrel show given by the
boys and girls glee clubs in the carni-
val at the Columbia High School some
time ago was so successful that ii
was repeated at o'clock last night
A one-act comedy pantomine, "The
Lamp Went Out" which had been re-
vised into a negro story with fresh
jokes and new songs was added.
The funds from the minstrel will
go to make up the membership sub
scriptions which have not yet reach
ed the amount necessary for the
school to join the junior Red Cross
League. The rule requires that every
student join. Although the member
ship drive has only been continuing a
week, many have not joined yet. This is
due in part to the many other de-
mands on the students, such as SELL
ing thrift stamps and Liberty Bonds.

SHOULD WE CHANGE OUR HYMNS?

With patriotism at white heat, plans
to substitute or add new stanZas tC
national hymns or to have one hymn
do for all the world will gain little
favor with the warning countries, since
each nationality would be unwilling
to admit that its hymn was not fitting
to the present struggle. Narrow as
the song America" might be con-
strued, it would be difficult to get
Americans to learn the verses of a
substitute.
DR.. Henry VanDyke is trying to per-
suade the world to take the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" as fitting to the
present war General as it is, it
would have to be rewritten to meet the
demands of all countries. England
would still want to sing of her king
although that country is really de-
mocracy and each country would
want to sing of its superiority over
other nations.
Many are the poems that seem ap-
plicable to the present war and more
fitting than the present hymns. But
tradition and sentiment surround the
old anthems and any attempt to
cange them at this time would be
viewed as sacrilege.

THE OPEN COLUMN

Editor the Missourian: The United
States is in this war to defeat Prus-
sian autocracy. and if it is to ac-
complish this end We must lend our
moral support as we'll as our dollars
to Uncle Sans cause. We all prefer
out-and-out sympathy for Germany to
a sort of cowardly sham patriotism.
The first may be fairly met and sub
dued, but the other is too prevalent
and deep-rooted to be suppressed by
ordinary measures. AS an example
OF the latter, l noticed yesterday how
a Liberty Loan poster was treated in
a downtown store window. 1t was not
posted in full view as most of them
are. but was more than two-thirds

MUST BEAT GERMAN LOANS

y The Kaiser is watching our Liberty
Loan Bond campaign,-let's help him
get both eyes full. The Kaiser has
asked for war loans seven times
Uncle Sam is making his third request
We must show the Germans that we
will not only subscribe all that is
asked for but will oversubscribe.
Germany is four times deeper in
debt on account of the war than the
United States according to the Liberty
Loan review. Germany's population
is only two-thirds as great as ours
and her national wealth is only one
third. At the end of 1917 every man,
woman and child in Germany bore an
average of 1919 of public debt while
the citizens of the United States bore
about SIS. But we owe the debt to
ourselves and when we pay it the
money stays here, it will not go as
tribute to a foreign power.
The greatest number of subscribers
to a German loan was less than seven
million; the Treasury Department
hopes the Third Liberty Loan will
have twenty million subscribers. Are
you one of the twenty million? Uncle
Sam is calling on you and the Kaiser
is watching your action; he wants to
know if you are willing to sacrifice to
give the money to keep the war ma
chinery going.
The national loan headquarters
gives an additional reason for asking
that we have twenty million subscrib-
ers for this loan. Have you helped
to make Americas loan Overtop Ger
many's?" asks the headquarters re-
view. do you know that wide dis
tribution of the bonds results in less
financial displacement and provides
better assurance that the bonds will
not be placed upon the market, but
will be held by their purchasers? This |
is not mere financial theOry-it is |
definite fact which you, whoever you
are, must help to meet with your pur-
chases of Liberty bonds"
