A Suggestion and a Notice.
Tens of thousands of Jewish boys
in the army and navy Of the United
States are offering their lives in the
defense of the nation. Slurs and
gibes upon the courage and sacrifc-
es of the race to which these fight
ing men belong are obviously impu-
dent and indecent, and will not be
tolerated on the stage of this thea
ter; least of all from Jewish per-
formers, who have been the custom
airy offenders in this matter.
If you feel that you cannot get
your act over the footlights without
insulting brave boys who are going
"over the top" please consider your
act cancelled.

Colonel Harry Cutler, Chairman,
National Jewish Welfare BID.
Dear Sir: Mr.. Fosdick has told
me of the effective activity of the
Jewish Welfare Board, in co-ordi-
mating the various Jewish agencies
which have sought recognition for
work inside our military camps.
"In order to prevent duplication
of effort it was necessary to deal
with single agency, broad enough
in its scope and organization to COM
prehend other groups seeking to do
the same kind of work.
"For that reason we were very
glad when such men as Jacob Schiff,
Felix Warburg and yourself came
forward with this plan for Jewish
Welfare Board, and am only too
glad to congratulate you on what
has been accomplished, and to wish
you every success in your co-ordinat
ing activities. Cordially yours,

WAR CREATES PROBLEM FOR
JUNIOR ZIONISTS.
100 Leaders of Young Judaea Hav-
ing Joined the Colors, Convention
Must Find New Men to Carry on
Work. ..f.--....
The convention of Young Judaea,
which held it's sessions at Long
Branch, N. J., was confronted
with the problem of finding
new leaders, equipped intellectually
and morally, for carrying on the
work of the Junior Zionists of
America. The records of Young
Judaea show that already 100 of it's
former leaders, operating in various
localities throughout the country,
are already serving the colors. An
entirely new personnel will have to
be built up. and it may become nee
essary to establish a training school
for Young Judaea leaders.
Elaborate preparations were
made for this convention, which
marks the tenth anniversary of the
organization. The delegates, who
represent a membership of H.
600, were housed at the Hotel
Scarboro, at which the sessions were
held The Long Branch Chamber of
Commerce co-operated with the con-
vention committee and the Zionist
flag floated from the City Hall while
the convention was in progress. One
of the spectacular features of the con-
vention was a parade of all the

AMERICAN PATROLS.
ARE SUCCESSFUL

With the American Army in
France. June 20.--Two American
patrols crossed the Marine east Of
Chateau Thierry early this morning.
They established contact with the
hostile forces. killed a considerable
number OF the enemy and brought
back prisoners.
These we're from Land wehr units,
which Is taken as an Indication that
no hostile attacks are intended at
this point In the Immediate future.
Heavy clouds obscured the moon
and n light drizzle had just begun to
fall. when the two parties OF Ameri.
cans embarked in small boats and
rowed across the river from two
points Of the wooded bank. The,
crossed without detection. One par.
ty entered the woodside held by the
Germans and penetrated cautiously
under the dripping trees for a few
hundred feet. A break in the clouds
suddenly let the moonlight through
and the Americans saw Germans
nearby. The Americans opened fire
from a little rise in the ground. and
the Germans threw themselves fiat
Rifles cracked and then the auto
matics got into action.
Those OF the enemy who remained
alive fled. or we're taken prisoners.
Twelve enemy dead we're counted
before the patrol made its way back
to the boat and rowed to Its own side
Of the river.
The other patrol met another enc
my party, apparently sentries. going
on guard Several Of the Germans
were killed or wounded and one was
taken prisoner.
Later American machine gunners
discovered a hostile party In consid-
erable number apparently making
ready to attempt to cross the river.
But after these guns were turned
loose for few minutes the enemy
abandond whatever plans he had.

Italian Army Headquarters. June
2o.-strenuous fighting continued
today around the Montello plateau
and on the bottom lands along the
Piave near San Dona di Piave, both
the Italians and the Austrians con-
centrating their efforts at these
points. Most Of the battles are in
the open without the protection OF
trenches.
There is also great aerial activity,
the opposing alrplanes flying low
over the fghting soldiers. doing
much damage in the opposing ranks
They also take your hat on" is
how one offlcer described the low
flying Of the airmen.
With their machine guns the avia.
tors pursue troops along the fluc-
tuating battle lines and even seek
them out among the thick bushes
which are characteristic of the coun-
try along the lower Piave.

CIRCULATED
TO STOP PUBLICATION

Petitions are being circulated In
this city by paid solicitors from the
outside. the object OF which is tc
initiate a bill to prevent the adver-
tising OF delinquent taxes. These
have been signed by q good many
people. and II is safe to say that a
large percentage of the signers do
not realize that they are playing d.
rectly into the hands OF the specula-
tors who would sell the property OF
hard-pressed or careless taxpayers
without giving them the benefit Of
public notice that the taxes were
due.
The effort to suppress the pub
licatIon Of the delinquent tax lists
In the various counties Of the state
is not without design. There is a
reason why canvassers are being
paid to go into all the counties Of
the state Of Oregon for the purpose
Of circulating such petitions. These
people are not working in the inter-
ests Of the taxpayers. because the
taxpayer does not pay for the publ.
cation Of the delinquent tax notices.
The property owner whose taxes be-
come delinquent pays for the adver-
tlsing. The tax shark Is the man
most interested. in having the ad.
vertising eliminated.
II Is not proposal to reduce the
cost Of advertising that Is being
made. The purpose is to suppress the
publication altogether.
The tax shark with the elimination
OF the advertising Of delinquent tax
list would reap harvest by the
Of competition in bidding
at tax sales.
