call and passed thru Minot Monday
afternoon enroute to Camp Dodge,
Iowa, where he has entered the Quar-

ought to be rapid. Friend Lano will
probably be used in regiment of
picked shock troops to take care of

Mr. w. w. Tyler.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Assuming that I can be forgiven
for my failure to write sooner, I ask
your kind consideration of the many
difficulties that arise to bar ones good
Intentions, especially so when fellow

inclination to write was the strongest.
Now, that desire sees its fulfill
ment, for we are again in the trenches
for our second time. And I'm happy
to report that as I write all is quiet
and to a degree, provokingly peaceful.
This state of affairs is, however, not
unwelcome, after days of living. under
the uncertainty Of bursting shrapnel,
whining steel from suffering ma
chine guns, and the dread Of gas And
it rains! Good Lord, does all the rain
in the world fall over here Now I
know why North Dakota is so dry!
The rain all falls over here.
But. with patter of rain outside and
the squnch of a passing sentry's boots
sucking thru the mud coming in thru
the half open door Of my dugout, I
rise to remark that this is the life!
Time was when thought life was
but disagreeable wav of spending
the time between eternities But the
experiences Of the past few weeks

The memory Of kiss impelled Wal
ter Adsit to put in three whole days
watching everywhere for a clue he had
in mind. One day he came to sud-
den standstill at cabstand. A newly
glazed window in a cab gave him hope.
A little later the driver appeared.
In twenty words Walter satisfied
this man that if he did not give the
details Of the abduction Of Miss Ward
and her whereabouts he was headed
for the penitentiary. The cab driver
was, in fact, only a hired tool, but he
knew enough to post Walter as to the
best course for him to pursue.
An hour later, armed with names
and details the cab driver had given
him, Walter rushed unceremoniously
In upon an old bag in q wretched tene-
ment house.
'tFrom Devoneyv' he exclaimed.
"The police are on the track Of the
grl-get her, quickl must hurry her
to better hiding"
The alarmed woman acted on the
fear imposed. An hour later Estelle
Ward was in the arms Of her brother.
A week afterward the case at law was
decided in his favor, and later still
Walter Adsit became sutton, but
not in the courts-that is, except the
court of love, where his earnest plea
vas met with the favor 1t deserved.

The mothers, sisters and sweet

to do their share of the work. Their
love and solcitude for the boys is
sufficient prompting force. But even
the one who has no kin in the army
or navy should consider the other

be prompted by the same maternal

THE AMERICAN JEWISH COM
MITTEE ON ZIONISM.

At last the American Jewish
Committee, which, altho a self-con-
stituted and self-appointed body is
vet representative of the best part
of American Jewry, and has in the
past rendered good service to it,
has gone on record in regard to
Zionism 1t has passed a resolu-
ton expressing profound apprecia-
ton of the recent declaration of the
British government in favor of
establishing a national home for the
Jewish people in Palestine. Such
a resolution on the part of the Com
mittee was to be expected. Among
it's leading members are some who
are prominently identified with
Zionism, and they surely would
have found themselves out of place
if the Committee had taken any
other stand. Furthermore, Zionism
is now favored by our own govern
ment as we'll as England and France,
altho the United States has made no
public and official declaration of it.
Zionism fits in with the present war
plans of the Entente Powers. 1t is

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD,

a part of the general program that
President Wilson has helped to work
out, and for which the war is to be
carried to successful conclusion.
For body like the Jewish Commit
tee to take a stand of opposition or
indifference to the British declara-
ton would therefore clash with the
program of our allies and be at the
present juncture almost unpatrlotic.
True, some of the members of the
Committee have until now been
strongly antiZionistic. For them the
Committees resolution will be bit
ter pill to swallow. They may in con-
sequence be obliged to resign. 1t is
probably to pacify them that the Com
mittee in its resolution makes no men,
ton of Zionism or nationalism, or a
national home in Palestine, but only
of the establishment in Palestine of
a center for Judaism, for the stimula-
ton of our faith, for the pursuit and
development of literature, science and
art in a Jewish environment, and for
the rehabilitation of the land" The
Committee of course speaks in terms
of "cultura1 Ziorism, which seems to
be acceptable to many who cannot
swallow national or political Zionism.
But there is really no difference.
They are only two aspects of one and
the same thing. There can be here
on earth no soul without a body, no
Jewish culture without a Jewish ma
ton, and so, no matter how guardedly
the resolution is worded, Zionists ap-
preciate the Committees stand and
welcome its members to their fellow
ship.

PHILADELPHIA'S WAR CHEST
A novel plan has been worked out
by the public-spirited citizens OF
Philadelphia in order to raise suf-
ficient funds for all relief purposes
The plan is summed up in the slo-
gan: "A war chest for war pur-
poses, and briefly means that all
organizations working for war re-
lief, such as the Red Cross, the Y.
NJ. C. A., the Knights Of Columbus,
the Jewish Welfare Board, and the
Jewish war sufferers Relief Com
mittees in the city Of Philadelphia
are henceforth to pool their inter-
ests, make one drive together, and
then apportion what money will thus
be raised among the constituent re-
lief agencies. tits purposed to make
the campaign so thoro that no resi-
dent of the city will escape, and to
make each one contribute the pro-
ceeds of one days work month.
1t must be admitted that this plan
has many attractive features to
recommend it. 1t is certainly strlk-
ingly novel, If it works out well,
there is no reason why all other
communities should not adopt it. 1t
will certainly save great deal OF
labor, and may bring larger returns
for ALL The whole country may yet
have occasion to be grateful to the
City of Brotherly Love for the new
idea, and the experiment it is max
ing to prove it's practicability.
Mr.. David Lubin, founder of the
International Institute of Agrlcul-
ture at Rome, Italy, and its Amer
lean representative, man of world
wide reputation, has come out in a
letter to Justice Brandeis as strong
advocate of Zionism. Mr.. Lubin has
been an ardent preacher of the Jew
ish mission to the world, and, what
is more, has in himself, by his fine
humanitarian work, exemplifed this
ideal. But he realizes that people
can best fulfill its mission when it
lives it's independent normal life in
it's national home.
We are afraid that the Jews of
Poland and parts of Austria are stor-
ing up troubles for themselves as a
