Not all the casualty lists printed in

shell fire or poison gas on the battle

recent report of we'll known acct

But the latest arrival is a new
monthly magazine called The Jew

T. H. Hurwitz, formerly associate
professor of Semitics at Columbia
University, and displaying list of
very able contributors. What wor-
ries us now is that the time is rapid

PATRIOTISM AND THRIFT.

The sacrifices that our country IN
it's present great enterprise to make
the world safe and free has so far
demanded of us have been very
slight, hardly worthy of the name
sacrifice. The benefits it is bestow-
ing upon us. directly and indirectly
by appealing to our patriotism have
been very great.
Among these benefits is the train
ing of this nation in the habit of
thrift No people needs this lesson
more than the American people.
Wasteful extravaganza is our beset-
ting sin. 1t is spreading from the
old to the young. 1t is growing
with every generation, with every
year.
Patriotism is now calling halt to
it. We must save, and with our
savings help our government. And
our government has devised an easy
plan for doing it. Buy thrift stamps
and savings certificates. 1t is good
investment, for the government will
pay you compound interest,"
Minneapolis has been successful
in en1isting all the Jewish school
children in the thrift campaign thru
the Jewish religious schools. On
another page of this paper the read
er will find a weekly statement of
the standing of the different schools
in this contest, the number of chill
dren in each school who have bought
stamps, and the amount of money
the entire school has invested. The
progress of each school may be
watched from week to week.
But it is not enough to keep only
the children interested. Jewish
adults, and especially women, should
be drawn into this campaign in the
same way, thru their organizations.
We suggest contest among the diff
ferent women's organizations, mems
lodges, and young mems clubs. 1t
will stimulate interest in the thrift
campaign on the part of all.

FRENCH OPINION ON NEAR
EAST CHANGING.

LAS tNf1AINO1NO.
French diplomatic opinion con-
corning the solution of the Near
East problem, as expressed through
various organs, has undergone a
decided change since the British
declaration in November in favor Of
Palestine for the Jews. The rapid
advance of the British army, cul-
minating in the capture of Jerusa
lem, has been decided factor in
bringing about this altered attitude,
which is the virtual abandonment
of the old slogan "laSyria integrale"
and which called for a French SUI
erainty of the entire territory from
the Taurus to the Sinai Peninsula.
The Jewish aspiration, as eX-
pressed by Zionism, which not so
long ago was deliberately ignored,
is now being accepted by French
opinion as an important political
factor. Palestine is now being re-
garded as separate and distinct
country, whose future will be de-
cided at the same time as that of
Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia.
1t is being taken for granted in near
ly every quarter that it will come
either under the protection of Eng
land, or some form of international
control This latte, view IS held in
particular by Monsignor Baudril-
lart, who, according to lie Petit
Journal, which interviewed him,
represents the opinion Of thinking
and acting France, but Les Etudes
Religieuses, the Roman Catholic
fornightly accepts the establish
ment of British suzerainty. The
Temps, Echo de Paris and other
leading publications, including La
Croix, also a Catholic organ, are al
ready on record favoring a Jewish
Palestine, and other newspapers
are evidently waiting to learn what
the Government view of the ques-
ton is, before putting themselves
on record.
The only discordant notes have
been sounded by lie Gaulois which
speaks of the historic French claim
to protect the Christians in the ORR
ent, and La Correspondence Orient,

A TRIBUTE TO THE JEWS.

In my indictment OF the naughty
Prussians and their kindred I desire
at the outset to pay tribute to the
100000 Jews of practically pure
Hebraic lineage sojourning by
chance among them. From this
alien race, with patient and puts
SAINT intellect, the rich heritage of
unnumbered centuries has come
great part of the arts, letters and
science that have been enormously
attributed to the Prussians. The
Jews of German residence have ex-
cited us not only to liberal praise,
but to, enthusiasm by their histrionic
and esthetic art. Their science was
helped to numb the pain of the
afflicted; mitigate the toll of the
laborer; to give an abundance of
necessity and moiety of luxuries to
the common people. Their literat-
ure has delighted and instructed all
classes of mankind Their melody
and song have enraptured the world
While the tribe of native Germans
has been Dragging, Boosting and
clustering, the quiet Jew has
brought his versatile and resource
full mind to bear upon the works of
God with the same philosophic &C
umen with which his ancient ances
tors pursued the Words of God.
During the past century the Jew
residing in Germany, while still
keeping one eye on heaven, has cast
the other upon the earth and found
many a gift for science. His achieve
ments have been noteworthy in re-
search, discovery and invention, in
commerce, trade and finance. The
Jews of Germany have been granted
an insignificant voice in political af-
fairs by the native Teutons. There
fore, they are not culpable for the
hydra-headed German state. Thou
sands of them have shown their
apathy for the militaristic govern
ment by seeking homes in demo-
cratic America, where they have
gloriously surpassed those of their
race who remained in the land of
the tyrannical Hohenzollern, prov
ing conclusively that even a people
as richly endowed as is the Jew
must have a republican form of gov
eminent to reach his full stature.
If the intellectual triumph and sci
entihc achievement of the Jews were
removed from the boosted grandeur
of Germany, what would be left?
Even if we generously concede to
her the praise due the Jews, she will
still fail woefully when compared to
the other leading nations of the

RECOGNIZE DYER AS INVENTOR. OF THE FLYING BOAT Litigation in Federal Courts Abruptly Terminated By
 Curtiss. DYER COMMANDS THE BLACK ROCK STATION Experimented Years Be- fore Curtiss Entered Fly
 ing Field.

Litigation pending in the Federal courts to determine the ownership of the patent rights to the flying boat so called, perhaps more commonly termed the hydro-aeroplane, has been rather abruptly terminated.
 The outcome of this action is of more than passing interest to New Englanders, especially in this section, inasmuch as it establishes the claim of Lieutenant Leonard H. Dyer, com mandant of Section Base No. 2, U. S. N. R. F., as the inventor of this re- markable device.
 Commander Dyer is known through out scientific circles as one of the foremost inventors of his day. His automobile patents cover, most of the essential parts of the motor car
 Lieutenant Dyer had completed his experiments on the flying boat ten years prior to the time Germany be- gan her assaults upon civilization. The patent was applied for in 1905, which antedated by a considerable period@of time any commercial work done by the Curtiss company. The patent was granted on Septem- lber 1, 1914 Infringements upon his patent resulted in his beginning lit l igation against the Curtiss Aeroplane company of Buffalo, N. Y. The trial of this action was begun some months ago in the western district of New York before Judge Hazel. Within a few rays the defendant corporation threw up the sponge. so to speak, and consented to a final decree in fla vor of the plaintiff, applied for and was granted a licences to manufac- ture the boats and in addition paid a considerable sum of money for the use it has made of Commander Dyer's patents, both before and dur ing the pending of the suit.
 In addition to the license granted to the Curtiss Ae1oplane company ot Buffalo, the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation, the Curtiss En- Igineering Corporation of Garden City l.. l., and the Burgess company o1 Marblehad, Mass, have been, licensed lty Commander Dyer to manufacture these boats.

Provost Marshal General Crowder, whose approval of the extension has been cited by advocates of the change, also appeared before the committee to say that, while he was not insist ent on immediate action, he thought action should be taken in time to ob- tain new registrants under the re-

 Gen. March and Gen. Crowder were understoo dto have told the commit

 Secretary Baker, it was said, ex-
 pressed merely his personal views and
 those of his military advisers and did not suggest the opinion of President Wilson on the question, although 1t had been reportd that the president also opposed immediate legislation. In asking that the draft legislation go over for the present, Secretary Baker and Gen.

COMMITS DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL CORONER FINDS

Coroner John J. Phelan has con- cluded his inquiry into the death of Captain Lewis w. Conant, who was drowned at the Vincent Bros, dock near Admiral street on the afteroon of June Is. He finds that there is no criminal responsibility and that death was due wholly to an accident. Captain Conant who was employed on the Monk, Jr., line, had been de- livering coal to Vincent Bros. and went to cast off the lines from the dock to the barge. He must have tripped and fallen overheard by stumbling over the rope in some man. ner.
 The coroner is pursuing his inquiry into the death of David Gompertz, the night watchman who was killed by fall through the elevator shaft of the new Liberty building. This hearing is not complete and will be continued on Friday.
