Especial to the American jewish
WORLDLY
Washington, the pivotal center
of the war activities, has been chos-
en- by the Provisional Committee
for General Zionist Affairs, for the
establishment of another Zionist
Bureau. After searching the entire
field for a suitable candidate to fill
this very important position the
Provisional Committee has selected
Mr.. Harry Sandberg.
Mr.. Sandberg, graduate of Dart
mouth, is we'll known to Washing
tonians because Of his previous con-
nections with the Pan-Amerlcan
Bureau, in which he occupied re-
sponsible position, and his active as
ISOLATION with the Jewish activities
of the Capital City. He has gained
a wide reputation as the author OF
the special article on Jews in Latin
American Countries which appear
ed in the American Jewish Year
Book of 1917-18, and as frequent
contributor to the Jewish perlodi-
calls of the country on the History
of the Jews in South American
countries. In order to accept the
position rendered him by the Zion
list Organizations of America, Mr..
Sandberg was compelled to secure
leave of absence for several months
from the important post he was
filling for the Government as Agent
of the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce at Boston.
For long time Washington was

the poorest kind. The patriotic zeal
that is spurred on by prejudice
against certain class should be
condemned.
The North Side Commercial Club
of Minneapolis is supposedly COM
posed Of people who, no matter what
private and public interests they
seek to subserve thru their organiza-
ton, and no matter how ardent their
patriotism is, still believe in fair
play and decency. We, therefore,
find it hard to account for state
ment made by the members Of it's
salvage committee, and quoted in
the Minneapolis Tribune (several
statements and interviews of such
character have lately appeared in the
Tribune) to the effect that "the unk
dealers did not merit the confidence
of citizens" Is there any reason
why Junk dealers merit any less the
confidence of citizens than the very
worthy and honorable men who
compose the membership Of the
North Side Commercial Club? We
hope the Jewish merchants of that
section of the city will look into this
matter.

feet of the prevalence of feeblemind- edness on the effective man-power Of the nation, in tn light of the National Army figures, can scarcely be called negligible.

Here their condition can De diagnosed and instruction suited to their capabilities provided, or, if they are to require supervision Nr segre- gation for life, this can be obtained before they have gone out into the community and come in conflict with the law and society and become crim- inal, immoral, diseased or paupers.

MAYOR WILSON
 URGES CITIZENS . TO LIBERALITY

Mayor c. B. Wilson had issued the following proclamation to the citizens of Bridgeport in relation to the drive for Red Cross funds to commence here Monday:
 '"The Red Gross is the symbol of international mercy. It knows no bounds of race. religion or nationality. It succors friend and foe, and is mans most colossal humanitarian enter prise This great cause appeals both to our patriotism and our compas- sion. It restores our wounded to fighting strength. It has upheld the morale of our Allies when 1t was in danger of breaking. It has minis tered to the bravest and the most helpless. We can render no more powerful aid to final victory. Every cent of the Red Cross War Fund is expended for war relief under the di- rection of tine ablest and most de- voted of our citizens
 "The American Red Cross must have $1,0O0, 900, 900 for fts work dur ing the second year of tlIe war. $350,- 900 Is Bridgeport's share. The peo- pie of Bridgeport have been justly proud of the instant response of the city in each of the great war drives.
 By virtue of the authority vested me as the Mayor of the City of Bridgeport, I. Clifford B. Wilson, hereby proclaim the week beginning May twentieth, Nineteen hundred and Eighteen, as Red Cross week, and call upon the entire community to assist in raising the Second War Fund of the American Red Cross

SUBSTITUTES ARE TAKING PLACE OF
 CREAMERY BUTTER

On Saturday April 27th over eight hundred of the branches of the Dairy mems league held meetings with a total attendance of above 80 per cent of the 53,000 members.
 Of the many important resolutions which were discussed and adopted at the various meetings, the one which received the most attention was that the use of butter had decreased to an alarming extent during the last two years, and butter substitutes were talk ing it's place not only among the con sumers in the city, but among farmers themselves. Emphatic resolutions on the need of using more milk and dairy products in their homes and de- lcreasing the use of butter substitutes wene passed at nearly every one of the meetings.
 The discUsEon on this subject brought out the fact that one reason why butter is not used mkre among farmers is that many merS pants urge on their customers the use Of oleo- margarine or other substitutes in the place of butter.
 One of the great troubles of the present critical market situation is caused by the fact that butter is low  in price aRd that this low price is due to butter being displaced by oleomar- garine. If this condition continues it means eventually that a large part of the dairy industry will be sacri- ficed, and of course, such a condition would react directly on all of the merchants in the villages in the dairy sections. There are many of the dairy sections that are not adapted to any other line of farming except that of producing milk and butter. It would therefore seem to be as much of a problem of the local merchants to do everything in their power to advertise and sell the products pro- duced by local dairymen as it is for the dairymen themselves. There is also the health side of the problem to be considered for scientists have conclusively proved that large con sumption of dairy products is neces- salary to the growth and proper maintenance of human life.
