AS OTHERS SEE us.

At the Joint" thanksgiving services
at the Lyric Theatre, notable feature
was the presence on the program of sew
eral eminent non-Jews. No less notable
was what they had to say, especially with
reference to Palestine. These speakers
included a Canadian officer, past COM
mander Of the G. A. R., a State Supreme
judge, an ex-congressman, and the head
of a widely-known industry. Surely
these men ought to know what patriotism
is. Surely they ought to know what may
lead to divided allegiance on the part of
any group of American citizens. If the
aspirations for Jewish Palestine on the
part Of American Jews might in any way
question their loyalty, one would expect
the above mentioned eminent Americans
to know.
Yet with surprising unanimity they
referred to the founding Of Jewish
homeland in Palestine, and indicated that
nothing seemed more natural for Jews
and non-Jews alike than to plan such a
state.
We cannot help wondering how many
Jewish speakers would have spoken as
generously as did these non-Jews of
Jewish hopes for the Jewish homeland?
The question remains then, if the nom
Jew takes it as mater of course that
Jews may, without affecting their Amer
lean citizenship be interested in Jew
ish State in Palestine, why should it be
the Jews who forever raise the spectre
of divided allegiance? In this regard
our Jewish publicists and sef-appointed
guardians might we'll learn the lesson of
tolerance from the non-Jewish American.

GERMAN TYRANNY.

Returned; forbidden language"
is the stamp in German which is
put on Yiddish papers sent by post
from Galicia to what was formerly
Russian-Poland. The Lemberger
Tageblatt points to this as conclu
sive evidence of the true attitude
of the German Government towards
the Jewish people.

POLISH POLICIES.

The distressing reports of atrocities
against the Jews in Poland proper and
in Galicia, which has been taken over
by the Poles, furnish food for serious
thought. Naturally apologies and Eek
plantations" are abundant. We are told
that the ANTI Jewish riots were directed
not against the Jews, but against the
Bolshevists, who happen to be Jews.
Even Kerensky, who has no reason for
shielding the Bolshevists or the Jews,
declares that while many Of the leaders
of the Reds are by birth Jews, at least
SO per cent Of the Jews in Russia are vio-
lently opposed to the Bolsheviki Thus
the Polish alibi is really adding insult to
injury.
The outstanding fact that must face
every liberal observer is that Poland,
which is suing at the bar Of the nations
for liberty and recognition as an indie
pendent land is from the outset showing
it's unwillingness or it's inability to grant
to other suffering groups the very priv
leges it so loudly demands for itself.
The oppression under which the Poles
had groaned should have taught them the
lesson of tolerance. If in spite of the
common experiences Of the Jews and
Poles of Poland, the Jews are still dis
eliminated against, that fact should be
remembered at the Peace Table, and the
Poles should realize the possible conse-
quences.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

on poorer scale. 1t had no specific
Jewish, character. 1t failed to gauge
its place in the promotion of true
Jewish community spirit.
Perusing the prospect of the vari-
Gus Jewish organizations in COM
munity and noting how little atten
ton is given to the things that
should be of supreme importance
one need not wonder why many
would rather join the general organ
izations Of the community instead Of
being affiliated with those that call
themselves Jewish. This is also the
reason why organizations that boast
of large memberships rarely have
we'll attended meetings.
1t is high time that the guiding
spirits of Jewish organizations begin
to realize the special part they must
play in the life of the Jewish COM
munity. 1t is high time that Jewish
organizations besides being Jewish
in name shall become Jewish in pur
pose in spirit and Jewish in activity.
The change is not difficult. 1t re-
quires only the realization of the
part each organization must play in
the community life. Let one organ
ization set the pace and the others
will follow. What more can Jewish
societies hope for than to see that
they help to create a true Jewish
community feeling community
spirit-community consciousness.
What organizations will begin to
lead in this needed reform?

JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS.

Any one familiar with Jewish
communities in America knows that
very few of them suffer because they
lack sufficient number of organiza
tons interested in Jewish service.
The fact is that most communities
are stocked with an over supply OF
such organizations. But rarely does
a goodly force of agencies hurt
community. It is rather, the failure
of organizations to accomplish what
they set out to do that causes great
deal of harm to the community.
1t is indeed self evident that the
work Of Jewish organizations should
be specifically Jewish in character.
Jewish social organizations should
aim to inject Jewish atmosphere
into all their social activities Jew
ish educational and intellectual or
CARNATIONS should help to spread
knowledge of the various phases of
Judaism. Even charity, philanthropy
and welfare can bear a Jewish char
acter. For the combined object of
all organizations of a Jewish COM
munity can only be the promotion
of Jewish consciousness among the
Jewish members of the community.
Thus having specific object to ac-
complish the means to be used must
be suited to the object. Merely du-
plicating Christian organizations can
never bring about the success to be
striven for.
Why is that the Y. M. H. A.,
movement failed, up to recent years,
to become the special agency of the
American community in line of Jew
ish endeavor? Why did not this
national organization become the
Jewish Welfare agency in the army
and navy? is because it lacked
a specific Jewish purpose. It was
merely another Y. M. c. A., but up

Washington, D. G., Sept. 17.-~Un-
der the rules of the War Department
for executing the new draft law, spe.
cial provision is made for informing
the district boards in regard to
farm-labor requirements in order tina
necessary food production may be
maintained, says statement issued
by the Department of Agriculture.
The statement continues.
In the new draft the district board
are charged with the duty OF putting
into deferred classes those persons
who are more likely to further the
war by remaining in civilian occu-
pations than by entering the army
Accordingly, three advisers are to
be selected for each district board
one for agriculture, one for labor
and one for other occupations. The
agricultural adviser will be appoint
ed by the board upon the recon
mendation of the Secretary of Agri
culture. The advisers are not mem
bers Of the board but may, when in
vited, attend its meetings.
