The Battle Fields OF France

In the valleys where the lilies and
the .poplars bend and bloom,
khs dect;ssss u ds.sFffn
low cen the battles gloom,
Where the nightingale is singing
with a deaper-throated plant,
And the moon in trackless splendor
shines benign upon the faint.
On the hills where watchmen lift
aloft the sacred flag,
Where the eagle in his glory seeks
the strong and fiinty crag,
And the hero dares to thunder at the
gates of ordered greed,
With smile that welcomes courage
that is glorified indeed.
In the land where men are dying that
fair freedom shall be safe,
And be made the Alma Mater of the
widow and the waif.
We can see the line of battle as it
winds it's bloody coil
To the dawn of greater glory on a
consecrated soil.
We shall conquer! We shall conquer!
And the gates shall not go down,
And a newer race of kingly men shall
wear the laurel crown,
And a glory that is freedom shall, in
travail come to birth,
Ever In Hoe Signo Vinces shall go
singing DER the earth.

NOT PLACE OF IMPORTANCE
References to Town of Joppa Only
Occasionally Met With in Old
Testament Writings.

The town Of Joppa was never with
In the territory Of the Israelites, in
Old Testament times, and so meets
with only casual reference from the
Old Testament writer's. Thus it Is
mentioned, by the writer Of II Chron-
icles, as a seaport for the importa-
ton of Lebanon timber, which was
fioated down the coast. Said Hiram,
the king Of Tyre, in the course Of his
"kind answer" to Solomon's embassage
for workmen and materials, "And we
will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much
as thou shalt need; and we will bring
1t to thee in f1otes by sea to Joppa !;
ind thou shalt carry it to Jerusalem"
And the great cedars Of Lebanon
were hauled across the country be-
tween Joppa and Jerusalem. Joppa
came into the hands of the Jews in the
time of the Maccabees, and, although
Pompey restored it to the SyrianS. it
was later given back to the Jews, with
an exemption from tax.

Charm of Old San Antonio.

The charm of the old city lies chief
1y around the historic spots and build
ings in which the romance Of its early
history is conferred. Rarely do we en-
ter a city that can boast of ancient
edificeS and hallOwed ground, the his
tory OF which is known the country
over. Rarer still is the community
whose quaint buildings, picturesque
scenes and romantic atmosphere are
its main attractions, Turing thousands
to its gates each year. Such, however,
is the boast of San Antonio, Tex, one
of the quaintest and most interesting
cities in the United States. Nowhere
else may you find a greater appeal to
the romantic and the picturesque and
having such hospilable welcome ex-
tended you; nowhere will you find
such blending of the ancient with
the modern rs in this delightful city

GOT THEM PULLING TOGETHER
What Happened When Spirit of Coop
Grafton Got Busy With Band of
Foolish, Patriotic Citizens.

One day a traveller came to a VIII
lage green upon which a number OF
citizens stood in a discouraged and ex-
hausted fashion about a flag pole.
"And vhe are these men" asked the
traveller.
"They are patriotic citizens" he was
told, "who are trying to raise the flag
to the top Of the pole. Each one, how
ever, has his own method of rope-pull-
Ing, and though they are very strong
and determined to raise the flag and
though, as you can see, each one Is
putting all his strength in the work,
nothing seems to happen. We spec
tators are afraid that they will spend
so much time in argument that the
flag will never be raised at ALL"
This is very interesting" said the
traveller
He approached the group and adj

pull the rope steadily in one direction.

But we have different ideas of di-
rection," they told him.
1--WE will discuss those .afterward,"
said the traveller; Gin the meantime let
US take one long, strong pull together
and see what happens"
With much distrust his suggestion
was acted upon, the flag went swiftly
to the top of the pole and opened glo-
riously above the cheering populace.
The patriots wiped their heated
brows and looked at each other.

some time ago." said one, "a great

"Also," remarked the traveller, who

several as the Spirit of Cooperation,

sooner"

SOLDIERS MAIL FROM
OVERSEAS ARRIVES
Many Families Made Happy by Re-
ceiving Letters From Their Boys
In France.

Saturday, Sunday and today mail
and the hearts of many fathers and
mothers have been gladdened by
messag es received from boys, from

Jewish learning and loyalty, would
know better and do better than to
write like missionary of the deep
est dye. Yet, so fully enwrapped
does he seem with the Christian
spirit, having imbibed freely and
constantly from the Christian wells,
that the work referred to is such
that liberal Christian might we'll
be ashamed to have written it.
The harm that such work does,
although we doubt not that Mr..
Montefore is very good Jew at
heart, is incalculable. For ages the
Jew has held out against the world
in his reputation of certain dogmas
and doctrines. Every method was
employed to win him over, but to no
avail. To-day the world is coming
nearer and nearer to the Jewish
viewpoint. But the Jew himself
is developing an unheard Of Jesuola-
try, is teaching dogmas that our
people have spent thousands of
years in disc1aiming and is preach
ing doctrines that Israel has sacri-
feed thousands of. lives in disprov-
ing. Is it not about high time we
should cry halt to such rank and
rabid radicalism?

RABID RADICALISM.
Gan editorial by DR.. Mendel SLIDER
in The Jewish Ledger)

III L TIC JEWISH LCuSeI.
A word of protest is often spoken
against certain activities of con-
verified Jews who, for the money
there is in it, become missionaries.
Their work is generally character
lied by the well-deserved epithet
"humbug". Yet, it is really harm
less humbug. Fraudulent though
labors of these individuals be, they
nevertheless hurt no one save the
deluded fanatics who support them.
At the very worst they merel y an
noy us, but they do not injure us.
Much worse, and for that reason
much more deserving of our indigna-
ton and protest, are the misguided
statements of some Jews who un-
Willingly carry on Christian mis-
sionary propaganda. These are
liable to do a great deal of mischief,
especially when they come from men
who are reputed to possess scholar
ship. Whatever the motive, it is
certainly a pity that such men
should not work more for Judaism
instead of working against it.
Of course, one can readily see how
such propaganda comes about. The
rabbi who breaches to mixed aud
fences and is particularly anxious
to please his non-J Jewish listeners
is very apt in the course OF time to
become a Jesuo1ater. Laymen, too,
whose reading and research along
theological lines have been carried
on by the aid of Christian sources
are not infrequently guilty of Jesuo-
latry, for it must be remembered
that the Christian theologian, even
though he be liberal, logical, mod
ern and scientific, can hardly help
from being Influenced to greater
or lesser degree by his early en-
vironment and later training. And
unless the Jewish student who reads
the works Of such theologlans is
sufficiently backed up and fortified
by true Jewish scholarship, he will
unconsciously fall a prey to their
manner and methods of reasoning.
AS an illustration, we might cite
some of the writings, especially the
one on the "Synoptic Gospels by
Mr.. Charles G. Montehore. One
would imagine that any one who
bears name SO much honored and
revered by us Jews, man also who

erican citizens must show their
loyalty to America by refraining
from all participation in the en-
deavor to establish the Jewish peo-
pie on it's ancient soil. This is anti
Zionist logic, ard anti-Zionist Ameri-
canism. The same old stuff
