"THE WHITE SQUAW.c

"The White Squaw" which comes to
The City Opera House on Saturday
night, February 16, for one night, Is
laid in the backwoods of Michigan
and the time is supposed to be 1920,
but the play is constructed on a hui
man foundation which, in it's exhi-
bition of emotions and passions is not
confined to time nor place. The chief
theme of the production is the laying
bare the heart of Neamata, young
girl of European parantage, who has
been brought up in an Indian wigwam,
and who believes herself to be of saw
age descent. Her love is unsophisti-
Gated yet capable, in the crisis of her
life, of self7abnegation. The play is
intense and full of fire, and there Is
a strong vein Of comedy running
through the entire performance. Won
derful novelties are introduced in the
way of scenic effects and costuming.

About Consultation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat promote movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain s

ZIONIST OFFICE IN BERLIN
RAIDED.

The offices of the German Zion
list Federation in Berlin have been
raided by the police, who spent four
teen hours in microscopic investiga-
ton of all letters and documents,
according to information received
by the Provisional Zionist Commit
tee. Two days later some of the
confscated papers were returned.
The cause for this raid is unknown,
but it is believed to be due to
strong suspicion that German Zion
lists synnpathize with the Allies
since the British Declaration in
favor of a Jewish Homeland in
Palestine.
Raids were also made on prom
inent Zionists in Vienna, Lemberg
and Warsaw. Their homes were
ransacked and all of their papers
seized. In Vienna and in Warsaw
number of prominent ,Zionists
were thrown into prison.

THE AMERICAN ZIONIST
MEDICAL UNIT.
The First ALL Jewish Unit In
History.

Forty-three physicians. dentists,
sanitary engineers and administrat-

list Medical Unit for Palestine, or
gained by Hadassah, the American
Women's Zionist Organization. It
will carry with it over $1,000 gar
ments which have been contributed
for the relief of the poor of the Holy
Land. The task of the unit will be
to combat typhus, typhoid, malaria,
trachoma and other diseases endem-
ic in the Holy Land, and to estab-
fish a public health service. 1t will
make it's headquarters in Jerusalem,
where it will establish "a 100 bed
hospital. A branch will be estab-
lished in Jaffa, and the whole coun-
try will de covered by amjbulatory
dispensaries, clinics and maternity
relief stations.
It's equipment of drugs, instru-
ments, hospital supplies, etc., rep
resent cargo of 400 tons. This is
the first al1-Jewish unit in history,
and it is fitting that it should be
sent to the Jewish land for Jewish
purposes.

TIGRIS RIVER CHOKED WITH
JEWISH SLAIN.

New York, June 15.-The Tigris
was found choked with the bodies
of Jews, who had been slaughtered
by the Turks, when the British en-
tered Bagdad, according to cores
pendent of the Provisional Zionist
committee, whose report has just
reached here.
The Turks ordered the Jews to
hand in all gold and silver money
in exchange for paper notes which

already had deprecated greatly in
value. The additional notes caused
financial chaos, and the whole credit
system collapsed. The local Off
Gals were sharply rebuked by the
Turkish government. A number of
the rich Jews were summoned and
accused of trafdicking in the notes in
an attempt to impair the credit of
the Turkish government. The Jews
were tortured, murdered and their
bodies thrown into the Tigris.
The Turks say many of their afro
cities against the Jews are instigated
by the Germans.

WIT AND HUMOR IN WAR
TIME.
The Jewish Soldier Figures in Many
Funny Stories.

and misery Of the present conflict,
they can still extract a great deal of
humor. There are funny stories re-
lating to the war in countless num-
bers; and, of course, the Jew is the
central figure in the majority of
them. Unfortunately, large num-
Der of these stories are told at the
expense of the Jew, but there are
few good tales in which the fun is
quite innocent; and although they
have gone the rounds of newspapers
and vaudeville theatres, some of
them bear repetition.
At the very beginning of the war,
a story telling of Russian Jewish
soldier who captured a German flag,
was very popular. The captain of
the company-so the story goes
called the Jewish soldier to him and
commended him for his heroic act,
"You are indeed a brave man." said
the captain. "Now tell us how you
captured this splendid trophy"
1T was this way" replied the SOL
dier. "I was carrying Russian flag
and over in the enemy trench I saw
my brother-in-law, Ginsburg, carry
ing the German flag. So we just
snapped flags"
Al Jolson, the popular comedian
of the Winter Garden, is sponsor for
the story of an Irish recruit at Yap-
hank, who was taking a written ex-
animation in 'frst aid" treatment.
One of the questions asked was,
what are rabies and what would
you do for them?" The Irishman
Immediately wrote, "rabbies are Jew
priests and I wouldn't do darn
thing for them"
But the classic of Jewish war sto-
ries lis the one told of a Jewish SOL
der who was informed in Germany
as a prisoner of war. He wrote a
letter home to his folks which read
something like this:
Please do not worry. We are be-
ing treated splendidly. We get
plenty to eat and fine quarters to
sleep in. I am in the best of health
Yours lovingly,
Isadore.
P. S.-Brother Abe was shot this
morning for complaining.
Then again, there is the story of
the Jewish soldier who was dying
on the battlefield, and was mistaken
by Catholic priest for one of his
co-religionists. The priest knelt be-
side the dying man and commenced
to administer the final rites.

AIRY DEGREE ON EARL
OF READING.
Columbia University last week
conferred the degree of Doctor of
Laws on Earl of Reading, at the
one hundred and sixty-fourth an
nual commencement of the univer-
sity.
Before the exercises began, DR..
Butler announced that the son of
Lord Reading had received an
award of the military service medal
for distinguished service on the
field. Word came after the earl had
taken his seat on the platform. His
son is Captain Viscount Erleigh,
Royal Fusiliers. He was a staff
captain Of one of the brigades which
met the heavy German attack Of
March Fl.
Secretary Lansing and the Earl
of Reading were the guests of honor
at luncheon of the alumni Of
Columbia University, given after
the commencement exercises.
In his address Lord Reading said
in part:
II see in this assembly today the
greatest encouragement to our
cause. I listened with you, Mr..
President, not unmoved and with
recollections of many such scenes in
my own country, to the catalogue
of men who were away from this
university at this moment because
they were serving their countrys
highest interest. All! We have be-
come accustomed to the catalogues
of absent men. We have grown used
to rolls of honor; yes, and we have
never ceased to honor them and will
never cease to honor them, however
many more there still may be. Every
one of them that is inscribed on the
roll of honor Gas they are and will
be with you) is a name that will
serve to inspire us for the future.
"This only leads me to say one
word more. 1t is this-that come
what may we have to remember that
there can only be one end for this
war if civilization itself is not to be
hurled down the precipice into the
bottomless abyss"
