WARRE[|EF FRAUD
is TO Be PROBED
Many individuals and 0rgani-
cations Are Charged With
Practicing Dishonesty.

Contending that many individuals
and organizations are either fraudu-
lently or inefficiently administering
war charity, the National Investiga-
ton Bureau, an organization recently
established in New York, promises
complete probe of all such persons
and agencies everywhere in the
United States. This organization rep
resents the various war chest asso-
Citations established in many parts of
the nation.
Dishonesty in many cases, downright
carelessness in many others and
general loosening of the moral fiber Of
agents soliciting funds for such insti-
tutions are among the many things of
which the bureau complains.
Agencies Endorsed by Bureau.
OF course, such organizations as the
salvation Army, the Y. M. c. A., the
Knights of Columbus the Jewish We'll
fare Board and other public bodies
which are recognized as working I'M
der the authority of the War and Navy
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the cordial ndorse-
ment of the National Investigation Bu-
reau.
Smaller and less known agencies
which are working ostensibly in the
interests of the soldiers at the front
are legion. 1t is impossible for the
busy man or woman solicited by the
agents of such organizations to in
vestigate all of them and it is diff
cult in an atmosphere of intense pa
triotism made holy by sacrifice, to re-
sist an appeal for aid, no matter from
what source it comes.

BASE EVACUATION
UNDERESTIMATE
Zeebrugge and Bruges Avail
ability at an End
Anyway.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Evacuation of the Belgian ports OF
Zeebrugge and Bruges, which it now
appears certain the German leaders
have decided upon, will not affect ma
terially the submarine situation, what
ever it's military result ashore may be.
This is the judgment of both Ameri-
can and allied naval officials best ac-
quainted with submarine warfare.
News from adjacent neutral ports
today apparently made it certain that
the Flanders coast, formerly the base
for the Flanders submarine dotilla
with which the Germans inflicted their
heaviest tonnage losses, were being
cleaned out by the enemy. 1t is point
ed out, however, that this f1otilla was
practically wiped out of existence
when concrete-laden block ships were
sunk in the entrances of the two
bases. and a persistent bombing and
bombarding campaign inaugurated
which has denied the Germans the use
of the bases ever since.

THE VISIT OF DIR. SCHMARYA
LEVIN.
LEVIN

Those who have once had the pleas
tie Of listening to DR.. Schmarya
Levin will not wait to be coaxed to
hear him again. An address by DR..
Levin is the equivalent of course
Of Jewish education And his man
ner is as pleasing as his matter is
enlightening. 1t is therefore rare
treat for the Jews Of the Twin Cities
to have an opportunity next week
Of hearing Dr. Levin on the present
situation in Zionism and the lew
lsh world in general.
The present situation is one Of
r1omentous possibilities. If we do
not now rise to the occasion that is
presenting itself to us, there may
be no such occasion again. And no
one is better qualified to and more
capable of shedding light on the
present situation and instructing
Jews in their duties than DR.. Levin.

EDG 7 ORAL
SIGNS.

A contemporary reports the fol-
lowing incident: A certain Jewish
institution asked for contributions of
books to it's library. Thereupon
there came a veritable avalanche of
Jewish books, especially those pub
lished by the Jewish Publication
Society, with their leaves uncut. Evil
IDENTIFY their owners had never open
ed them, and were now glad to get
rid Of them. Our contemporary
comment upon this is TIA it goes
to show what little interest Amer
lean Jews are taking in Jewish lit
erature, how little they care about
acquiring a knowledge of Jews and
Judaism. This indifference to things
Jewish on the part of our people is
borne out by many other facts. That
some rabbis succeed in drawing big
crowds to the synagog by furnish
ing them entertainment and amuse-
ment does not prove the contrary.
Of course, people like entertainment.
no matter where it is furnished
them. If the present generation is
taking 50 little interest in things
Jewish, what must we expect of the
next and the following? What hope
have we of the survival of Jews and

become manifest to the people. But
that nations means of transporta-
ton and communication should be
the nations property, controlled and
managed by the government for the
benefit the entire nation and not for
the profit of few, can no longer be
questioned by any one who knows
the rudiments of the science of eco
nomics. That this nation will ever
be so stupid as to 60 back to the sys-
tenn of corporation ownership Of rail
roads is unthinkable. Let us not
question the capacity Of our govern
ment to manage our railroads, as
some editors, who worry over the
outlook, are doing. If our govern
ment cannot administer properly,
efficiently and economically this
part Of the public service, it cannot
administer any other part, and all
government, therefore, is mistake,
nuisance, and failure But our
government is quite capable of do
ing whatever it undertakes to do.
All credit to President Wilson and
his administration for the wise step
they have taken.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Judaism in this country, and in 9th
er countries where conditions are the
same? Is there in this some argu-
ment in favor of Zionism?
Another contemporary reports that
literary club in Los Angeles, to
which many Jewish people belong,
has engaged the Ben Greet Shake
spearian players to produce The
Merchant of Venice under its aus
pieces The Jewish members have
vigorously protested against it, both
privately and publicly, but in vain.
Evidently the non-Je ws Of that club
wish the Jewish members to see
themselves as Shakespeare saw
them They seem to have no scru-
pies about this gratuitous affront to
their Jewish fellow-members. They
perhaps anticipate a sort Of fiend-
ish delight in seeing their Jewish
fellow-members writne under the
Shakespearian lash.
OF course, decent cultured people
would never think of doing that to
any other class of their neighbors
or fellow-members. But it is differ
ent in the case of Jews. Their feel
ings need not be respected. 1t has
always been our contention that as
long as Jews are Jews and Chris
tians are Christians, so long will
this feeling of prejudice and hostil-
ity persist. This is gloomy pessi-
mism, you will say. Be it 50. We
believe that facts and reason are on
our side. Do you see any argu-
ment for Zionism in this?

THE RISE OF RUFUS ISAACS.

The press report that Earl Reading,
lord chief justice of England, is to be
sent to Washington as British Ambas-
sador and direct representative Of the
Briti9,1 war cabinet in place of Lord
Northcliffe, calls attention to the re-
rcarkable fact that within a little
more than half a century two Jews of
England have risen to the highest
positions in their country's govern
men. Tho Benjamin Disraeli was by
religious profession a Christian, his
heart was with his people to the very
last. History knows Disraeli only as
Jew The few drops of baptismal
water had no serious effect upon him.
Rufus lsaacs, the present Lord Read
ing, is Jew by religious profession
and practice.
The rise of Rufus Isaacs has been
no less phenomenal than that of
Disraeli. Only few years ago he
was practically unknown outside of
England. When a gifted nation like
that of England, rich in men of tai
ent and genius, selects one man for
S1ch honors as have been bestowed
upon Lord Reading it is surely done
in recognition of superior merit and
distinguished service. That is par
ticularly true of such stressful times
as those that call for a nations pru-
dent and conservative Judgment This
Is the secret of democratic England's
inexhaustible strength. The best man
is chosen, trusted and honored, regard
less of his racial and religious affilia-
ton. And it is the glory of Our own
