"Red Ambassador
 Upsets Berlin

 Instead of stumbling over himself 1 in his efforts to placate the proud
 Prussian functionaries of Berlin, par 1 ticularly the "all highest,D Adolphe ! is said to have hoisted the red flag
 above the Russian embassy and to
 have refused to meet the Kaiser. Shattering diplomatic usage in
 much the same way that his com patriots have behaved in Petrograd,
 Adolphe ignored government officials
 and gave his first important dinner
 to minority German socialists, at
 which he is reported to have indulged in strong language" We may well believe it.

Lloyd George to
 Remain Premier

THE effort to force Lloyd George 8 out of the premiership of the British government has failed utterly.
 General Maurice, who had held an important position in the war office, made an untactful reference in a re- cent speech which cost him his place. Ever since his resignation he has been trying to make trouble. Like other men of high rank who have been discredited, he has acted the marplot. In impuning the veracity of the prime minister he gathered about him all the malcontents and succeeded in enlisting the support of Ex-Premier ! Asquith as the leader of the forces seeking to "break down the govern ment."
 Mir. Asquith is a man of boise and dignity and he has always had a strong following. But the British public demanded Lloyd George, and when he stepped into Asquith's shoes jealousy seems to have become the inn polling motive of the once lofty states man who, at the beginning of the war, was the idol of his party.
 MT. Asquith protested that his mo- tion for the appointment of special committee to investigate General Matrices charges was not to be con- strued in the nature of censure, but to all intents and purposes, that was the meaning of it. The vote in the Commons yesterday against the motion was decisive-293 to 106.
 It was a clear vindication of the prime minister and it's effect upon the morale of the British people and ! of the allies can but prove telling and istabilizing.
 This is no time for political up- heavals, or the swapping of govern mental chiefs.

The holy season is over, and as
we look back we find that it has
been no different from its predeces-
sors of recent years, altho the pres
ent war conditions and war calam-
tiles and sorrows all over the world
should have made many more people
more thoughtful, and of more pray
erful mind. But they apparently
had no such effect. The number
of those who are showing disregard
for the synagog and it's traditions is
growing. The son of many father
who used to keep his place of bust
ness closed both days Rosh Ha-
shonoh is keeping his open even on
Yom Kippur. And yet many rabbis
tell us that Judaism is safe even
without Zion and Zionism.

THE COMMUNITY WAR
CHEST.

The planned Community War
Chest for Minneapolis is soon to be
a reality. 1t will include all local
philanthropies as well. There can
be no question as to what the Jew
ish community must do in the mat
ter. We must join and pool our
interests with the others. 1t is es-
sentially war measure to save time
and energy, time and energy that
will be used for other purposes.
Patriotism, therefore, dictates the
one course for us to follow.
But there are other reasons why
we should join, even as far as our
Associated Charities are concerned.
One is the well-known precept Of
our rabbis, edo not separate thy
self from the community" We can
not, burst not, keep aloof from
movement in which the entire COM
munity is interested. Another is
the prospect of total that will thus
be raised larger than the several
amounts raised by each individual
philanthropy separately. For there
will be thoro campaign and per-

sistent drive from which no one will
be able to escape. Each one will
be made to contribute to his full
capacity. Each philanthropy will
thus be financially benefited. And
third reason is that by not join
ing we may find it more difficult to
raise enough for our own budget.
Once man has subscribed to the
community war chest, and given
to the full limit of his means, he will
not be very liberal with any addi-
tional contributions for which he
may be called upon. And SO there
is only one thing for us to do at
the present time: Join.

CONGRESSMAN SIEGEL RE-
TURNS FROM ABROAD.

Congressman Isaac Siegel of New
York City, member of the Overseas
Commission of the Jewish Welfare
Board, has just returned from
France with praise for the courage
and accomplishments of the Jew
ish boys with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. Visiting battle
fronts, hospitals and training camps,
Congressman Siege1 met thousands
of American fighters and passed thru
a variety of interesting experiences.
With Rabbi G. H. Enelow, Rabbi
Jacob Kohn and Julius Rosenwald,
he studied conditions among the
Jewish members of the American
Expeditionary Forces with view
of establishing the work of the Jew
ish Welfare Board overseas. A re-
port of the Commission work abroad
has been submitted by Congressman
Siegel to the Executive Committee
of the Jewish Welfare Board.
The Commission organized Rosh
Hashonah services and arranged for
receptions for the Jewish fighters
in French homes and synagogues on
their Holyday furloughs.

October II, 1918.
How can any American-born rabbi,
who wishes to lie on a bed of roses,
resist such inducements.

A letter by Rabbi Max Heller of
New Orleans in The American
Israelite in which he administers
scathing rebuke to the anti-Zionist
rabbis, concludes as follows:
"And how can, above others, the
rabbi espouse that sort of gospel as
Jewish preachment? pa gospel of
bitter antipathy against the home
longings of the martyred Eastern
Jew, gospel of sceptical disbelief
in the recreative genius of his peo-
pie, a gospel of enmity and indiffer-
ence to renascent Hebrew culture,
a gospel of selfish apprehensions re-
garding ones own rights and COM
forts? A fine gospel, indeed, all
around, not for the generous, the
loyal, the compassionate, the be-
lever in his own people, but for the
selfish and the cold-hearted, the
short-sighted and the provincial, the
Philistine, sodden in his SNUG con-
ceit, for whom the vision, the ideal,
the aspiration have no meaning.
eff Zionism succeeds, the glory will
certainly be that of Jew and Juda
ism; should Zionism fail, the dis
credit can not be escaped by Jew
and Judaism but that discredit will
be the graver, should Zionism fail,
not because of outward impediments,
but by reason of inner divisions and
factious antagonisms."

"Who is strong? He who turns
an enemy into a friend" IF a
friend be in need of your aid to
unload a burden and an enemy for
help to load, assist first the enemy
that the desire for hatred may be
stifled in you" are two quotations
from Raibbinical writings; while the
saying is ascribed to the wisest of
men, eff thine enemy be hungry,
give him meat to eat, and if he
be thirsty give him water to drink"
as is also "Rejoice not when thine
enemy falleth, and let not thine heart
be glad when he stumbleth." These
just by the way. In point of fact,
none can say that the Jew during
the two thousand years since the
foundation of Christianity has not
had infinitely more to forgive of
enemies than any other people-and
he has done it with . .-pious de-
votion- as we Jews say. We should
have thought that forgiveness of
enemies on the part of Christians
was hardly SO much the order of the
day just at this moment that any
Christian would care to measure
Christianity by it's practice. But let
that pass.

impressions acquired during his stay
in France, he said:
"After fve-week tour of the
camps in France, and having met
thousands of boys of all faiths, and
after receiving opinions of men in
command, including General PERISH
ing, it gives me great pleasure to
be able to say that our boys have
performed remarkable and most ex-
traordinary deeds in every battle
which has taken place so far. One
has to visit the hospitals, and there
learn from the boys of every faith
what our boys have done under fire.
The morale is extremely high, and
the one spirit which dominates them
is that of obtaining quick and certain
victory.
"For the high Holydays twelve of
the synagogues in Paris opened
their doors, and in all the camps and
cities in France the boys attended
services. The Jewish Chaplains Of

forces conducted services, and DR..

are hopeful of gains in New Jersey, New Mexico, Wyoming, South Dako ta, West Virginia and possibly in other seats.
 Republican hopes for regaining control of the senate largely are pinned to Illinois, where Senator Lewis is opposed by Representative Medill Mccormick; Kansas, where Governor Arthur Capper, the repub- lican nominee is opposing Senator Thompson, democrat; Delaware, where Senator Salisbury, democrat and president pro tempore of the sen- ate, is opposed by former Senator Ball, republican,; Idaho, where the republicans hope to defeat Senator Nugent; Nevada, where Representa- tiv Roberts, republican, and Anna Martin, the National Woman's pary candidate, are contesting with Sena- tor Henderson, democrat, and New Hampshire, where the republicans hope to elect a successor to Senator Hollis, democrat, as well as a republi- can successor to Senator Gallinger.
 Participation of women, both as candidates and electors is a unique and more extensive feature of the campaign. Two women, Representa- tive Jeanette Rankin of Montana and Miss Martin of Nevada are aspirants for the senate as independent candl- dates, while Sadie Kost and Clara $. Mann, are republican and democratic candidates for the House in New York. Women's votes are expected to play large part today in results in the western suffrage states and also in Illinois and New York.
 Of the lesser political parties, the prohibitionists have a candidate for the House in Representative Randall of California, also running as dem ocrat. The socialists, represented in the present congress only by Repre- sentative Meyer London of New York have three other candidates in New York in Algernon Lea, Scott Nearing l and Morris Hillquit.

 Today's election, the first since the United States went into the war, comes as the climax of campaign which has been attended by many un- usual elements.

to meet the unprecedented increased cost of fuel, labor and supplies. In most places the city authorities ana public realize the necessity and far ness of such requests and are giving these requests the consideration they are entitled to.
 The Helena Gas 6 Electric Compa- ny, of Helena, Arkansas sent out an announcement under date of October 21st, which reads as follows:
 "In April of this year, after operat- ing several months at a material loss, it was found necessary to slightly in crease the prices of electricity and gas. The increases made effective at that time were less than the condl- tions required, but it was hoped that by effecting economies in operation, and by careful and painstaking busi- ness planning, the company could, for the duration the war, maintain the prices made effective May 1st.
 However, because of continued ad- vances in cost of operating, We regret to say that this has not been possible and that the time has come when It is imperative that we make further slight advance in rates. The fact IS that the company has been operated at loss of nearly $500 month for the past seven months.
 It is almost unnecessary for us to explain the reason for this. The in- crease in freight rates, about July 1st, alone means an added expense to this company of nearly $5,000' year. The taxes of the company were ln- creased nearly $5,O00 this year over the year previous. Our labor has de- manded and has received increases commensurate with the increased cost of living expenses. The cost of all materials entering into the operation of our plants has increased, in some cases as much as 300 per cent" !
