SOCIALISTS CELEBRATE Tooth
ANNIVERSARY OF MARKS
BIRTH.

The world war has greatly les
sened the impressiveness Of the cele-
bration by the Socialists of all lands
of the Tooth anniversary of the birth
of Karl Marx. However few
men have more profoundly influ~
enced the life and thought of their
own and succeeding generations
than the great author of "Das Kap-
ital," upon whom the world has con-
ferred the title Father of Modern
Socialism,"
Karl Heinrich Marx was born on
the 5th of May, 1918, in Treves,
which until four years prior to his
birth belonged to France, having
come under Prussian rule after the
crushing defeat of Napoleon [. Dur
ing the French regime liberalism
prevailed in the Rhineland, and the
Jews enjoyed measure of freedom
and equality with their Christian
neighbors, which speedily disap-
peared when Prussian rule was es>
tablished. To these facts may be
attributed Marks lifelong adnira
ton for France and his hatred and
contempt for the Prussian system.
Karl Marks grandfather was

best and most efficient administra-

York as a whole is no different than
other Jewries; but the city Of New

CANADIAN JEWISH CON-
SCRIPTS WILL FIGHT IN
PALESTINE.
Dominion Authorities Grant Jewish
Draftees Right to Join Their Own
Battalions for Liberation of Holy
Land.

For the first time in history, men
drafted into military service have
been given the privilege of electing
the front on which they shall fight.
The Provisional Zionist Committee
has received official notice that this
privilege has been accorded to the
Jewish young men of Canada, who
are being drafted under the recently
enacted Consumption law. The mill
tary authorities of the Dominion
have agreed that a Jewish young
man may, upon receiving his draft
call, present himself at the recruit
ing office and secure transfer to the
separate Jewish units which are be-
ing organized for active service on
the Palestine front. The already ex-
listing Jewish units, in training in
Canada, are composed, at present,
mainly of men who were ineligible
for enlistment in the American ma
tional army. The Dominion author
tiles have extended the same right
of transfer to Jewish young men al
ready in the service.
The Canadian military authorities
were moved to grant this unique
privilege by the fact that Great
Britain has pledged itself to aid the
Zionists in establishing Jewish
national homeland in Palestine and
that the Jewish Administrative Com
mission is already established in Je
rusalem. A Jewish Regiment re-
cruited in London is reported as hav
ing participated in the Turkish rout
at Es-Salt last week. The enthusi-
asm evoked by that declaration and
by the prospect that they will now
have the opportunity of striking a
direct blow for the liberation of their
ancestral home has already caused
over thousand young American
Jews to enlist in the "Jewish Bat.
talon" The Zionist Organization
of America is confident that the act
of the Canadian government will
speedily raise the number of Jewish
units from a battalion to division.

The twenty-frst annual conven-
ton of the Federation of American
Zionists will be held in Pittsburg,
Pa. beginning June Fl, and continu-
ing one week. While it will be an
occasion for congratulations, cele-
brations, and rejoicings, for those in
attendance, we hope that in their
transports of JOY the delegates will
not forget the actual, serious work
that has to be done this year, and
that is the complete reorganization
of the Zionist forces in this country,
the creation of five or six great cen
tiers of administration in the differ
ent sections of the country, each en-
tirely independent in the manage
ment of the affairs of it's own sec
ton, but under the supervision and
guidance of general council in New
York. Each section must be pro-
vided with at least two well-sa1aried
competent workers, manager of the
central office and a field secretary.
1t may be necessary to create more
than six centers of administration.
The number does not matter, as long
as efficiency will be secured. The
organization within each section
may be left to it's administrative
bureau, altho certain uniformity
of organization should be secured
for all sections. Zionists have
great and holy task before them
now, and the successful accomplish
ment of it will depend upon the per-
lection, the strength and efficiency
of their organization.

result of their continued agitation
for the recognition of their national
group rights in those countries.
What good will it do them to form
separate nationalities within those
nations? They do not seem to real
ize the possibilities of future con,
fict and strife in such an arrange
ment. There can be only one Jew
ish nation, the Jewish nation of
Palestine, ard not many fragments OF

it's failure to clean out New York's

Those patriotic workmen on gov

on strike because their pay checks,
averaging $57 a week, were reduced
through the abrogation of overtime

up as fine examples Of the American

slogans is: Down with Big Biz, the

WHY THE STRIKES.

What is the idea of revolutionists
in calling general strike as one OF
the first steps toward reform in gov
eminent? The great swarm of men
thus thrown into idleness is the most
conducive thing imaginable to blood
shed and rapine and all those hor-
rors that mark uprisings Of the peo-
pie, and gives opportunity for the
scum in all large centers to gain fo~
a while the opportunity Of a lifetime
to indulge their criminal instincts,
and thus stain meritorious step to-
ward liberty and popular government.
Workmen who without this strike
order would probably continue at
work, are thus thrown into the mael-
strom OF anarchy through the ex-
hortations of the soap boxers who in
other times would not be given a
hearing, and from good citizens drift
