BOOk oOI9.
The American Jewish Year Book
for 5679 (1918-1919) which is edited
for the American Jewish Committee
by DR.. Samson D. Oppenheim, and
issued by the Jewish Publication
Society Of America, contains, in ad-
dition to the usual features, num-
Der of timely and interesting articles.
Considerable space is devoted to
the War, as is evident from the
Events, which cover about two
hundred pages, and from the articles
dealing with the collecting of Jew
ish War statistics, the Jewish We'll
fare Board, and the Jews of Serbia.
In the article on the Jewish
population of the United States the
editor, DR.. Oppenheim, describes his
methods of arriving at new esti-
mate of the Jewish population in
the United States. He divides his
work into two parts: one dealing
with New York City, and the other
with the rest of the country. An
accurate estimate of the Jewish
population of the United States is
at present particularly important,
as it helps to determine the proper
tionate contribution that the Jews
are making to the War. In his
article will be found mass of
figures showing, in tabular form,
how the Jewish population of the
country is distributed; much en-
tightening statistical data concern
ing the Jewish population of various
classes of American cities, together
with an exhaustive and novel treat
ment of the Jewish population of
New York City, which, as is known,
contains almost one-half of the Jews
in the United States. 1t may be of
interest to mention that according
to the best estimates the Jewish
population in the United States
amounts to over 100000, while
New York. City alone has 100000
Jewish inhabitants. DR.. Oppenheim
reports that New York City, which
contains the largest Jewish Com
munity that has ever existed within

THE ST. PAUL Y. M. H. A.
By Albert M. Markowsky.

By Albert M. Markowsky.
The Young Mems Hebrew Asso-
citation of St. Paul, an organization
of young Jewish men, has been in
existence for the past eight months,
at the beginning of which there
were about twenty members, while
now there are eighty-fve, and after
membership campaign now in
progress, it is expected that the
number will reach two hundred or
more, for it is the intention of this
association to enlist every young
man of good moral character, of
Jewish faith, and willing to aid in
the work of furthering the interests
of Jews and Judaism.
Officers at present are Mr.. Chas.
Engelson, president; Mr.. Abe Har-
ris, vice president; Mr.. Harry Abra-
hanson, financial secretary; Mr.
Sam r. Rutchick, recording secre-
tary; Mr.. Albert M. Markowsky,
corresponding secretary and club
editor; Mr.. Alex Blumberg, ser
geant at arms.
1t is the purpose of this organi-
zation to promote social, literary
and cultural intercourse and enter
tainment for the young men Of the
city, and to provide building with
such facilities as library, reading
room, gymnasium, assembly, etc.
Club rooms are soon to be opened
which will afford a gathering place
for members and visitors, and it is
hoped that, with the aid Of those in.
terested in the welfare of this asso-
citation, sufficient funds will be real
lied to provide the above named
necessities. Later, through it's own
and other generous aid the associa-
ton intends to establish building
and provide every inducement for
young Jewish men to come there
and mingle with others of their own
religion instead of going to unde-
sirable places where their morale is
constantly jeopardized.
To carry out this plan of estab-
fishing permanent quarters, it will
be necessary to secure the co-opera-
ton of the Jewish people and it is
hoped that the interest manifested
in this worthy work will be most
liberal.

Breaking Of Alliance Demanded.
At the same time regarding the pro-
posal that duly accredited Bulgarian
representatives should confer with
the allies on the question Of peace it
has been made quite clear to the Sofia
government that such a peace neces-
sarily involves a complete rupture by
the Bulgarian government with Tur-
key, Germany and Austria-Hungary.
In discussing the Bulgarian proposal,
it is pointed out, the allies have no in
tention of attempting to make a final
territorial settlement in the Balkans,
which obviously must be matter for
consideration at the peace conference.
The question, it is stated, is one of
the conclusion Of such a military
agreement as would prevent any fur
ther danger from the Bulgarian side
to the operations Of the allies in the
Balkans.
If the terms laid down which have
been dispatched to Soft are not ac-
ceptable to the Malinof government,
the allied powers, it is added, have no
further conditions to propose, and it
representatives who can accept these
conditions.
Official Bulgarian Statement.
An official Bulgarian statement
dated September "a announces that
Bulgaria has initiated a proposition
for obtaining an armistice and peace.
The text Of the official announce
ment reads:
''In view of the conjuncture Of cir
cumstances which have recently
arisen, and after the position had been
! Jointly discussed with all competent
authorities, the Bulgarian govern
ment, desiring to put an end to the
bloodshed, authorized the commander
in-chief Of the army to propose to the
eeneralissimo of the armies of the
entente at Saloniki cessation of hos
tilities and the entering into Of ne
eotiat tions for obtaining an armistice
and peace.
"The members Of the Bulgarian del
egation left yesterday evening in or
der to get into touch with the pleni-
potentiaries Of the entente belliger-
! ents.'

through the German semi-official

was in response to anti-war agita-
ton among the bulk of the people,
the correspondent says in his dis
patch from Copenhagen. The CORE
spondent also hears that King Ferdi-
rand himself played an active role in
the peace move until Germany coun-
tered his move.
According to this report the king,
realizing that the people were determin-
ed to end the war, took the initiative
some time ago in irtrigues for peace,
hoping to save his throne and stave off
a revolution. 1t was for this reason
that he went to Germany. and the cor
respondent adds that it was a curious
fact that his whereabouts and actions
since he returned have been a mystery
A solution of the mystery is said to
be that the Germans in Bulgaria realiz-
ed that the king was turning against
them and they virtually kept him a
prisoner, at any rate to an extent Of
preventing him from taking a hand in
peace overtures. The Germans, how

Bulgarian Move Interpreted.
LONDON, Friday, September 81
Bulgaria's request for an armistice to
discuss peace appears to be the lead
ing event of what seems to be the most
important week Of the war since the
battle of the Marne. There are two
interpretations of Bulgaria's action.
Which is the correct one remains to
be seen.
The first is that the Bulgarian arnnv.
being defeated and scattered among
the mountains, resorts to a familiar r
device to gain time in which to pull
itself together. The other is that But
garia now sees that she is on a sink
ing ship and wishes to make the hest
terms she may. There have been sew
eral indications recently that the lat-
ter theory comes close 70 the Rul-
garian state of mind. The allies have
made a reply which should enable
them, If their proposal is accepted. to
judge which OF these Is the real pur-
pose of Bulgaria A conference without
an armistice will prove what the enemy
really desires.
Turkey in Same Boat.
Signs are not wanting that Bulgaria
and Turkey feel that they are in the
same boat. When Talaat Pasha, the
Turkish grand vizier, visited Berlin
recently he gave an interview in
which he said the war must end this
winter and that it had accomplished
all that it could. German newspapers
expressed considerable uneasiness and
displeasure over this utterance, which
they. plainly Interpreted as meaning G

FIGHTS FOR ALL PEOPLES
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1918. by n. 7. Evening Post, 1ne.)
! President Wilson's speech and the
| implications of it transcend every
thing else today in this busy capital.
He who asks how long the war will
last can find the answer in that
speech; he who asks whether the
President means to put into practical
effect the ideals of democracy which
he has been preaching since America
entered the war can learn therein of
the earnestness Of Mr.. Wilson's pur-
pose to do so.
For Germany and Austria, for their
their inevitable spokesmen of still
another day, for those statesmen of
England and France and Italy who
have hitherto grudgingly tolerated
the idealism of America, for the pro-
sressives and laboring masses in
England and France and the demo-
cratically inclined parties of Italy.
President Wilson has penned a docu-
ment that is the boldest challenge he
has issued in his unwaverinS and per-
sistent effort of the last eighteen
months to purge the entente cause of
everything that remotely resembles
Imperialism, territorial aggrandize-
ment and selfish nationalism.
No Peace by Compromise.
To Germany and Austria and the
vassal states thereof, it is the lam
guage of peace that President Wilson
speaks. but peace not by compromise,
but by an acceptance of those prin-
ciples which America has repeatedly
proclaimed as paramount. For what
it will mean among the peoples of the
central powers and for what will be
read into it by all political factions
in the entente countries it is by far
the most sensational speech the Presi-
dent has made on the political and
diplomatic side of the war.
Mr.. Wilson spent nearly a fortnight
writing it. He weighed his words
ing of the fourth liberty loan cam
paign, but he devoted only a few sem
tences to that. In accordance with
his custom. the President used the op-
audience that faced him, far across

lea is about to raise six billion dol
lars of bonds and eight billion dol

as well as to sustain our own armies
in the field, the President takes the
liberty to remind the whole world
that America means what she says
that America wants nothing for her

use her influence to see to it that no
