Why Russia Persecuted Jews

John SDargo, in Harpers Magazine The Russian has not persecuted the Jew because he was Russian or be- cause the Jew was Jew. The funda- mental secret of Jewish oppression in Russia is the fact that the Jew was not fitted into the economic life of Russia The Jew never has fitted into a feudal civilization. And it is n,t conceivable that he ever can be made to fit into a feudal civilization. Wher- ever the Jew has found himself in a feudal society he has been grieyously oppressed. Feudal England persecuted the Jew; and 1t was not until the passing of the rule of the feudal no- bility that the measure of freedom which the Jew now enjoys in England came to him. Feudal Spain perse- cuted the Jew. and so did feudal France Feudal Germany was brutal in it's oppression of the Jew. and only .he development of. German capitalism brought measure of federation. And it remains true that because in Cor many--among the great capitalist ra- tions-the largest amount of feudal iniiitaTism remains. anti-scfnitism is stronger and more pronounced in Ger many than in any other of the capital ist countries
 unfitness of the Jew for feudal ciT ilization. Feudalsm require a deg~ee of servility that is impossible to the Jewish mind; it requires lteracy, su- perstition. patient submission to con stituted authority. and an acceptance of caste rule. which has its roots in gu perstition. It requires furthermore. lack of ima~ination. of which the Jew Is not capable.

URUGUAYAN WILL WORK FOR UNION
 OF ALL AMERICAS
Plans Building in Beunos Aires Modelled on One Erected in Wash
 ington

Buenos Aires, May S0.-(CorresponG- enee of the Associated Press.)-Dr. Ra- mon Lopez Lomba, Uruguayan consul general to France, has arrived in this city with the purpose of obtaining sup port for his project for the creation of a solid Pan-American union with a building in Buenos Aires. on the same lines as the Pan-American union in Washington
 Dr. Lomba is intensely enthusiastic over the project, which he thinks would be of immense mutual advantage to the social mental and commercial Ge- velopment of the countries of the American continent. He has told news paper men that he is confident that with the active cooperation of all i'm terested forces, building worthy of the nations of North and South Amer ica could be erected in this city.
 Special Canadian and United States sections would be set apart in the proposed building to further increase the commercial relations between Ar sentina, Canada and the United States.
 Dr. Lomba claims to have received overwhelming evidences of hearty sup port of his plan from various societies, institutions chambers of commerce., historical literary and patriotic socie- ties. and, as special attention is to be given to the Canadian section, he is now trying to get the support of the many British organizations in Bua- nos Aires.
 It appears that Dr. Lomba's sugg es- ton is for a Pan-American union on popular lines instead of diplomatic lines, as at Washington, and he Is de- voting his energies to interesting the public rather than the governments of the countries he visits. It Is his idea to have the building serve as a mu- scum in which would be documents covery of America, historical docu- ments relating to the battles of inde- pendence of American republics, busts of founders of nations, a general mu- scum of American exhibits and a H. brary and art collection on American subjects.
 It also is proposed to have an Amer ican week in October every year for the observance of the anniversary of the discovery of the Americas. Plans are new under way for an American week in October of this year, the pro- gram to include Olympic games, re- gattas and races of all descriptions flower battles, literary and artistic conferencesss and living pictures of events in the life of Columbus and his association with the sovereigns of Spain.
 Congress will be asked to provide funds for the building. The munici- pality will be asked to donate the site for the palace. The plan seems to meet popular approval

GERMANS TAKE
 MOTION PICTURES !.
 OF SINKING SHIPS
These Exhibited Through out Country to Prove Elf fectiveness of Subma-
 rine Warfare

Christiania, Norway, May 29.-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press)--- Moving picture operators on German supersubmarines at sea are late addi- tions to the U-boat fleets Films are made of merchant vessel sfnkings and taken home to be shown to the German populace to give an idea of the dan gers of the deep.
 Details of how German submarine of the larger type communicated the big Norwegian steamer Norefos and used her as towboat for weeks at time in the Atlantic were related here recently by members of her crew.
 The Norefos was overtaken by the German submarine off the Canary Is- lands early this year. Two German na- val officers and IA sailors were sent aboard as a prize crew.
 Then the submarine departed on a pirating expedition, the Germans on the Norefos adjusting the wireless ap- paratus so as to be able to keep in communication with the undersea boat On this trip the submarine was gone eight days and upon her return to the Norefos the sailors heard that she had been in search of a British fleet of merchantmen from the other side or the Atlantic.
 The submarine then tied up to the Norefos and for two weeks the Norefos roamed the sea with the submarine in tow, as the U-boat was short of fuel.
 The Norefos soon ran short of fuel and an effort was made to utilize green peanuts from the cargo, but they soon developed a gas which caused nu- merous small explosions in the fire boxes and created such a stream of sparks through the funnel that the ship nearly caught fire. So no more peanuts were used and for several days the Norefos widowed along with the wind and tide. When other ships were sighted the Germans unfurled the Norwegian flag.
 After two weeks cruise the U-boat returned to her mother ship.
 After helping themselves to a part of the cargo of rubber, the prize crew returned to the supersubmarine, the Norw egians were ordered into life- boats, and the Norefos was sunk by three bombs exploded in her hold. The motion picture operator on the U-boat took film records of all the important events, starting with the seizure and the developments of the voyage with each return of the U-boat to the ship.
 The Norwegian sailors were in life- boats several days. being picked up hy a French steamer and several weeks ago they arrived in Christiania after an absence of five months.

Americans Training With the British Are
 Cultivating Gardens
This Keeps Them From Thinking Too l. Much of War-Pets Are
 Allowed

Headquarters of the American Troops With the British Army Tn France, June L. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-American boys in the war zone. learning from British officers and the way of battle tactics, are getting an antidote for the mental effects of their fighting education This is off set by compound of gardening and pets.
 'It is not good thing for these boys that their minds be centered sole- fy on stabbing, shooting and throt- ting" said a young colonel of the British army to the correspondent of the Associated Press today. This of ficer, who won his promotion at little over 30 by gallant conduct at I,oos and other places where the Black Watch distinguished itself, now commands one of the British army schools whore musketry, machine-gun fire, the use of the bayonet and jiujitsu are taught
 He pointed to an American boy who was industriously spading a future po- tato patch. This is how we try to Tighten their thoughts he added.
 New Zealand band was playing lively airs on the green, a litter of pigs was squealing an accompaniment from sty hidden behind thicket, and just around the corner hens were c1uck- ing to their broods from an enclosure alongside which was a pen of highly bred rabbits. Meanwhile two pet dogs parked in answer to the rattle of nna- chine guns from the ranges where newly arrived allies were trying their marksmanship.
 The men who were not shooting, cul- tivating ground already sown or pro- pairing for further seeiing were trim ming the lawn or tending flower beds There is everything hero to suggest the opposite of war.
 The commanding officer, who hap pens to be one of the men under whom the regretted Johnny Poe seFved, would say little of the work of his pupTs with the bayonet and tho gun further than that the American boys were keen to learn and quick to absorb The fighting education he left to his in- structors.
 This policy prevails at other Brit ish schools of the same character. Som, of them add beck coping to their pro. gramme. All of them have their pets and most of them their gardens. all of them will give their American pu- pills much to relieve the depressing effects of continual thoughts of blood shed.

Big Grain Shipments to Allies from Argentina
 During Month of April

Buenos Aires. June 1--By Mail. )-Large shipments of cereals to the allies were made from this port in April in accord ance with the cereal convention between this government and those of Great Britain and France.
 That the cereal convention is bringing reciprocal advantages to the Argentine is evident from the fact that F of the vessels brought 33.s4s tons of general cargo and Il brought 29,95o tons of coal. In addition to these, several other ships of various nationalities arrived in bal last to load grain.
 Cereals continue to arrive at the port of BuenoS Aires and Rosario by the trainload every day and at Rosario alone the eight allied cereal brokers have 20, 600 tons of wheat stored, in addition to large holdings of other cereals Cal culating the value of this wheat at the price agreed upon by the allies, the warehoused wheat at Rosario alone is worth 25,o00 900 pesos.
 Black-listed and enemy firms also have stored large holdings of cereals, the value of which cannot be calculated at pres cnt.

HoQUIAM, March 11.-Henry
Hansen, convicted bootlegger, b
held by the police as one of .
gang of thugs who last Friday
night brutally attacked Pat
O'Brien, state witness in the trial
of Myron Kilgore, otherwise
known as Tex Vernon. prize

The thugs beat O'Brien into

him onto the tideflats.
Hansen has been associated
with Kilgore for several months.
He was released only last week
from jail for Bookkeeping. EW-

connection with a gambling case
against Kilgore, In which O'Brien
was to have been a witness.

lions after he had taken her to a
dinner in San Francisco some
years ago.
The bitterness of social ostra-
cism was like distilled poison.
She brooded over it until it
seemed that gossip had robbed
her of what was dearer than life
itself. And Brooks, seated in a
hotel at Porterville, Cal, looked
up into the eyes of an avenging
fury for a moment before her
bullet entered his breast.
Husband Aids Her.
1t had been rumored at the
time of the shooting that Mrs.
Howe and her husband, who was
at that time in Buenos Aires on
business for the National Cash
Register Co., of which both he
and the slain man had been en-
ployes, had separated.
He has come to her defense,
however, and upholds the Islander
allegations which support Mrs.
Howe's emotional insanity plea.
Curiously the tragedy has
again drawn to- Mrs. Howe many
of the women whose rebuffs had
been woven into the background
of the tragedy. They have come
to be her witnesses, to give their
sympathy and support during the
trial.
Gossip Chief Witness.
Mrs. Howe, who is 80, has
been the sheltered, petted, in
dulged wife of the man she mar
ried at the age of 20-her "first
and only sweetheart" who had
been a companion since child
hood.
Almost at her elbow sits Mrs.
Brooks, widow of the slain man.
She is as calm and stole as Mrs.
Howe is agitated. The few feet
of space between them represents
a gulf in which murder and years
of bitter enmity lie.
And from this gulf, every day
as the trial opens, comes the evil,
shadowy presence of Gossip to sit
among the other principals in the
case, waiting to be called as wit
ness by Mrs. Howe.
For 1t Is upon this witch of
evil tongues, whom she accuses
of having wrecked her life, that
Mrs. Howe will depend largely to
support her defense.

POSTPONED

The second big Red Cross cam

been postponed two weeks. until
the week of May 90. 1t was orig
inally scheduled for May 6.
Fear that the campaign might
detract, even slightly from the

the postponement.
More than $100,000,000 was
contributed in the first call for
financial aid.
