abroad show that economic ruin, cpl

other diseases have fallen to the lot OF
Balkan Jews to an extent equal to that

The first detailed account of the sit.
uation In Serbia in many months Is
from Or, Isaac Alcnlay, chief rabbi Of
Serbia, with headquarters in Bel
grade. He said Belgrade was still
without regular communication with
the provinces, because the railroads
and bridges destroyed by the Austrians

Chateau-Thierryi The words ar,

Chateau-Thierry The words are opulent in Suggestiveness. It was there that the soldiers from America dared hell for the cause of humanity and theiF flag and turned German hope into despair. It was Chateau Thierry that gave the Germans tho first taste of Americas fighting QUali- ties and revealed to our brothers in arms the invincibility of the boys who had come across the seas to put shoul- ders to theirs. ChateanThierry looms large in the war. It will loom spectac. nlar in history. It will be shrine for American hearts. says Louisville Cour- ier-Journal. Soon there most stand upon that battlefield monument to the heroism of American boys who achieved the impossible and who sealed the death warrant for the kaiser's army. And Argonne forest and St Mihiel-the whole procession of them leads to Sedan. Chateau-Thierry wAS the gateway to the end.

It Is fitting that the historic room which saw the birth of Bismnrek's Germany. the autocratie. militaristie. brutal, lawless. aggressive Germany. should also see Its death. IL Is well that the nation. whose rulers stood triumphant over the fallen foe in the throne room of their ancient kings should send their delegates today to this very room. there to atone for the injustice of the last. says New York Sun. It Is satisfaction due to France. It ss a humiliation which should sym beize for German mllitarists the end of their dreams of world power. the 6fscredit of the false ideals upon which their empire was founded, the passing away of the old Germany, the begin hing Of the new.

The, suggestion of a world jubilee to be held in the United States on .inly 1. 1919. to celebrate the allied yietory-a suggestion that has been put into the concrete form of reS0- lntion and introduced In congress- will doubtless meet With sD enthnsi. astic response throughout the country and in other countries. Whether ii will be practicable to hold such a cele- brstiOB next year depends largely up- on the manney Tn which events shape themselves during the next few months.

DO NOT DODGE.

Whatever the difficulties to be mel they are moi made easier by trying to dodge them. In trying 10 dodge a mis- Sile from one direction you may come in line with one from different direc. ton. When we dodge trouble we are more than likely to get into other trou- ble no less easy to endure. Look with courage on what must be met. Faced with courage. difficulties are half con quered. Better meet and conquer diff faculties than to dodge them. Do not dodge-duties that devOlvs on yea Duties performed add strength and dignity to character, says Milwaukee Journal. It matters little what these duties are; though they be of the sim plest and humblest. well and truly done. they acquire dignity. Stand up brave ly and squarely to meet the difficulties of life. With courage you will con. quer. You will come through life with fewer scars than by trying to dodge duty or difficulty. Trying to eyade be gets in a man a cringing spirit He gets habit of trucking. and upright. self-respecting manhood is gone. Don't dodge if you would hold yourself above meanness.

Verbal controversy is one of the most useless things in this world. People who engage in it could seldom be convinced by any argument, how. ever logical and however tenperately presented But the trouble Is that, logical OF not. the dispute rarely is conducted in a moderate way. The asxumentative ones grow excited Tn spite of themselves; sometimes they become angry. sometimes they are merely hurt" In any case they are likely to become incoherent or d. courteous according to their tempera- nent and to part with coOlness, all because they do not know when to stop

pards. Through this means the ship
ping board took over some lines, rem
dered assistance to others and sue
ceeded in getting the large numbers of
workers to and from their work with
out the great inconvenience previous
ly encountered. A notable example
of this was at Philadelphia where by
buying and putting additional street
cars on some lines and taking over
entire control of others about 10000
men were taken to their work at Hog
Island shipyard daily with but little
inconvenience.
Congress also gave the president
authority to fix ocean rates and requi-
sition ships. Before this power was
given. the ship owners were charging
exhorbitant and almost prohibitory
rates. With this authority the presi-
dent through the shipping board was
able to name rates that were much
lower but still fair and adequate
THE fixing of load line for Ameri-
canships was another piece of legisla-
ton passed by the last congress. Every
other maritime nation has laws fix
ing load line for ships. but the Unit
ed States heretofore has had none and
ships could load in any old way they
chose. sometimes a dangerous prac-
tice
Altogether it was the greatest con-
gress for shipping LEGISLATION that we
