Acted as Peace Intermediary.

At the outbreak of the war Ascher
Saphir. then but twenty-one. like so
many young Palestinian Jews. was
studying in Paris. He was deep in a
course of political science while act
ing as foreign correspondent in the
Turkish capital. where. in covering
the Balkan war he had been an in
term ediary between Turkey and Bu,-
garia in the signing of the peace
treaty that put an end to that strug-
gle. He has the pen used on that
historic occasion.
On the evening of July 80. 1914.
Just before Germany set fire to the
world. Ascher Saphir was walking
home from his studies with his friend
and fellow Palestinian. Amedi Roth

they. too. spoke of the crisis

Marched Under Flag of Zion.

When the first day came on which
the French government would Off
cially receive foreign volunteers,
August 81. these 1000 Jews marched
into the Place des Invalides under
the flag of Zion. the white banner
with it's single blue star of David.
The national Jewish anthem, "Hatjk-
wah." mingled with the strains of
the "Marseillaise." Among the spec
tators of this scene was DR.. Chain
Weizmann, later the head of the Zion
list commission to Palestine Who
knows what part the sight of these
Jewish volunteers played in inspiring
DR.. Weizmann to gain for world Jew
~ the Balfour declaration?
The legiOnnaires, to their disappoint.
ment. were distributed on that day
among the 10000 recruits of the entire
Foreign Legion. They were not per-
mitted to remain a distinct Jewish
legion. But there was no mistaking
their enlistment. They had offered
themselves as Jews and nationalists.
After three weeks of training. the
first regiment of the Foreign Legion
was sent to the trenches. Ascher Sa-
phir and many other Jews went for
ward with it. The first to fall was a
parish Jew. Isaac Levi. Adjutant
Saphir thus recounted his sacrifice:

Italy's Importations in 1913.

I'm 1913 Italy produced less than
three-quarters of a million tons Of
coal" he says. and imported from
Great Britain 100000 tons. Here

countries of southwestern Europe.

were supplied by Great Britain, which
now faces a loss of its export through
reduced production"
II wartime restrictions on coal use
at home are maintained by England
the report estimates, that country will
have 100000 tons for export, but
there still will be a deficiency of
100000 tons in Europe. There also
will be a demand for 100000 tons
which England formerly shipped to
other quarters of the globe, and
America has the only available source
of supply.

Proposed a Jewish Legion.

But Ascher Saphir had a proposal
OF his own to make. How much can
the individual Jew counte" he said to
his friend. We mus. do more than
merely offer ourselves. Let us rally
a Jewish legion to fight under our
nag. the Jewish flag, within the
French army"
Ihus. while war had not yet been
ofhcially declared. the Jewish Foreign
Legion was born. The two PaIestini-
ans gained the enthusiastic support
OF another countryman. Jacob Sha-
pro. then in Paris. prominent COM
munal worker of means and energy.
On the I'd day of August. when
the citizens of the foreign nations
hving in France came to join the
tri-color. as Russians, Italians. Span
lards. etc. hundreds of Jewish young
men from these lands hurried to the
ghetto of Paris. seeking the Jewish
Synagogue. which had been turned
into recruiting station for the Jew
ish Legion. BY the 9Th of August
their number had grown to 1000.

The New Phoenix

man who formerly lived in Phoenix but who
lad not been here for several years recently
turned In his absence he kept in touch with many
Ihoeniclans and he says that four five years
ago he noticed change of attitude toward the town.
At first when he asked them about Phoenix, they
usually replied ooh. it's about So, tits getting
dong very well" about the old thing"
Their interest was detached. much the IL
hey were speaking of any other town. something
apart from them.
Then the change came. The word I'VE" was
substituted for st" or they" when Phoenix
sboken Of 1t was now, Phoenix, has come the
front" phoenix has arrived" I'VE are doing this
that" Phoenix has population of 10000 and
viii have 10000 people in five years"
We think the remarkable growth Of Phoenix In
the last few years is attributable to this change of
attitude Of its citizens toward the town. Why or
Row the attitude changed is not plain. New blood
NAV have had something to do with it. Perhaps
there has been successful operation of TRANSMISSION.
Eut until there was such a change there was
rot much hope for Phoenix. There always

Homo Made Remedies

We have heard with regret, though we do not
know whether it is so not, that great many
people in this country tempering the wind to the
shorn lamb that this is going in Phoenix as well as
in other parts of the country; that numbers
citizens are making beer cordias other liquors
for their own and that of their friends as sub
stitutes for the stmuIants of which the government,
has deprived them
One of the concerns on the coast which is ad-
vertisng ingredients and methods for the concoc-
ZION OF domestic beer and ale, that there are
now 100000 families in the state of Washington en-
gagged in the manufacture of malt liquids
we have heard that of the experiments
maze IN Phoenix have not been successful, though
the prescriptions of the brewmaser" were carefully
followed An explanation has however been offered
that the brew was not given fair chance; that the
expermeners in their impotence drank up the stuff
before it had time to ripen. Time is vital ingre-
dent in the concoction Of any strong drink
1t has been demonstrated that it is not hard to
develop kick. A little yeast and little sugar put
into bottle of grape juice and to its own de-
vices for few days will set its owner to climbing
trees. 1t is also said that little molasses and other
ingredients boiled in a tea kettle TO which rubber
hose has been attached is convertible into a white
liquid as potent as Cedarbrook
But the whole story is not told Two women at
Camden N. j., died the other day of drinking home
made whisky which friend had presented them.
From other parts Of the country stories of death
and insanity resulting from these experiments.
Apparently these processes are not SO simple as
the public has been given to understand What good
is it for to work at nights with the shutters
closed and the lights turned low if indulgence in
his output is likely to make new business for the
coroners.
The manufacture of beer and whisky involves
long and intricate processes and it hardly reason
able to suppose that Tom, Dick and Harry at a
moments notice under the exigency of prohibition
take it up and become brewers and distillers of
products which may be consumed with impunity
What intestinal and nervous disorders if not
actual fatality may follow in the train of their en-
deavors may conjecture

THE SAVE NEW YORK MOVEMENT

sympathy with the Save New York
movement" says Mr.. John Howes
Burton. chairman of the committee,
realizing that it will not only pre-
serve the homes, hotels and retail
stores in this section of the city from
being eliminated by the factory evil
but will be of great benefit to man
ufacturing itself"
A talk with one manufacturer, how
ever, revealed the fact that a few fac
tory owners, at least, are not as SYM
pathetic as may be imagined.
What right have they got to keep
us from installing our plant anywhere
we want in New York;" demanded this
gentleman angrily, as he puffed great,
fat cigar. We got our money invested
in our plant just the same as them,
and it costs us lots of money to move.
Besides, there amt no place left to
move to. If they want us to get out,
let them put up building for u.s.
While the committee is not quite
willing to put up a building for them,
it does agree to take upon itself the
responsibility of renting three fourths
Of any building erected for the purpose
by any real estate firm or contrac-
vi ~ A0'f .iipiAN lleio eiPpNeil VI Neh51A
TO take the chance, but the committee
has gone ahead and had an architect
draw plans of the kind of building il
thinks the manufacturers would like
one containing hundreds of large win
dows and a roof garden on top for the
benefit OF the employees, most of whom
are now forced out into the streets
for their luncheon. In urging this
special feature the committee exhibits
remarkable photograph of Eigh-
teenth street and Fifth avenue during
the noon hour, in which the pavements
are so crowded that anyone attempt
ing to walk downtown would imme-
! diately be caught in the crowd, turned
about and swept back in the other di-
rection.
| After this you are shown a maj
| in which the space west of Seventh
avenue, below the Pennsylvania sta
| ton, is played up as the logical resi-
dence of the manufacturers. There il
plenty of vacant land in this district
according to the committee, and it is
comparatively inexpensive. 1t look:
so neat and orderly and convictinl
on the map that you no longer wonder
why everybody is joining the Saw
New York Movement.

The Impudence of II

That was most impudent protest made by the
Wholesale Coal Trade Association against maxi
mum price for coal and it merited the rebuke admin
istered by Attorney General Palmer. The threat of
the association that If maximum price is fixed it
would "curtau the operators ability to meet alb
normal production costs is of which the
ment should take notice. 1t is Of piece with the
previous threat of the mine workers that unless they
could have what they wanted. production would be
curtsiled stopped II this attitude by the men
who mine the coal and those who sell it is main
tanned there will be nothing for the government to
do but to take charge of the production and dstri-
button of such a vital commodity.
The men who are making this protest
among the foremost in urging the government to
prevent the strike by injunction processes in order
that the people might have coal. Yet they do not
want the government TO proceed further and have
coal at reasonable prices If the Wholesale Coal
Dealers Association to have its sweet will,
considerable part the people would be deprived of
coal just as effectually if coal being
mined.
No one doubts what would happen if the coal
dealers left to their devices under
other restrictions than those imposed by the law of
supply and demand Coal would bring any price that
would be necessary to secure it. The cost of pro-
duction would be entirely lost sight of. The dealers
would get while the getting good and they would
get all they could The people know them of old.
The law Of supply and demand is old one and
q natural law. Usually it is safe suspend it.
The unnecessary suspension of it is apt to result
serious arrangement Yet in all ages unusual emer-
Sencies have arisen in which it was necessary TO
suspend it. and there never a greater emergency
than at present.
The fuel administration two years ago suspendeo
il with doubtful results. The trouble then was that
that the administration proceeding blindly. 1t
might have got along all right if the sugges-
lion OF Secretary Lane had not been over
ruled by the impractical Secretary Baker, whose
Characteristic and consistent laundering disturbed
eFerything he touched.
The present emergency is clearer than was that
II two years ago. The government can grasp it
without guessing at it, whereas then the course of
action by the government laid down without
.clcar notion of the problem to be solved.
The government in fixing the maximum price Of
coal viii doubt. take into account all the tribua-
tons OF the industry, the abnormal cost of produc-
ton IL there should be any increased cost, and on
that there will be based fair price. Certainly the
Wholesale Coal Dealers Association could better af-
ford TO trust the fairness and intelligence Of the
than the country can afford trust TO the conscience
Of tho association its unresraned desire to take the
last, cent.

ATHLETICS IN COLLEGE

The old program Of college athletics was in
tended to turn out crackerjack football team,
corking good baseball club small but prize Win
ming aggregation of track stars, and the rest OF the
students sat in the grandstand.
The newer idea, as proposed by Adelbert College
of Western Reserve University sacrifices the few for
the many.
Each student will learn the rudiments of foot
hall basketball wrestling, boxing and other plays,
savs the college bulletin. In this way not merely a
nicted few experts on the Varsity but EVERY
in college will be member of some athletic team,
and derive the physical benefits.
THE system of physical education for every
man recognizes the injustice of the old method by
which a selected few received the benefits of ath
letics while the large majority Of students sat in the
stands and appauded
Equal opportunity for physical development to
every student thus goes hand in hand with equal OPP
portunity for mental development.
This seems TO be close approach to democ-
racy in college athletics. It promises healthier,
stronger, sturdier crop of college graduates in the
future.

against the acceptance of money from profteers the
meanest kind of thieves" We at first inclined
to think that money should be taken from
profteers and other criminals in any legitimate way
that might be managed. But on second thought, the
acceptance of money from such people is a recogni
ton of them and an encouragement them to go
with their wrong doing So, on the whole
should refuse to accept their money for high pur-
poses not because it is tainted but because the men
who made it are tainted.
The first tainted money" we ever heard of was
that of the Standard Oil Company some years ago.
Some church religious organization refused to ac-
cept Rockefeller donation. That was largely be-
made against the Standard Oil Company which
whatever it might have been not, at least up to
that time, profiteer. 1t had the laws against
discriminative freight rates and also the Sherman
law 1t had oppressed and conquered rival compan-
les by these means But the larger grew the more
it cheapened production and it grew, the prices
of coal oil were reduced and also the price of gaso
line until there such an abnormal demand for
it, created by the automobile industry
The people at large shared generally in lower
prices, the profits of the Standard OIL But all the
same it was law breaker and perhaps it was i'm
proper TO give it the recognition that an acceptance
of its donations would have been
The Standard Oil Company, whatever its short
comings had the merit Of being a producer
and developer. 1t was a. creator of new
wealth. a part of which it was willing to
give away. The real profiteer is neither
producer developer. He is an excerescence an
absorber If there is such thing as tainted money
