OUR MODERN CONTRIBUTIONS
TO AGRICULTURE.


Yet. what can be clearer or more
substantially proved than that Israel
was primarily nm agricultural people!
Our God Himself is represented in the
netaphoric poetry Of our Bible as
Gardener While Greece and Rome de-
graded the husbandrnan to the low
position of slave, Israel drew his
princes and patriarchs. his poets.
prophets and psalmists from field and
farm. While medieval Christendom
debased farming to serfdom, the stud.
of the Law used to be suspended In
Jewish academies for several months
in the year in order that teachers and
students might devote themselves to
field and farm. The entire liturgy
Of the Jew is inseparably bound M
with the language and the labors OF
the soil Yet, in spite of all that, In
spite also that the records which
Christianity itself considers rs sacred
show the Jew to have been primarily
TN agriculturist. the world seems nm
able to think of~us in any other light
than that Of trading.
Nor is it merely because Of our past
that we have n right to lay claim to
love and longing for the farm. 1t
was only in recent years that agricul-
tcral pursuits became possible for oui
people. But already we have had one
lew, Iubin. who established and maiil-
tanned an International Institute fol-
agriculture; another jew. Aronson.
who discovered the wild wheat we
have Jewish agricultural schools and
colleges and bureaus and aid societies.

we're hundred thousand Jews all over
the world blowing md planting. SOW
ing and reaping. Jewish farms We're
then flourishing in the Palestiniah
colonies. in the Arabian highlands, in
the North American States.
Is it not sad reflection on the
hard-dyiig prejudices of our neigh
bors that with such record We are
still thought Of and spoken of merely
as people of traders? Nay, worse. in
the vocabulary of the ignorant and
the rudely thoughtlcss. the very word

produce an historical drama entitled
..Brochoh,' or 1.-The Jewish King of
Poland" within n week. Mr.. Sander
was directed to prepare few songs

of the play, the late Professor HUI

Aerial Feats Not Risky.

High altitude scrobatic feats in or
airplane are losing their thrill
through frequency of performance
Two men in particular, Lieutenant
Ballough of the British army and
Lieutenant Locklear of the United
States army, have demonstrated theiI
faith in the stability of aircraft.
Lieutenant Locklear speaks very
automatically of his drops from one
plane to another. of his acrobatics on
the undercarriage, and of other fir
tations with gravity, insisting that the
feats seem remarkable only because
of their novelty. He points to the
asrial pioneers who were declared
lunatics a few years ago for doing
loops and other stunts which are now
in every airman's repertoire
In the same way, he declares his
experiments with the stability and CO.
operation OF airplanes are simply
showing the world what Is to be ex-
pected Of the developing science of
aviation. For Instance, precious mail
could be- rushed across the continent
without a STOP being transferred in
nidair from one plane to another. Or
he might vary the program by flying
a ship from New York to San Fran
cisco without touching ground Sc

when necessary, from tender planes

draw alongside and fill his tank

ITALY LACKING IN COAL

ROME, July 15.-Italy's lack of Goa
has forced her to depend more and
more upon electric power. During the
period OF 1914 to 1918 more than s100-
600. 900 was expended on water power
electric plants by electric companies in
Turin and Milan.
Italy's annual consumption of coal
reaches 12.00O,060 tons. For all of It
she is dependent upon either England
or America. The war naturally made
the transportation of it difficult
problem so Italian engineers were
stations. Italy could save at least
of the coal consumption.
by using her water power, according
to Sgnor Maffeo Pantaleoni. engineer
and dean of Italian economics. Much
of it remains undeveloped.

RUINS OF CHURCHES
IN WAKE OF HUNS
Work of Restoration Be
gins; Over 5000 Destroyed
or Seriously Damaged.
FROM CARL RANDAU.

| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
| PARIS, July 15.-Over 5000
churches were either completely de-
stroyed or seriously damaged by the
! German invasion of Northern France.
The state in which these martyred
| churches now are found varies from
| those that have been absolutely wiped
| out to others which suffered only the
damages of occasional stray shells.
The work of restoring the churches
has begun. The first annual general
assembly OF the Society to Restore
the Churches of the Devastated Re-
gions was held in Paris recently. At
that time Vicar Odelin of Paris re-
ported that over s265.0O0 had been
expended in beginning the work of
restoration. He stated that sixty
three churches have been adopted by
individuals who will personally bear
the expenses involved in the work of
rebuilding. Help has come. said the
Vicar. from the United States, from
Brazil, from India, in fact every ma
tion of the allied work is helping
France counteract the work of the
destroyer.
Some of the churches will never be
restored. Some are gone. completely

their former location. Others. fa-
nous cathedrals such as those of
Rheims and Amiens. may be left as
they now stand as a warning to pos
terty and as an indellble record OF
the savagery of the past five years.
In importance, architectural beauty |
and size the ruined cathedrals and |
churches vary from the stately ruin
of Rheims. which will always symbol
ize the barbarity of the Huns. to the
little country churches.

stood the little church. 1t was almost
demolished by the terrible effect of /
the artillery during the Verdun strug-
gle of 1916, but until late in the sum-
mer of 1917 the altar of the church
still stood -unscathed. The roof and
walls of the church had long since
been shot away, but the weather-beat-
en-. unprotected altar continued to
give solitary evidence of the former
presence of a house of worship. To-
day nothing remains. But the little
church of Esnes is only one OF great
number which will never be restored.

TAFT'S WORK FOR LEAGUE
OF NATIONS is GRATUITOUS

New York, Feb. 23.-Denial Of Sena-
tor Sherman's statement in a speech
before the senate that the expenses
of William H. Taft's tour in support
of the League of Nations We're being
met by the Carnegie Foundation, was
made in a statement issued here to-
night by Herbert s. Houston, treas
urer of the League to Enforce Peace.
Asserting that the League to En-
force Peace, of which Mr.. Taft is
president, never had received a dollar
from the Carnegie Foundation, Mr..
Houston characterized the sherman
statement as false both in fact and
Implication"
Not only has Mr.. Taft not received
a dollar from the Carnegie Founda-
tion' said Mr.. Houston, but he has
neved received a dollar from the
league for his services. On the con-
trary he has been constant and
generous contributor to our funds, in
addition to his incaIcuIable conribu-
tions of time and work. The opposi-
! ton senators will not help their case
| by cheap and false slurs against Pres
| ident Wilson and ex-President Taft"
