A GERMAN FoopLEss MEAL.

We passed down a corridor through two swinging doors into ar immense lunch and dining room, o1 rather series of rooms full of coun' ters and tables and busily eating people.
 The manager led me to table in the corner and called a waitress "Will you have our ersatz table d'hote lunch? It isn't bad, really "All right-ersatz. sat dowr valiantly.
 He gave my order to the girl ano left me to the mercies of ersatz. This was my lunch: Bouillion-made of ground bones boiled and heavily salted. Not very nourishing but rather good ir taste
 Entree Shredded kiebfist Something like our haddock) en- bedded in disagreeable imitation gel, atine. Decidedly bad.
 Bread-The ordinary German wal bread, made of barley and potato flour. Gives your stomach cramps if not thoroughly toasted, so l did n't eat it.
 Beer-Some thing like brown water. One and one-half per cent malt, the rest vegetable juice and water.
 Dessert-A splendid red thing covered with yellow foam. The red was kind of marmalade made of carrots, the yellow which looked like beaten egg yolks, was made of lime and toasted like paper.
 Coffee-Acorn brew, 101 pel cent of the caffeine removed.
 Cigar-A vegetable roll. Guido Enderis the Associated Press mar in Berlin, says a German cigar "is a course in botany" He is right.
 I'd already had some fragmen. tary experience with ersatz eating this was my first purely foodless meal. Hundreds of other people around me were devouring the same sort of lunch with evident relish But, frankly, I didn't like it. got up from the table rather hurried ly paid my bill and strode out.

TRUCULENT BALDERDASH

Senator Reeds color line at tack on the league of nations IS truculent balderdash.
 We are disinclined to dignity the Missourians outburst by an at- tempt to enter into a discussion of it. No man who has read the cov- enant needs to be told that the senator's attack is not in the re- motest sense a criticism of the league, but is wholly and con- sciously an appeal to the preJu- dice.
 Senator Reed finds himself in minority among his democratic colleagues. He is lonely in his opposition. He casts about for an argument that will appeal to them. He can find none based upon reason. Hence he turns to prejudice.
 What is the strongest prejudice in that part of the country from which most of his colleagues come?' The race and color prejudices
 "Aha," says Reed, "I have it. will introduce the color cry. I will make the south believe that the league of nations is going to be ruled by the black and yellow race: of the world. This is the way tc arouse Georgia, and Alabama, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, Missis sippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vir- ginia, and my own state, where was repudiated.
 "Boy get me an atlas. Let m, look up the population figures What does it matter that member ship in the league is not based or population?

Away with facts anc reason; my appeal is to prejudice.

PERSHING'S FOREFATHERs

The Pershing family history shows that one or more of the Per shing names are inscribed in every war in which this country fought from the Forbes campaign for the relief of Fit Pitt, in 1775, to the time that Gen. John J. Pershing led the Americans in France, and helped to carry out the wish of one of his ancestors to redeem "Alsace- Lorraine" The Rev. Dr. Justin N. Pershing, of Greenburg, Pa., a cousin of the General, has a letter written by one of his ancestors re- lating the story.
 The Pershing family fought in a war in 1774, but that was when the family was located in Kehe, Al sace Lorraine, when Emeperor Charles called out his men against the Magyards. All able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 50 years were called on to defend their lands against the Austrians. The head of the Pershing family had no love for the emperor, and saved e. nough money to send his son to America. He scattered gold coins under his hearthstone, and in letters directing his son to them said he hoped the money would enable him to reach America and that one of his forbears would be able to re- turn and redeem Alsace- Lorraine, The boy reached America, and later on his urgings, the family migrated Detroit News.

Misuse of the Red Gross Emblem
By Mrs. J. I. Nsrris)

Misuse of the Red Gross Emblem
 Attention has been called to all Chapters as follows:
 As result of the widespread popularity of the Red Cross, name and organization, it has come to our attention that great number of schemes are on foot to use the Red Cross name as an emblem in con- necton with commercial enterprises. These enterprises are of varied form such as selling trinkets and war pie lures, with statement that DOT tion of the profits of the sale is to be donated to the Red Cross. In other cases solicitors of questionable repute have offered for sale certifi- cates to the families of men in the service, representing that by such purchase the family can obtain speedy discharge of their soldiers and advising that the proceeds of the sale of the certificate are for the sbenefit of our organization Other solicitors of foreign birth have been collecting funds among foreign population of this country by ex- hibiting letters or credentials pur- porting to come from Red Cross of ficials and stating that the funds collected were distributed by the American Red Cross. All of the above enterprises are engaged in wholly without the consent of na- tional headquarters and may well be considered violations of the pro- visions of our charter, which pro- hibits the use of the Red Cross name or emblem for commercial purposes. The attention, therefore, is called to the chapters and auxil- iaries to the fact that the Red Cross name and emblem must in no case be used for commercial pur- poses, with the one class exception, namely; Where the use was le- ultimately made prior to the year 1905.
 The cooperation of the chapter in calling the attention of Division Headquarters to any use of the Red Cross name or emblem for commer- cial purposes is earnestly desired.

 These spelndid ladies' are con- pleting the final production of Lee county chapter, and on July 1, 1919, production department will be plac- ed on the reserve, unless something unforeseen should happen. All the production workers of the Southwestern Division have every reason to be proud of their record, and especially the production work CTS of Lee county. Their output far exceeded the request for bandages, hospital garments and supplies, and articles for soldiers and sailors, and in the production of surgical dress ings, hospital garments and supplies, articles for soldiers and sailors and production of refugee garments, the Southwestern Division showed a rel ative increase in the production until it stood at the top of all di- visions in the completion of its kuota of these articles, being the only di- vision which completed it's allot- ment.
 feel sure that every man, woman and child in Lee county will take great pride in the wonderful record made by our Southwestern Division especially so when we know that the good people of Lee county all work ed hard and faithfully to help make that most wonderful record.
 Boy Scout Campaign
 The president of the United States by proclamation has recommended to the people of the United States that the period beginning June 8, to Flag Day, June IA, be observed as Boy Scout Week throughout the United States, for the purpose of strengthening the work of the Boy Scouts of America.
 wish to say to all the scout mas ters and their splendid companies of Boy Scouts in Marianna and throughout the county, that the Bow scout movement is one that has the most cordial support and endorse ment of the American Red Cross.
 In all Red Cross campaigns and m Its current work for our Rcd Cross, we have made calls mon tbo Boy Scouts frequently for service or divers kinds, and our calls have never been in vain, and I feel s1re ehat every member of our Tao county chapter will be williny to oner their services to the bows. to aiu them Tn campaigning to a preat success. Nothing is more important at this critical period in the h;stor,,

IMPRESSIONS OF THE XVI
COUNCIL OF THE UNION.

There are those who ind0lently
agree with Koheleth that nothing real
ly new ever occurs under the sun. No
doubt, a person with such sterile dis
position would say with regard to
Jewish affairs, "All religious confer
ences are alike; the Councils Of the
Union Of American Hebrew Congre-
cations, except for slight variations
due to place and time, are at bottom
Identical"
This Convention Was Different.
In the opinion Of the writer, how
ever, the Boston Council Of the Union
stands out in bold relief against the
background Of its predecessors. For,
in many respects, the last Council
marks a new departure in the activi-
ties Of American Jewry. The atti-
tude Of the delegates-notably Of the
laymen-to the business on hand was
characterized by unprecedented in
terest, fervor and devotion. There
was none of the constraint, tendium
and listlessness that normally pos
sess persons who attend long meet
ings. Everybody was vitality concern
ed about each phase Of the momentous
questions brought up for considera-
ton. Even those who did not take
the floor felt themselves gripped
throughout by sure consciousness
that the proceedings they were privi-
legged to witness would usher In
new era for American Jewish life.
We wish to speak in particular Of
the elimination Of the Council-of the
short interval between the conclusion
Of business and the pronouncement
Of the benediction by DR.. Philipson Of
Cincinnati. The solemnity Of these
few moments impressed itself upon
every mind. Here were a number Of
representative Jews, gathered from
all parts Of the country to decide upon
q program for guarding their beloved
faith from the disintegrating tenden-
cies of the times. Measures had been
adopted, which, in the opinion Of
Jewish leaders, cmfw emf emf emf
cmfw y emf cmfproblems. For once
in the history Of the Union Of Amer
lean Hebrew Congregations, lack Of
funds had not furnished a somber
theme; quite the contrary, everybody
exulted in the success Of the Wise
Centenary campaign, which eloquent.
ly promised financial stability hence
forward. The very atmosphere seem.
ed electrified with the realization Of
great things contemplated and achiev'
ed.
An Investment In Judaism.
A few delegates gave expression t.
the sentiments which the awed splen
dor Of the scene awakened within
them. They were men Of practica
tastes suddenly elevated to the plan,
Of prophecy. Their lips were touch
ed with the glowing Goals. Mr.. AL
fred M. Cohen, Of Cincinnati, in wing
ed words, affirmed his implicit belle
that the delegates would return hom'
with an added measure Of inspiration
resting upon them by virtue Of hav
ing participated in the Council; the,
would carry away with them a deep
er consciousness Of their duties an
responsibilities, and an increased ca
pacity TO meet them.-And Mr.. Ben
no Lewinson Of New York told no,
q certain rabbi, sensing the uniqu
grandeur Of the Council, has said tina

feel themselves cemented to one an
other by ties fashioned out Of COM
mon purpose and similar ideals; and
when sublime associations bound up
with the Council will have mellowed
in memory, each delegate will be
drawn to his former colleagues by
firm bonds Of friendship. Together
they labored, and achieved signal sue
cess; therefore the fruits of their en-
deavor will knit them closer togeth-
err.
The inspired words thus pronounc-
ed at the twilight of the Boston Coun-
Gil signify a new birth for the Union
Of American Hebrew Congregations.
We are reminded of the Biblical story
of how Moses received with calm re-
Duke the frantic news that Eldad
and Medad were prophesying in the
camp. "Art thou jealous for my sake?
Would that all the Lords people were
prophets, that the Lord would put His
spirit upon them" Even so, at the
last Council, laymen like Mr.. Cohen
and Mr.. Lewinson played the role Of
prophets-men jealous for the cause
of God and Judaism. When laymen
actively cooperated with rabbis for
the furtherance Of the enterprises Of
the Union, then inded can the friends
of American Judaism rejoice. The
more prophets we have in the camps
Of American Israel, the better. We
must be careful not to let our optim-
ism run away with US; but We are
driven to the conclusion that the Bos-
ton Council, especially in its closing
phase, is the best omen we have had
the pleasure Of seeing all through the
five dreary years Of warfare so full
Of obstacles to the smooth course Of
Jewish endeavor.
At this point we may well stop to
ask the question; just what are the
conditions that prompted the new jew
ish awakening as evidenced in the
last Council? We can hardly sup
pose that a change Of attitude is a
chance occurrence. On the contrary,
we may expect to find imbedded in the
complex Of the world situation and in
the currents of American Jewish life
the reasons for the gratifying en-
thusiasm now displayed by laymen.
War Duties Gave Way to Peace Ideals
There can be no doubt that the end
Of the war greatly affected the mood
Of the Jews in this country. With
patriotic conservation, the American
Jew had done more than his share in
filling the ranks Of Army and Navy
He had distinguished himself by his
heroic efforts TO make the various
government loans successful, winning
the plaudits Of his fair-minded fel
low citizens. Yet despite the capacity
he developed for coping with the
stress and strain Of war, the Ameri
can Jews innate talents center abou
peaceful pursuits. And the momen
he was free to follow his own tenden
cies, the pent-up energies thus re
leased leaped with furious abandon
into their wonted channels. A new
impetus was given to religious activ
tiles, which had been somewhat handi
capped by the absence Of Jewisl
young men on the field Of duty.
As we have just intimated, the ser
vices rendered by Jews as fighter
and as mainstays Of the government
at home evoked the admiration Of tn
