THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

A high British authority re-
Gently expressed his deliberate
conviction that of the social I'M
rest now prevalent throughout
the world, eighty per cent. must
be ascribed to the fall in the pur-
chasing power of money. How
ever this may be in general, it is
safe to say that the dissatisfac-
ton which is taking shape in,
the formation of the Middle
Glasses Union in England is
mainly due to this cause. When
the money unit falls in value
and the fall which we have been
experiencing in the last fewyears
is beyond all precedent-the ad,
justment which in the course of
times restores normal relations
lis nowhere so slow as in a large
section of what may be called
the middles classes. In the case
of the wage-earner there is a
painful interval, but on the
whole the time Of his suffering
from the dislocation Of prices is
not apt to be very long. Salaries
|are far slower than wages to
respond to the pressure; and

BROADLY speaking, a build
ing program allowing the indus
trial worker to purchase his house
on terms Slightly above the rent
ing price, extending over a period
Of thirty to fifty years, as in
England, is safe method of fl
nancing home building in this
country. It is necessary to cons
truct house that will last from
fifty to sixty years wifhout'exces-
sive repairs, and care must be
taken to choose a locality which
will remain fit for habitation dur
ing similar period.
A man Should not be to a given
plant by the purchase Of home.
To give the worker the full benefit
of ownership in a community so
that he can exercise all civic
rights, and his wife and children
may enjoy socially what only a
fairly permanent residence can
afford, and yet permit him to- be
free and not a "slaye" as has
been suggested, I believe he could
purchase shares in a homes com
pany, to be formed on terms just
both to the seller and the pur-
chaser, and yet the stock could
be disposed of as easily as stocks
on the Exchange and be just as
liquid. The worker need not own
shares in the homes company and
when lie wants to move the com
pany can take back the shares for
which heihas paid. I do not mean
the company which employs him.

every man you meet; you never
can tell when this information
may be useful. Thus the chorus !;
and a public, avid of self-impro-
vement, pays it's money and pas
ses into the side-shoWs in suf-
ficient numbers, apparently, to
keep the cry merry and full. Our
modern suphists will teach any
thing for a price. The royal road
even is no longer sought; Socra-
tes sits idly by, and gains the
ear of not a single one of those
who throng the democratic spe-
edway. Ancient universities an
xiously consider how they may
transform themselves into sight
seeing vehicles a little more
sumptuosly appointed and doing
the circular tour of the new hea-
ven and the new earth with even
greater dispatch than can be
promised by the purveyors Of
correspondence courses. Such ac-
tive bidding for an opportunity
to afford light must arise from
some genuine desire for it among
large masses Of men; but if the
leaders themselves are dazzled
into something like blindness,
the awakening in the inevitable
ditch will be rude indeed.

incomes from interestibearing
investments do not respond at
all. The government official, the
college professor, the permanent
employee Of almost any firm or
private corporation, has to pull
though as best he can on his old
salary, or a salary but little in
creased, while the prices of every
thing he needs for himself and
his family have gone up to un-
heard-of heights. The hardship is
truly a grievous one, and the
wonder is that the complaining

Upon the tides Of chance and change
His course runs evenly. = as

Tho kings and empires tumble down,
Tho war and famine blight
He takes his morning g-way to town,
His homeward-way at night
Through happy times, and times made red
By blood and blood-red flame,
For more than forty years, 'tis said,
His path has been the same
Because he walks so often there
Each rut and stone he knows;
Across the park and through the square
And down the street it goes.
AS tho tired out with stress of feet
1t wanders, patched and worn;
In winters cold and summers heat
He treads it night and morn.
While lime speeds on with neer a stop
He plods to toll and back;
'Twixt shop and house, and house and shop,

That track, in time, will prove
Beneath his never-creasing tread

All silent as the Wainscot mouse
That scents its feline foe,
'TWixt house and shop, and shop and house,

Nor shall he in the lists of strife
His strength and spirit prove,
But evermore, live out his life
Within his self-made groove.
For there, the world and all shut out,
A dim shape underneath,
The man I write these lines about
Shall think and move and breathe.
And while Ger many field the lark
Z Drops music, sweet and clear,
A dim shape, shambling through the dark,
He shall not see or hear.
Nor shall he mark the planets swim
Through azure deeps afar;
For sun and star are not for him
Who seeks not sun and star.

to Poland without delay. The Morgen-
THAI Commission will remain in Poland
yet for few more weeks. The commits

time in Switzerland before returning to
this country.

THE DULUTH HEBREW
BROTHERHOOD.

BROTHERHOOD.
How the Duluth Hebrew Broth
erhood helped maintain the morale
of Jewish service men, serving both
in this country and overseas is
in itself chapter of endeavor with
out which a history Of Jewish con-
tribution to winning the war would
be incomplete.
Directed by representative,
strong patriotic committee of men
and women, these people worked
long and faithfully supplying the
Jewish lads from Duluth with
gifts of all sorts. Shortly after the
first volunteer contingent from the
Zenith City left for an Eastern
training station, every Jewish
youth received a large box contain
ing just the things to help make
life little more bearab1e.
The contents ranged from sweets
to wooden socks and included such
things as playing cards, flashlights
and serviceable knives. Every man
who represented Duluth was proud
Of the Duluth Hebrew Brotherhood
and its 265 members. The organi-
cation was founded four years ago.
Present officers of the organiza-
ton are BENJAMIN Goldfish, presi-
dent; Hynian Segal, vice president;
A. R. Latts, treasurer; Marcus
Fisher, sergeant at arms; Louis
Kaplan, inside guard; Harry Witt,
secretary. The board of directors
has for it's chairman David Vein
berg, founder of the organization;
supported by the following mem
bers: Louis Miller, Peter Shapiro,
Joseph Vertelney and Michael
Rachlin.
Members of the Brotherhood's
wartime patriotic committee were:
Harry Witt, chairman; David
Weinberg, Mrs. Harry Witt, M. J.

has thrown a hitch into a program of
turning thousands of tons of shipping
over to Great Britain as well as the
United States for troop transport, thus
aggravating the unrest.
End Delay of Food.
In all events, it is held certain here
that her action is timed to end, if pos
sible, the allied delay in sending food
into Germany.
To meet any situation which may
arise out of the present serious prob
lem most of the United States gov
eminent will be in France.
President Wilson is on his way over
Secretary Lansing is already there,
Secretary Daniels will be there within
couple of weeks. Secretary Baker
will arrive in France probably before
the middle of April and Chairman
Hurley Of the shipping board is ex-
Baker. Food Administrator Hoover is
on the spot.
Slow Up Troop Shipments.
Thus far the principal worry of Of
ficials here as to what may grow out
of the German action Is the possible
slowing up of troop shipments home.
The British will want their own ships
more than ever now-for transport
of their colonial and dominion troops.
So far as American troop shipments
are concerned, it was planned to reach
a rate of 100000 men a month by the
end of April. when all of the eight
German liners promised would haye
been in commission. AS refitted by
this government they would have had
a capacity of $4,000 to $4,000 troops
a month.
In case the ships are not turned
over to the allies, the war department
probably will try to make up the loss
thru reallocation of tonnage now
carrying food for the relief commits
sion. When it seemed certain the
| German ships would be available a
number of transports were converted
into cargo carriers to meet the
! emergency demand for food abroad.

lodged in years. Even the war had
not broken their control over Russian
industry.
Lenine Hun Agent.
Mr.. Francis said there was not the
slightest doubt in his mind that Lenine
was from the very beginning an agent
of the German government.
1.-THE Germans never would have
permitted him to come thru Germany
had they not known he would be use
full to them,' the ambassador de-
c1ared.
Moreover, Lenine disbursed large
amounts of money. I believe, how
ever, that Lenine was even more con-
cerned about starting a worldwide
revolution than he was about further
ing the interests of Germany. He later
not only permitted but encouraged the
reign of terror which still prevails
in Russia.
Ambassador Francis described in
some detail events preceding and i'm
mediateiy following the overthrow OF
the car and the ascension to power of
kerensky. He said he believed Keren-
sky made his big mistake when he
failed to arrest and try for treason
both Lenine and Trotzky when the
pair first appeared as factors in the
political situation. His personal opin-
ion founded upon intimate knowledge
of conditions, he said, was that Lenine
actually was the brains of the BolShe-
visit movement, that he was a fanatic
but at the same time held some sin
Cere ideas. TrOtZky was described as
being purely an adventurer, who was
dominated by Lenine, whenever the
pair were in disagreement on any sub
ject. Both, he said, were usurpers and
did not represent 10 per cent of the
Russian people.
