''The sinking of these ships eonsti-
tuted at once a violation of the armis-
tiee and an act of gross bad faith to-
ward the allies and associated powers
The admiral in command while

the incident gives the allies and asso-

the loss caused.
Lastly, the sinking Of the German
fleet is net only a violation Of the ar
mistice, but can only be regarded as
deliberate breach in advance of the
conditions of peace. Furthermore, the
incident is not an isolated act. The

Reparation Demanded
In consequence, the allied and asso.

WHY so TARDY, COLONEL?

WHY so TARDY, COLONEL?
We happen to be member of the Execu
tive Committee of the War Camp Commun
ity Service, formerly the local representa-
tives of the Fosdick Commission. The Serv
ice maintains branches in many cities, ant
does great deal of work, especially in tn,
cities near environments. The president o.
the War Camp Community Service is Mr.
Joseph Lee of Boston. The other day w
received this letter from him, as did all tn,
workers.
Dear Sir:
"On June "a, on Boston common,
received from the hands of Gen. Ed
wards, commander of the Northeastern
Department, the distinguished service
medal for especially meritorious and
conspicuous service as president of the
War Camp Community Service | want
to congratulate all my workers,
paid and unpaid, upon this citation.
War Camp Community Service is a
spiritual body manifested in the flesh
by all its workers and leaders. think
it has deserved this decoration, and |
deem it high honor to have been the
garment or lapel to which the medal
has been pinned"
We happen also to be the Chairman of
the local Jewish Welfare Board. As such
we had the honor and the pleasure of doing
a good deal of work for the Jewish men in
the local camp and the three surrounding
aviation fields. In fact it takes a great
deal of time and effort to minister to the
wants of several hundred men. Besides that
the task of closing the work at the camp,
selling the hut and several other little
things fell to our lot. We undertook the
responsibility, and in our weak way, we met
it.
A few weeks ago, we saw that the Daily
Press and countless number of Jewish
papers carried the item that Col. Cutler was
also awarded the distinguished service
medal for meritorious service for the men
In uniform. That was fine. COL Cutler
worked and deserved it. We hadn't thought
OF receiving thanks for our work-we did
1t freely, gladly and without any expecta-
ton OF salary or reward. But when we re-
celved that letter from Mr.. Lee, we CON-
menced to think-and we are still thinking.
What's the matter Colonel-have our
non-Jewish friends monopoly on that fine
sense OF gratitude and appreciation which
makes cooperation in communal work a
pleasure? 1t isn't too late yet!

A:
WHY STOP AT THE NAME?

Our excellent contemporary, the Ameri-
can Hebrew, has department which it calls
"The Philosophers Corner edited by one
who calls himself Israel ben Maimon. The
philosopher has been discussing the very
important question Should We Retain Our
Specifically Jewish Name? Many have
contributed to the column by way of an
swering this question one way or the 9TH
err. Some wanted to change-others of
course do not. We happened to glance over
the answers, and we found one that is so
typical of a certain class of beings that
have had the misfortune to be born Jews,
that we reproduce it:
The Question of Embarrassment.
Dear Sir: Extreme antithesis between
my non-Jewish maiden name and the
present Levy gives me the vantage
point of umpiring the question, SHOULD
we retain our specifically Jewish
name?"
I cry out with every drop of blood
flowing through my veins, to give them
up. Possessing a non-Jewish name in
the past, residing in Gentle commun-
ity, where was always the only Jewess
at all social functions, frequently spar
ed my hostesses many an uncomforta-
BILE situation. Briefly, we tax the
friendship of our broadminded and bet
ter educated Gentle friends, by the
prejudice of their bigoted acquaint-
ances.
Today, I am Levy, with daily contact
with Gentiles. Financially I will admit,
have not suffered by the name of
Levy. There are times and moments
when the name is more than awkward,
the situation tense, and a realization
that Levy as name is an additional
obstacle to surmount in lif.'s battles.
To be specific, I recall attending a
very exclusive luncheon at Sherry's in
honor of the late Baroness Won Suttner,
during her last visit to The States. The
formality of the occasion necessitated
the calling of each guests name before
being presented to the Baroness. 1t
was not imagination, but the express
sions of the Dix's, Van Rensallaer's,
Wizards, and others was polite but sig
nificant as to what manner of Jewess
was coming. Otherwise Jew or Jew
ess, whose manners and conduct were
in keeping with the company, could
have come and gone and not been adj
vertised-Jew.
Ask some of the men who were in
the Army, and no doubt many wished
that their names had been non-Jewish
many times during trying days. 1t is
an unnecessary prejudice breeder, dat
ing from our kindergarten days, at
home, abroad, and up to the day the in

her hostess because her name was Levy
even with the advantage (financiaD that
such name carries with it in the business
world? Just think of the glory of being
introduced to a real live, honest-to- good
ness baroness, and with name Levy. What
disgrace could be more humiating? And
that isn't all. Every time the correspond
ent goes to reception she has to be intro
duced by the same name-and Immediately
everybody knows that she is Jewess. Isn't
it CALLING?
1t must be unbearable to have achieved
the eminence of being invited to "reg'lar
sissiety" functions, even tho Jewess, and
then to have to bear so Jewish name. Of
course the name ought to be changed. When
we taught in the Jewish Settlement many
years ago, we used to hear an expression
occasionally when some of the immigrants
were in bad mood which ran like this: "A
Klog zu Columbus" There is no transla-
ton for this, except possibly, Damned be
Columbus" We should like to say, "A Klog
zu" society where lady by the name of
Levy, feels at outs with the world, because
she is a Jewess. Pity the Jewishness of
such a creature, and the elegance of the
society of those who are so narrow and
bigoted that they cannot tolerate Jew or
Jewess simply because one happens to be
such.
But why should one who is ashamed of
name as honorable as that of Levy not
change her name? She is not worthy of
it. The Jews would not miss her-and the
Christian snobs might not make face at
the receptions to which she would be in
vited. And why not go further? Why not
join some church? We can recommend
by hearsay only-the st. Thomas Episco-
pal in New York, where we were told on
excellent authority where in that city some
time ago, that they had what they call
Jewish corner"
1t is nerve, If not ignorance that makes
plea like the one here spoken of. The
writer shows cringing, cowardly attitude
that is not worthy of the name Jewish. She
has right to change her name, if it is too
Jewish, so far as she is concerned But
we do not hesitate to say that her plea, if
she be sincere, is not the plea of real, loyal
Jewish womenhood. If she had had an I'M
pronounceabe name, we should not have
demurred. But when she mixes Jewish
names with Jewish pride and Jewish 10y
alty-the matter is altogether different.
How different is that Jewish womanhood,
typified by Esther, who even after she mar
ried real king-was willing to die that her
people might be saved. For our part when
coreligionist reaches that stage of sef-sat-
isfaction when a name like Levy becomes
diStasteful we recommend whole beortadly

LEGISLATURE OF
THAT YEAR RULED
Passed Resolution That All County
Meetings Should be Held in the Court
House at Newfane Forever There
after Present Agitation Discussed.

The closing session of the September
term, 1918, of Windham county court
which was held in Brattleboro last week
and this week, has provoked considerable
discussion in Windham county. In the
opinion of the Springfield Republicans
Brattleboro correspondent there has been
feeling on the part of many of the in
habitants of Brattleboro and nearby
towns, also on the pant of Bellows Falls
residents, that the county seat would
be more accessible if it were moved from
Newfanc to Brastleboro. The people of
Newfane and in all the towns along the
West River valley have always OPP
posed the proposition. and until recently
not much discussion on the subject has
been heard for several years. Those who
favor the moving of the county seat to
: Brattleboro have argued that a very
large per cent of the matters tried in
county court originate i'll Brattleboro or
Bellows Falls. They further claim that
as a large proportion of all the towns in
Windham county have to 90 through
bldtNleDoiO OH the way 10 NeWIdHe, IHdl
it would be much cheaper and much
more convenient to have the county seat
here. They claim it would not only be
an accommodation and saving to the
lawyers, but would also be of value to
contestants and jurymen. On the other
hand, Newfane people and others in
terested in having the county seat re-
main where it has so long been. claim
that its present location is in the center
of the county, that Newfane has spent
large sums of money in hotel accommo-
dations and in getting the West River
railroad through and that the county has
spent large sums in keeping in repair and
in proper condition the county buildings.
They also claim that living expenses are
much cheaper in Newfane than in Brat
tleboro
Ii is interesting to note that away back
in 1885 and 1856 the same and similar
questions were disturbing the peace of
mind of residents of Windham county
On October %, 1856, five years prior to
the admission of Vermont as sister
state in the United States, the Vermont
legislature, which was then assembled
at Rutland, passed an act with an eX
planatory preface thereto, the text o
which follows:-
