THIS IS FUNNY.
S. N. D.

We notice paragraph in an ex-
change commenting on the fact that
the percentage of Jews is not linn
tied to summer hotels alone, but
that the St. Thomas Episcopal
Church of New York has courte-
ously notified all Jews applying for
membership that they have their
quota and they are referred to an
other church. Even in matters of
saving souls there seems to be
prejudice against the Jews; prob
ably our Christian neighbors are
opposed to an influx of Jews even
in that ideal sphere beyond. Re1i-
gion surely masquerades in strange
garbs.-Jewish Criterion.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-11-07

sphere, in which no others should
be allowed to NEEDLE. For our
Christian neighbors are still OBJ
sessed with the idea that this kind
OF Americanization is equivalent to
Christianization, as was sufficient
ly demonstrated by even so liberal
a body as the Episcopalians. The
propaganda they would carry on
among Jews as well as non-Jews is
that of Christian Americanization
as they call it. Yet we are con-
WINGED that Christian Americaniza-
ton for those born in another faith
is just as contrary to the true spirit
of Americanism as would be Mo-
halnmedan AUGMENTATION. The
moral principles of Americanism
square just as well. if not better,
with the ethics of Judaism as with
the moral principles of Christianity.
. The Ten Commandments, the high
social-ethical ideals of the prophets
and the Golden Rule are fundamen-
tai to Judaism and Americanism
alike. Let us look after this kind
of Americanization among our own
people. The AUGMENTATION work
planned or carried on by fanatics,
religious or political, will defeat it's
own purpose, and do more harm
than good.

A WISE KOL-BOU.
BY D. Hoexter.

About this time of every year
there appears in the Jewish news
papers very many advertisements
calling for candidates to fill vari-
Gus positions of congregational
needs, such as preachers, cantors,
undertakers, etc.
Now there existed in a certain
village a small and not too rich
congregation with all the offices
vacant, and as it was impossible for
the members to pay a separate
man for each office, necessity COM

High Morale of Jews in Palestine

High Morale of Jews in Palestine.
The absolute lack of crime among
the jewish Colonists living in Pal
estlne is one of the remarkable fea-
lures of Jewish life there that has
just come to light through the
criminal records for March, April.
May and June Of this year. Al
though the territory Of the o. E.
l.. A. (South) which published the
criminal record in it's Official Ga
zette covers all the Jewish centers.
among the 43 persons against whom

was not a single Jewish name.

PEELED them to find one mana
Jack of all trades man who was
gifted with all requirements to sat
isfy their demands.
But where was such person to
be found? The advertisement ap-
peared for weeks without result and
the president had many sleepless
night as the holidays came nearer
and nearer. Suddenly, on Friday
about two weeks before Yom Tow
there came to the president of the
congregation a candidate, who, con-
sidering the time short for writ
ten application, submitted his Gre
dentials in person and convinced
this high standing official that he
was the right man to satisfy all
congregational demands and was
willing to stay over Saturday to
convince the congregation of his
abilities. The president was de-
lighted and accepted the offer.
AS cantor Mr.. Cohen-that
was the candidates name was
highly satisfactory; a lecture
on the Sabbath morning, and an
other in the afternoon gave ample
proof of his learning and everybody
said that he was the right man to
engage. Not to lose such long
sought jewel, the president called
a meeting for the next day to sign
a contract with Mr.. Cohn. At the
stipulated time every member Of
the congregation was present and
after a short deliberation, during
which the candidate was waiting in
the anteroom to be informed of
his election, the president ordered
the secretary to draw up a contract
to be signed right then and there.
The secretary was nearly finished
with his task when there suddenly
arose Mr.. Nevins-before the war
it was Nevinsky throwing thun-
derbolt into the meeting by de-
claring to stop further proceedings
as they could not engage Mr.. Cohn
for the simple reason that he as

The point was we'll taken, and
disappointment showed upon every
face present.
The president had the candidate
called before the meeting, and in
well chosen words praised his serv-

Saving the Samaritans.
(From the Palestine News-Agency
OF the American Zionist Pub
licity Department..
The Zionist Administrative Com
mission is concerning itself with the
Samaritan community of Shechem
which is threatened with Arab as
simi1ation. Only 100 families re-
main of this once powerful people.
The interest of the Commission was
aroused by the recent receipt of the
following letter:
"The Samaritan community in
Shechem has the honor to inform
the Zionist Commission, Jerusalem,
that committee of the Community
has been formed, all the notables of
the Samaritan Community having
participated in it's election. The
Committee will be known as the
Council of the Samaritans Of
Shechem, and its purpose will be to
direct all the affairs Of the Samari-
tan Community, to cndeavor to i'm
prove its position, both cultural and
material, and to save it from extinc-
ton. :"
The ritual language and customs
of the Samaritans, so similar to
those of our: forefathers, have been
carefully preserved and have great
historical value, but while many
have been interested in the archeo-
logical aspect of their possessions
they have not been helped materi-
ally.

IDAHO FIRE LOSS
OVER 80 MILLION
Forty Square Miles Burned Over,
Destroying 20, ,OOO, 900 Feet White
Pine; Men Start Blaze

Spokane. Wash, July 22.--Forest
fire conditions in northern Idaho, ac-
cording to reports from forest ser
vice officials and timber protective
association wardens today, continued
critical, with several bad blazes in
various parts OF the district.
The most serious fire was reported
from the Pack river valley, between
Sand Point and Hope, Idaho, where
IS to 40 square miles have been
burned over by flames that are with
in two miles Of the Great Northern
railroad, and three miles from Ma
pies, Idaho. Neither Is believed to
be in danger, however.
Between 10000, 900 and 10000
900 feet of white pine timber has
been destroyed, at an estimated loss
of $40.0O0,OOO to $50, ,O00, 900. Only
rain can stop the blaze, it was de-
clared and the only hope is to guide
the fire away from the richest timber
in its path. The burning area is ten
miles long and three to four miles
wide.
One man was under arrest today
at Sand Point and another is expect
ed to be taken into custody this af-
ternoon in connection with alleged
incendiary fires near Wrenco. The
Wrenco fire was within three miles
OF Sand Point today, burning over
an area OF about II square miles.
The city was not believed to be in
danger.

TOBACCO PRICES SOAR
TO CLOUDS IN ITALY

Rome, July 22.-While Americans
complain of the advance of one and
two cents in the price of cigars and
cigarettes, the prices in Italy have
advanced ten and twenty times what
they were formerly Cigarettes of
the cheapest varieties which sold be-
fore the war for two cents box now
sell for twenty cents and sometimes
thirty. Cigars have mounted in
price almost to the point where they
are unmarketable.
Besides the difficulty of importing
tobacco-which, of course, adds con-
siderable to the price-there is in
creased taxation upon It, The gov
ernmental income from tobacco in
pre-war days amounted to approx
mately $75.000.00O annually. Dur
ing the past fiscal year tobacco
have paid the government $780,

budget anticipates a revenue from
tobacco of nearly $500, 900. 900. The
latter will be one-sixth of the entire

YANKS CLOSING UP
BUSINESS IN LONDON

London, July 22.-American army
and navy officers who are trying to
close up the war financial trafsac-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain, hope to have their
task completed by September |. II
that end Is reached the majority OF

experts to tie the last remaining
strings.
The magnitude OF the task will be
appreciated when 1t Is known that
the army alone bought 1000, 00O
tons Of equipment and supplies here
and shipped them to France, while
tho navy had large forces OF ships
which were constantly purchasing
things from British warehouses.
Another element in the situation

Immediately. I think the fact that
all did not land safely was due to
