ity of the Polish crimes against their breth-
rem.
1t is well to reserve our decision on this
matter until the report of the Morgenthau
Commission has been made public. We doubt
whether Henry Morgenthau with his great
experience and virile tact would do an in
Justice either to his co-religionists or the
Poles. However, this much is true. The
report of the English Commission will be
used in Judging of the truthfulness of the
Morgenthau Report, and between the two
we ought to get somewhere near the real
truth.

ENGLAND'S POLISH COMMISSION.

England has also appointed a commission
to investigate the pogroms in Poland Just
as did America. The head of our commission
is Henry Morgenthau; the head of the Eng
fish commission is also Jew, Sir Stuart
Samuel, the head of the English Board of
Deputies, the most important organization
of the English Jews He belongs to the fam
lily of the late Lord Swaythling, who was the
head of the Orthodox element of England,
and Sir Stuart is himself said to be an ortho
dox Jew.
The fact that the anti-Semtic London pa
pers, as well as the Polish papers, are at
lacking Sir Stuart, is happy sign. so far
as we are concerned. They are afraid that
ne will tell the truth-and his commission
probably will.
In this connection, it is interesting to note
that the Jewish press, especially the press
of the orthodox and conservative elements,
Is very much dissatisfied with the Morgen-
THAI commission. It is said that Mr.. Nor.
genthau will report that only 300 of our
co-religionists have been massacred in Po-
land, whereas private letters and dispatches
to Jewish organizations allege that they
have the names of thousands that were
killed.
Morgenthau is accused of too friendly
attitude to the Poles. He is accused of not
going deeply enough into the condition of
our co-religionists, and of ignoring the con-
dltlons as they really are. Polish Jewish
leaders feel that he has been unjust to their
cause, and has not made use of the testi-
mony which they have, to show the enorm-

DIR. JACOBSON OF SHREVEPORT,
RESIGNS.

DR.. Moses P. Jacobson of Shreveport, has
resigned. His resignation takes effect at
the end of the present holiday season, and
he is to take rest for year. DR.. Jacobson
has been in the ministry thirty-three years,
and of this time, eighteen were spent in
Shreveport.
1t is with regret that we chronicle the de-
parture of DR.. Jacobson from the ministry
at this time He has been neghbor to us,
and one of the older men whose advice and
counsel we valued. DR.. Jacobson is one of
the really brilliant minds in the rabbinate of
America, and though he is not one of the
"old" men, he has established for himself a
reputation as an extraordinarily keen think
err. His scholarship is of wide extent, and
as a man, he stands among the very best.
Shreveport will miss him, and the intellec-
tual element of the Southwest will feel his
loss. Good luck to him wherever he goes and
whatever he does.
This is the second time within few
weeks that we have had to chronicle the res
ignation of rabbi who has served his con-
gregation long and faithfully. The other COL
league whom we have lost from these parts
is DR.. William Greenburg of Dallas, who left
that city shortly before the holidays He,
too, was man of great learning, a thorough
gentleman, one who had more than ordinar-
lily high standing in his community, but who
felt impelled to leave after eighteen years
of service. One wonders whether there is
not something wrong somewhere. 1t does
seem that when men have given the best
years of their lives to community, that the
community ought never to let the men CO.
no matter what the personal reasons are. It
were far better, it seems to us, to have
granted the minister years vacation with
salary, after he had served so long, than to
permit him to resign.
There are probably circumstances in the
cases OF both of these colleagues which caus-
ed them to leave, and of which we do not
know, But nevertheless, the fact that a
rabbi never can accumulate enough to be-
come independently rich-except in the rar-
est cases-and the fact that the cry among
congregations is for young men-ought to
make congregation douby cautious in ac-
cepting the designations of rabbs who have
devoted the best years of their lives to their
congregations.

raised violent protest because at recent
meeting of one of the Eastern Episcopal
Dioceses, two or three Of the clergy sug-
gested that out of the fund of $100,OOO,OOO
that is to be raised, part should be de-
voted to the "Christianization and the
Americanization of the Jews" 1.-THE Jews
control the world, and if Christianity is to
convert the Jew, the attempt must be made
at once" said one of the ministers.
There is of course, full justification for
whatever outbursts the journals have made.
Only the rankest kind of ignorance would
prompt any one to even insinuate that the
Jews" need Americanization. After the
magnificent showing that the crowded dis
tricts of New York and the other large cities
made in the war-both on the battlefelds
and in the war drives at home-only fools
will make remarks like that above
AS far as the Jews controlling the world
is concerned, would to God, that they did.
Can you imagine for a moment that the
world would have had catastrophe such as
we went through, if the JEW controlled
the world? A man who makes statement
like that excludes himself from the body of
thinking men, and brands himself as unde-
serving of intelligent consideration.
But what is the use of flaring up about
statements made by few fanatics and rem
egades. We dare say that at the great con-
vention of Episcopalians now taking place in
Detroit, the matter of either Outstanding
the Jews or Americanizing them, will not
be mentioned. And by the way, one of the
places in which this convention is holding
sessions is the Temple of Detroit.
The modern Christian will never Chris
tianize the Jew-the process will be re-
versed, if there is any conversion. The
world is approaching the Jewish social ideal
day by day. The war that has just been
fought, and the greater economic war which
is now being fought, is not war for the es-
Establishment of universal Christianity; it
is not war for Christ crucified" nor for
the risen Christi" it is not war for the
saving of mems souls for the Christian
Heaven, nor war for the recognition of
Christian festivals and Christian dogmas.
The war of the past and the war that is now
being waged-this very moment in Wash
ington, is war for democracy, a war for
the proper recognition of human life and
virtue, war for the Jewish social and eco
nomic ideal-a war for the recognition of
human rights and human liberties. These
are Jewish ideals-not Christian; they were
born the minute Abraham tore himself loose
if early tradition be credited-from the
idolatry of his own people; they blossomed
when Moses led his hosts to liberty across
the desert, and gave them the Ten Com
mandments; they were given new fire and
new life by the burning words of the proph-
ets-and to the Christian world, the Jew
Jesus, repeated them, and who come in his

As a result Of extremely heavy operat-
ing costs and manufacturing restrictions

the Stutz Motor Car Company Of Amer

1915, as compared with it's 1917 opera

s3,536.557, against nearly s4,500.0o0 In
1917, n decline of $s46.75S. The big drop
was not Offset as a whole by the decline
in cost Of manufacturing. which declined
from SS,375,9S1 in 1917 to s2,S9l,S3S for
1918, a drop OF s462,61b.
The gross profit for the year was
nearly 100000 below that for 1917. the

and general expenses help to any appre-
ciable extent In bolstering up tho net
profit for the year. Those expenses in
1918 aggregated sss,7Ss. In the pre-
ceding year they were s77,637. bringing
the balance for 1913 up TO s57t,ss3,
against s1,029,697 In 1917.
In interest and discount earned during
1913. the company dropped back slightly
more than $4,000. the figures being
$1,000, against s45.0sl in 1917. thus
making the net profit for the year but

The income statement for 1918 was
taken before any deduction was made
for Federal taxes, which have not been
definitely compiled for the year. In

before tax deductions. and when the
total amount OF the company's taxes

DEMAND FOR STEEL
PRODUCT IMPROVES
Individual Tonnages Not

FOREIGN INQUIRY COMING
Scarcity Of Shipping Facilities
Holds Down Exports, but
Situation Improves.

PrrrsBURo, Feb. 15.--A wide assert
ment Of export steel inquiries arc COM
ing into the mills OF the Pittsburg dis
trict and while much of the business
does not go through. there is yet a fair
tonnage that does. notwithstanding
that expectations that there would be a
great deal OF business from allied coun-
tries have been dismissed. II Is not true
that there is no business at all from
such quarters. Belgium, France and Italy
have been inquiring Tor steel commodi-
ties, including billets, rods and con-
crete reinforcing bars
Individual tonnages In steel are not
large. but the aggregates for week are
In pig iron there Is in
quiry for fair sized lots. South Amer
lea Is inquirlng for various finished
steel products. including sheets and wire.
The two spots on the export map where
there Is practically no business are Ar
Eentlna and Japan both of which coun-
tries have had panics, Argentine buyers
arc eiNdeavoring to cancel practically all
old orders. 1t IS not yet determined
who shall stand the loss. Naturally It
should fall upon the buyer. but in times
of panic rules always do not work.
One factor In holding down export busi-
ness is the scarcity of shipping, but con-
ditions are improving in that respect as
vessels released by the Government get
back into their usual channels. Rates
quoted by private owners usually are
higher than Shipping Board rates, and
the board does not seem to he able to
control rates OF private owners.
The Consolidated Steel Company, or
ganised last December as an export
house for independent steel producers
under the Webb act, il transacting more
or less business through established ex-
port houses. Some mystery surrounds
the question of how far the new COM
pany Is going into the business for
which 1t was understood to be estab-
lished, and the question being asked
here as recently reported Is why did
the company not file the necessary APP
