THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

as one group would put it, to protect
the interests of the country, by such
a drastic curb on immigration. one
is the organized labor group that
has always seen in the immigrant
an undesirable competitor IN the
labor market, discordant element
in its plans of perfected and con-
trolling organization. A moth er
group consists of those who see IN
the foreign labor element the men
ace of the spread of socialism and
other kinds of political and econom-
ic radicalism in this country.
1t goes without saying that both
groups are pursuing short
sighted policy and if successful in
their efforts to stem the tide of i'm
migration, will soon find their own
objects utterly defeated. On the
one hand, the foreign labor classes
in this country who are often COM
PEELED to take jobs on harsher terms
than the natives would be willing to
submit to, become by that very fact
reader recruits for the labor or
ganization that promises them bet
ter wages and better conditions,
and backs them in their demands
for them. And since most foreign
ers during the first few years of
their residence here belong to the
laboring class, organized labor
steadily gains in numerical strength
and influence by immigration. On
the other hand, the curb on immi-
grafton creates a shortage in the
labor market, and enables organ
lied labor to assume, by threats OF
strikes and the complete paralysis
of industry, a dictatorial attitude
toward capital. The recent sue
cessful strikes of the employees of
the traction companies of New
York, and of organized labor
groups in other centers, and the at
titude and agitation Of the four rail
road brotherhoods illustrate this
point. We do not mean to criti-
CHE labors' efforts to better it's con-
dition, and to get larger share of
the profits of industry by all means
considered legitimate. But were it
not for the completely checked i'm
migration of the last five years and
the depleted labor market, such at
titude on the part of organized
labor would be Impossible. Ma

cialism, which is the ultimate aim

END TERROR BY
ZEPPELIN RAIDS

The captain and navigating personnel
were supposed to jump from the for
ward gondola and the crew, generally
about twenty men, from the engine
and mldship cabins. In the face of
disaster, however, there is no record
of any member of a Zeppelin crew
having saved himself by this means,
either because the machine became too
quickly envelOped in flames or fell too
rapidly for the parachute to open out.
The Zeppelins usually set out from
Germany in the morning and timed
their arrival off the English coast
about dusk. The fate of StraSser's
ship was sealed because he arrived
too early, being spotted above the
horizon by a British lookout
Penetrate Heart of England.
There evidently was no concerted
action among the Zeppelin raiders,
each acting mIre or less independ-
emily. They selected targets upon
which they could unload their bombs
uninterruptedly, if possible, and then
flee. They often penetrated into the
heart of England.
Six ZeppelinS were brought down in
England, the first by Lieut. Leefe
Robson at Cutiey. He was awarded
the Victoria Cross. The incendiary

But He Fought for Germany.

The truth Of the adage as to the
world being small place after all IS
aptly illustrated in an incident whlch
befell J. Hensall French OF Philadei-
phia. who is engaged in Y. NJ. q. A..
work in the American expeditionary
forces in France. In a letter Mr.
French states that while close to the
firing line several hundred German
prisoners were being conveyed on q
road to the rear. The prisoners were
under guard, and as they passed along
one of them called out in English
"Hello! Mr.. French, how do you 40!
Fright welL" retorted Mr.. French,
.but how is it that you know mcT
~Oh," responded the prisoner, Il have
often waited upon you at the Belie-
yue- Stratford," and with wave OF his
hand he passed along with his COM
panions to the rear OF the lighting

London.-Britain conquered the
Zeppelins with explosive bullets. oh-
til the invention of this weapon Yep
pelius roamed about over England AT
will, weather permitting. The hrst
air raid upon London was by Yep
pelins. This was May 81, 1919, and
until the explosive bullet came into
defense work the Germans came over
in their rigid gas bags as their pleas
ure dictated. The British had no
Zeppelins then for counter-attack and
the arplanes they possessed were
helpless, because they could not fly
high enough quickly enough.
On one occasion when Zeppelins
were above the city British aviatOrs.
as usual, went up to engage them.
But the British flyers could only at
tain $4,000 feet altitude. There they
sat, looking up at the monsters far
above them, the machine guns of the
airplanes being as useless as toy piS-
tolls That is the real reason why
Britain built fast, high-climhing air
planes. She had to Quito the ZeppS.
She won, soon having airplanes that
could reach 10000 feet or more, above
which distance Zeppelins could not
work effectively. These high-climbing
fighting planes, together with the ex-
plosive and incendiary bullets, made
England too hot for the airing of a
Zepp.
The leader of the Zeppelin raids on
London was Commander Peter
Strasser, who had unbounded hatred
for England. He had an iron nerve
and in Germany was regarded as an
authority on air raids against Eng
land. He met his death on August 4.
last year, in the Huns largest Yep
pelin, off the English coast. An ex-
plosive bullet ended his journey.
To keep out Of range of ordinary
anti-aircraft fire the Germans en-
larged their Zeppelins from 100000 to
about 100000 cubic feet, thus in
creasing ascent abilities. But this
was quickly countered by improved de
Tense methods in Britain. The ZeppS
carried about $500 pounds of bombs
each.
The first time the Zeppelins visited
London the people took 1t as a great
joke, fiocking to the housetops to see
the incendiary bombs that were
dropped. Only sig persons were killed
In the initial raid although 90 incen-
diary bombs were heaved overheard.
The men in the later type of Yep
pelins were provided with parachutes.

first impression of the Eagle boat Is
one of wonder that craft so narrow

While it is admitted the Eagle does

WRITER DIES UNDER
ROBBERS TORTURE
Police Find OhiCagOan Bound
and Gagged-$25, 900 in
Bonds Missing.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-That ". H.
Purcell, who was found dead in his
apartment on the north side last Non
day, died as a result Of being tor
tured in an effort to make him dis
close the hiding place Of a fortune in
securities and cash Is the theory on
which the police are working in their
effort to clear up the death Of the
wealthy song writer and real estate
man.
The new and startling explanation
OF the crime was advanced following
the discovery that $4,000 in liberty
bonds which Purcell had secreted in
his apartment, were missing. The
police believe the thieves learned the
hiding place Of the bonds from their
victim and were trying to force fur
ther information from him when he
died Of heart failure.
PurcelPs body was bound with
mouth when the police entered the
nat. The police investigating the mys-
terioUs case are puzzled over the
identity OF a woman who gave her
name as Mrs. Purcell and who called
an express company from the vic
TINS fat several days before his dead
body was found.
Mrs. Purcell was visiting relatives
in southern Illinois, il Is said, at the
time the woman, using her name,
made the telephone call from the
Purcell apartment.
