since then learned from other
sources has not materially
changed our opinion Of it.; least
of all has the outburst OF Our
youthful rash correspondent done
it. DR.. Kurtz may have over
stressed and attached undue i'm
portance to, certain facts, and.
thus perhaps heightened the
color of his picture. But in the
main his presentation of the mat
ter was correct, and he has rem
dered a real service to the Jewish
community by calling attention
to it. To take him to task for it
in a manner that betrays strong
feeling but weak thought, and to
take the editor to task for en-
dorsing him, and to demand re-
traction, only confirms the cor
rectness of the self-analysis OF
the irate youth, Elihu. To any
young man who sometimes reads
an editorial that makes him feel
'1ike a new wineskin ready to
burst" our advice is: Don't.

Baptists, Adventists, Unitarians,
and perhaps other liberal Chris
tan denominations are also OPP

dislikes Catholics, just as others

Prof. William Rosenau, Of Johns
Hopkins University, has concluded
a series of lecture on the Jew be-
fore the students and faculty OF
the University of Michigan sum-
mer session. Prof. Rosenau, who
dealt with the debt of the Jew to
America, of America to the Jew,
and the hopes and ideals of Ameri-
canism and Judaism, proved a pop
ular speaker, his talks being
received with enthusiasm by the
audiences that taxed to capacity

Herman HI. Phillips, of Borden,
ILL.,, a veteran of the Rainbow Divi-
sion, is now awaiting the arrival OF
his dead body from France. Phil
lips learned from letter which his
father had received from the War
Department that the body which
had been exhunned from an Ameri-
can cemetery in France would ar
rive shortly. Phillips went to
Washington and tried to convince
the War Department that he is still
among the living, but the officials
firmly held their ground, that, ac-
cording to the records, he is dead,
and that his body will soon arrive
from France.

funds and workers yet they did
splendid work among the Legion
naires and their families.
The end of the war revealed
the consequent havoc and ruin,
suffering and misery, Wretched-
ness and helplessness that the
peace treaty did not clear away.
What is to be the lot Of the thou
sands of Jewish orphans? Who
shall protect and provide for
them? Who shall allay their
hunger, shelter and defend them
from the barbarities Of the perse-
cutor? Surely the cause of the
Jewish orphan is as worthy as the
cause of the Legionary. The
Red Mogen David therefore, I'm
dertook to be the guardian OF
Jewish orphans, to give them the
necessary shelter in Europe and
to place them in good homes in
Palestine. For this work funds
are needed. A national campaign
for 100000 has been inaugu-
rated for this purpose. Many
Jewish communities have already
responded intellectually. Every
one feels it their sacred duty to
care for our orphans abroad.
Needless to say, such a cause is
worthy of the genuine, jealous
and whole-hearted cooperation
of all. 1t remains for the Jewish
people to determine whether the
orphans shall be properly cared
for or left to shift for themselves
until the angel of death gathers
them to their fathers H. b.

"THE ROMAN CATHOLICS
AND THE JEWS"

In our last issue, in an editorial
headed "Jewish and Masonic
we took occasion to reproduce
what we consider the anti-Semltlc
recipe: Combine the hated Jew
with something equally hateful -
Bolshevist in one instance, Ma
sonic in another, according to
each ones pet aversion"
We now have further proof
that such is the recipe used. The
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills,
the well-known writer and lee
turer, who few years ago gained
additional notoriety by being
mixed up in some peculiar bust
ness transactions or speculatlons
that are generally foreign to the
gentlemen of the cloth, in a re-
cent lecture in Philadelphia de-
1ivered himself of the following
plant:
"Look at our American school
system. The Roman Catholics
and the Jews have votes and IN
fuence, and they have maneuv-
cred things so as to have every
suggestion of a Christian or
moral sentiment weeded out OF
the chi1dren's textbooks. Be
hold the result! We have 10000
600 boys and girls coming to
manhood and womanhood in this
country without having received
any moral training in the schools.
"That is the reason why our
iai1s are crowded. That accounts
for the moral deterioration
everywhere"
We shall not make any COM
ment on the wise mans diagnosis
of our moral ailments. Perhaps
our iails are crowded for the rea-
son given by him. But note his
linking of Roman Catholics and
Jews together in his Indictment

THE AMERICAN RED
MOGEN DAVID.

A worthy work is very often at
tended with difficulties and dis
appointments. While there are
many who are ready to laud and
appreciate noble cause there are
also many who try to find fault.
This attitude is often the result
of lack of knowledge or OF some
misunderstanding. The Ameri-
can Red Mogen David had its
battles to fight. Organized for
the purpose of providing the Jew
ish Legionnaires with necessary
comforts and at the same time
support their families, it has I'm
dertaken to do for Our Maccabe-
ans what the Red Cross has done
for the American and European
armies. But whereas the Red
Cross benefited by a history and
an experience of fifty years, had
unlimited financial means and an
army of trained men and women
to do it's work, the Red Mogen
David was not so blessed. When
it was first organized there was
great enthusiasm on the part of
the Jewish public in America.
The organization sprung up
spontaneously, no other tangible
bond existing between the scat
tered chapters throughout the
country than the innate longing
to accomplish as much as posi-
bic. The movement spread rap
