THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

one of these days we shall read
an editorial in one of them on
how Ford's follies are due to Zion
ist propaganda. All the others
who give their undivided support
to the movement are satisfied to
publish whatever the admins
trative office in New York sub
mits to them without question
ing or demurring. We have no
doubt that if the inner cabinet
of New York, or rather its clever
publicity agent, were to issue a
statement that Herbert Samuel
is the real Messiah in disguise,
and that the office needs ten mil
lion dollars to help in the build
ing of the new Temple on Mount
Moriah, all Zionist papers would
publish it with glazing headlines,
and make glowing editorial COM
ment on it. And yet, if the state
ments, proceedings, policies of the
Zionist administration in London
are not above criticism, how much
wider scope does the administra-
tive office in New York afford for
serious structure and reproba-
ton?

ED TOR IAL
ZIONISM AND THE ENG
LISH-JEWISH PRESS.

We in America may be the
most important and the most
influential section of Jewry at the
present time, We probably have
larger members now than has any
other single country on the rear
ranged postwar map of Europe.
We certainly have more wealth
and power, better, organized and
stronger institutions of every
kind. The war gave American
Jewry indisputable leadership in
the affairs of world Jewry, in
Zionism and in the war sufferers
relief; and in this position of lead
ership, it will undoubtedly con-
tinue for sometime.
Yet in many respects we can
still learn some lessons from other
sections of Jewry and greatly
profit by them. AS an example
we shall cite the attitude and eff
ficient service of the Anglo Jew
ish press as compared with the
numerous Jewish papers in Eng
lish in this country and especially
with reference to Zionisn. The
two leading, most representative,
and most influential Anglo Jew
ish papers, the Jewish Chroni-
Gle and the Jewish World have
been consistently and staunchly
Zionistic these many years, and
have given the movement their

We are in receipt of advance
copy of an article by Rabbi Max
Heller on "San Reno and the Re-
form Rabbis" which is to appear
in the forthcoming number of the
Maccabaean. There will be
something doing" when the anti
Zionist Reform Rabbis, and espe-
cially the officers and leaders of
the Central Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis, read it. Putting him
in therein" will probably be the
mildest thing they will do to him.
But as Rabbi Heller is fully capa-
bic of taking care of himself, we
shall not worry, and shall say
nothing further about it.

People generally misunderstood
the reason why Emma Goldman
and her pal" Alexander Berk-
man, are dissatisfied with Russian
Bolshevism. 1t is not that they
have had change of heart, or
are anxious to become respectable
members of society, return to this
country and run for office on the
Republican or Democratic tickets.
They are dissatisfied with Bolshe-
vism because it represents the ex--
IRENE opposite of their own idea
of world salvation. They are
Anarchists, which means extreme
individualists, who would abolish
all government, whether it be
that of democracy or soviet,
while the Bolshevists are extreme
Socialists, who believe that the
government must regulate every
thing, even the number of limou-
sines and yachts man may have.
In Russia just now the soviet
government does not allow more
than one to each member of the
proletariat.

undivided support. Yet they nave
never forgotten the true function
of a public organ, which is to
take, whenever necessary, a de-
tached critical view of the move
ment, and especially of the organ
ization back of it, in order to
stimulate watchful attitude and
critical opinion on the part of
the public. There can be no
question that this has added
strength and stability to Zionism
in England and inspired greater
confidence and more intelligent
interest in it on the part of its
adherents.
The two Anglo-Jew papers
have of late repeatedly pointed
out the folly of the extravaganza
hopes pinned by the leaders and
spokesman of Zionism to the Bal
four Declaration and the San
Reno decision as long as the ex-
act terms of the British mandate
are unknown to us. What facili-
ties, what powers, what privi-
leges will Great Britain allow
us to enable us gradually to build
up the Jewish commonwealth?
All this clearly depends upon the
good will and the firm determine
ton Of England To what extent
these are in our favor regardless
of her imperialistic interests we
do not know. 1t is one thing
to call upon Jews to help with
their brains and their money in
the reclamation of country that
is an important link in her domin-
ions; and quite another to help
Jews rehabilitate this little coun-
try for themselves, as their very
own, their own state.
The Anglo Jewish papers are
also awake to the necessity of
more careful handling of Zionist
moneys by the different admins
trative bodies, and they are not
timid about calling attention to
criticisms and questionings on
that score on the part of the rank
and file Equally outspoken are
these papers in their disapproba-
ton of 'the practice which has
sprung up of allowing the COM
bining of permanent paid admin
istrative post with Executive Of
fce," to quote from recent edi-
torial of the Jewish Chronicle.
Yet these two Anglo-Jewish pa
pers are sincerely and staunchly
Zionistic, and have probably done
more for the Zionist cause in Eng
land than any other agency. They
criticize. thew reproye because

scR4WLED BY eREAI PoET7
Signature Of William Shakespeare, Be-
Iieved Genuine, Found on Wall
In Hampton Court.

The discovery Of the signature of
William Shakespeare, scrawled years
ago on the wall Of the haunted gal
lery" Of Hampton court, has just been
made In London. Shakespeare authori-
ties pronounce 1t authentic.
The disclosure was made when
Ernest Law, the court antiquarian, was
directing the renovations. On the wall
Of tie old retiring room he found, af-
ter cleaning 1t, the letter "S,' followed
by illegible letters, concluding IKE
speare," and beneath the rough sketch
Of hand and the date 1906.
1t is matter of history that the
Shakespeare company visited the pal
ace at the date set down and played
Hamlet" before the then King Chris
tfan of Denmark. The company dress
ed in tie haunted gallery" near the
great hall where the play was enacted.
The gallery, according, to ancient
tradition, Is haunted by the ghost of
Catherine Howard, one of Henry Wits
SIX wives, who was imprisoned there.
History tells that she escaped from
confinement while the king was pray
ing In his private chapel, and that her
flight was discovered by the court
guards, who dragged her screaming to
the king, interrupting his deyotions.
1t was long said that Catherine night
walked the gallery, shrieking. -Toron-

has never done suit or services to the

chosen only from those who have
served an apprenticeship of some years
to the corporation.
He must first be elected an alder
man by the ratepayers1 of his ward,
and accepted and sworn in by the
court of aldermen; then he must have
served the office of sheriff, to which
position he has to be elected by the
liverymen, and afterward approved
by the sovereign.
Then, and not till then. is he eligible

JAFFA GATE IN JERUSALEM
Passageway Through Which General
Allenby Entered 10 the Real
Article, Writer Says.

Jerusalem has seven gates and a
transportation problem handled at
present, as Of old, along purely East
eFn lines. There are donkeys, horses,
camels-even carriages and the
ubiquitous fivver and all that traffic
concentrates naturally at the gates,
just as, to increase its force, water
used to be made to flow through a
small opening in the oId-fashioned tide
mills at home. AS for telephones, who
that can shodt from roof to roof and
down the echolng street should trouble
himself to whisper Into q. funnel?
My windows are well placed. for l
can watch the crowd thronging in and
out of the Jaffa gate. writes William
d. McCracken in Asia. This is the
widest opening the city has, since
William II of Prussia had 1t enlarged
to permit his spectacular entry-a
symbolical pageant that he staged TO
represent his taking possession Of the
holy city by agreement with the sui
tan In Constantinople r But wide is
the gate which leadeth Hnt0 destrue-
ton. The real Jaffa gate is a narrow
one at the side of the wide passage
way; and this was thee one used by
Gen. Allenby when he entered Jerusa-
lem after Its capture. modestly. on

ish officer affects as his only scepter
of power. This gate is now closed
with heavy iron bars and win not be

status Of Jerusalem has been deter

LEGION MEN ON STRIKE DUTY
Ex-service Boys Aided In Maintaining
Order In Recent Disturbance at
Denver, Colo.

American Legion men have again
played part In maintaining law and
order during strike, without taking
part in the controversy. During the
disturbance In Denver which accom-
panied the tramway walkout, Legion
naires extended their assistance In
directing traffic. patrolling the resi-
dence district and doing general
guard duty. In the course of this
service one Legionnaire was ATTACKED
by thugs and badly beaten.
The Legionnaires were mobillzed for
duty Immediately following receipt Of
an appeal from Governor Shoup. A
statement was issued declaring that
the Legionnaires will be used in no
capacity except the maintenance of
law and order in the community, and
not in any manner bearing upon the
controversy between the tramway COM
pany and its employees"
That this decision was adhered to is
indicated in editorial comment by Den
yer newspapers which complimented
the veterans on their usefulness. The
American Legion made 1t perfectly
clear that 1t was out for the purpose
Of maintaining law and order" said
one paper. while another asserted that
Denver owes him 1.-THE Legion MANI
an everlasting debt Of gratitude.
A number of persons were killed and
injured In riots during the strike.

Blessing the Alpine Ropes.

Every summer. at the beginning Of
the climbing season In the Swiss noun
tains, solemn service is held among
the guides, many Of whom are cody
men who know they take their lives
in their hands when they ascend the
Alps. So they bring their ropes with
them and lay them at the foot Of one
of the mountains. Old and new ropes
are piled In heap, and then they are
blessed by the pastor Prayer is Of
fered that the old ropes may still bear
the strain safely and that the new
ropes may prove equal to all the stress
placed upon them. The guides are
commended 10 the mercy of God that
in their daily ascents they may be kept
safe and that they may succor the
travellers who trust in them.-F. Fl.

NEW CHANNELS IDEA
Claimed That It viii BE Of Vast I'm
portance In the Maintenance
of Barge Canals.

To aid in the maintenance of the
New York state barge canal. channel
sweeper has been devised, not here
tofore demanded by the construction
OF the older canals, writes Gordon p.
Gleason In Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. AS time goes on and the banks
disturbed by recent excavations as
sumo their natural slopes. the need of
dredging will become less. Investiga-
tons, however, show that within one
year sufficient material may be de-
posted within the canal to make the
available depth of water considera-
bly, less than the prescribed IL feet.
An example of this was found in the
channel east of Oneida lake. This was
completed In full 12-foot depth in
1909. yet, in 1917, 1t was so washed In
with sand that it was necessary to re-
move Thousands of cubic yards Of this
material.
To aid in the locating of obstruc-
tons In the canal the state engineer
has designed a novel channel sweeper,
and boat builders have been asked to
submit estimates as to the cost of
these so that three of them may be
placed on the canal
The new sweeper consists of two
boats. each Is feet long and 6 feet
wide. These are placed Is feet apart
and Joined by timbers. An operating
floor 30 feet long and S feet wide will
be constructed near the stern, and
suspended from this will be 6O-pound

Questions.
RABIES OR HYDROPHOBIA

Almost every one knows the story
of the heroic blacksmith, who, to save
the village children fought and killed
the Mad Dog" with his bare hands.
Severely bitten In the struggle, to pro-
tect others from injury in case mad
ness should come upon him, with his
own hands he riveted the iron band
around his ankle and forged the
chain which bound him to his anvil.
Grateful neighbors brought him
food and stayed to keep him COM
days which must pass until his fate
would be known. When his wounds
healed rapidly, they wanted to file
off his shackles, but the brave smith
refused. Soon he noticed numbness
of his limbs and tingling sensations.
It was difficult for him to swallow,
then came thirst-unendurable thirst
that could not be assuaged, for even
the sight of water was sufficient to
cause violent spasms of the muscles
of the throat. Hence the name, ely
drophobia"-"fearo of water" Gener-
al commissions followed, which were
succeeded by paralysis and unconsci-
BUSINESS, and so he died.
A few generations later came the
announcement from the laboratory of
the great French Scientist Pasteur,
that Rabies or Hydrophobia was pre-
ventable. Rabies is not conveyed from
one person to another but is always
the result Of infection from lower
animal, usually the dog. although it
may be transmitted by horses, cows,
cats, goats or other animals.
The virus of the. disease is found
in the saliva and is often present sew
eral days or week before the animal
exhibits signs of Madness" Infec-
ton is usually caused by the bite of a
rabid animal, but it may be anduced
by the mere licking of hand upon
which there is break in the skin.
Persons have been known to con-
tract the disease by scratching their
hands on the teeth Of horses or cattle
they were drenching from some sup.
posed other ailment.
The disease seldom makes it's ap.
pearance before three weeks and some
times as much as three months or
more elapse before it is manifest.
