The Peoples Say
ACTION OF COUNCIL

A POLITICAL MOVE Editor of TimeS:-
 The action of the Common Council at the Special meeting Monday even ing in approving the addition of six first class firemen to the roster of the Fire department is looked upon throughout the City as political move to bolster up the forces of the Mayors forces in the coming cleo ton.
 The six men are to be detailed to Mo- 6 Engine house at Central and Barnum avenue to operate the Chem ica1 now installed in that house, this in spite of the fact that for the past year the Chemical has done it's work thoroughly and efficiently without ad- ditiona1 men being added to the De- partment-
 The detail of the Chemical to No. 6 House was done upon the suggestion and thought of Chief Engineer Daniel P. Johnson who in his recommenda- ton to the Board of Fire Commis- sioners stated that he would operate such Chenqica1 so that it would not require any addition to the personnel. This was done by using four men from the truck company who drove the fast Chemical to the fire reaching there before the heavier truck and other apparatus, the four men would use the Chemical on the fire and as it is known among firemen the Chemical tank becomes exhausted in about six or eight minutes, by that time if the fire was too great for chemical use the men would turn too and assist the members of the truck company in etc. This method which Chief John son suggested and has carried out all this time has worked to good advan- tage and has proven a great saving to the Taxpayers and added without any cost to the efficiency of the depart ment.
 It does seem peculiar to the people that the Board of Fire Conpmission- CTS can give two weeks vacation with pay to the members of the Fire De- partment and then need six extra men to work the Chemical that has for the past year done the work well. The firemen who do take the vacation of course repay their time by working a double shift to make up for the time taken off but it is possible that the firemen would be willing to take | turns working a double shift to save putting on six extra men in these days when economy is the watchword of | every family and every City. | Great interest will be taken in the men to be appointed and we can | judge from the past that only those basking in the Mayors inner circle will be the recipients of the rewards. | CITIZEN,

Cleveland, Aug. IT. = What is the stuff that ideal husbands are made of?
 The American, with his caveman methods, falls far short of the ideal Of Mlle- Julie Jarry. She has thought 1T over and decided that a Frenchman will submit more gracefully to fem1- nine management.

THOUSANDS OF <. RUSSIAN JEWS
 CROSS BORDER

Berlin, Aug. 16. - Thousands of
 Russian Jews are crossing the Es-
 thonian, Lithuanian, and Polish bord-
 CTS every month, many sent from So-
 viet territory under protection Of high
 Bolshevist officials, according to trav-
 e1ers in the border states who recent
 ly have returned here. The opinion
 in neighboring states is that the exo-
 dus is prompted by fear of an ap- preaching crisis.
 The rumored crises in Russia al- ways have been discounted here but in well-informed sources it is believed the situation really is serious now, and will be more serious in the winter months, for it is known the grain crops largely have failed, provisions of all sorts are scarce, and there IS | little gold with which to purchase more.
 Starvation already has taken toll | of the population of a number of dis | tricts, and wide areas are facing the | longer winter with only a few weeks | supply of provisions on hand. The fact that no appreciab1e or ganized Russian anti Bolshevist I Wrangelfs forces were dissipated | leads observers of the situation here | to believe that should the overthrow | of the Soviet's occur this winter it will | take the nature fo a popular upris- | ing supported by such troops as are | not at the front. Many fear it will re- | suit in a widespread anti-Jewish | program.
 | For these reasons every Jewish
 family of means. and many that are
 destitute, are attempting to get out 1 of Russia. They have no desire to 1 tarry in LithuaIrfa or Esthonia, but
 are seeking to enter Germany, with
