U. S. IS HELD LIABLE
Court Blames Railroad for Los.
ses in CIoquet Fire.


st. Paul-The United States railroad
administration Is liable for damages
resulting from the Cloquet fire of 1918,
laid to the Great Northern railroad at
that time operated by the federal gov
eminent, the Minnesota state supreme
court decided.
Total liabilities for 27S cases which
have been reviewed will reach ap-
proximately 100000, whereas the
grand total of liability for the entire
group of approximately 1000 cases
will reach an amount aggregating be-
tween $12,000,O00 and $15.00O,O0
The case originally was brought be-
fore the st. Louis county district court
in the case of Phillip Hall against
James c. Davis. an agent of the Presi-
dent under the transportation act
The st. Louis court held that gov
eminent railroad administration liable
The director general moved for
amended findings on a new trial and
the motion was denied by the st. Louis
county authorities. The federal au.
thorities then appealed from this to
the state supreme court, and. the su
preme court in its decision denied the
appeal.
The finding of the Duluth court was
that the defendant was responsible for
the destruction of property in this fire
of October, IL, 1918. In the order
signed by Judge w. A. Cant of Du
luth, Philip Hall, claimant in this par
ticular case, is entitled to $7.400 dam
ages
According to the findings the fre
was started at Mile Post 62, distances
13 miles from Cloquet, and then swept
into the city. The claim Of the rail
road company was that other fires or
iginating south and east of CloQuet
caused the losses. The court. however
disagreed, denied the petition fol-
amended findings or new trial.

~ REATNESS and the presidency
NJ found John Tyler down on one
knee, playing "knucks" with his boys
In I pathway of his dooryard in Will
liamsburg, that stately old vice-regal
village Of colonial Virginia. He had
not even heard that Harrison was i'll.
until destiny, without steam. wire or
rail to carry 1t, sped to him from Wash
tngton by boat and buggy with the
news that the president had been dead
q day and that the empty presidential
chair was awaiting the vice president.
Tyler belongs among the third or
fourth-rate presidents. Although a
clean-handed, kindly man of good pres
ence and polished manners, he was
a mediocre country lawyer and mar
row-minded politician. with a gift for
getting Offices that he had no gift for
filling.

White House, Its door closed against

1t takes an artist-statesman to
appreciate the soul-harmonies of
a fellow artist-statesman. What
Mr.. Morgenthau's special line in
the domain of art is, we do not
know. At one time he was
very successful real estate oper-
ator in Manhattan. From that
to statecraft and the fine arts is
but a short step. We have no
doubt that an ambassadorship in
Poland will satisfy both his artis-
tic cravings and his diplomatic

THE AMERICAN JEWIsH WORLD

Poland, and Hungary can wipe
out a whole Jewish community,
with no one to stay their brutal,
murderous hands.
The writer of the editorial in
the Christian Science Monitor is
really not so stupid as to mean
all he says. Our explanation of
the case, given at the beginning
of this article is, we think, the
correct one. Christian Science,
in spite of appearances, has been
making no greater progress
among Jews than have other
Christian cults. That is the
great disappointment in the Gin
ner circle" That has been the
great disappointment of tn e
Christian church from the very
beginning. And SO, why waste
charity and love- or even JUS
tice and fairness on the stiff
necked Jews? The Christian
Science Monitor, therefore, in
patting idiotic Henry on the
back, is playing a consistent part.

MICHAEL TEFFERY

The death of Michael Jeffrey
after very brief illness is more
than a personal loss to his many
friends it is in very keen way
shared by many circles in the
community at large. Always
modest, quiet and unassuming
he still was able to exert a strong
personal influence upon those
with whom he came into contact.
He embodied in a happy manner
the old and the new in Jewish
life. Born in Roumania, and very
early subjected to a strongly
Jewish influence, he imbibed
deeply at the fount of Jewish
wisdom and grew up in the love
of the Torah. Before coming to
America, he had lived for some
years in London, where, inhu-
enced by the English type Of
Judaism he learned to love the
combination of Orthodoxy, mod
ern ideas, decorum and rever-
ence. Such a combination, in
the synagogue and in Jewish life
at large he always longed for,
and to the best of his ability
helped to make it possible. Prob
ably that is why he enjoyed to
such a degree the esteem of
many elements in the commun-
ity, an esteem that was so beauti-
fully expressed at the funeral
services in the Adath Yeshurun.
His memory will be cherished by
those who were privileged to
know him, and his example will
long serve as evidence that at
tachment to things Jewish and
to the culture of the day can go
hand in hand gracefully in our
day, as in every past age of Jew
ish existence.-C. D. M.

HENRY MORGENTHAU, AM
BASSADOR TO POLAND?

A most fitting tribute can be
paid Henry Morgenthau for his
devotion to the cause of Poland
by appointing him U. S. Minister
or Ambassador to that republic.
Of course, his appointment
would not be to the liking of the
Jews of Poland. But that should
not make any difference to Nor
genthau, or the Poles, or even
Our own government that, judg-
ing by the recent anti-immigra-
ton bills, seems to have no par
ticular love for Polish Jews.
Henry Morgenthau's devotion
to things Polish is very touch
ing. There is, for instance, Jan
Paderewsky, the greatest pianis,
among modern European states
man-Paderewsky who invested
his hard-earned American shek-
els in a Polish newspaper, the
sole mission of which was to
make life unbearable to the Jews
of Poland. Well, Paderewsky is
again in this country, and on
March 9 dinner was given him
by his admirers at the Hotel
Aston, New York. Who should
be the manager of the affair, in
charge of all arrangements, but
friend Morgenthau? Not only
that, but in the course of eulogy
on the honored guest Morgen-
THAI said:
"Paderewsky was one of the
greatest spokesman at Paris. He
was the voice of the great desires
in the heart of humanity. He was
capable of transmitting into &C
ton the hopes and aspirations of
the entire Polish nation. To us
he has always been the greatest

THE MARTIAL JULIUS
KAHN.

KAHN.
Congressman Julius Kahn,
Chairman of the House Military
Affairs Committee, speaking the
other day at Temple Bethel,
Detroit, under the auspices of
the Mems Temple Club, said that
America should be so we'll pre-
pared for war that no nation or
possible combination of nations
would dare afront her. He
urged the arming of the United
States through universal train
ing, development of poison gas,
the production of the latest in
cannon, warships and fighting
aircraft. Said the bel1icose Con-
gresham:
Everyone, from the 9 months
old baby on up, wants to fight.
War is inevitable. The Lord
only knows how soon there will
be another war and He only
knows what horrors the new
type of warfare will bring. We
have great world wars about
once every century and I do not
see another on the horizon now
but we will have lesser wars"
Not questioning the propriety
and fitness of such an address in
a Jewish house of worship, (our
rabbis having taught that the
reason iron was not to be used
in the construction of an altar is
that instruments of war are made
of it) we merely wish to say that
it i'll becomes a Jew to play the
part of Mars in Congress. Some
day, perhaps, Congressman Kahn
will realize what many Of the
wisest men of tie age have all
along realized, that such prepare
ton for war as he advocates is
the surest way Of bringing on
war. Russia, Germany, France
and England followed this policy
for a generation. and the result
has been a world war and pres
ent world chaos.
What Congressman K h n
should use his influential posi-
ton in Congress for is to make
America the most insistent and
persistent spokesman of the COM
plete disarmament of all nations.
