Lodge Upsets Things.

The whole question of what the pres ident intends to do with respect to re- storing relations between the United States and Germany has been thrown into a state of confusion by the derla- ration of Senatol Lodge in ite Senate during the debate on the Knox peace resolution indicating that tna Versailles tIeaty could not be amerded t0 meet the requirements of the United States and that a new treaty with Germany was necessary No interpretation of this statement is obtainable, but ire cOncilahle senators show q supreme con fidence that the Versailles treaty will never again go before the senate in any form. Certainly the impression has been given that President Harding is i'll accord with his senatorial associates in their desire to ditch the whole Yer sailleS pact and negotiate q separate peace with Germany.
 Since President Harding delivered his address of April 12 not one word of an authoritative character has been oh tainahle from either the White House or the State Department as to the pur- noses of the administration with re Spect to making peace with the Ger man government. Efforts to obtain in- formation on the subject have produced no response. Informally and moffi- ciallv. however. the understanding has been that the president intends to re- submit the Versailles treaty in some form. thus carrying out his declaration that this would he the wiser course" |-GaZette

Famous Poet Calls on
Women of West to Save
Home and Family Life

Wettern civilization Is going the
pace that kills happiness aud woman
must save it.
b So says. Rabindranath Tagore, East
Indian poet, philosopher and Nobel
Prize winner, in an article written on
the eve of his departure for his school
at Bolpur. Bengal, after spending sew
eral mouths in the United States.
Tagore inspected our talLest build
ings, rode OH our fastest trains and
examined our most ingenious devices
for furthering comfort and ease. He
lived in luxurious hotels in cities
where 150 years before there vas moth
ing but. forests filled with savages.
These, however, are not signs of real
progress as Tagore sees it., for. he
says, the system that produced them
is destroying the citadel of human
happiness, the home.
Man is leaving and woman is being
driven out of the home. the poet says.
He sees our society as one filled with,
marital tragedies. Woman only can
now save man from the Unsuitable lust
for power and riches that is destroy

believes.

Tagore is convinced that western
women will rise to the emergency and
save man from civilization that he
has created. He says that "they
know that it is their duty to live the

The philosopher is not so clear as
to how they are to do this. He says

to such proportions in modern civili-

THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE JEW

the Declaration of Independence we
have been trying to live, seems likely
to be helped forward vety materially

large numbers of late, thu Hebrew. 1t
is n significant fact that The Hebrews
in New York during the last ten years
have, generally speaking, cast their
votes and voices in favor of the re-
form movements.
The Hebrew people have small sense
of leadership. This is a piece of
good fortune. If they had sense
Of leadership, they would join the
clan, or the hurrah of the. feudal lord,
or kiss the hand Of theeracy. Some
of them, as it is have aligned them
selves with powerful organizations.
But the ancientness of Hebrew civili-
zation, the very antiquity of their
political life, has carried the race as
whole beyond political organiza-
tion.
They represent moral rather than
military national ideal; principles
are tlearer to them than military or

made them individualistic. They oc-

LECTURE-RECITAL ON FOLK
SONGS.

Perhaps the sweetest singer of Jew
ish Folk music in this country was
heard at the Young Wonen's Hebrew
Association, of New York last week,
under the auspices Of the Hurwitz
Educational League. 1t was Mrs. Ro-
back who rendered the folk songs of
different nations: Anglo-Amcrican,
Arabic, German, French Chinese and
Jewish, by which DIR. A.. \. Roback of
Harvard university showed the
psychological differences among ma
tions.
Among other things, DIR. Roback
said: "The funny thing is, that
bankers and financiers will be put
down in educational biographies as
Jews, that is, there is tendency to
bring out Jewishness on the side of
the mercenary instinct, or their ac-
quisitive tendency, II tendency to show
up the vulgar, the inferior qualities
as Jewish, and to ignore or try to
ascribe to non-Jewish Influences all
that is sublime and great. This is
what we must fight against.
IF there is any kind OF music which
would tell us best what nation we are,
1t is folk music. 1t gushes from the
soul of the people. Music is a thing
that one cannot get along without. 1t
is language Now can we admit
that the Jews, who have been so musi-
cal who have given us SO many COM
posers, that this people have not had
folk singers of their own? 1t stands
to. reason that they must have had;
and only now we find out the large
number of singers we have. 1T is in
Russia that we look for the Jewish
singers. 1t is there that the raw
material is found.
After the lecture recital Prof. ana
Mrs. Roback were rendered dinner
by the Hurwitz Educational League
