"All right" said Miss Rathbun.
Up to this time Miss Rathbun had
been to me nothing more than a

myself wondering about her--there
is something wistful in her wide
blue eyes, something of the look

Sheldon Blake's death.
On the next morning. however,
Miss Rathbun did something which
brought my waverinG attention to

III. ON WITH THE MOTLEY

Thus, the era of Heart, Soul and
World-Sadness came and passed. 1t
did not disappear entirely, for how
could it? There was too much mis-
cry, too much sorrow in the life of
the Jewish immigrants to allow them
to forget their troubles, and those
Jewish writer's who had given express
sion to their sufferings, now retired
into the background to come
back at an opportune moment.
Meanwhile, the thirst for self-ex-
preston was still there, but the new
writers realized that in Rome one
must be like the Romans and that
plaintive walls would not reach the
hearts of the American reading pub
lie. And they therefore resolved
consciously or unconsciously-to gain
it's attention by making the readers
laugh, by performing clownish stunts,
even though their hearts might be
bleeding and souls aching during the
performance.
This gave rise to the era of "Vesti
La Giubba"- On with the Motley, and
resulted in the literary birth of
Matchmaker Lapidowitz, Potash and
Perlmutter and few more types-if
types they be-of East-Siders and
former denizens of that much -mooted
section of New York whom financial
success enabled to leave the inferno
of the immigrant for the tents Of
purgatory and perhaps, ultimately,
even for the haunts of truly Amer
ican paradise.
Now, who and what is Matchmaker
Lapidowitz, whose spiritual father is
Bruno Lessing (Bloch)? Read
through the book "With the Best In
tentions" and see for yourself. All I
found there was considerable
amount of hilarity, a number of
"smart" tricks and ruses employed by
the principal character in the pursuit
of his profession, which consists
mainly, to use the colorful Yiddish
idiom, in bringing together wall
with wall, producing garrett, and,
in general, in the pursuit of wealth
without working for it.
Is this true? Is this typical of the
average East-Side matchmaker or any
other Jew engaged in a similar occu-
patton to make ends meet? Abso-
lute1y not Of course, any one in the
"wall with wall'' business very often
finds himself in ridiculous situations
and must very frequently resort to

Jewish Types in American Fiction

cunning and tricks. But is this all +?
Is there nothing else to Lapidowitz's
soul, to his heart, to his better self?
"But Lessing's stories are intend
ed to be humorous, and deal therefore
only with the lighter side of things"
i hear my argument answered. True
enough, but no story can be actually
and genuinely humorous that does not
go more than skin deep into the psy-
chology of its characters, that does
not show the reader the unseen tears
beyond the visible and audible laugh
ter. In other words, Lessing pre-
sents only the ludicrous side of Lapid-
owitz and none of his better self
which undoubtedly even a matchmak-
er possesses. In this he follows the
majority of his American colleagues
who tackle the superficial without
paying any attention to the inner, to
the hidden. Those who portray the
Lapidowitzes and similar characters
would do well to realize once and for
all that in order to be really humor-
GUS, story or novel must depict the
very depths of mans character, must
show the tragic together with the
comical, of setting the contrast be-
tween the two and thus making the
comical element more humorous and,
hence, more enjoyable.
If in "With the Best Intentions"
only the scheming, tricky side of the
hero's character is brought out; if
the other side which, perhaps is al
ways at war with the lower traits
of his character is entirely neglected;
if Lapidowitz is a dry, selfish mate
rialist-at least in his creators pres
entation, then Montague Glass
"Potash and Perlmutter" suffers
from too much idealization Who, in
deed, has ever met such honest, de-
voted and loyal persons-in the cloaks
and suits trade, or in any other walk
Of life-as these two inseparables?
True, both are grumblers, but at bot
tom, the best of men to be found in
New York City. 1t is possible that
Glass was Influenced in his tendency
by the desire to show the Jew in a
better light than he had heretofore
been depicted in American fiction of
the burlesque variety. Whatever his
intention, however, the result is far
from gratifying. Potash and Perl
mutter are not real personages but
rather living dialogues. 1t is re-
markable that whatever the author
says himself, is very pale and insignif-

cant and it is only when he repro
duces the English or rather the Eng
lish jargon of the two manufacturers
that he succeeds in evoking a smile
on the readers face.
Again, as in the case Of Lapidowitz,
we get no glimpse Of the inner work
ings of the heroes souls, the inner
lives and the motives-except the
very superficial ones-which govern
their conduct and actions. Potash and
Perlmutter, together with all the Sec
ondary characters of the stories, ap-
pear before us like performers in
farce or cheap comedy in a sort of
funny dance, in burlesque syncopa-
tion. AS I have already mentioned,
the only difference between Glass
characters and those of Lessing and
others is that Potash and Perlmut-
ter are supposed to be honest and
upright gentlemen, we'll intentioned
and good-natured, in fact, at times,
too good to be true. They go out of
the way to do each other a service
and, in general, are. types of "good"
Jews.
Needless to say, much of the humor
in their conversation is due not only
to their peculiarly twisted English but
also to the numerous Hebrew and
German phrases with which it is in
terspersed. The readers, not UNDER
standing, are apt to and do laugh at
these foreign elements in Potash's and
Perlmutter's speech.
The same must be said of all the
other characters in the Potash and
Perlmutter series-who are invari-
ably funny, but only specifically so.
1t seems as though Glass missed an
opportunity to give true picture of
the cloaks and suits trade, by skim
ming the surface only. Another sin
of omission is similar to that of
Dumas historical romances in which
the common people never figure, and
only kings, queen and dukes and 9TH
er exalted personages fill the pages.
Likewise, in Glass stories we come
across only the "aristocracy" of the
cloaks and suits trade-the manufac-
turers, the salesmen, the lawyers, but
hardly ever do we meet those who toll
and produce all those garments in the
sweat Of their brow. They seem to be
almost non-existent, nor can one pos
sibly learn of the attitude of Potash
and Perlmutter towards their
"hands", which attitude is, first, last
and foremost, the true measure Of a
man, particularly if he happens to be
an employer. Cordial treatment of
ones superiors or equals is by no
means an indication of mans real
character-it is his treatment of those
dependent on him that gives an ade-
quate idea of it. Why did not Glass
attempt to show this Or, perhaps,
had he done it, the two amiable gen
tlemen would be shown in their true

LONDON, April 26.--A riot was mar

cruelty and inhuman treatment of Brit

To-day's dispositions were chiefly re-
iterations Of statements already pub
lished concerning the German treat
rnent of prisoners. Main interest cen
te,ed in the testimony against Captain
Muller, who was comnandant Of the
prison camp at Flavy-le- Martel, near
ST. Quentin, where a thousand British
soldiers were confined early in 1918
The witnesses said that the prisoners
were herded into three huts totally in
adequate to accommodate them and
that the general sanitary and food con-
dltions in the camp caused the illness
and death of many prisoners, whose
sufferings were horrible. Muller also
was accused of inficting bodily injury
on prisoners by riding them down while

During examination the Ger.
man attorneys attempted to show that
the food given the British prisoners
was similar to the German rations and
that Muller tried to improve condi-
tons when he assumed control of the

u. S. Tariff Protested
By Buenos Ayres Papers
Protection Seen as Contradic.
ton to Harding's Plea for
Pan.American Unity

BUENOS AYRES, April 26.--In their
comment on President Harding's ad-
dress at the recent Bolivar celebration
in New York, the Buenos Ayres news
papers seize upon what they character
ize as the apparent contradiction be-
tween the desires of the United States
to cement unity among all the coun-
tries of the American continent and
her protection policy, as expressed in
the pending emergency tariff legisla-
ton
Closer relations between South and
Central America and North America
are both natural and desirable. declare
the commentators, but the erection of
a tariff wall by the United States would
not only prevent the development of
this desire but would go far toward
making it impossible of realization,
they insist.
While South America, says La Razon,
sings the Pan-American chorus, "the
United States, which is the soloist, is
singing a very different song" 1t thinks
moral lines of the past few years
toward making the ideal a practical
reality are in danger of destruction as
the result of legislation which, it pre-
diets, would bar South America to a
large extent from the United States
market.
La Nacion praises "the evident sin
cerity of President Harding's ideas"
but regrets that his party, it says, has
seen fit to take steps that it predicts
will have consequences (which to say
the least would lessen the favorable
feeling for great union and more in
innate relations between the peoples of
America"

TO Home Problems
Harding and His Advisers
Discuss Farm and Rail
Relief and Development
of Alaskan Pulp Industry

From The Tribune's Wash .seton Eursaa
WASHINGTON, April 26. Domestic
problems, such as relief for the farmers
and the development of the wood pulp
resources of Alaska. were taken up to-
day by President Harding with his
Cabinet. which remained n session con
slderably longer than the usual two
hours. Another domestic PROPOSE
tion involving the establishment Of a
new department of government. proba
bly, a welfare department. was dis
cussed at length. The railroad situa-
ton obtruded itself into the general
discussion at frequent intervals, but
too day there were no DEVELOPMENTS OF
a striking nature to be considered.
Relief OF the news print situation
oy aeVeioDlng the wood pulp resource
OF Alaska was dwelt upon at length.
1t is subject in which the President
a publisher himself, is keenly in
terested. Plans for development OF
the extensive resources Of Alaska in
this commodity were laid before the
members of the Cabinet. and it is
understood that detailed plan is be-
ing worked out by the Department of
Commerce.
The policy of the Federal Reserve
board banks in contributing to the
relief of the general situation. particu-
larry as to the farmers, was outlined
to the Cabinet by the President and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
The President and his advisers feel
that the agricultural sections and in
some localities, the industrial sections
are desperately in need of such as
sstance. 1t is believed that the liberal
policy Of long term credits and lack
OF pressure Oh paper due on the part
OF the banks will go far toward aiding
the economic situation. 1t was brought
out IN the discussion that such a policy
IS not to encourage speculation in any
way, but to promote better feeling in
agricultural and industrial sections.
several avenues of approach toward
solution of the railway problem have
been opened up, the President init
mated to his advisers. The Chief Ex.
ccutive has not concluded his series oil
conferences with representatives OF
railroad labor. and until he does, viii
not place definite program of relie.
measures before the Cabinet
controversy has arisen concerning
the designation of the new department
of government recently created by Con
gress, it was revealed at the Cabinet
meeting. There are some who woulc
like to see established a Department OF
Education aside from the welfare serv-
ice. There will be Department OF
Health at all events and others be-
llevc that educational schools should
rate as a department of their own. The
President is inclined to favor the foun-
dation Of a welfare department and the
r:ajority of the members of his Cab
met feel the same way Whether a man
or woman shall head the proposed bu-
reau has not given the President any
concern. The law. when enacted. did
aot contemplate any controversy in re-
,ard to the selection.

MILAN, Italy, April 26.-Fascisti, or
Extreme Nationalists, from Trento in
vaded Tyrolean fair at Bozen to-day
where the people were celebrating the
sentimental p,eplscite in the Innsbruck
district which voted $1,000 to 1900 in
favor Of annexation to Germany. The
people Of Bozen came under Italian
sway when southern Tyrol was an
nexed to Italy after the war and the
Fascist resented the celebration. In
fighting that followed the Fascist shot
Schoolmaster Ennerholfer through the
heart, killed another citizen and wound
ed twenty-nine. The Fascist threw
bombs and fred on a parade at the
feir of oX~drawn wagons containing
singing girls.
The Tyroiesc are incensed. In a
proclamation they announced their in
tention of defending themselves now
that the Italian government had failed
to prevent such assaults.
Elsewhere in Italy the incident is
deplored. Tyrol ordinarily is free from,
political disturbances
