at all improbable that the future
will witness a larger Jewish i'm
migration into France than was
witnessed by the past. This may
be expected, especially from the
fact that the immigration laws
in this country are from year to
year becoming more stringent,
and from the further fact that
of the thousands and tens of
thousands of Jews who have
ever since the Balfour Declare
ton been preparing to leave for
Palestine are finding the land of
our Fathers closed to mass i'm
migration of Jews from Eastern
Europe.
AS matter of fact, it is never
safe to predict the future of any
people as regards it's religious as
pirations. Especially is it unsafe
to predict the future of the relig-
ious aspirations of the Jewish
people. It is not so very long ago
that somewhat similar picture
used to be painted of Judaism in
America. Innumerable times
within our own recollection the
Swan Song was plaintively sung
for American Judaism. Yet with
in the past two decades Judaism
in this country has constantly
been gaining in strength so that
today it is conceded even by
those who at one time assumed
an attitude of distrust or indiffer-
ence to Jew and Judaism in this
country that America has become
a strong and very respectable
center for Jewish ideals and as
pirations. Italy, too, had long
been given up for dead to Jewish
life and Jewish ideals. Yet with
in the past few years there have
been more evidences of quick
ened Jewish life and interest in
Italy than there had been in that
country for several generations.
Who, then, has any right to fore
tell with any degree of certainty
the future fate of Judaism in any
particular country or, for that
matter, in the world at large?
Judaism has survived and -four
ished under conditions that might
have readily spelt death and ex-
tinction to any other faith. 1t
is only fair and reasonable, there
fore, to suppose that even now,
when the faiths of many people
and in several countries seem to
be crumbling, Judaism will
emerge everywhere from the
world crisis with added strength
and new inspiration and will con-
tinue as force and factor for
Justice and righteousness in
human life and human conduct.

NEUTRAL" JEWISH OR
CARNATIONS
The Keren Hayesod Confer
ence to be held here shortly has
placed several local branches of
national organizations in an awk-
ward position. To take an active
part will, it is claimed, conflict
with the policy of the national
organization to take sides in con-
troversial matters. To refuse to
take part in this or similar Jew
ish undertaking is also unpleas-
ant, as the organization lays
itself open to the taunt: If it were
the Chinese or Armenians or
some other foreign group
wouldn't we gladly aid them?
Should we refuse to cooperate
in the Keren Hayesod conference
just because we are a Jewish or
ganization and this is a Jewish
cause working specifically for
Palestine? g.,
Now the national organization
feels, and not entirely without
reason, that in controversial mat
tiers, it prefers to take neutral
stand that will be equally accept
able to all it's members. But un-
fortunately the result is that it's
stand is usually equally unaccept-
able to almost all it's members.
The question arises: Are these
national organizations within
their rights in asking their local
branches to remain neutral on
Jewish questions? Local branches
are organized so that the work
of the national organization can
be best done in each community.
To do so, the local branch must
have regard to the sentiment in
the community. 1t cannot afford
to make itself unwelcome or ap-
parently Gin the wrong" If the
sentiment of the community or if
the members of the organization
is strongly in favor of a certain
attitude, should it be possible for
a small minority to thwart the
will of large majority, merely
on the technicality that it is
against the policy of the national
organization to take a stand on
one question or another?
Besides, are neutral" organ
izations always neutral? If So
ciety has a goodly number of
members who object to food that
is not kosher. Is an organization
neutral when, though knowing

You just cannot classify him.

This is the slogan of a new nation

The movement has back Of 1t far

o. F. LOSETH'S SON LOSES
HEAVILY IN GARAGE FIRE

The following article appearing
in a Minnesota paper of October
oath, was handed us for publication
by o. F. Loseth. whose son, Oden
Loseth, was the loser in the fire re-
ferred to in the article.
A long distance telephone mes
sage from the Journals Underwood
correspondent brings news of the
total destruction of the Odin Loseth
garage and office building at that
| place at an early hour Sunday morn
ing. The garage was located close
to the lake and vas a storage gar
age, not a repair establishment
Mr.. Loseth, who handles the |
mobiles in that locality, had a stock
of twelve autos and trucks on hand
This stock included two new Old
Fights, both seven passenger carr
and worth something over $1,000
each: a new six-sylinder nve-pas-
senger Olds: a new Six Sedan;
new Odds Truck; q new Stoughtor
truck; a nearly new Willys-Knigh'
car: a nearly new Overland and foul
or five other autos and trucks.
The garage was a large frame
building, substantially built. TIT
fire was discovered shortly before
O'Clock Sunday morning and wa
blazing fiercely in the interior O
the building. Citizens, aroused b!
the flames, FASTENED to the scene
but it was impossible to enter ant
get out any Of the cars on accoun
OF the heat.
The village Is without fire pro
lection. but a bucket brigade wa
formed and water vas carried from
the lake and from pumps through
out the neighborhood, and poured
onto adjoining buildings. Fortu
nately. there was only a very Iigh
wind and still more fortunately, 1
was blowing off shore, so that tn
sparks were largely carried on
across the lake.
The flames rose higher and high
er and made a most spectacular dis
play In the early morning hours

Ucz Fierce ynaions

these events were occurring capt.
Clark and the Twisted-hair arrived
among them when the panic-tricken
Indian saw the hand shaking with
the indian who had stayed and the
sincere friendliness OF the whites
they returned and joined in the
welcome.
The weary white men lay about
ing the object Of so much curiosity
to the red men. The Indians( tell
that as thiy sized up these strangers
some of them hardly believed them
to be whites, for they looked so tan
ned and emaciated and their dress
SO much like their own that II rev
of the Indians spoke of them as
only sick Indians. Lewis has men
toned in several instances where
the whites would have to null up
their sleeves and show the Indians
their true color.
Lewis says: 1.-THE fiat was now
crowded with Indians who came to
see the persons Of the whites, ana
the strange things they brought
with them; but our guide was a
perfect stranger to their language;

to the situation of TIE country, the
courses of the rivers, and the indian
villages, of which we received inror-
nation from several of the Indians,
and as their accounts varied bur
little from each other we were in
duced TO place confidence in them.

two hardy ''old-timers" went back
on Hungry creek with one horse be-

search over those rugged hills for
the renegade cayuse. Night COM

killed by the Clark party was eaten.
Tho head Of the horse, which had
been refused by the Lewis party was
roasted by these two men, "and
they supped on the ears, skin, lips.

the track of the cayuse and soon re
covered the saddle bags containing
the valuables, at length they found
the animal, and both being now
mounted they started forward to re-
