truth. approached the same bar
tender with whom I had spoken In the
morning, and he must have recalled
me at once. for, without answering
my question he turned and called out
to a heavily set, red-faced fellow ut
the lower end of the bar.
Dan, here Is that guy who was
asking for Parker. He amt heard
nuthin' from him."
The other came forward, elbowlng
his way roughly through the crowd,
and looked me searchirgly in the face.
I'm Costigan," he said shortly. "They
tell me you're hunting Parker. Did
you have an appointment with him?"
"Yes; he was to meet me here this
morning. Then l left a telephone
number, but he hasn't called me-"
''He amt been back; that's the rea-
son. Come along with me; want a
private word with you"
followed him rather doubtfully, al
though his words and actions ap-
peared friendly enough ia gruff way.
He led the way to closed door at the
end Of the bar, which, when opened,
disclosed a small business Office, con-
tanning merely desk and two chairs.
To his rather gruff Invitation to sit
down, / accepted one of these, chew
ing at the cigar between my teeth, and
endeavoring to appear quite at ease.
Costigan, after securing the door, seat
ed himself at the desk, turning his
swivel. chair about so as to face me,
his freckled hands on his knees.

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions: The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
: An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, i'm
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 20
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send

IGENERAL SURVEY.

"Like Gentle, like JEWS a pref
ty gond paraphrase of the old saying,
"Wie es christelt sich, so auch juedelt
sich," which in this instance I would
interl ret by saying that America be-
ing young country, it's general liter
ature in the English language is young
AMI, consequently, not rich in Jewish
types.
Being young has it's good points as
we'll as it's disadvantages, particularly
if it is country that happens to be
enjoying the spring of life. To my
mind, young country is like an over
grown boy, still in knickerbockers, yet
with a craving in every fibre of his
strong, impetuous being for the long
trousers of an adult. Our literature,
likewise, has not yet quite left the
garb of youth, nor donned the raiment
of mature age. In other words, our
literature and especially our fiction,
are still in a stage of adolescence.
And adolescence is the dangerous
transition age, dangerous on account
of it's aspirations which result-alas
in very insignificant accomplish
ments. That is why American fc-
tion, which is comparatively poor in
works Of lasting value, contains even
a smaller proportion of worth while
novels or stories dealing directly or
indirectly with Jewish life.
And that is why, before going
ahead, it would be we'll to survey the
Jewish situation, if such it may be
termed, in this country. In my opin-
ion, Jewish life, as such, in America
began only with the commencement
of a large scale immigration from
Eastern and, partly, Central Europe
do not mean to imply that there had
not been Jews worth while in America
before the sixties or seventies of the
last century, but I do purport to say
that up to that period the Jews in
America had been both, small in num-
bers-although by no means insignifi-
cant in the country's life-and Of
type more or less easily assimilable.
It was only with the advent of the
later day immigrant from Russia, Po-
land, Roumania and Galicia that the
Jewish question, at least from a liter
ary point Of view, began in America.
And the Jewish question, the most i'm
portant aspect Of it, is the problem of
how the Jew gets along with his Gen
tile neighbors, their attitude toward
one another, their like or dislike and
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-01-14

their views and actions with regard TO
intermarriage-
Of all European countries, the Rus
sian Jew has been more frequently
and more ably represented in his coun-
try's literature than in any other land,
and for a very weighty and simple
reason-the Russian Jew had dwelt
side by side with his Gentle neighbors
for centuries and it was only natural
that the strongly realistic Russian lit
erature should turn it's attention to
the Jewish problem, to the relations
between Jew and Gentle, and there is
hardly Russian novel, short story,
or play written during the last twenty
or thirty years that does not portray
one or more Jewish characters. It is
also worthy of note that not only have
these characters been depicted by Jew
ish-Russian writer's but that even a
larger number are to be found in the
works Of non-Jewish authors.
The history of Jewish types in
American fiction, is quite different,
because it was only after the first i'm
migrants from Eastern Europe set
tied here that they began to be noticed
and at first served as subjects of hi
larious entertainment. America, like
the overgrown boy in knickerbockers,
cared but little for the soul of these
newcomers, for the treasures that lay
hidden in their hearts, and saw only
the bizarre, the ridiculous, the outland-
ish or, rather, the different. Young
America saw only the foreign dress
and habits of the newcomers and, ac-
cordingly, made use of them in its let
ters as the comic element.
But it did not take long and yester-
days immigrant became the articu-
late fiction writer of today and he
wrote in the tongue Of his adopted
country. He was first to write about
himself, his dreams and longings, of
his hardships and struggles, of the few
joys and numerous sufferings on the
new soil. To this period belong the
earlier stories of Abraham Cahan and
a few others whose very names have
sunk into the oblivion Of our tunult-
uous, rushing existence. Leaving out
for the present the question Of talent
to be found in these works, there. is
not the slightest doubt that these i'm
migrants gave of the very essence OF
their hearts and souls to their new
country, and it is equally true that
their works were but little appreciated
by their contemporaries. Again, the

boy in short trousers was not inter-
ested to find out what was going on
in the deepest recesses Of the souls of
these aliens and strangers.
Yet, the thirst for self-expression
on the part of the newcomers could
not be suppressed, and after a short
interval, found once more it's way into
print This was the second period,
the period of "Ridi, Pagliaccio," when
the immigrant, with aching soul and
bleeding heart, put on clowns mask
and began to delight his audience with
all sorts of funny antics. It was then
that matchmaker, Lapidowitch, his
confrere Keidansky, and last but not
least our friends, Potash and Perl
mutter, made their appearance. This
move, was indeed, success, at least
in so far as the material well-being
of the authors was concerned. 1t is
an old story that children appreciate
a circus performance much more than
"Hamlet" or even "Twelfth Night"
And so pseudo -comical Jewish types
became the vogue in American fiction
and gained great popularity with all
classes of readers.
More years passed, and American
fiction took a new turn. Like every
thing else from Europe, realism was
also late in reaching this country, but
come it did and has been vending it's
way to the American reader slowly
but surely during the last decade or so.
With the advent of realism there
came also new era for the Jew in
American fiction. Not only has the
number of Jewish authors increased,
but non-Jewish writer's have begun to
pay more attention to Jewish types.
The former began to write novels and
short stories in which they have tried
honestly, and to the best Of their abil-
ity, to represent the Jew, both the i'm
migrant and the one whose great.
grandparents had emigrated to this
country, and this was the real dawn
of the Jewish type in American lit
erature. AS for the non-Jewish Amer
ican authors, like their Russian COL
leagues, they began to regard the Jew
not only as curiosity, but as sub
ject we'll worth while studying and
portraying in their works. 49,.
1t will be the object of the subse-
quent articles to take up each period
in detail, to point out the good and
bad work done so far and to attempt
to outline the path which that part of
American fiction dealing with. Jew
ish types, will or ought to treat. +"

JEWISH WAR SUFFERERS
CAMPAIGN FOR 1921.

Louis Marshall, chairman of
the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee, announced today that the
only authorized campaign in 1921
to secure funds to carry on emer-
gency and reconstructive relief
among the Jewish war sufferers
of Eastern and Central Europe
and Palestine was that to be con-
Quoted by the American Jewish
Relief Committee beginning early
next fall.
"This campaign will be for
$14,OOO,OOO, the amount determ-
ined upon as the irreducible min
imum necessary to round out the
American Jewish Relief work
which has been carried on for the
past six years and to facilitate
the efforts of the Jews of the war
swept districts to become once
more self-supporting," Mr.. Mar
shall said.
The campaign of the Amerl
can Jewish Relief Committee will
be held in connection with the
Central Relief Committee and the
Peoples Relief Committee, the
funds of these three Jewish Re-
lief societies being distributed in
Europe by the Joint Distribution
Committee, the only Jewish or
ganization with relief machinery
functioning throughout Poland,
