which naturally would be expected 20

CRITICISM OF DEMAND
HEARD ON ALL SIDES.
Biting criticism of Frances unlocked
for action was heard today on all sides.
While the diplomatic courtesies and in
ternational amenities were observed so
far as public comment went, the delegates
from other powers did not hesitate to ex-
press privately in strong terms their dis
approval Of the French demand.
Not content with maintaining the
greatest standing army in the world,
France now wants the greatest navy as
we'll" said one diplomat. "And all this
she demands while she continually cries
her poverty to the world. she justified
her great army by pointing at Germany.
1 suppose she will Justify her demand
for a great navy by pointing to the men
ace Of little Holland
This was q fair sample of the ca lstic
comment that prevails in diplomatic quar-
tiers as the committee of fifteen, which
has to deal directly with the French re
quest, went back into secret session at
the Pan-American building.
The belief is general that once they
realize what a hornets nest they have
stirred up, the French VIII withdraw
their demand.
FRENCH AND BRITISH
GOODNESS INTENSIFIED.
Meanwhile the distinct GOODNESS be-
tween the French and British in Wash
fngton has been intensified by the latest
developments. British representatives
have been more outspoken than others
in their condemnation of the French
policy and 1t was an official spokesman
for the British who first communicated
to the press the news Of Frances de-
mand In the secret session of the naval
committee.
This fact has made the French highly
indignant So incensed were they over
the matter Of the leak" that Ambassador
Jusserand called on Secretary Hughes
last night and had an extended converse
ton in which 1t is understood he voiced
a vigorous protest. It was even reported
in French quarters that an investigation"
would be demanded.
II was also intimated in French guar
ters that an open session would be de-
manded so that France could publicly
clear herself Of the charges that have
been made against her in other quarters.
Ambassador Jusserand is understood to
have complained bitterly that while the
French were maintaining the silence that
has been agreed upon, Others meaning
the British, are doing considerable talk
ing-to the detriment Of his country.

EDl TOR lAL
IMMODEST DANCING.

A great hue and cry is being
raised by some of Our over-zealous
reformers about the immodest or
vulgar terpsichorean perform
ances in which young people now
adays engage-immodest in cos
tune and indecent in action, SO
they tell us. They see in it
good argument for the abolition
of this popular amusement, for
the prohibition of the new dances
by law or church decree.
We believe that their magma
ton is unduly overweight over
the matter. There is nothing in
decent or vulgar about the new
dances, as far as we have been
able to discover, if they are in
dulged in by the right people in
the proper place and proper en-
vironment. Whatever immodesty
or indecency they give rise to is
due to the character of the young
people themselves, and the place
certain public dance-halls-in
which such young people are
allowed to disport themselves.
What can we do about it?
Surely there is no way of max
ing people moral, decent, and
proper by law. All such attempts
have so far proved complete fail
ures. Nor can we expect the city
police-force or any other agency
of law and order to keep strict
surveillance over all places Of

airy forces, political as well as
religious, but mostly religious,
who behind their anti-Sernitic
smoke-screen are trying to ac-
complish their own nefarious pur-
poses, the re-establishment of
their tyrannic power. This is an
old trick. It has been played
many times before. That there
are Germans among these reac-
tionaries, goes without saying.
But there are Poles and French
men, and Englishmen among
them, too. And in this country,
too, there are among them those
who wish to parade as one hun
dred per cent American. They
are the ones who are taking adj
vantage of poor, brainless idiot,
Henry, and his ill-gotten mil
lions. Why blame the Germans
only?

tits up to parents, and parents
only, to safeguard their children
against all such evil influences
and moral dangers. When the
parents, and particularly the
mother, who is anxious about the
morals of her children, will keep
informed about the character of
the amusement place her off
springs frequent, and the kind of
people they are likely to consort
with in such a place, and will use
parental authority to prevent
them from going to places of
questionable character, the evil
will be reduced to a minimum.

WHY BLAME THE
GERMANS?

1GNMk11N09
We are neither pro-German,
nor, now that the war has been
over for two and a half years,
anti German. The Germans have
allowed themselves to be misled
by their ruling class to start the
terrible war conhagration, and
now they are suffering for it. We
can only pity them both for their
wicked folly and their present
plight.
We, therefore, fail to see why
some of Our Jewish confreres are
determined to seek and to find
German influence in the present
recrudescence of Jew-hatred in
many spots of the civilized world.
To be sure. organized and per-
niciously active anti-Semitism
has for several decades been a
social and political factor in Ger
man life. AS is well-known, the
Germans have developed a GER
tain thoroness in all things. And
so their anti-Semitism, too, was
carried on with a high degree of
ruthless perfection.
But almost simultaneously an
ti-Semitism sprang up in France,
and eliminated in the notorious
Dreyfus affair. 1t is by no means
extinct there yet. Shall we say
that in this regard France al
lowed herself to be influenced and
guided by Germany? Right now
Jew-hatred is not without it's ex-
ponents in England, among whom
are some of her leading literary
lights, like mountebank Chester
ton, for example. Shall we say
that there, too, German influence
is the cause of it, especially since
the war? Can we really blame
the Germans for idiotic Henry's
antics? While the manager or
keeper of the idiot has German
sounding name-Liebold, his edi-
toria1 barker is Cameron-not
German patronyrnic.
The present rising wave Of
Jew-hatred is due to the sinister
Vaccinations of set of reaction

THE OLD PEOPLES HOME.
When we consider that a city
like Omaha, Nebr., with Jew
ish population smaller even than
that of St. Paul, can establish and
maintain both Jewish hospital
and an Old Peoples Home, is it
not somewhat discreditable to the
Jews of the Twin Cities that the
Old Peoples Home of St. Paul,
an institution that really belongs
to both cities, should be allowed
to drag on it's wretched existence
without the proper effort being
made to replace it as soon as pos
sible with the larger and better
equipped structure, work on
which was begun some time ago
but was stopped for lack of
funds?
In total Jewish population Of
about thirty thousand, which is
that of the Twin Cities, an Old
Peoples Home is surely neces-
sary institution. Many an old
person is very unhappy in his
present surroundings, in spite of
all that flial duty and care, or the
sympathy of relatives and friends,
may be willing to do for him.
He is always conscious of the
fact that he is more or less of a
burden upon them. Very tragic
is the old PERSONS feeling of lone
someness among younger people
with whose interests he has little
in common. He is happy when in
the company of his own kind.
For such a one the Old Peoples
Home is real comfort and bless
ing. Need we add that in large
communities there are poor old
people who are really homeless?
There is, therefore, no more
worthy cause that just now ap-
pea1s to the 1iberality Of the Jews
of the Twin Cities than the Old
Peoples Home. The work on the
new structure should be resumed
as soon as possible. The cam
paign for the raising of the nee
essary funds should not be de-
layed much longer. In spite of
the somewhat disturbed business
