A SPLENDID EXAMPLE

In these days of strenuous indi-
1duallsm-should we say selfish
ness?-it is indeed refreshing and
gratifying to pause for moment to
give recognition to most wonderful
instance of real unalloyed Jewish
benevolence. We refer to the gift by
Mrs. Mary T. Goldman of the mag
nificent sum of Ten Thousand Dol
lars to the Jewish Home for the
Aged. Not only is the amount as
large, if not larger than, any sum
heretofore given locally for any
Jewish cause or institution, but the
spirit in which it was given-no re-
quest for publicity, no conditions of
any kind imposed-is most highly
commendable, to say the least.
Realizing the meritorious cause of
the Jewish Home for the Aged, the
dire need for immediate and SUBJ
stantial assistance, and above all,
urged by the dictates of Jewish
heart, Mrs. Goldman's response is:
not only a great financial aid to the
Home, but is also a timely and
splendid example that ought to spur
all of us on to follow the lead that
rightfully is hers, and do our part
now to bring about. the completion
of the building. 1t remained for a;
mother in Israel to point the way
with unbounded generosity, and to
her all homage is due. -
The heartfelt cry "Cast me not
off in mine old age, and when my
strength is gone, do thou not forsake.
me'-should appeal with: peculiar
pathos to every Jewish heart, even,
as it did to the kindly heart. of Mary
T. Goldman. Let others emulate her
noble example to the best of their
ability. Firestone.

RABBI MATHS ANNIVERSARY

A testimonial dinner was given
last night in the Gold Room of the
Radisson Hotel in honor of Rabbi C.
David Matt anent his tenth anniver-
sary as spiritual leader of Adath
Yeshurun congregation. Around the
festive board were seated a large
number of Rabbi Matt's own congre-
gants; also many members of other
congregations; and quite few of no.
congregational affiliations whatso-
ever. 1t was a splendid gathering,
representative of Minneapolis Jewry
at large.
1t was altogether fitting and
proper that it should be so, for our
good Rabbi belongs not to Adath
Yeshurun alone. but to the communi-
ty at large. While, of course, pri-
marily devoted to his own constitu-
ents, he has served with equal con-
secration the entire community. No
worthy cause, religious, educational,
civic or philanthropic, no matter
whence it originates, ever makes it's
appeal to him without finding him
ready and eager to put his solid
ability at it's service without stint
or reserve. The hearty tribute paid
him last night was therefore no more
than the celebrant fully deserved. In
honoring this true servant of God
and man, the community has done
the gracious thing to the rabbi, and
incidentally has thereby honored it
self.

important factor in bringing Jewish
nationalism to it's present status. To
accomplish this required courage of
no mean calibre. When he began his
work he was ridiculed. But he lived
to see his dream come true, and He
brew become an increasingly spoken
tongue. Even more, he had the pri-
vilege of witnessing the appreciation
of grateful people, for few years
ago his admirers in America raised
testimonial fund with which to build
him home in Palestine. That home
is now in process of completion, and
though he did not live to enter it he
had had the tangible proof that his
people knew and recognized his SER
vices to the Jew and his Hebrew
tongue. Only five of the ten volumes
of the monumental "Milon," on which
he had been at work forty years,
have been completed, but it is to be
hoped that Ben Yehudah left the un-
published material in a form that
will make possible the completed pub
lication. The Jews and Jewish cul-
ture have suffered an irreparable loss
in Ben Yehudah's passing. But the
Jews and Jewish culture are immeas-
urably richer for his having lived and
worked.

Editorial l.
ELIEZER BEN YEHUDAH

The death of Eliezer Ben Yehudah,
Father of Modern Hebrew Speech"
on Saturday last in Jerusalem, re-
moves from the stage of Jewish life
one of the most interesting figures
who helped make Zionism and whom
Zionism helped bring to the front of
Jewish life. Ben Yehudah was prob
ably the greatest Jewish lexicograph-
er, and his "Milon" or encyclopedia
Hebrew dictionary will long remain
q monumental work, covering Hebrew
from the Biblical era down to our
own day, the last period being repre-
sented by numerous words which Ben
Yehudah himself had coined. While
there may be differences of opinion
about the possibility or the success
of present-day Hebraists creating new
Hebrew words and phrases, there is
no question as to the need of new
words to express new ideas and con-
cepts. Travel, food, dress were, of
course, no less important in ancient
times than in ours. But since travel.
food, dress, to mention but few fac
tors in life, today take on new forms.
it is natural that they have new
names. And this is as true of He
90 VI oHy oIlcI spoken tongue.
Not all OF Ben Yehudah's coined
words are arbitrary, and surpris-
lngiy large number are formed quite
naturally in accordance with sensible
yet simple rules. Ben Yehudah's
work gave to the Hebrew language
fiexibility that made possible it's
growth and assures it's further devel-
opment.
One must admire also his zeal and
his mastery of Hebrew literature. For
the number of words, the varied de-
finitions and the passages quoted to
illustrate the usage of the words the
"Milon" compares favorably with any
of the great standard dictionaries.
But Ben Yehudah was more than a
writer Of dictionary. He helped
formulate Jewish life, and was an

Minneapolis lodge, I. O. B. B., has
rendered service to those who pur-
chased tickets for it's benefit perform
ance at the Shubert theater. "Wel-
come Stranger" is play we'll worth
seeing, and that it was well received
was manifested by the close interest
and the approval with which it was
followed by the audience. If, as has
been charged by some non-Jews,
welcome Stranger" is Jewish prop
aganda," we can only say that we
wish all propaganda" were no less
wholesome than this comedy by
Aaron Hoffman. Unlike the usual
propaganda" it harms no one, there
is no stirring up of prejudice, it leaves
no "taste in the mouth" And if it
is propaganda, it pays it's respects
to Jewish shortcomings no less than
to the narrow minded Yankee preju-
dice. The only ones who need have
any regrets about "Welcome
Stranger" are those who failed to see
the performance.

John Wanamaker, the pioneer mer-
chant prince of Philadelphia and New
York who died last week at the age
of eighty-four had some interesting
relationships with prominent Jews in
the East. AS close friend and ad-
mirer of DR.. Joseph Krauskopf,
founder of the National Farm school,
at Doylestown, Pa, he manifested
much interest in that institution.
Some interesting sidelights on his
friendship for the Farm school are
set forth in letters just made public
by DR.. Krauskopf.

HARD TO BE AN APOSTATE,s
HARDEN TELLS COURT. - 4,

Berlin (J. T. A)-Maximilian Har.
den, noted German author appeared
in court to testify against the two
prisoners Weichardt and Grenz who,
were charged with attempting to as
sassinate him. rT 7 :.<
Herr Harden faced his would-be as
sassins demanding their conviction.
He asked this in the course of pas
sionate speech, in which he said if the
accused were acquitted, the impress
sion will be created that there would
be premium for every Jew murdered
Passing to his own career, Harden
deplored that despite his being "a con-
firmed Christian" he suffered from
anti-Semitism. II was born a Jew"
Harden said, "but forty years ago I
became confirmed Christian This
were impossible if the present anti
Semitism had prevailed then. I have
never espoused any Jewish cause; on
the contrary I often passed as an anti
Semitic. But my name Isidore Wit
kowski, has been something have
not been able to live down."
Objection against the appearance Of
Harden at the trial of his would-be as
sassins were made by the attorneys
for the defense, which the court did
not sustain. The defense attempted
also to discredit the jury by caustic
references to some of the names,
which they said sounded Jewish.
The accused were found guilty,
Grenz being sentenced to 81 months
in prison and Weichardt to 33 months.
The mildness Of the sentences is gen.
orally denounced.

Any attempt to make the erstwhile
war sufferers self-supporting must
meet with the approval of every
friend of the Jews of Russia. The
present campaign by the Peoples Re
lief committee is to supply the Jew
ish artisans, farmers and mechanics
IN Russia with tools. Presumably the
campaign is under the auspices of
the Peoples Relief Committee be-
cause of all forces working for Re-
lief, they are the closest in touch
with the Jewish workers in Europe.
The quota for the Twin Cities does
not seem excessive-as only Twenty

trust that the responsiveness Of the

peals will not be found lacking in
the campaign that is scheduled for
the week Of January 1 to 8.

THE POLES-POLAND'S WORST
ENEMIES

The assassination of Gabriel Naru-
towicz, Poland's first elected presi-
dent, is unquestionably the severest
blow that the new Poland has sus-
tained since the war re-created it as
united land. The art student who
fired the fatal shot probably ex-
pressed the resentment of the "real
Poles," who repudiated Narutowicz
because he was the choice of the Ger
mans, Ruthenians, Jews and other
minority groups. That these minor
tiles together with the Poles who saw
in Narutowicz the best man to place
at the helm of Poland's affairs, con-
stituted an actual majority, did not
seem to trouble the Polish chauvin-
lists. That a candidate was elected
for whom the Jews had voted was
sufficient to make him, no less than
the Jews, the butt Of attack.
So Poland's first president has been
assassinated, proving that as long as
the Polish extremists are unchecked
a stable constitutional government in
Poland is scarcely possible, unless it
be OF the reactionary, anti-Semitic
and medieval type. We pity the Jews
in Poland at this time, and can
imagine the nightmare of terror
which they are living through. God
help them outlive the suspense, until
saner and wiser counsels prevail. But
God help Poland, unless it's friends
among the Allies can succeed in
pointing out to it that only the stern,
safe path of constitutional govern
ment can save it from it's enemies.
and from itself. 1t is not the first
time in history that misguided pa
triots have brought their country
to the depths of shame and to the
brink of disaster.

Katherine Macdonald
Starts New Picture

Tom Foreman, regarded as one Of
the ablest Of directors, will be in charge
of Katherine MacDonald's forthcoming
production, .aThe Woman Conquers,"
for Associated First. National release.
He will have Clyde Balsley for his as
sistant and Joseph Brotherton will be
the cameraman.
Mr.. Forman has, for a long time, ex-
pressed q desire to direct Katherine
Macdonald, and when President B. p.
Schulberg Of the Macdonald company
bought "The Woman Conquers" from
Violet Clark. his first move was to
engage the well known director.
'The Woman Conquers" will intro
duce Miss Macdonald az young So
ciety girl Of New York, who is satiat-
ed with her position and environment
and who goes to the northwest terri
tory, where, after a series Of thrilling
and very unusual experiences, she con-
quers her old self and finds that life
holds out new possibilities and hopes
1t is described as a decidedly worth
while story, full of strong drama and
quite unlike anything Miss Macdonald
has ever had.
The production of 'The Woman Con-
quers' will be commenced this week at

Star Of "BIind Husbands"
Won Stroheim is said to be very mod
est concerning his remarkable insight
into feminine fancies. Yet, it is known
to be true that he holds the same
fascination for women off the screen as
his character portrayals do in his pic
lures. Would-be Lotharios often be-
siege him for pointers IN heart
breaking" Won Stroheim's only advice
is that women appreciate the little
attentions of courtesy and forethought
which many men neglect. It is always
his concern to anticipate even the
slightest wishes of the women around
him. He has the air Of convincing
every woman he is her abject slave,
whose sole thought and object u the
execution Of her whims.

Austrian lieutenant, haunting the Tyrol

directing was subtle and expert in the

exhibition dancer. is responsible for the
staging Of some elaborate ballroom
sets in Norma Talmadge's an-costume
production Of. Honore De Ba1sacs
famous story la Duchesse DeLan-

learning that the story centered about
the court life of Louis XVIII, Maurice
unhesitatingly chose the graceful and
inimitAble French gavotte, and the
good old fashioned waltz as the me-
diums Of dance expression for the
court gallants and their exquisite
ladies' who frequented the salon Of
La Duchesse."
Nearly 800 costumes had to be made
for the ball room scene In the palace
