Campaign in His Papers

London q. C. B.)-The London
Times" and the "Daily MAIL" two of
Viscount Northc]iffe's most important
organs, have launched what is re-
garded as an Anti-Zionist campaign,
following Northcliffe's visit to Pales-
tine. Articles have appeared, de-
manding that an impartial committee
be sent to. Palestine to investigate
complaints about the disturbances in
the country, to establish what Pales-
tine costs the British taxpayer an
nually, to fix the amount advanced
the Palestine Government, and to
ascertain whether the "Jews are the
most undesirable type imported into
Palestine"
Credence is also given in these
statements to the report that British
Government officials have been COM
pletely eliminated, their places hav-
ing been taken by Jews.
In justification of it's new stand the
"Daily Mail" offers the alleged op-
position to Zionism by the Board Of
Jewish deputies and the Anglo-Jewish
Association.

Poetry Under a Jewish Name Does
Not Sound as Good

Bucharest q. T. A)-A character
istic story is told of the editor of
well known literary review. who re-
iected the verses of a Jewish youth
but waved enthusiastic over the same
verses under Roumanian name.
The Jewish youth in the story is
one Jacob Levi, a rather unprepos-
sessine individual, who mailed his
contribution to the editor, SIGNING his
real name. The verse was promptly
rejected as unavailable for publica-
ton. The youth, nothing daunted,
affixed a typically Roumanian name
and resrbmitted his poetry to the
same editor. who found them of such
excellent literary merit that he read
them aloud to his staff and invited
the poet to visit the editorial rooms.
Levi came, cleared up the question of
his identity, and the editor made his
profuse apologies.

Awakening Magyars Inciting to
POgrOms
POgrons

Budapesth q. C. B.)-Following
the adjournment of Parliament, the
awakening Magyar" party has COM
menced intensive preparations for the
approaching election campaign. It's
platform is outspokenly anti-Jewish,
the leaders openly melting against
the Jewish population.
Leading the anti-Jewish agitation
is the notorious White Guard leader,
Ivan Heijas, who is assisted by Pro-
nay. The campaign slogan is that
the Jewish question can only be
solved by the fist and that the Par
lament must be- cleansed Of Jewish
members.
The liberal press, which includes
the Nepszava and the more radical
Vi1ag, demand police protection for
the Jewish quarter, the latter limiting
that the police are acting in concert
with the Magyar leaders.

Bush Line Extended by Increase

Arrangements for the extension of
the Bush Line overland freight SER
vice from Harrington Laurel, Della
ware, were announced recently by the
company, the new service began Fri
day. The company now operates over
land service to North East, Md. Ex-
tension of the service is required by
the increase of business it was said.
Henry 7. Bush, president of the COM
pany, said the volume of business car
ried by the company has increased at
least 25 per cent during the year. This
is explained on the ground that num-
erous small industries in different Sec
tions of the State have been started or
enlarged, and that there probably has
been an important increase in the vol
ume of business in the larger indus
trial plants in and near Wilmington.

PRESS BULWARK OF

Observation-Disclosures of the edu-

Commissioner, United States Bureau
Of Education, as means of safeguard
ing the school system of the nation
In an interview with representative
Of the American Publishers Confer
ence here this week, DR.. Tigert de-
clared that his observations on a re-
cent trip throughout the country
showed the need for general public
awakening, which may be achieved
only through the instructive character
of newspapers and magazines. He
paid tribute to the press as one Of
the most useful instruments Of the
human race In the acquisition and dis

The Commissioner stated that the
enlightened press OF today Is q ne

publications are an Invaluable asset
to education in building up respect
and reverence for law and government.

OBSERVATIONS
OtneFS
TOplcA.

TO the Editor of the Sheaf:
We noticed an article in the Sheaf
Of May "a regarding the travelling of
Trunk Highway No. 33, between War
rem and Thief River Falls. This step
taken by the Commercial Club of War
rem is very commendable one and
due credit should be given the club
and its secretary for having taken
this matter up with the Highway Com
mission, but, there is another thing
about this very same road, that would
have added largely to the credit of
this club. How about getting the I'M
finished grading on this road COM
pleted? From a point, Is miles east
Of Warren, where the road turns
north, there is distance Of ~ miles
south, extending to the Pennington
county line. that rs still ungraded The
people have wished for many years
to see this graded up but so far
nothing has been done to comply with
their wishes. Besides, being an eye
sore to the people living along this un-
graded piece, it is certainly a disar-
pomtment to the travelling public, to
say the least, to be thrown all of a
sudden into deep ruts, sometimes filled
with water and mud We are fully
convinced that unless this piece is
graded up, the same as the rest of the
road, there can be no continuous good
road between Warren and Thief River
Falls.
Thanking Mr.. Nelson, Secretary of
the Warren Commercial Club, for
what he has done relative to grading,
and wishing him success in his en-
deavor, we hope that he will find an
opportunity to have this matter of
grading brought to the attention of
the Highway Commission.

A copy Of this will be sent to the
Highway Commission.
