Soviets and Zionists.

The most recent German book of
first rate Importance is different
from these others only in method
and appearance. The ultimate spirit
of it is the same. A year ago the
Well known writer and publicist Ar
thur Holitscher went to Moscow
and brought back his report of the
Soviets, which was the profoundest
and most instructive yet written.
And it was so because Holitscher, too.
is a seeker after salvation. He went
to Russia to discover whether the
experiment in revolution there had
any relation to the possible saving
OF mankind. I shall not dwell here
on the nature of his report. The in
terest it had was in its purpose and
viewpoint. This year Holitscher
went to the Holy Land. and the vol
ume just issued is called "A Trip
Through Jewish Palestine" 1t sticks
TO facts and figures closely enough
But it is also poetic Interpretation
OF the Zionist movement. 1t goes to
the sources of 1t not only in the hearts
of Jewry, but in the nature OF the
debacle that has oyertaken Euro
pean civilization. II tells the tales
of the wanderers who go from the
schools and universities OF Eastern

of Palestine in order TO save their
souls. 1t tells. too. how many of
these young men and women are un-
believers and have no theological
attachment toward either the land or
the faith OF their ancestors. but how
their work and their wandering. too.
is the work and the wandering of
pilgrims who desire to create a new
divine life out OF their efforts and
their thoughts.

The World of Foreign Books

, cruelty of the Swedish winter is very
powerful. But the story itself has
some of the harshness and bloodiness
that we find among the minor con-
temporariss of Shakespeare.
His ether two quite recent plays.
'Indipoadi'' and ''The White SAVIOR
are far more agreeable and satisfy
ing. But Hauptmann's greatest
quality has always been in the genu-
ineness OF his treatment of life. And
in these new plays there is a quality
OF remoteness that makes them seem
almost fantastic. In both, to be sure,
Hauptmann is trying to say some
thing of very immediate Importance
to the modern world. butt his message
is obscured by his medium. In ''The
White Savior" for instance, he deals
with the conquest of Mexico. In
the annals and traditions of the Mex
lean religion there is a story that
white messengers from the gods viii
come in time to save mankind. Mon
tezuma has perfect faith in the COM
ing of these Write saviors. SO when
his ministers and generals tell him
that white men have landed, Staying
and plundering. he viii not believe
them, he urges non-resistance, he
believes that the forerunners of the
white savior have come. Mean
while the priests with the Spanish
forces urge Cortez and his men in
the name of their white savior not
to spare the heathen, whose country
must be brought under the banners
of Spain and Christ. Thus the be-
levers in one Savior betray and kill
and enslave the believers in another.
and they who follow the teachings
that alone can save the soul are
visited, for that very reason, with
destruction and death. Both the
power and truth and the pessimism
of that action are obvious. The trou-
bic is that Hauptmann wrote the
play in verse, and not in blank verse.
but in the unrhymed trochaics IA
miliar TO us from "Hiawatha." And
both triviality and padding seem in
separable from that form of verse.
Hauptmann's latest publication is
tribute to the classic tradition such
as every German. and for that mat
ter every Scandinavian. poet seems
TO think it his duty to pay sooner or
later. II is a pastoral narrative and
descriptive poem called Anna. ;"
Like Goethe's Herman and Doro-
thea and Longfellow's "Evange-
line, which is product of the same
tradition and custom, Anna" is
written in hexameters. 1t contains
some agreeable vignettes of the ST.
lesian rural life which Hauptmann
knows so well. But one cannot
help wishing that here. too, he had
clung to the form of which he is the
undisputed master and had rather
given us another ''Drayman Hen
schei.' or another ''Weavers.

Germany Seeking New Concepts.

In Germany. both before and since
the war. the breakdown of dogmatic
and traditional religion has been more
complete than probably anywhere
else This process was accomplished,
however. without the decrease or
even the thinning out of the spe-
officially religious emotions. 1t
seemed necessary to the Germans,
then. 10 find new concepts and spir-
itusd realities to which these emo
tiols could cling. That is why we
witness in Germany the intensive
cult OF its great thinkers and poets
Of Novalis. Hebbel. Nietzsche, Goethe.
But even these cults did not suffice
New voices were needed 10 interpret
on a neo-religious basis the expert
ences Of mankind amid the tragic in
tricacies Of the Immediate present.
On such voice is that OF Eduard
Keyserling, OF whose Travel Diary
Of a Philosopher" a good deal has
already been said and written in
America; another voice is the voice
OF Leopold Ziegler. whose latest book,

Chiefs Charged
with Failure
U. S. GRAIN GROWERS LEADERS
CHARGED WITH INEF-
REGENCY.

James K. Mason of Chicago, trea.
surer of the United States Grair
Growers association, and William
G. Eckhardt of Chicago, former trea.
surer, had been summoned to appear
today before subcommittee of the
Senate agriculture committee in con:
nection with charges that the associa.
ton was not properly directing its eff
forts in behalf of it's 10000 farmer
members
The witnesses were called to reply
to charges that although the ,organ-
ization had collected as initiation dues
and fees 100000, in addition to $780,
900 borrowed, it had marketed no
grain for it's members, notwithstand-
ing its requirements that its members
by contract shall place their entire
crop within it's control for five years.
Announcement of the charges was
made Friday at the conclusion of its
investigation of the records of the Ma
tional Grain Dealers association,
under a resolution introduced by for
mer Senator Kenyon of Iowa, alleging
that the association had raised large
fund for. the purpose of combating
certain agricultural legislation.

A Flaw in
Our Civilization

Wheeling Intelligencer: From Fair
mont comes dispatch relating that
when John Allison was given a thirty
day sentence for violation of the pro-
hibition law, his wife dashed from the
court room with her baby in her arms,
leaving her other seven children in the
room and telling the judge to take
care of them. The children were
turned over 20 the Salvation Army.
This incident has unusual features,
but its fundamental part-the cutting
off of the support of a family when
the husband and father is sent to
prisons not I'm usual On the 9TH
er hand, it is extremely common, and
forms one of the saddest aspects of
our civilization.
What are women with dependent
families to do when the husband is
sent to prison? Sometimes they are
able to work and make some sort of
a living. In many cases they cannot
make even enough to keep their chill
dren and themselves from distressing
want.
In other words, the families of pri-
soners usually become a burden on
the community.
Would it not be far better to have
system by which the husband could
continue to work and support his fam
lily while in prison? In every prison
there is system of working the men
confined. Usually, they must do so
much each day for the state and are

value to the commonwealth.


It would seem that those men who
proposed a more southern boundary
would have had experience enough to
have rejected in their own minds any
such proposal. They were experienc-
ing the same ignorance of possibilities
throughout the entire United States
at that time. New York did not know
the value Of Ohio, Ohio of Wisconsin
own self. These doubts were fast be-
ing dispelled. Yet there were men
of Minnesota and Minnesota of her
among the delegates at St. Paul in
1857 who had no sense of the values
of one-half of their proposed state.
The same thing exists today to a
certain extent. Some day the bill
lions of tons of iron ore materials
now considered worthless will be Of
commercial value. Some day the peat
which men see no use for will be the
basis of the development of immense
heat and power. In fact, four out of
five citizens Of southern Minnesota
today would see no agricultural pos
sibilities in much Of the land which
will some day produce as much as any
areas Of any state in the union.

$40, 000, 900 at the time of his death
Field, though not then known as a
philanthropist, gave, in 1890, the or
iginal 10-acre site for the university
between Jackson and Washington
parks, now expanded to a full hundred
acres in this magnificent location; and
he followed it with generous cash
gifts.
Mr.. Goodspeed incidentally tells
how just after the Worlds Fair of
1898, the merchant was induced to be-
gin his contributions for the Field
Museum of Natural History, which
ultimately aggregated more than
$lU,UO0,0U0.
During the fair it was suggested
that the invaluable museum material
gathered in Chicago be permanently
preserved and number of men began
collecting a fund. Field showed no
interest in the project. He rebuffed
every solicitor. Some large donations
were obtained, but it was soon clear
that without his help nothing could
be DONE For the hundredth time the
chief solicitor approached him. Field
finally consented to take look at the
collections and day or two later sent
in his subscription for million.
William B. Ogden, the city's first
mayor, who gave large sums for the
Ogden Graduate School Of Science,
was another eastern boy who grew up
with Chicago.
Charles j. Hill, whose gifts to the
university are commemorated by the
Hull Laboratories, made fortune IN
real estate, but he was chiefly known
for his work among the poor. On
first arriving in Chicago, one Sunday
in 1876, without money or work he
found his way to the log Jail in the
courthouse square, to preach to the
prisoners. The authorities refused
him admission, but he gave the in
mates an exhortation through hole
in the door. His handsome home on
Halsted street became part of Hull
house.
Most of the names of these makers
of Chicago and Chicago university
Noyes, Bond, Colver, Hitchcock, Swift,
Kent-are good Yankee names, but
one is that of a Scotchman, John
Crerar. He made his fortune in rail
way supplies, and he was indefatiga-
BILE in philanthropy. So high was his
reputation for integrity and judgment
that just after the Chicago fire OF
1871 the New York Chamber of Com
merce and other large donors sent
their gifts direct to him for distribu-
ton. Crerar's name is commemorate
ed chiefly in his will; one of 100000
for statue Of Lincoln, which gave
Chicago the unsurpassed Saint-Gau-
dens statue, recently reproduced in
London, and the other several million
dollars for the John Crerar library,
which now has 100000 books and pam
phlets.

The Popular Delusion

Life: Intellectuals are, by choice

They hate to share anything with

as "hacks."

Always With Us

Grand Rapids Herald Review: When
the question of statehood was discus
sed in Minnesota, surprising ignor-
ance Of the possibilities Of the state
were displayed by many delegates to
the constitutional convention. For
instance, there was a considerable
group who desired that the state line
be put at the forty sixth parallel.
This would have meant that the north
boundary of the state of Minnesota
would have been on a line passing
through Little Falls, Long Prairie and
argued that it would give a square
west. The advocates of this boundary
and compact area of land and that it
would exclude vast forest which
would never be permanently settled
and would simply be roamed over by
trappers, miners, hunters and lumber
men from whom no taxes could be ex-
acted. This move, however, to make
the forty-sixth parallel the northern
boundary was rejected.
If the state Of Minnesota had so
bounded itself on the NORTH it would
have lost to itself and left to some
