a philanthropist and all who
knew him loved and respected
him. One of his greatest char
liable hobbies was to loan money
to small merchants not charging
them any interest and this GER
tainly was a great help to them.
There are few days a week set
aside for the farmers to bring
their grain into town and sell it
to the merchants for cash. These
merchants'by buying grain from
the peasants were able to sell
this grain to bigger merchants,
earning a commission and there
by able to earn their livelihood.
On these days, also, Mendel Rut-
ker's home was open to the mer-
chants and they were able to bor-
row as much money as they re-
quired.
Mendel Rutker was a Chassid
and as was the custom he visit
ed the Rebbi every Roshashona,
besides this annual visit, he
made semi-annual trip to the
Rebbi in the course of the sum-
mer. During the Roshahsona
visit the Rebbi's home was al
ways crowded and there was lit
tie chance to converse with him
for any length of time, Mendel
Rutker rather than take sum-
mer vacation preferred to visit
the Rebbi for several days where
there could be few visitors in
order to speak with him on diff
ferent subjects.
Years went by. Nothing is
permanent in this world. 1t so
happened that Mendel Rutker
lost a large amount of money
in a business deal and was left
almost penniless. Not alone was
this his loss, but it was a loss
to all his community. Mendel,
although now poor, did not lose
courage and believed that the
time would come when God
would be good to him and things

The plan of President Harding
for the establishment of world
court is the burning question of
the day. 1t makes it necessary
for us to gain as much unbiased,
unprejudiced knowledge as pos
sible of the real conditions in
Europe.
An intelligent opinion can only
be formed thru a knowledge of
historical and political conditions
as they have been in the past.
And we must lay aside whatever
enmity we may have felt against
the German people during the
war. To do this, we must Wis
ualize and recall the real reason
for our entry into the world con-
flict which was neither the vio-
lation of Belgium's' neutrality
nor the sinking of the Lusitania
nor the atrocities charged to the
Germans.
We took up arms for an ideal.
We entered the war to end all
wars-to make an end of mill
tarism which had found its high
est and most perfect develop
ment in the German empire. We
were somewhat in the position OF
Hercules when he attacked the
hydra-headed monster every
time he cut off one head two

what happened in Europe. Where
formerly there were three mill
taristic states in existence there
now are a half dozen and these
have lost the balance wheel
which had been England for the
last century.
The balance of power policy OF
England and the service it rem
dered in holding Europe together

individual countries and were al

ism by those which followed an

ed the Germans after the victory
of 1871 and compelled her to be
satisfied with the annexation OF
Alsasce and Lorraine which orig
inally had been German terri
tory. The names of the prln-
cipal cities-Strassburg, Null
hausen and Metz surely signify
a German and not a French
origin. Now, it is claimed, this
annexation was the cause of per-
petual hatred between France
and Germany. Suppose that
France today should be permit
ted to annex, not alone these two
provinces, but all of Germany.
What would be the result?
If this would assure the peace
of the world, France should be
given this opportunity to lock up
the dogs of war. But the result
would be that the republic
of France would become so pow
erful it would be able to domi-
nate and dictate to all Europe.
And this would cause the oppos-
ing powers to ally themselves
with Russia. A new struggle
would arise with supremacy as
the stake.
What interest have we of the
United States and what are our
duties in attempting a solution
of this seemingly unsolvable
problem? We can preach the
doctrines of democracy which
would mean a United States of
Europe where all nations would
be required to make sacrifices
and CONCESSIONS victors and
vanquished 'alike-and which
would undoubtedly rebound to
the advantage of Germany which
would necessarily have to be
placed upon an equal footing
with all the other nations. This,
however, would not relieve her
of the penalty. of war indemnities
but would lay a sound foundation
for a peaceful future as it would
eradicate all National hatred.
This is the American ideal.

would shape themselves into
being as they had been.
When the time approached to
visit his Rebbi, he sold some val
liable pieces of furniture and
raised the necessary sum of
money to enable him to go to the
Rebbi as was his custom.
The Rebbi welcomed him, was
very glad to see him, and they
sat down to talk. The Rebbi i'm
mediately noticed that Mendel
was in some trouble. I do not
know how the Rebbi could tell,
whether through the Holy
Spirits (Ruach Hakodesh) or
simply could tell by the sad ex-

ker would ask him for aid but

The Rebbi asked Mendel as
special favor to him, would he
kindly stop off at Simon Wag-
meister's home and give him his
kindest greetings. Mendel did
as he was bid and stopped off at
the home of Simon Wagmeister
and extended the Rebbi's greet
ings. Simon Wagmeister was a
rich merchant and also a great
admirer of the Rebbi. He at
once understood the Rebbi's
meaning and detained Mendel
Rutker at his home for a while.
1t so happened at that time that
Simon Wagmeister had bought
a big forest near Mendeps home
and turned the deal over to Men
del. This kind act did much to
restore Mendel to his old stand
ard and thus he was again able
to continue with his good and
charitable work. ~

portunity to present this ideal to
all the people of Europe with
out diplomatic or political objec-
tions and interference. France
may claim that she won the war.
England may say her strength
was responsible or Italy may
claim the credit but the fact re-
mains that the world knows Ger
many would have triumphed but
fol-. the United States.
Having saved England and,
France and Italy from utter de-
feat, we certainly have right
to give them some good, sound,
common sense advice on how to
keep the peace that has been
gained. The very fact that any
of our suggestions are looked
upon with distrust by some of
our former allies is sufficient
proof that their intentions, to
say the least, are un-American
and do not meet the great re-
quirements of the day.
The proposed world court has
been compared with the supreme
court of the United States, How
much influence would our su-
preme court have and how much
respect would be accorded it if
it were swayed by political in
terests? A world court not
dominated by diplomats and ma
tionalists is unthinkable. And,
therefore, there is nothing left
but to have recourse to the the
ory of balance of power and an
alliance or understanding be-
tween the people of the United
States and the other English
speaking people of the world.
This seems to be the only solu-
ton of conditions as they exist
in Europe today. We are re-
luctant to speak of an alliance
with England but it will come
eventually, no matter how much
we may oppose it, for the reason
that the dividing lines of ma
tionalities today are not geo.
graphical but linguistic.
The ideals of two peoples who
speak the same tongue and there
fore have the same literature
must naturally become more
closely knit as modern education
progresses. The barrier between
the French and the Germans is
no more than their difference in
language. If all the Germans
could be made to forget German
and speak only French, there
would be an end to national
hatred between these countries.
If all the French could be made
to speak nothing but German,
France and Germany would not
be at outs. But as they do not
forget their own languages,
which are justified by their lit
erature, a solution can be found
only thru the adoption by all the
nations of the world of a uni
versal language.
Such a universal language nat
urally would be the English as
it is spoken today by more peo-
pie in the civilized world than is
any other tongue. This unifica-
tion of language would do more
to draw the people together than
all the world courts or leagues of
nations or anything else that has
been suggested.
This is demonstrated in the
United States of America. Ma
tionalities of all the world live
here in peace and happiness, ex-
changing their thoughts in one
language. Even the argument,
or the fear, that the Anglo
Saxon race would gain an ad-
vantage because all nations do
not speak English now is with
out foundation. For when all
are using the English language,
