CHILDREN. This couple would like to get a divorce, /
believe just about the children don't
to give them up and then you know how hard it is
children growing up without fathers love all that
There surely isn't much love lost between mother and father
and where there love how there be the right
happiness for the two young children?
So Matte to say right out loud what think
of such an arrangement. Te them in your words,
Pal" she begs "You do better than I can Tell
him he is no and she heroine together
for the chdrens sake making the children unhappy by
staying together They would be better far apart than
living the way they dc"
I'm not going to defend their way of living Matte I
don believe fathers and mothers going Mary and
Annie Tom Dick and Harry whether they divorced
not ANYONE with children to bring up has plenty to
do at home and has business gaddng under the bright
lights So I'm blue pencling your friends that score,
Pal But I'm also going to remarks bit 1t
seems to me that you have a somewhat limited idea of
marital duties yourself
1.Tbere ISM much love lost between the father and
mother and where there is love how can there be
respect?' you ask.
WHY CAN'T there be respect without love?
Why CAN'T there be loyalty each other and common
responsibility even if passion has burned itself outY
And why CAN'T two children be raised in peace and
love if the job has ceased to be thrilling adventure

shops and bazaars and we shall not
buy their goods. 1t is the duty Of
every faithful Moslem and it is the
will of God"
The Moslems and their party are
now carrying out this campaign.
Their political organ, Pravda, which
has only 1,2OO readers among 10000
electors has commenced the campaign,
which is very characteristic. The
Political organ of the Bosnian Jews,
called "Juedisches Legen,' has strong
" responded to this provocation. The
Jewish leader, DR.. Pollokan, writes
in his paper as follows "In an
emergency, we shall use all possible
lawful means. "But this is not all.
The Moslems have started to boy
colt the Jewish shops, of which there
are eighty in Serajevo and 100 in the
provinces. The Jews, on their part,
are ready to answer by COuntermeas-
ures, and their intention is to dismiss
all Moslems employed as workmen and
clerks in their businesses. The num-
ber of. those so employed goes into
thousands. They have in view also
another conference.-the. The Jews
have a considerable amount of money
invested in Moslem enterprises.
Public opinion in Serbia is greatly
grieved by such an attitude and it
appeals to the Jews that they, as
more educated and reasonable people
should not lose sight of the interest
of the State. The authorities have
had no reason to intervene, rs there
have been no breaches of the peace.
1t is very questionable whether such
intervention would be successful, when
it is remembered that the Jews have
right on their side and on the side
of the Moslems there is only religious
fanaticism.

MIR. NJ. EPSTEIN GIVES RE.
PORT OF MlZRACHI CON.
VENT1ON IN CLEVELAND.

A meeting Of the Mizrach society
was held at the Jewish Community
Center or Thursday evening. A re-
port of the last Mzrachi convention
in Cleveland was given by Mr.. Ep-
stein. He spoke Of the revival and
growth of this organization thruout
the United States and Europe: the
good accomplished in Palestine where
the Mizrachi established kos ier kitch-
ems for the religious working men,
provided many of the small colonies
with Shochtim, created free loan
and bank for the middle class and
workingmen. Under the auspices of
this organization 80 schools, among
them, two seminaries for teachers, one
high school, the Tachemoni in Tel
Aviv were established.
Mr.. Epstein is the representation
here to raise funds for new modern
building for three thousand pupis. DR..
Kauvar and Rabbi Rosenblum ad-
dressed the meeting. A number of
resolutions were passed to assist Mr..
Epstein in his work and to strength
en- the Mizrachi organization in the
city.
Mr.. Epstein is the representative
the Tackkemoni-Miz the great
high school in Tel-Aviv, Palestine, ad-
dressed large audience Saturday
afternoon at the Zera-Israel synagog.
He interested his audience with his
impressive remarks. Large collections
are looked for. With the assistance
of many prominent Denver citizens on
the committee and the earnest help
of Mr.. Epstein the coming appeal for
help should be readily answered.
The Denver Jewish news., 1925-06-11

The Bosnian Jews are of the opin-
ion that Jugoslavia must remain a
centralistic State. The Jews carry
ing on their business mainly with the
Serbs who diligently till their ground
and do a small trade, and who COM
pose the main element of the Bosnian
Consumers. The Moslems are ex-
tremely modes in their needs and are
satisfied with bread, fruit, some Ii
Guors, some brandy and coffee. They
require no banks, railways, or in
dustrial enterprises.
On the occasion of the last cleo
tion in Jugoslavia, they came into
conflict with the Bosnian Jews. The
Moslems appeared as autonomists,
while the Jews were centralists. By
reason of their well-balanced inter
est the Jews cast their votes for the
Radicals of NJ. Pasitch so that the
Moslems lost some of their Man
dates, one of which was in Serajevo.
Such an electoral result was a great
shock to the Moslems, so that they
at once became anti-Semite. With
fanatic religious hate, they turned
their weapons against the Jews, led by
their Chief Priest, Reiss-El- Uulema,
who proclaimed the principle that the
Jews were traitorous to Bosnian soli-
darity. Reiss-El-Ulema says: 81
shall always vote Moslem in Electoral
lists, without regard to whether the
candidate is a fool or a good man.
1t is written in the Koran that the
Israelites will never have an Empire,
but the Jews have about succeeded
founding a state by material means.
This State is Palestine, where all the
sacred things of our prophets are now
in danger of being destroyed. Shall
we then still give our money to the
Jews? No, we shall boycott their
