The supreme symbol of mar
tyrdom today, as for millenia
past, is still the Jew.
1t is important, therefore, that
the pathOs and courage of Jewish
life, the virtue and spiritual dig
nifty of Jewish character, as de-
lineated by brilliant nOn-JeWs, be
brought again and again to the
attention of the public at time
when the air responds with false
witness borne against neighbOrs.
1t is important that Jew and Gen
tile alike bear in mind that the
cause of the JeW-Which is the
cause of Humanity = has been
champiOned by the choicest hearts
and minds on earth.
They have two elements in COM
mon: gentle author and Jew
ish subject. Such names as Bocca-
clio, Carl Ewald, Anton Chekhov,
Anatole France, Strindberg, Car
giale, Eliza Oreszko, Stephen vi
cent Benet, Sinclair Lewis and
others represent the finest artists
of the literatures to which they
contributed. Each author differs
in his approach to the subject of
the Jew, and writes with a view
to the social problem of his own
day and surroundings. All of them
are free from vulgar prejudices
and place the discussion on a high
moral and intellectual plane. In
his stimulating preface to this
volume, Carl Van Doren points
this out in his remark, 1.-THE best
non-Jews have not been unjust or
inhumane toward Jews"
Two brilliant essays accompany
the collection, "a Note on Anti
Semitism" by the famous critic
and author, Carl Van DOren, and
the editors historical survey of
nOn-JewS' friendship for the Jew,
the first study of it's kind in any
literature.
This work should be of some
help and of great interest to the
general reading public, for, as DR..
Van Doren points out, while
Jews are the earliest and worst
sufferers from anti-Semitism, in
the long run non-Jews suffer from
it too"

states. Americanism today is a word of real
meaning to the man in the street and to the
child in school. 1t reflects the courage and
foresight and resourcefulness of the founding
fathers. It embodies the craftsmanship and
the genius of the men who worked for its de-
velopment during the last 100 years.
It means the sacrifice of the hundreds OF
thousands of young Americans who have gone
forth to battle under the Stars and Stripes
the men who have fought in Americas wars,
have proved their patiotism their loyalty
their Americanism.
Today the citizens of Wilmington and vicin.
ity, are asked to buy Buddy Poppies." The
veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, in whose
behalf the poppy distribution is conducted,
were splendid specimens of manhood at one
time. Back in 1917 and 1918 they were the
pick of the land. Now, more than 20 years
later. they are in middle age. Disabilities.
due to their war service, AVE undermined
their strength. Every cent of the proceeds
from the sale today above the cost of the pop
pies, will stay right here in Wilmington for
the benefit of disabled veterans and their de-
pendents of this area.

No Longer Frightening

Prime Minister Winston Churchilrs figures
on civil casualties resulting from German
bombing raids are sad reading. It is. heart
sickening to learn that this kind of warfare
has already taken $4,000 lives, including men,
women and children, and wounded no less
than $1,000 noncombatants.
At the same time the wonder is that there
are not more dead and more wounded tn show

ing population. The number of persons killed
is small compared with the As, 900, 900 inhab.
itants of the United Kingdom. Even when the
wounded are added the total is almost in.
significant.
Here may be found, perhaps, the key to the
amazing morale Of the British people. We
know that in armies, during active fighting.
casualty rates can and do mount far higher
than this without impairing the spirit of the
troops. In an embattled country, where every
individual now considers himself a soldier. a
loss of life on this scale can be borne with
fortitude.
These figures also provide some measure oil
the damage done by German bombers to Brit
aims economy. It is impossible to guess at the
extent Of the destruction wrought on factories,

Gasoline Consumption High

Weekly statistics on gasoline production and
inventories continue to reflect the high rate of
consumption. Normally late October and early
November should see the beginnings of the
trend toward larger stocks of motor fuel, con-
tinuing through the winter months until early
spring.
This year, however, there are several fac
tors tending to maintain consumption at high
