JEWISH RELIEF
NOW IN ORIENT
Link Alsq in Siberia Makes
Chain of Relief Now
Complete
New York, Aug. 1. —Relief work
for Jewish war sufferers is now or
ganized throughout the Orient and
the vast stretches of Siberia, ac
cording to a statement made public
here to-day by Henry H. Kosenfelt,
national director of the American
Jewish relief committee.
These two new links make the
Jewish relief work chain complete,
so that it now extends to every com
munity in the world where Jewish
war sufferers are to be found. The
American Jewish Relief Committee,
the chairman of whose executive
committee is Louis Marshall, of this
city, together with its co-operating
organizations, is at present spend
ing two million dollars a month for
relief work. It will seek a total of
$35,000,000 in state-by-state cam
paigns this fall in order to continue
its worldwide activities through
1919. American Jewish relief agents
are now feeding more than 6,000,-
000 destitute people, both Jews and
Christians, in Poland, Rumania,
Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Lithu
ania, Palestine, Turlcey, Serbia,
Greece, Siberia and the Orient.
Four new bureaus have just been
established in Yokohoma, Harbin,
\ ladivostok and Irkutsk respectively.
From these centers field agents go
out to investigate and supervise re
in evel 'y community. A part
of their work is to remove refugees
from the firing line to safe points
eastward. A large part of the aid
needed is for refugees who lost
their homes at the beginning of the
war and have been homeless ever
sine. More than 10,000 war prison
ers are also in need. Several hun
dred stranded immigrants, tied up
in Japan on their way to the United
Mates and other countries and un
able to go either forward or back
arc also being regularly assisted.
An Interesting Study
of the Skies
BY GARRETT P. SERVISS
On a cool evening after a panting
hot summer day what sight is more
refreshing than that of the full
moon tranquilly shedding its silvery
rays down upon the reposing earth,
while the lambent stars glow softly
through the transparent curtains of
the night.' It is no wonder that in
the poetry of all nations the moon
is figured as a goddess, or that in
the folk-lore of every people she
is the subject of the most romantic
legends andof superstitions that lose
their mischief—if any they have
in their beauty.
"Who is she that looketh forth,
fair as the moon?" sings Solomon
in his love-song.
"I beheld the moon walking in
brightness," admiringly recounts
Job, the poet-philosopher of the
desert.
"And while I gaze thy mild and
placid light
Sheds a soft calm upon my trou
bled breast"
(So writes a modern poetess),
"And oft I think, fair planet of the
night,
That in thy orb the wretched
may have rest;
The sufferers of the earth perhaps
may go,
Released by death, to thy benig
nant sphere,
And the sad children of despair
and woe
Forget in thee their cup of sor
row here."
The astronomer knows that all
this beauty of the moon, awaken
ing so many charming thoughts
and longings, is due to the enchant
ment of distance. The moon is the
only world in the sky whose fea
tures can be seen with the naked
eye, and thus seen they show no
ruggedness and give no hint of the
terrible spectacles of planetary dis
aster and death which stare at the
beholder in telescopic views.
Seen by the unaided eye out of
the shadow of the earth,, gilded by
sunlight in the far depths of space,
the bare lunar skull is rounded into
the semblance of a face modulated
with delicately graduated shades
and graceful in its outlines. An
opera glass view but heightens the
resplendence of the impression
made by the full moon upon the
naked eye. The sight recalls an
ancient cameo cut by some great
artist out of a precious stone. But
exchange the opera glass for a tele
scope and all is at once different.
The spectacle still possesses its
elements of beauty, but now they
are submerged in the impression of
death-dealing violence that over
whelms the mind as once it over
whelmed that litle world. The fas
cination of the scene is akin to that
which one feels in looking from an
icy peak over the snow-choked and
life-abandoned landscapes of the in
ner and higher Alps.
Now, curiously enough, the same
telescopic magnifying power which
reveals the true aspect of the moon
and banishes its seeming lifelike
charm, is just that which brings
the planet Mars virtually near
enough to the observer to give it
the appearance of a most idyllic
world, appealing at once to the
imagination and the desire for
scientific investigation. It is not
improbable that if telescopes could
be constructed capable of magnify
ing Mars 22,500 diameters, which
would bring it, when nearest the
earth, to the same apparent dis
tance that a power of 150 diameters
brings the moon, we should at once
be able to settle all the puzzling
and captivating questions that have
arisen concerning the habitability of
that planet, and the wonderful do
ings of its inhabitants, because then
we might see plainly, and decide be
yond controversy, what the real
state of Mars is.
To return to moon superstitions
—which may not all he absolutely
without foundation—l have a letter
from Gary. Ind., dwelling upon the
question of the influence of moon
light falling upon the face of a
6leeper. This, like the popular saws
concerning the influence of the
moon on plants, etc., is an exceed
ingly ancient superstition, found in
all parts of the world. Indeed, the
word J'lunacy" describing a particu
lar kind of insanity, is derived from
the old Roman name for the moon,
Luna.
The antiquity of this notion is
sufficiently attested by a paa.sage in
the CXXIst Psalm, which reads:
"The sun shall not smite thee by
day nor the moon by night." We
accept this evidence of an early
recognition of the danger of sun
strike, but the progress of science
has not yet produced a conviction
that the moon, too, can "smite,"
whatever the experience of individ
uals may have Induced them to be
i lieve
WOULD PREPARE
DAY OF REVENGE
German Paper in Mexicoo
Urges Propaganda of
Hatred
Mexico City, Aug. I.—A "Cate
chism of Hate" was printed in the
Deutsche Zeitung von Mexiko and
revenge was threatened in an article
accompanying it on the day when
the delegates of the German repub
lic signed the Peace Treaty at Ver
sailles. The paper, printed in Ger
man, is generally believed to voice
the opinions of the Pan-German, ir
reconcilable element of the German
colony in Mexico. Translations in
part of the article follow:
"The day of revenge of the Ger
man people is not far off. We shall
do good to practice patience until
the day of revenge has arrived. Re
venge must be coldly consumated.
In order to prepare ourselves quietly
for it, we need a 'Catechism of
Hatred.' "
The "twelve commandments" of
the catechism summarize in brief
form many of the protests which
have been heard from German
sources since the terms of the Peace
Treaty became known. They deny
that Germany wanted war, assert
that Germany was right in invading
Belgium, attack England for the
blockade of Germany, aver that
Germany's armies were never de
feated and declare that German
honor is insulted by making Ger
mans sign admission of their guilt.
In conclusion, the article says:
"These twelve commandments will
suffice to prepare us mentally for
'The Day' on which the hour of re
venge will strike."
Asked if the sentiments express
ed in the Deutsche Zeitung's article
were those of the entire German
colony in Mexico, one of the lead
ers of the German socialist party in
Mexico declared that they were held
only by the older and wealthier
colonists, who deminated both the
paper and the colony, but that a
large part of the colony were will
ing to accept the verdict of the war
and give their support to the new
German government and to recon
struction policies.
ARCHIVES LOOTED
EOR WRAPPING
Russia is providing another ex
ample of that destruction and dis
persal of ancient and priceless his
torical archives which one might
have thought belonged entirely to
the past and its dark ways. The
treasurers of Petrograd and Moscow
have been scattered to the four
winds, chiefly through the activities
of Marlcoff, Trotzlty's assistant, at
the tjme of the publication of the
secret treaties.
The authentic letters of Catherine
the Great have disappeared complete
ly from the former ministry of the
interior in Petrograd. Some of the
documents were traced to a shop
keeper in Moscow, who had been
making use of them to wrap up his
parcels.—Christian Science Monitor.
THE LIMIT
In a crowded street car a stout
woman vainly endeavored to get her
fare out of the pocket of her cloak,
which was tightly buttoned as a
precaution against pickpockets.
After she had been working in
vain for some minutes a gentleman
seated on her right said: "Please
allow me to pay your fare."
The lady declined with some
acerbity, and recommenced her at
tacks on the pocket.
After these had continued for
some little time her fellow passenger
said:
"You really must let me pay your
fare. You have already undone my
suspenders three times, and I can
not stand it any longer."—Dallas
News.

A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs

callous right off, root and all, with
out one bit of pain or soreness.
Truly! No humbug!
