The editor writes: long ago we received an article purporting to be a "Not copy of a prayer alleged to be repeated in Yiddish in Jewish synagogues, regularly, in which the Jews are alleged to beseech the Jehovah to confound the Gentile and overcome them in in- from terests of the Jews. It is a prayer breathing disloyalty the Yankee point of view, and to the casual reader it might have sounded genuine. But this paper had reasons for doubt- ing its authenticity, and we delayed printing it, determined that investigation should be made before giving it any credence whatever. The result is that we have found that the prayers issued by the Jews in their worship referring to this nation breathe the spirit of patriotism." It is • relief to find at least one paper, even if it be the radical Menace, refusing to lend itself to • lie concerning the Jew. It may be that just because the Menace is • radical paper that it seeks to be just. Here is true "Christian" spirit shown by five Jews. JacobGimbel dies and • large forune.

NEW YORK.—Entirely unexpect- ed, the first idea that really caught on at the first of the Palestine De- velopment Council conferences in New York City, Tuesday, Nov. 21, at the Hotel Martinque, was that the Palestine Development Council should organize 100 Jews with at least $10,- 000 spare capital each, who should either settle in Palestine or proceed there next summer and arrange to stay one year and put their capital into the country. The difference of opinion was as to the amount each should take with him.
