tures, the Yiddish literati have filtered a language that is
strong, vigorous and masculine. It differs as much from the
Yiddish heard in the Ghetto as the English of Addison, Conrad
and Poe from the so-called English heard at a prize fight. The
idiom an d lends itself to warmth and intimacy.

' We have known many men and women who spoke several
languages fluently, who would turn to the Yiddish to express
a robust, masculine thought. Indeed, as already suggested,
Yiddish writers have given a culture to the world that will live,
a culture that has transformed the Yiddish into a language,
and a language that will live by virtue of that culture.

First Hand Information.

Senators King and Ladd, who, with several Congressmen,
are unofficially touring Poland and Russia, spent several days
In Warsaw with the leaders of Jewish life in Pland. They inci-
dentally made a thorough investigation of the political, eco-
nomic and social status of the Jews. Instead of calling upon
the Polish officials, who would have made it a personally con-
ducted tour, they preferred to visit the headquarters of the
Jews themselves and obtain the facts direct. We may rest
assured that, inasmuch as the information was gathered at first
hand and from informed sources, that we here in America will
hear some truth about the conditions of the Jews in Poland,
not colored by censors and not biased by fear.

Is Yiddish a Lan gu
. age?

Our editorial in the last issue of the Chronicle on the "Yid-
dish Rennaisance" brought forth several objections from our
readers. One reader asks, "How can there be a Yiddish Hen-
nalsance inasmuch as Yiddish is not a language?" So in true
Jewish fashion, we shall answer this question with another
question, "Is English a Language?" The objector goes on to ,
say: "How can you Call Yiddish a language when it is a thing
of patches, a jargon, an admixture of German, Russian, English,' ,
Hebrew, and the language of the country in which the Jew re-
sides?" We answer that English is also an admixture of Latin,
Greek, French, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic. It is when that par-

No Man Knoweth His Sephulchre

When he who, from the scourge of wrong,
Aroused the Hebrew tribes to fly,
Saw the fair region promised long,
And bowed him on the hills to die:

God made his grave, to men unknown,
Where Moab's rocks a vale infold,
And laid the aged seer alone,
To slumber while the world grows old.

Thus still, when e'er the good and just
Close the dim eye on life and pain,
Heaven watches o'er their sleeping dust
Till the pure spirit cornea again.

Tho nameless, trampled and forgot,
His servant's humble ashes lie,
Yet God has marked and scaled the spot,
To call its inmate to the sky.

Need for Mass Immigration.
The advisability of a mass immigra-
tion movement of pioneers to Pales-
tine has been discouraged again and
again, on the ground that it would be
accompanied by disaster. Yet we can-
not help but believe that if, say 100,-
000 Jewish immigrants, fired by the
idealism of their people, were to land
in Palestine, they would do more to-

The Buick

Double-Service Sedan

Another 1924 Buick innovation—this six-cylinder
double-service sedan—has been especially created for
those who wish a combined practical business car and

able to withstand severe daily usage. The power pro-

is more than enough to carry it over the heaviest
roads. Its staunch Buick four-wheel brakes assure
ample safety whatever the driving conditions.

The admiration which you may feel for its service
utility will be matched by the pride which your family
will take in its comfort and suitability.
