Solid as a rock, the Klan is not disrupted or dismembered by internal fracaces leading up to the inter- necine warfare. The Klan Emperor challenges the Imperial Wizard to "come out into the open and give the public the facts" in connection with the murder committed by the pub- licity agent of the Klan in Atlanta last Monday. But shooting people to death seems to be an incident in the Klan's road to conquest. A murder here and there by one of his hench- men, leaves the Imperial Wizard un- disturbed. With blood on his pup- pets' hands, the Wizard still goes about preaching the doctrine of pure Americanism, excluding from the ranks of Americans un-Protestant Americans not indigenous to the woil where murderers flourish.

C. austiattektettattevevavarevavettavainvettevate veveo Business Men Appreciate the Remarkable Response to Jewish Chronicle Advertising Why should the Klan worry when La., Klansmen are fined $10 for taking the law into their own hands? Klansmen do not fear or respect the law and they have no regard for public opinion because they not only over ride it but intim- idate it. Organizations with large sections of their membership opposed to the Klan, dare not come out and disavow the Klan because the Klan minority is too powerful to be re- pudiated. Even the American Legion dared not name the Klan in its unc- tuous resolution denouncing indi- viduals or organizations fostering racial, religious or class strife. If men who faced hell in France will not encounter the enemy on the home ground, but will content themselves with finding the unnamed organiza- tion inconsistent with the "ideal and purposes of the American Legion," who will dare defy the Klan? > 2 down in Bastrop, g PAGE makes the same invidious distinction. This "descendant of the Semitic race" deplores that the Imperial Wizard Evans on his recent attack on the Jews, failed to distinguish between even grandparents were native-born." "does he mean to include them in the native-born Jews whose parents and same category as the alien who has just arrived from Europe or the Near-East?" this "Jew" asks. lie wants the Wizard to realize that "the obnoxious type (of Jew) is just as odious to the cultured class of the same race as one of that type is to the members of the Ku Klux Klan." This gentlemen is a little sorry there is still a "mosaic persuasion" but he assures Dr. Evans that "there are thousands of Jews who not only have adopted the ideals of the Christian way-shower as their standard for liv- ing from an ethical point of view, but also are fast taking the human footsteps of joining Christian chur- ches." Wizard Evans may draw what com- fort he likes from the Christian Mon- itor's correspondent's soothing syrup, but it is doubtful that he Win. Evans knows a Jew when he sees one, and so does the Boston Transcript. Jews are known not only for what they are but also for what they are not. And it is known everywhere that Jews are not united. They are not united even on as simple and clear an American issue as withholding the freedom and the honors of an American city from a soldier who is at least suspected of being a pogromist. And knowing this, the Transcript can write what it wishes because when and if re- proached by an indignant Jew it can come back with the usual, "you are not that kind of a Jew; you belong to the class I do not have in mind. The Transcript is safe and the Klan grows because we have no "American Jew" who, Dr. Morgenstern prayer- fully hopes Neil lbe evolved in Amer- ica, but American Jewries are hardly on speaking terms with one another. STRAUS CONTINUES IN PALESTINE MILK WORK HE BEGAN IN THE U. S. Nathan Straus is continultur in Pal- estine work with which his name has long been connected, not only in the United States, but abroad, in Eu- ropean countries as well. l'ure milk for babies and their modern scientific care has been the cause to which, for the better part of his active life, Mr. and Mrs. Straus consecrated them- selves and their means in magnificent measure. Certain aspects of his large-scale undertaking in New York and dozens of other cities in America and Europe have had a determining influence upon infant care in general. It is not the first time that Mr. Straus has aided the development of the infant welfare department of the Hadassah :Medical Organization work in Palestine. Eight months ago, when he made his outstanding gift of $50,- 000 to the Hadassah Medical Organiz- ation, through Hadassah, the women's Zionist organization, anti thus en- abled the executive sommittee in l'al- estine to tide the medical undertak- ing, over its worst period of fundless- ness, he stipulated that of the sum $1,000 be used for work in the Arab community. The infant welfare de- partment of the Iladassah Medical Organization has, from the first day of its establishment, in July, 1921, aimed to meet the needs of the Arab mothers of the Jerusalem community. With this end in view, it has endeav- ored to detail for duty in its infant welfare stations preferably the pupil- nurses who speak Arabic. In this re- spect, the traditions of the Hadassals Medical Organization were followed. It aims to give its service to the whole population of l'alestine with- out discrimination. But the sum of $1,000 set apart by Mr. Straus en- abled the fladassah Medical Organiz- ation to designate a special day for Arab mothers in the infant welfare station in the Old City and to employ a special nurse. A second gift re- ceived from Mr. Straus enabled the Iladassah Medical Organization to employ a nurse for infant welfare work in Haifa for a period of seven months, in co-operation with • local women's organization, the Ilistadrut Nashim Ibriot. Once the work was established through his aid, the charge was taken over by a French society, acting in affiliation with the Women's International Zionist Or- ganization. The Hadassah Medical Organisation continues to give medi- cal and bacteriological supervision to the Haifa enterprise under the new arrangement. Thus, within a period of eight months, Mr. Straus has put the sum of $30,000 at the disposal of the lia- dassah Medical Organization in fur- therance of medical undertakings In Palestine. An example to be emu- lated by others in every department of Palestine work. 1■=1■11.

For a period of thirty years the consumers of gas in the City of Detroit have been supplied un- der an agreement fixing the rates of charge. This period has now expired and the rates under which we have been furnishing gas are entirely inadequate. In fact, the earnings of the Com- pany are now insufficient to pay operating ex- penses, taxes and interest on its indebtedness. Nevertheless it has been necessary, in conse- quence of the City's rapid growth, to expend many millions of dollars in enlarging its prop- erty. Within the next few years further extensions and betterments will be needed, for which a large amount of additional capital will be re- quired. Money for these additional outlays can- not be obtained nor adequate service provided 'unless the Company can show a reasonable re- turn . This cannot be done under the rates here- tofore prevailing. We have, therefore, prepared a new scale of rates to go into effect covering gas furnished on and after November 16th. Two things are to be noted in connection with this new scale:—(1) It does not represent a large increase, and is in line, only, with the in- creased cost of labor and materials; (2) It is lower than the rates in force in any other city in the United States where natural gas is supplied or some other dissimiliar conditions exist. Whenever the City has completed its inves- tigation or is ready to discuss the subject of rates, the Company will be ready to take the matter up with the City. Should the new scale of rates produce a greater return than the City and the Company shall then agree to be reasonable under the pres- ent conditions, the Company will make adjust- ment by proper refund. This Company has no desire to furnish gas at rates that are higher than are reasonable. On various occasions in the past it has voluntarily re- duced its rates. Our desire is to continue to supply good gas and good service and to do so at reason-. able rates. DETROIT CITY GAS COMPANY Charles W. Bennett, Vice-President and General Manager.
