Better Not Vow, Than Not Pay

The Michigan Constructive Relief Conference, to
convene in Detroit on January 29, has for its object one
particular purpose,—that of stimulating the collection
of all outstanding pledges made to the United Jewish
Campaign. The delegates will be confronted by the
warning from Ecclesiastes: "Better is it that thou
shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest not pay."
This conference can be a power for great good by dis-
couraging once and for all the practice of making
pledges and then permitting the cause to be starved for
want of the funds banked upon.
Samuel Johnson, in "The Patriot," issued interest-
ing warning against the making of false promises: "He
that raises false hopes to serve a present purpose, only
makes a way for disappointment and discontent." We
take it for granted that the pledges to the United Jew-
ish Campaign were made in good faith, but even the
slightest delay in their payment may serve to make "a
way for disappointment." Those who have read the
report of Mr. Morris D. Waldman on conditions in Po-
land, must surely have been moved to a feeling of serv-
ice for Polish Jewry. The outstanding pledges are the
only means now available for the relief of a trying sit-
uation.
Mr. Waldman's concluding words to his report on
Polish conditions are: "I am convinced, from every
point of view, that the work of American Jewish Re-
lief is not yet completely done." Whatever efforts are
yet to be made in future relief work are to be based on
the funds pledged by the Jewish communities of this
country. Unless the pledges are lived up to, therefore,
the work in Poland, and the colonization scheme in Rus-
sia, may fail.
It is better not to make any vows at all than that
the pledges should not be honored, but the promises
that have been made thus far must be honored. Be-
cause the forthcoming conference of state leaders has
it for its purpose to impress pledgors with this obliga-
tion, it occupies an important place on the Jewish cal-
endar.

Leopold Hilsner, Martyr of a Blood Libel.

The death on January 11 at the Rothschild Hospital
in Vienna, of Leopold Mistier, ends another chapter in
the story of blood libels charged against Jews. Charged
with the murder of Agnes Chruza in the woods of Pol,
na, in Bohemia, on April 1, 1899, Hillsner was convict-
ed to die. The accusation against him was that he com-
mitted the crime for ritual purposes to supply the Jews
of his community with the blood of a Christian for use
ill the Passover Matzos. A committee was formed tin-
der the chairmanship of Thomas Masaryk, now presi-
dent of (''echo Slovakia, then a professor at Prague
University, to defend the young Jewish martyr, but all
they could win for him was a change from the death
sentence to that of life imprisonment.
In 1918, after almost 19 years of prison confinement,
Mistier was "pardoned," and attempts to secure a new
trial to clear his name failed. This chapter in ritual
murder lies against the Jewish people is now closed by
Hilsner's death.
The Wisner tragedy was enacted in the twentieth
century, not in the Middle Ages. This cake, and that of
Mendel Beiliss, caused many among us to entertain the
false hope that the eyes of bigots will be opened to the
stupidity of their libels. And yet, from Russia, the cen-
ter of Socialist and so-called liberal life, now comes the
reports that blood lies are again being manufactured
and are yet believed in. A blood lie was also perpe-
trated last week at Shidlowa, Lithuania. Evidently, the
civilized world has yet to go back to first principles to
learn tolerance. Christian bigots have yet to learn the
mean ing of the Ten Commandments.

Another Hebrew Class Graduates.

Even in the present youthful life of the United He-
brew Schools of Detroit, graduations are no longer a
novelty. Although the group that is to graduate on
Feb. 8 will form only the sixth graduating class, a cer-

•

tain tradition has been established with these gradua-
tions which eclipses in honor the graduation ceremon-
ies.
It is simply this: practically every one of the grad-
uates remains a student of the Hebrew schools. Every
boy and girl who has graduated, or is about to gradu-
ate, either continues studies in the Hebrew High School,
or enrolls in at least one Hebrew class to remain a part
of the Hebrew educational system of the city.
For encouraging such interest in the schools and in
Hebrew study, Bernard Isaacs, the superintendent, and
his staff of teachers, deserve our congratulations.

Dr. Bade Relates Thrills of American Archaeologist Dig-

ging Into Palestine's Soil to Reconstruct Ancient
Past of Jewish History.

By CLARENCE EBEY

In the January issue of the Menorah Journal, Ilerbert
Sills has written an article on "From Versailles to Zu-
rich;' which should he read by every Jew in this country.
Even if he has to sacrifice an evening of pleasure, he must
get a copy of this arti•le and read it. He owes it to him-
self to gut acquainted with what's going on in Europe,
and I have not read such an illuminating contribution to
the subject of Minority Rights in many years.
Whether Mr. Solow is wholly right in the positian he
has taken I to not know, but I its know that he has pre-
sented certain facts in a most interesting way and facts
that all of us should know. \Ye are a pretty lazy group,
generally speaking, and we leave the running of the Jew-
ish world to a handful of men, and our ideas of the Jew-
ish world affairs are of the haziest and vaguest nature.
Most of us don't know any more of the Jewish problems
in Europe than the average American knows of the bills
that are introduced into Congress. And when a man like
Solow comes along and gives us information in easily- di-
gested form we should show our appreciation by reading
what he has to say.

And you tire the last who my songs understand.
Who knows, but I am the lust sharer of Zion,

Pondering over the question "For Whom Do I
Labor?" Abramovich ignored the ridicule of the
Maskilim in the Haskalah period of his time and turned
to the Yiddish vernacular for the portrayal of the life
of the masses. lie assumed the pen-name of Mendele
Mocher Seforim (Mendele the Bookseller), by which
he became known to Jewry. lie took for the theme of
his writing his immediate community, "the shtedtel."
The village synagogue, the town crier, the community
rabbi, "der shtodt meshuggener," "die klorobke," the
bathhouse, the village storekeeper—these were the
themes and spheres in which the "Grandfather" of mod-
ern Hebrew and Yiddish literature moved. His "Fishke
der (:rummer," "Die Taxe," "Dos Kleine Menshele,"
"Die Kliache," were masterful sketches of the Jewish
life and problems in the Russian Ghetto.
The skill with which "Der Zeide" mastered both
the vernacular Yiddish and classical Hebrew had a tre-
mendous influence on the rise of his literary "sons" and
"grandsons"—in the genius of Judah Leib Perez, Shol-
om Aleichem, Simon Frug and Chaim Nachman Bialik.

Emil Ludwig Subscribes to Zionist Program.

Emil Ludwig, the noted German-Jewish author and
biographer of Napoleon, in an interview with a repre-
sentative of the Jewish press. upon his arrival in this
country last week. ridiculed the rumors and charges
that he denied his Jewishness. The name of "Ludwig,"
he explained, was given him on his birth by his father.
Professor Hermann Cohn, one of the best noted oculists
in Germany. It was done with the idea of freeing the
Cohn children from the difficulties that were attached
in Germany to Jewish affiliations. "But I never denied
my Jewishness, and consider myself even now a good
Jew," the noted author added. Ludwig explained that
he was devoted to the Zionist cause, that he had writ-
ten in support of the Jewish Homeland movement, and
that he was impressed with Palestine on his visit there
two years ago. If Jews who have attained such stations
in life as has Emil Ludwig were only in some measure
to devote themselves to the interests of the causes they
not only do not deny, but even subscribe to, Jewry's
position would be a much more glorious one.

U. P. A. Asks Detroit Jews For $110,000 In 1928.

Joseph II. Ehrlich again heads the United Palestine
Appeal in Detroit. The task of the local committee,
under his chairmanship, will be to raise $110,000 dur-
ing the month of April. His committee will be faced
by the handicaps of a financial depression in our corn-
munity. The crisis in Palestine may be used as an ex-
cuse against renewing subscriptions for the upbuilding
of the Jewish Homeland. The old argument of "tired
of giving" may again lie heard. But to offset these
handicaps in the U. P. A.. workers will have the sup-
port of the great ideal which aims at the re-creation
of a center from which is to radiate a renewed spiritual
idealism. backed by a secured physical existence, of an
important section in Israel.

&Hui discoveries. Problems with
which theologians have wrested
through the centuries seem on the
eve of solution.
Here, in the tombs of the ancient
kings who ruled many years before
the Christian era, in the cisterns,
grain bins and streets of (he bur-
ied city Dr. Bade hopes to find the
origin of the alphabet and traces
of the first civilization. In these
ancient caves and buildings, so long
wrapped in mystic darkness, he be-
lieves he may find written the story
of the occupation of the Holy Land
back to the Neolithic Age, and be-
yond, when gigantic and grotesque
creatures roamed the earth some
40,000 years before Christ. Ile
cowry of the key to the ancient ill-
confidently looks forwoird to a dis-
scriptiona of the Ilittities, which
thus far baffled the ingenuity and
the research of the world's schol-
ars.

For the second time in le, than
two years, Dr. William Frederic
Bade dean of the School of
Religion,
divinity college of the
'
Congregational Church at Berkeley,
California, has probed relentlessly
into the bowels of the earth near
Jerusalem to bring forth its treas-
ures of antiquity.
Somewhat inure than a year ago
Dr. Bade startled the world with
the discovery of a buried Biblical
city, believed to be Of:. long-sought
Mazpah, alai laid bale its secrets,
which for centuries had been hocked,
seemingly forever, in the prison
house of time.
Now, anxious to complete the en-
terprise, of which his first effort
was comparatively only a begin-
ning, he has returned from his sec-
ond invasion of the region synony-
mous with Jewish history and SO
pregnant with Jewish achievement,
where he again poked his inquiring
finger beneath the successive layers
of the corroding., decaying ruins of
the years, to bring forth further
revelations, for venich the whole
scientific, historical and religious
world has been waiting. Other ex-
peditions will follow within the
next few years.
While the first expedition dis-
closed the ancient buried city it-
self, the second revealed fascinat-
ing information which confirmed
and threw light upon much Jewish

To date, the whole business hos result:al in Nothing,

he gains an idea of what the Jews gained at Versailles.
Nothing. Roumania and Hungary, and Poland. just to
mention the first that come to our mind, have treated the
Jews as viciously and as inhumanly since the Peace Con-
ference as ever they did before. And then WO have had

these find other countries live up to their guarantees that
it's no wonder no one knows whether he is coming or go-
ing.

Shalom Jacob Abramovich, the tenth anniversary
of whose death is now being commemorated, was one of
the leading figures in the neo-Hebraic renaissance of
the last century. His influence on Yiddish and Hebrew
literature is revealed in the endearing title by which he
became known as "Der Zeide," or "The Grandfather of
neo-Hebraic Literature." At the age of 23 he wrote his
"Mishpat Shalom," (The Judgment of Shalom), which
has reference to his first name and makes allusion to
the Hebrew text of Zachariah 8.16 (execute the • udg-
ment of truth and peace in your gates). The break be-
tween the old and new generations was depicted by
him in his "Fathers and Children," which was written_
under the influence of TurgenYev's novel bearing the
same title.
his early works were an attempt to answer the
question propounded by Judah Leib Gordon in a poem,
"For Whom Do I Labor?" Gordon, in his fear that the
coming generation would no longer be able to read the
JeWish national tongue, thought that he was writing for
the last generation of worshippers of Hebrew :

sidered."
On the other hand, it is asked, how dare a group
of Palestinian Hebraists decide on what is to be taught
in the Hebrew University? The university, as an insti-
tution belonging to all Israel, it is claimed by the group
propounding this question, not only has the right, but
is obligated to make a study of Yiddish. which is in a
sense a Hebraic dialect.
This is an interesting battle of tongues. the result of
which will undoubtedly influence the Jewish language
question in the Diaspora.

Moran and Mark, the two "Black Crows," in one Dart
of their funny dial 'guts, refer to "golfer feathers." What
are such feathers? The fuzz on peaches. I am reminded
of this by the results achieved by the Jews at the Peace
('inference in the matter of obtaining Minority Rights

munitits are, roughly speaking, segregated. Furthermore,
the incur of Notions stands ready to help the weak na-

The Grandfather of Neo-Hebrew Literature.

When Dr. J. L. Magnes, Chancellor of the Hebrew
University at Jerusalem, returns to Palestine within a
fortnight, the reception to be given him will not be a
pleasant one. In fact, instead of being greeted with
"welcome" signs, he will be met by protests against his
having accepted the offer of $100,000 from David Sha-
piro, publisher of the Day, for the establishment of a
chair in Yiddish at the Jerusalem University. The or-
7." ganizers of the protest are members of the faculty of
the Hebrew University, although opinion among the
professors and the leaders in Palestine is divided. Thus,
Chaim Nachman Bialik favors Yiddish. Dr. Klausner
and M. Ussischkin are opposed to Dr. Magnes' ac-
ceptance of Mr. Shapiro's offer.
While the dispute over the introduction of Yiddish
is in itself an interesting one, there are two questions
•
iQ that particularly arise from it. Ilebraists ask: "How
dare we decide the question of language for the Jews
of Palestine? Hebrew is the natural tongue for a re-
constructed Jewish Homeland, and the decision of the

pioneers in Jewish settlements is the only one to be con-

Hebrew Versus Yiddish: A Battle of Tongues

•

Z.`,`4;

Dr. Bade had been in Jerusalem
less than 21 hours when he and 1/r.
William F. Albright, director of the
American School of Oriental Re-
search, had started for the most im-
portant mounds he had under con-
sideration and which his studies
led him to conclude hid the buried
city of Mizpah. They took the cel-
ebrated Derek Schachem of North
Road, which lazily pursued its
winding way across Mount Scopus,
past the Biblical Nob, Saul's Gi-
beah and Samuel's Ramah, toward
a mound whose slightly slopes
smilingly beckoned during mn,l of
the distance there, Teller-Nasbeh.
It was the City of Karnali, Dr.
Bade points out, with its strong
wall, which Baasha, king of Israel,
was building when Asa, king of
Judah and Baasha's perpetually
warring enemy, bribed Ben-hadad,
descendant of a Syrian monarch
and ally of King Baasha, with a
great quantity of gold and silver,
to break his pact with the Israelite
ruler and attack him, forcing
Baasha to cease his building oper-
ations and discontinue construction
of his fortifications at Ramah.
Beyond a ridge on the way to Te-
en-Naarah was what Dr. Made de-
itared looked like "a pimple on the
landscape," known as the " hill of
beans." Near here was where Saul
rind Jonathan lived and sallied
forth to fight the Philistines. Sam-
uel went . fad from near this spot
to sit in the gate in Mizpah and
judge,

o f the most interesting facts
disclosed is that, as stated in the
Bible, the Israelites and the Ca-
naanites lived peaceably together
after the Israelites had invaded
Canaan, the Canaanites gradually
bong absorbed by the other race
until about 500 before the Chris-
tian era, when the Canaanites dis-
appeared entirely as a distinguish-
able pe ple. This is determined by
the pottery found by Dr. Bade, that
of the Canaanites showing gradu-
al modifications, to conform to that
of the Israelites.
1/r. Bade found seven levels of
the long-buried city, telling of 'its
advancing culture and of as many
destructive waves that passed over
it. Each level, he says, represents
a city that once thrived but was de-
stroyed. The lowest was of the pre-
Semit ie period, doting back almost
to the stone age; the next three
were of a Canaanite civilization,
the next two showed a mingling of
the native Canaanites with the Is-
ratlitish invaders and the upper-
mast ruins contained Roman relics.
Each time, after a city had been
destrayed, its people or others lured
back, perhaps several hundred
years later, and built again, only
to fall before another invading
host.
These explorations have torn
aside the veil of the centuries and
uncovered, at Tell-en-Nasbeh, eight
miles north of Jerusalem, what Dr.
Bade firmly believes is the long-
buried, long-sought city of Mizpah
—the city of Benjamin ; the city
where Samuel sat in the gate and
judged; the city whelar Gedaliah,
governor of Judah, MIS treacher-
ously slain by Ishmael and his fel-
low conspirators and thrown into
a cistern; the city of a th usand
traditions and tragedies and his-
toric features.
Dr. Bade has unearthed the walls
of one of the must strongly forti-
fied Israelite cities yet discovered,
dating back 2,00 or 3,000 years or
more before Christ. Ile has open-
ed up three tombs of the great an-
tiquity of the Bronze age, a num-
ber of grain bins and nine cisterns,
one of them believed to be the very
death chamber of Gedaliah, all up i-
cious and well constructed. Ile has
brought to light a harvest of an-
tiquities in the shape of Bronze and
Stone Age ceramics stall as the
world never before has :wee. With
about 175 water jars, pitohers and
ether specimens of pottery, be has
a finer culle•tion than is in axis-
fence at any museum in the world.
Ile has revealed parts of skeletons
and several crania, which he has
shipped to Berkeley, together with
many of the art works, as a nucleus
for a great museum at the Pacific
School of Religion in Berkeley. Ile
is now hoping, in fact, that some
wealthy person will create an en-
dowment for the erection of a $1000,-
000 building to house his and other
finds.
So rare and valuable are many of
the discoveries that it has been de
creed by the authorities in Pales
tine that a portion of them must be
returned there for their museum at
the end of two years of study and
exhibition in America.
The first expedition little mor e
than whetted the appetites of Dr •
Bade and his fellows for mor e
delving. They believe now the
are on the scent of even more won

If we had some one who would tell us about the Jew-
ish relief problems in Europe as Mr. Solow has dune with
the political problems of the Jews, I would have a medal
struck for him. I know the average American Jew doesn't
know any more about that subject than what is retailed
to him third and fourth and fifth hand.

Yes, we have no gentlemen today! That should be a
popular saying in Hungary because when the students act
like the hoodlums they are, and even such an outstanding
tenor as Javor shows himself to be a cad of the first order,
the country is hopelessly yokelish. The tenor, with rare
Ilungarian chivalry, hummed an anti-Semitic song in the
ear of the Jewish prima donna Zoledhegewi, whereupon
she reprimanded him. Again, being a Ilungarian gentle-
man, he slapped her in full view of the audience so vio-
lently that she fainted, and in falling broke her arm. We
may now expect the Hungalian students to show appre-
ciation of this action because "boors of a feather flock to-
gether."

A friend sends me a clipping from a Grand Rapids,
Mich., newspaper, reporting a very unusual occurence in
Manistee, Mich. harry J. Aarons, a Jew, and a well-
known business man it that community, died, and dur-
ing the funeral, all places of business were closed. And at
the same time, chimes were sounded at Guardian Angel
Roman Catholic Church. Mr. Aarons was a thirty-second
degree Mason.

So my old friend Leo Wise of Cincinnati, after 53 years
of affiliatiun with the famous "American Israelite," has
retired ill favor of his young.r brother, Rabbi Jonah Wise
of New York City. Well, I certainly am sorry. The very
first time met Mr. Leo \Vise was when I attended the
eightieth birthday of his father, the late 1/r. Isaac M.
Wise, the great inspiration of Reform Judaism in this
country today. And while I have lad had the Opprtunity
to see him, only at the most infrequent intervals, I always
lucked upon him as a friend in Jewish journalism. It
gives me great pleasure to express my personal thanks
publicly for the many, many kind and generous comments
that have appeared in the Israelite all through the years,
concerning my work. And I hope and pray that the sun
of contentment will soften the winter of his life.

I notice that Dr. Stephen S. Wise has condemned Jew-
ish employers who refuse to engage Jewish help. That
tort of thing has been going on in this country for a long
time, thus placing another whip into the hands of the
Gentile anti-Semites. The economic opportunities of Jew-
ry are becoming more restricted in this country. Even
there will be a limit to Jewish profesisonal men, for after
all, the country can stand just so many doctors and law-
yens. In the universities, a Jew has just about as much
opportunity to obtain a full professorship as Dr. John
Haynes Holmes has of being called to the pulpit of 1/r.
John Roach Striates. I know that our newt• comfortably
situated co-religionists will light a fresh cigar after read-
ing this paragraph and say, "Bunk!" Well, we shall see
what we shall see.

Page Dr. Melamed, editor of the Reflex! That an-
nouncement of David Schapiro's that he will give a hun-
dred thousand dollars for the creation of a chair of Yid-
dish in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, will, I am
sure, upset the Menckenesque editor. Mr. Schapiro is pub-
lisher of the New York Yiddish daily, The Day. 11r. Me-
lamed doesn't believe in bothering with culture in Pales-
tine, and that money should be spent only for agriculture.

"Caste," the dramatization of Cosmo Hamilton's story,
didn't stay on the stage long enough to get warmed up.
Plays of that type do not prosper unless the Jews suppart
them. I have noticed that plays dealing with the social
problem of the Gentile and Jew, bringing with it the ques-
tion of intermarriage, never seems to interest Gentile aud-
iences to any degree. Mr. Hamilton was rather peeved
that his play received such scant attention. But person.
ally I am glad to see all those half-baked Jewish-Gentile
problem plays off the stage as they mean nothing and ac-
complish nothing. I drew a breath of relief when Gals-
worthy's "Loyalties" finally petered out. It was a well-
written play but the Jewish character provoked nasty side
remarks that cause the blood to mount to the face of the
Jewish members of the audience.

this buried city believed to
be Mizoah the Arabs and others
for 2,000 years had been raising
their crops and pursuing their
peaceful way, little dreaming that
beneath them lay the ruins of what
finer. was an important center of
life and activity.
As the travelers plodded their
way onward, Palestine !wilted to
them a "land of milk and honey"
only in spots. Barren in much of
its aspect, very rocky and frequent-
ly rough, the stones are so plenti-
ful that a legend has grown up that
an angel flying with two paper
bags containing all of the rocks he
had gathered, broke one of them
and spilled all of the contents while
passing over Palestine.
Ilut on the morning a beautiful
sight presented itself, which Dr.
Bade declares excelled in loveliness
even the flowering fields of the Sier-
ras and made the most glorious pic-
ture he ever had looked upon. For
15 or 2 , 1 miles stretch great spread-
ing fields of anemones, of 19 differ-
. ent shades, purple, blue, red and
other tints, which he asserts, are
impossible to describe.
The unfailing sight of a buried
city, two bits of broken pottery
soon was much in evidence at Tel-
en-Nasbeh. Broken pottery is
worthless. Therefore it is thrown
oat and always left to mingle with
the soil. Dr. Bade spent days go-
ing back and forth from Jerusalem
and examining the fragments of
pottery found on the mound, repre-
senting all periods from the Bronze
Age to Graeco-Roman times. Quick-
ly he became convinced that here
indeed . was the missing city he
sought.
The way in which a city becomes
buried is of more than passing in-
terest. The ancients built their cit-
ies on hills, to permit fortification ,
erecting one wall around the city
itself and another below. During
the day they went forth to the sur-
rounding fields to labor with their
crops, returning in the evening and
posting watchmen on the wall at
night to give warning of an enemy.
There WAS no garbage collection.
What was discarded was thrown
into the street or onto vacant
ground. Soon the debris in the
streets would rise to the level of
the houses, which, in a storm,

I notice where a wonderful dinner was given for David

A. Brown in New: York the other night as a testimonial to
his marvelous work in behalf of world-Jewry. Mr. Brown
is just starting an a tour of the country to raise a half a
million dollars for the Union of American Hebrew Congre-
gations. At this dinner were many of New York's wealth-
feat Jews. They pledged whole-hearted co-operation in
raising the $150,000, New York's quota. One New York
paper carried the headline: "New York Jews Pledge $150,-
0 /0." After reading the article through very carefully, I
iltscovertil that they had really pledged only their co-oper-
alen. One would imagine that at a dinner where so much
wealth was represented that the $159,000 would have been
handed to Mr. Brown. However, co-operation is some-
taing.

it a magazine article to suggest that the late Iluudini was
impressed by spiritualism, that some of his tricks were
made possible through supernatural powers, and that he
arretly had a better rpinton of spiritualism than he ex-
hibited to the public. In my conversations with Houdini,
he always crnitemned medium!' without restraint. He said
that no medium ever had or could do a stunt that he
couldn't duplicate through sheer trickery. He raid that
spiritualists had done more than anybody else to fill our
insane asylums. Ile fought mediums to his dying day and
