JEWS WILL NOT BE
FOUND WANTING IN
PRESENT TROUBLE
(Tacoma News)
The Jews of the United States have
always volunteered and fought out of
proportion to their numbers and they
will not fail in the present war in loy
alty and service, Rabbi Samuel Koch
of Seattle told his audience at the
public forum of the First Congrega
tional church last evening. Jews are
paying the price of nationalism in the
present war in Europe, he said, where
600,000 are engaged on the various
fronts with the allies and the central
powers and Jew is shooting Jew, even
in the interests of nations which have
oppressed them.
Rabbi Koch said he believes that
the creation of a Russian republic will
' end Zionism, and that Palestine will
become the seat of Hebrew culture,
instead of a political and economical
! refuge.
“According to statistics compiled by
: Israel Zangwill, about 18 months ago,
there were at that time 600,000 Jews
in the war,” said Rabbi Koch. “Of
these 350,000 are with Russia, 170,000
with Austria, 50,000 with Germany,
20,000 with Great Britain, 2,500 with
Italy and Serbia and the rest scatter
ed among the other belligerents.
Each is fighting for the ideal of the
1 country in which he lives, ardently
pressing forward and doing his duty
I as he sees it. The Jews are fighting
. for the countries which have not giv
en them justice. Only England and
i Italy have been just to the Jews and
I they only since the 19th century.

I fight considering how they have been
! treated. It is not a war of national
i ities to them, for Jew is shooting
down Jew. They are paying the price
of nationalism.
“And with the same test the Jews
| of the United States will be fighting
for this country. The Jew has always
j served the United States well and
fought far out of proportion to hi*
numbers. The Jew in this country
does not have to apologize, history
: vindicates him and shows what he has
done all along the line. We are not
newcomers but are among the origi
nal indwellers, having corns to this
! country 20 years after the Pilgrim
fathers.
“The future in Russia for the Jew
is encouraging. He will have civil
rights under the republic and I think
that its creation has dealt a death
blow to Zionism. If Palestine be
comes a British colony should the al
lies win, and who now can doubt this,
it will become a center of Jewish cul
ture instead of merely a home for po
litical and economic freedom. At the
present time there are 25,000 Jews
living there and they have done much
to improv^ the country. They have
planted 1,000,000 eucalyptus trees
and orange groves and have founded
schools of art and literature.
"The Jew stands ready to do ms
duty. He is loyal and will fight for
the ideals for which the United States
stands.”

tllHU HOOT TO
TO 1 RUSSIA
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Elihu Root
announced Thursday that he had ac
cepted the post of chairman of the
commission to Russia. He was not
able to say just when he will depart.
; The other members of the commission
i have not yet been named, but it is
; understood that Charles R. Crane,
j who is now on his way to Petrograd
| on a private mission, will be a member
of it.
It has been the conviction, not only
; of this government but of the mem
bers of both the British and French
■ commissions now here, that aid should
be extended to Russia among the first
of the allied nations. Reports from
Ambasador Francis have shown that
the greatest need at he present time,
in the formative stage of the new
government, is business and engineer
ing direction in the construction of
railroads.
Mr. Root is regarded in the state
department as especially fitted for the
delicate duties he will be called upon
j to perform. He is versed in statecraft
and is familiar with all the details of
organization. Mr. Crane, who prob
ably will be his associate, is one of
the best informed men on Russian af
1 fairs in this country.
Mr. Root conferred with President
Wilson Thursday for an hour as to the
purpose of the commission and then
talked with Secretary Lansing. He
would not discuss in any way the com
mission’s plans—in fact, would say
nothing whatever as to his connection
with it, preferring to let Secretary
Lansing make any announcement to
the public.
The full personnel of the commis
sion, which in addition to Mr. Root
i is to include railroad experts, finan
cial authorites and two or three other
experts, will be announced very soon.
Realizing the need of immediately
exerting assistance of all kinds to
1 the new Russian government, it is
the purpose of the president to send
the commission abroad as quickly as
the business affairs of the members
can be settled. However, the same
i secrecy as to details of leaving and
! route will be maintained as was prac
ticed concerning the French and Brit
ish commissions sent to the United
States.
Mr. Root’s selection and his accep
tance was taken as the final sign of
a complete American politcal unity
for the war, Mr. Root having been one
of the president’s political critics, and
Colonel Roosevlt’s former secretary of
state.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—President
Wilson, in a letter to Arthur Bris
bane of New York city on Thursday,
expressed his approval of the so-cal
led espionage bill now before both
branches of congress and declared he
did not expect it would be used to
shield him from public criticism.
The president strongly upheld the
fredom of the people to indulge in
“patriotic and intelligent criticism.”
In the senate the press censorship
clause of the espionage bill was vig
orously opposed last week by several
senators, who saw in it abridgement
of the constitutional rights of free
speech. As a result the clause has
been modified. The president’s letter
follows:
‘T sincerely appreciate the frank
ness of your interesting letter of
April 20, with reference to the so-cal
led espionage bill now awaiting ac
tion of the congrest.
“I approve of this legislation, bn*
I need not assure von and those in
