THE OREGON. DAILY JOURNAL 18 FRIDAY MARCH 15; 1918. 1 ( ' 1 PORTLAND. OREGON FALL OF HOLY LAND INTO BRITISH HANDS HAS VITAL IMPORT Dr. , Mossinsohn, Educator and Sage, Says Capture of Jerusa f. Jem Saves Jewish People. hjiOim of the greateat and most far rechlnff"eventa of the; war, was the recent capture of Jerusalem by the feritiah, according: to Dr. Ben Zion Moaa Jnaohn, who addressed si large audience at The Auditorium Thursday night. The keynote of his address was in his open- . Ins words. ;The fall of Jerusalem was one of Ihe ; greatest events of the war," he , aald. '.'Not especially as a military vlc- . tory, because there have been greater and more important military victories by the allies. BUt hone of these has tnade a deeper impression than the cap ture of Jerusalem. . - "For a thousand years Christians and Mohammedans battled for the possession of Palestine. Christians as will as Jews, have a special Interest In Jerusalem fcnd Palestine. And this event inter ests them more than almost any other Of the great events which hive taken place. J f British Show Magnanimity I "But when, ul the-same time that the British soldiers took Jerusalem, the British government announced that it Intended to return their ancient land to the Jewish race, the most magnanimous act of the war took place. France, Italy, the Pope, the United States In tact, nearly all the allied nations, have given their approval of this position. The press of Germany vehemently attacked the Prussian government for letting the British take the lead la this zreat now ment, which has won - them the friend ship of the multitude -. of. "Jews throughout the world.." ; World Bearing Upon Jewry ' He tracted the history of the world from the French revolution, with es-i pecial reference to-its bearing upon the Jews. -He described the cause of the war, as being the desire of the large na tions to swallow up the smaller and such of the larger nations as they could. Repeating somewhat "what . President Wilson has declared, he said : "This war has. brought out the rights of small nationalities for complete free dom. The allies are fighting for the small and suffering nations, and it was U. their behalf that America entered the 2 great conflict. Each nation should have the right to develop its -own purposes. Its own ideals. Freedom , means not only political liberation,. but the oppor tunity to develop the culture which each nation possesses. The Jews are human beings, and human beings have been granted certain rights by the world. To . the -Jews as individuals, much has been given, but as a nation, nothing. Suffering of Jews Terrible "Never have the Jews suffered as they have in the last three years. . The coun tries of Belgium. Serbia and Roumania have buffered, yes. But it was inflicted by their avowed enemies. - The Jews have .suffered at the hands of their . neighbors, their, supposed friends. And the Jews in every, land have borne the brunt , of the struggle. Surely they should be rewarded by hav ing one spot in the world which they can call their own, where they can de velop their Ideals and culture." Dr. Mosoinsohn is to address the Ore gon Civic league Saturday noon. Quantity of Liquor Found nl Schooner Astoria, Or., March 15. Federal of ficers searched the schooner Annie Lar son which arrived from San Francisco Thursday and secured 528 quarts of whiskey. No arrests have been made as yet. There was no attempt made .to conceal the liquor, and it was found dis tributed throughout various quarters of the vessel. ADVICE TO BAR FROM SCHOOLS LANGUAGE OF HATRED . IS CHEERED E. D. Wishard Tells Business Men's Club Y. M. C. A. Is Doin Great Work at Front. That the teaching of German should be absolutely barred from the schools of America was . asserted amid cheers by L. D. Wishard, who was President Wil son's personal representative to the Eu ropean battlefront, during an address before the Progressive Business' Men's club at the Benson hotel Thursday after noon. "We don't teach the languages of bar barians." was Mr. Wishard's terse ex planation, which brought renewed ap plause. The speaker also declared that German is a language of harsh gutter als and will' be remembered by the world as the langauge of bitter cruelty, re morseless hatred and unscrupulous war fare. The climax of the address was Mr. Wishard's eloquent tribute to the T. M. C. A. "The war could not be won without the Y. M. C. A." he said. "Perhaps you don't realise what It is to be sent as a soldier 3000 miles from home, no chance for weekend visits, no opportunity for the hospitality of generous homes, but with that combination of chemical poi sons they call 'Innocent' wine in France and the 'red light' district always beck oning. Before the T. M. C. A- came, there was drunkenness and infection among even our soldiers. But the Y. M. C. A. 'hut,' big, roomy, comfortable, bright, attractive, with its talking ma chine and games and reading room and letter writing facilities has . destroyed. nearly, at the front the thirst for that Innocent wine and the lure of the Yed light' district: It Is keeping our boys pure, strong In heart, splendid In morale, fit for 'fighting, and fit,' too,- to return homo when they have won the war. Such an 'institution is worth SO times $50,000,000 to our troops and to ua. 'I have been profoundly Impressed with the quality of the' war service ren dered by the Portland Y. M. C. A. Your local association more nearly reaches the ideal . than any . other It has . ever been my good fortune to observe. It la maintaining a soldiers club, giving them Saturday nighV entertainment, sending 150 each Sunday to the hospitable homes of Portland, giving free the best of gym nasium privileges and baths, furnishing free beds and turning every available corner into dormitory . space when crowded. The Portland Y. M. C. A. can get. anything It needs to continue Its wonderful work." Federal Bestrictiori Of I.W. W. Is Urged Salem, Or., March 1?. While Oregon laws are ample to give protection against hoboes or I. W. W. of others stealing rides on railroad trains, Chairman Mil ler of the .public service commission is writing; to Senator McNary to urge fed eral legislation that will .' aid in suppressing- yus sort of travel. Mr. Miller said he was. writing the letter at the request of the railroad of ficials and the Washington public serv ice commission, as Washington, Idaho, Montana and some of the .other west ern states are having much trouble with that class of the population. Lumbermen to Hold " MeetiiiglMarch 29 In all probability the West Coast Lumbermen's association committee now in Washington, arranging spruce con tracts for the . aircraft program, will return In time to attend the deferred monthly meeting of the association to be held in Portland March 29. The meeting waa scheduled for Feb ruary, but was delayed because of meetings of Colonel Disque of the spruce production division of the signal corps, with coast lumbermen, and be cause of unsettled conditions then which arose from the eight-hour adjustment.
