~ MONDAY, QCT. 20, 1919, SHRINERS RULE CITY SATURDAY WITH LAUGHTER Famous El Zagal Temple Pil- grims From Fargo Bring Music and Merriment DANCE AND ARE DINED Bringing mirth and melody with them, the pilgrims of El Zagal temple of Fargo rolled into Bismarck Satur- day night on their special train andj until long after midnight entertained the city and themselves as only Shrin- ers out for a general jollification can entertain, From the moment their feet touched the capital city soil until their train tooting a last farewell disappeared in the east, the Shriners led in the merry making. ‘Arrayed in their = striking costumes and headed by their band the El Zagal caravan marched thru the principal streets of the city escorted by. local Shriners finally winding up at the auditorium. She auditorium was many being forced to Shriners started their entertainment there. Because of the limited space on the stage, it was necessary to fore- go the grand entry, but the other feat- ures of the program were lived up to, including the drill by the Arab patrol, the singing of the Chanters the musi- cal numbers by the band and the Or- iental players. Rev. W. J. Hutcheson, who is one of the best’ known Shriners in the state, in.a brief talk introduced A. G. Arnold, of Fargo, illustrious potentate. » Mr. Arnold responded by saying that play was not only beneficial to everybody but a necessity as well for “when a man plays he is not at any mischief or doing harm to himself or anybody else.” He closed by urging everybody to be their naturalselves once in a while and enjoy periods of merriment and fun. Oriental Band; Popular The big hit of tha evening. was, the Oriental band: which made music that made it difficult to keep the feet from dancing. The Chanters also captured the audience with their songs, especi- ally the one about/the novice sung to the tune of “Smiles.” After the program at the auditorium had been given, the visitors and local Masons and Shriners went to the Ma- sonic Temple where some of the finest dance music that had ever been heard in this city furnished the incentive for dancing until a late hour. The Shrin- ers and Masons of this city then en- tertained the visitors from El Zagal temple with a duck dinner and then es- corted the pilgrims back to their spe- cial train. ‘ ‘The local committee that had charge of the evening’s festivities was com- posed of William Kraft, Raymond Bergeson, G. H. Allen, F. A. Lahr, J. P. French, Chris Bersch, Harry Thompson, Capt. A, A. Jones, Majur G. H. Russ, Jr, J. A. Graham, M. B. Gilman, P. W. Roberts, J. L. George, J GC.

It is safe to say that she will be- come a prominent figure in national democratic. circles. In the 1916 cam- paign operating from Chicago, Mrs. Bass did remarkable work for the democrats.

New York.—Reports of the cond!- tion of Jews in the Balkan countries, ag made to. the American Jewisp Re- lief committee by its investigators abroad show that economic ruin, epl- demics. of typhus, tuberculosis, and other diseases have fallen to the lot of Balkan Jews to an extent equal to that suffered by their co-religionists in other war-torn’ countries, but that po- litical and religious repressive meas- ures have been lacking. The first detailed account of the sit- uation in Serbia in many months fs from Dr, Isane Alcalay, chief rabbi of Serbia, with headquarters in Bel- grade. He said Belgrade was. still without regular communication with the provinces, because the railroads nnd bridges destroyed by the Austrians have not been restored. “During the war,” he wrote, “Jews in Belgrade suffered proportionately more thin the rest of the population. Most of their habitations were exposed te gunfire throughout the 15 months that the eity was under bombardment. Almost all homes are destroyed. The Jewish population of the city, formerly 8,000, now numbers no more than 4,500. The nmnber is being Increased daily by returning refugee Many men are still with the colors, Have Suffered Terribly. “Beonomically, the Serbian Jews have suffered terribly. Because of the uncertain political situation, all regular commerce is impossible, and it is difficult for Jewish citizens to im- prove their condition, This has de- prived institutions of financial ald from the native population. Jewish schools are totally destroyed and the children cannot be educated. “Such a situation is unfortunate, for the war has brought us new duties, The Jews of old Serbia took a very active part in the Balkan wars and in the world war. The of fight- ‘ng have deprived more than 400 fam- ilies of their brend winners, ‘These neople have to be helped. In Bu 4, according to a report from 3 Tletty Goldman of this city, the condition of the Jews is some- what better than in Serbia. Poverty is not so widespread, nor are health ceniltions so bad. The families of Jewish residents re- ceive allotments ranging from 45 to 70 lfevas a month, necording to the size of the family., Recently the maximum was raised to 90 Jevas to meet the rising cost of living. The pensions will be continued for widows and or- phans. “Bulgarian Jews: are able to meet the needs of their own poor, but they have recently been confronted with a new responsibility. Roumanian Jews are seeking refuge in Bulgaria, and their Bulgarian co-religionists are at a loss to know what to do with them, There is no work, even for skilled ar- tisans. “A soun ‘kitehen is being run for these ‘people of Sophia, but many are desperate. An allotment from our American Jewish relief fund must be made to care for them.” In Roumania there is need of cloth- Ing and staple foods. Tt was Miss Goldman who made the investigation tn this country also. i Clothing Greatest Need. “The people needed clothing above everything else,” her report reads. “Almost everybody is shabby, and a large percentage of the poor are prac- without clothing. I went into many homes where the inmates had on mere rags or were huddled in torn blankets of sacking. “The second greatest need ‘is for staple foods, such as dry beans, peas, rice, vegetables, fats and the like. Such supplies as are to be had are sold at exorbitant prices. American Jew- Ish relief committees should send clothing: and food for about 35,000 per- sons. Only if this is done will they have protection against the hardships of next winter. “T was painfully impregged by the number of sick in Roumania. In Bu- charest, out of a Jewish population of 45,000 there was an average of eight funerals a day last winter. A large percentage of typhus cases in Bucha- rest and Jassy have been among Jews. 'The lack of clothing, especially of clean tinderwear, has been a cdntrib- uting cause., The inability to obtain fuel. made families huddle in their rooms, - Some did not go outside their homes practically all winter.” Machinery for the effective distribu- tion of relief in the Balkan countries is. in operation. More than $200,000 worth of supplies, Including several tons of kosher ment, was. sent from New York late in July to Constanza, Roumania. The American Jewish re- Nef committee, under the chairman- ship of Louis Marshall, plans to con- tinue regular shipments of this kind to the Balkans and to Poland, Galicia, Czecho-Slovakia, and the other coun- tries: 3 For.this purpose a fund of $35,000, 000.<is being sought in the United States;this year. ‘ Dance given by A. 0.

George Washington was wor- shipful master of Alexandria lodge when he became the first chief execu- tive of the United States. The apron which George Washing- ton wore as a Master Mason; the im- plements which he used as, worshipful master; the charter of the Alexandria lodge, granted to George Washington, “late commander-in-chief of the Unit- ed States forces,” by Edmund Ran- dolph, grand master of Virginia; auto- graph letters proving his pride in his Masonic connection and other highly prized relics now are owned and cared for by Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22 and are kept in a building which is not fireproof nor well caleu- lated to afford display to an interest- ed_world. In the Memorial temple which the eraft of America purpose to erect at Alexandria will be preserved and ex- hibited these interesting relics. Pro- visions will also be made for suitable quarters for grand bodies, a library and a commodious auditorium for Masonic gatherings. The movement aims to make Alexandria a national shrine for Masonry, and to do this through free will offerings which will be accepted only from members of the craft. The national advisory board is headed by John Wanamaker, and it includes in its membership Thomas R. Marshall, vice president of the United States; former President William Howard Taft, U.S. Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyoming, Major General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., retired; Major General Leonard Wood, ,U. S. A.; Frank 0. Lowden, governor of Illinois; Champ Clark, ex- speaker of the house of .representa- tives, and Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury. The movement is under the grand lodge jurisdiction in each state and is handled directly through the district deputy grand masters. In the Bis- marck district L. K.

Would they do it? No! Never! Even with the creditors’ own receiver in charge, on goes the mad crusade for farmers’ funds to save that sol- vent (?) bank. Tf that bank were solvent these roisterers would sit complacently back in their new office chairs and say: “Go to it examiners, accountants and state auditor! Go to it! The more inves- tigation the better,” and laugh into utter rout any charges of insolvency, irregularity or crime.» The frenzied ones THEN would be the! so-called Big Biz state officials, who, left to their worst, “vould, when full investigation proved them false, inefficient or dishonest, be relegated to the oblivion of removal or to the penitentiary.
