It is the declared and established policy of this paper to take no part in political campaigns. We deem it proper.for a paper of .this character to refrain from all activities of a'partisan or political character, yet, we feel it the duty of t&e JEWISH PRESS to foster an increased interest, on the part of its readers, in their Civic duties and to promote ardent and active citizenship among those constituting the Jewish contingent of our population. It is one thing to live in America; it is another to be an "American". The fact of residence in the United States brings the enjoyment of certain privileges. The status of being an "AMERICAN" involves certain duties and it is a grave offense to be a mere resident of America, without at the same time being an American. What, is required of one to merit his standDemand Notes of Money to be Given ing" as an "American"?

STRAUSS IMPRESSED WITH ! WHAT HE SAW IN'JERUSALEM New York, (J. T. A.)—In a letterwritten by Nathan Straus to his Secretary, Ruth Burkes, which was received by her today from Egypt, Mr. Strauss states that since his visit to the Holy Land last month, he feels greatly encouraged as to its future. "It is very important," Mr. Strauss writes, "that people come to the Holy Land to see for themselves just what has been accomplished and all that would be required to make converts to the cause is a personal visit by them to the Land of Israel. The progress made, particularly by the immigrants, is unbelievable, unless seen with one's own eyes."
