THE SHIBOLETH.
Herman Riddcr, editor of the New
York Siaaiz Zeituug. was asked by tth
cans M to make..— so W
ward a declaration?
There was a crucial moment in the
when it be-
came necessary to pick true Hebrewa
to fight the battle of the Lord. “None
were to enter that battle but men of
unquestioned loyalty. 1But how could
their leader tell? By the test of "shib-
boleth." Only true Hebrews were able
to pronounce the word—the others
lisped “slbboleth.” So the army. was
picked and the battle won and lsrael
saved. ‘
This, too, is a testing time. And our
GermanAmericans should meet the
test. The Shibboleth of today is mere-
ly this question: “Do you approve of
the sinking of the Lusitania?" it re-
quires an answer without equivoca-
tion. And the man who answers “Yes"
is not an American. l

COTTON FINDS A MARKET.
Up to the let of May. this country
had shipped abroad 7,321,420 bales of
last year's colon crop. Up to the same
date a year ago, there had been ship~
pad 8,‘ 3.83 140 bales. The shipments,
therefore, are almost up to normal in
history of ancient israel,
spite of the war. The fears of calam-
ity that prevailed throughout the South
last summer and fall'prove to have
been groundless. The world must have '
cotton, and will get it somehow,I11‘ar
or no war. There is a fair prospect of
the entire crop finding a market at
lgures which, though not proportional
to the war-level prices of other staples,
will nevertheless pay the cost of pro
dilution, and which aproximate the
prices that might naturally have been
1
expected for so big a crop under norw
