JACOB HENRY SCHIFF BORN JANUARY 10, 1847. DIED SEPTEMBER 25, 1920 The American Jewish Year Book 5682 October 3, 1921, to September 22, 1922 Volume 23 Edited bv HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN for the AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1921 Uewish C. P< EIS4- At COPYRIGHT, 1921, BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA NEWYORKUNIVERSITY WASHi^TON SQUARE LIBRARY CT CL tT w 1 RT PEEFACE The past year has witnessed no marked change in the life of the Jewish people. There has merely been a development according to tendencies resulting" from pre-war conditions and the events of the past seven years. In the chronology for 5681, although we have again reports of numerous acts of humiliation and violence committed against our brethren in Eastern Europe and Hungary, yet many hopeful signs of returning order, sanity and humanity are already visible, and there are indications that with the return of normal economic con- ditions and political stability the situation of the Jews in this region will greatly improve. In the meantime, the Jewry of the United States has become the new center of gravity of the Jewish people. If we may disregard several misguided, though dangerous, movements to transplant anti-Semitism on Ameri- can soil—movements which have met with failure thanks to the courage and clear vision of leaders of thought and opinion, and the spirit of justice and fairness which characterizes the American people—we may say that the Jews of the United States have been most favored of Providence in being spared all of the many evils and sorrows visited upon the Jews of Eastern Europe. The leading article in the present volume is a biographical sketch of the late Jacob H. Schiff by Doctor Cyrus Adler. In the passing of Jacob H. Schiff the entire Jewish people have been bereft of a staunch champion and a worthy representative. His influence in our own country was so benign and so far- reaching that in the United States, both Jews and non-Jews, A82074 rv PREFACE will long cherish his memory, and as "mankind is enriched by the story of great personalities, and future generations are stimulated to high deeds by the knowledge of the acts of those who have gone before," it is but natural that the leading place in this volume should be given to a sketch of the inspiring life of this great American and devoted Jew. His splendid ser- vice to the Jewish Publication Society of America, only one of the many institutions which he loved, makes it all the more fitting that his memory should be thus honored, and readers of the American Jewish Year Book are fortunate in having the fascinatingly interesting details from the pen of Doctor Cyrus Adler, who was a close personal friend of Mr. Schiff and his enthusiastic co-worker in many an enterprise, especially those dealing with the promotion of Jewish education and learning. In the tragic death of Israel Friedlaender and in the passing of Abram S. Isaacs, the Jews of America have suffered further sorrow, and the Jewish Publication Society has lost two of its most conscientious workers. Brief notices of the lives of these two notable figures are, therefore, also given in this volume. Discussion about the immigrant and his place in American life has become very general within recent years, and it was considered valuable to give a survey of those agencies which the Jews of the United States have established for the purpose of helping their immigrant co-religionists to adapt themselves to conditions here, to imbibe American ideals, and to make their own contribution to those ideals. The account presented to us by Doctor Charles S. Bernheimer shows that the resources created for this purpose are numerous and varied, and are intel- ligently and efficiently administered. In order to reduce the greatly increased cost of paper, print- ing, and binding, the endeavor has been made to condense the PREFACE V contents of this volume wherever this could be done without reducing the usefulness of the various sections. Thus, the Record of Events has been made somewhat briefer; from the List of Periodicals, the section on Organization and Trade Journals has been omitted, and the Calendar for One Hundred Years, published in Volumes 21 and 22, has not been reprinted. The section on Statistics of Jews has again been revised by the Bureau of Jewish Social Research which availed itself of new information wherever this was accessible. In the preparation of the chronology for France, I had the enthusiastic assistance of Mr. Sylvain Halff, of Paris, who is already known to readers of the American Jewish Year Book. I also wish to acknowledge the valuable and painstaking aid of the late Mr. George Kessner, who met his death by drown- ing during the past summer. Miss Rose A. Herzog has again contributed her experience and care to the compilation of the Record of Events and to +he revision of the various Direc- tories and Lists. Thanks are extended also to Mr. I. G. Dobsevage, the Secretary of the Jewish Publication Society, who gave valuable advice and assisted in the reading of proof; to Doctor Cyrus Adler for his helpful criticisms: and to Doctor B. Halper, the Editor of the Society. HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN. AUGUST 25. 1921.

    Architect Biographies a Number of Architects Made a Distinct

    Architect Biographies A number of architects made a distinct contribution to the architectural character of the North Beach area of the city of Miami Beach. Some of the more important individuals are listed below. Joseph J. DeBrita (1901-1992) practiced in Miami Beach from the 1930s to the 1950s. He designed dozens of residential, hotel, and apartment buildings in the Art Deco, Classical Revival, and Post-War Modern styles. These include the Villa Luisa and Ocean Blue hotels on Ocean Drive, the Dorset and Coral Reef hotels on Collins Avenue, and the Eastview Apartments (Marriott) on Washington Avenue. With architect A. Kononoff, he designed the classical revival Mount Vernon and Monticello (Harding) hotels at 63rd Street in 1946. Other notable buildings by DeBrita include the Tropicaire Hotel at 880 71st Street, and apartment buildings located at 7725 Byron Avenue and 1208 71st Street. L. Murray Dixon (1901–1949) was a native of Live Oak, Florida, educated at the Georgia Institute of Technology (1918–1919). After Dixon moved to Miami Beach, he designed, beginning in 1933, over 100 surviving buildings in the Miami Beach Architectural District (N.R. 1979). In his short lifetime, he became one of Miami Beach’s most prolific and talented designers of hotels, residences and commercial buildings. Some of the many hotels Dixon designed are The Tides, Victor, Tiffany, Marlin, Ritz Plaza and Raleigh, along with numerous apartment buildings. In North Beach, he designed the Normandy Plaza Hotel at 6979 Collins Avenue and a number of apartment buildings, including 920 Bay Drive; 7345 Byron Avenue; 7625 Abbott Avenue; and 320–328 80th Street.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 In 1905 by "The Jewish Encyclopedia" at 1,508,435 In 1907 by " The American Jewish Year Book " at 1,777,185 In 1910 by " The American Je\rish Year Book" at 2,044,762 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates.

    American Jewish History A QIJilrteriY P11bllcatlon of the Amerloan J.ewlsh Hlstorloal SOciety Two Jewish Lawyers Named Lollis* JONATHAN D. SARNA The year r856 was a vintage year for brilliant Jewish lawyers named Louis. On November 13, r8s6, Louis Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky. One month later, on December 14, r856, Louis Marshall was born in Syracuse, New York. Louis and Louis were both first-generation Americans, born of central European Jewish parents. They both compiled stellar academic records. They both went on to have a profound affect on American law. Both were considered for seats on the U.S. Supreme Court, although only one of them made it.' And both became eminent leaders in American Jewish life. Yet while both men earned enormous respect within the Jewish and general communities, they never became friends and rarely worked to­ gether. They differed religiously, philosophically, and politically. They approached Judaism, America, and even the law itself from sharply different perspectives. The parents of Louis Brandeis and Louis Marshall arrived in America at approximately the same time in the middle of the nineteenth century.' Brandeis' parents hailed from Prague, Marshall's father from Baden and his mother from Wiimemberg. The two fathers had experienced prejudice and privation in central Europe that precipitated their emigration. Adolph Brandeis, who grew up in an urban area and studied at the Technical ,. An earlier version of this paper was delivered as the 1006 B. G. Rudolph Lecture in Judaic Studies at Syracuse University, commemorating the rsorh anniversary of the birth of Louis Marshall. I am grateful to Syracuse University for permitting me to publish the lecture here.

Axelrod The role men and women play in history can be viewed from two perspec­ tives. Either men determine history by their actions or history determines the actions of men. At times a combination of the two may take place. The relationship of Rabbi Henry Cohen 0863-1952) of Galveston and the Galves­ ton Immigration Movement, often called the Galveston Plan, was a case of combining these two historical perspectives. The necessity of a nation and a religious group to change its immigration patterns coupled with the extra­ ordinary humanitarian efforts of a great man created the product of an innova­ tive, well-planned program. This paper will examine the workings of the Galveston Plan and the role Henry Cohen played in making that plan a partial success.

    SUMMIT HOTEL (Now Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel), 569-573 Lexington Avenue (Aka 132-166 East 51St Street), Manhattan

    Landmarks Preservation Commission May 17. 2005, Designation List 363 LP-2176 SUMMIT HOTEL (now Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel), 569-573 Lexington Avenue (aka 132-166 East 51st Street), Manhattan. Built 1959-61; Morris Lapidus, Harle & Liebman, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map, Block 1305, Lot 50. On March 29, 2005 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Summit Hotel (now Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel) and the related Landmark site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been advertised in accordance with provisions of law. At this time, the owner testified, taking no position on designation. Twelve witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy, Historic Districts Council, Docomomo-US, Friends of the Upper East Side, Modern Architecture Working Group, Landmark West, and the Municipal Art Society. The Commission also received numerous letters and e-mails in support of designation. The hearing was continued on April 21, 2005 (Item No. 4). Three witnesses testified in support of designation, including representatives of the Modern Architecture Working Group and Docomomo-US. At this time, a representative of the owner testified, taking no position. Summary Admired for its unusual shape, color, and stainless steel sign, the Summit Hotel is an important work by Morris Lapidus. Begun in 1959, it was the first hotel built in Manhattan in three decades and the architect’s first hotel in New York City. Lapidus was especially proud of this building and reproduced an image of the Summit on the cover of his autobiography, The Architecture of Joy, published in 1979.

    The American Legion – Department of Oregon

    Department of Oregon History of 1921 The Department of Oregon The American Legion History of 1921 The 100th Anniversary of The American Legion 1919-2019 The Department of Oregon PO Box 1730 Wilsonville, OR. 97070-1730 503.685.5006 www.orlegion.org This document was produced on behalf of the Department’s 17,000 members, the wartime veterans of the 20th and 21st centuries, who can be found in 117 posts in communities across our great state. Compiled and edited by Eugene G. Hellickson Department Commander 2017 – 2018 Version 1921.1.1 2 THE RED POPPY FOR MEMORIAL DAY “Poppies in the wheat fields and the pleasant hills of France Reddening in the summer breeze that bid them not and dance.” So sang the soldier poet of the A.E.F.F. that blazing summer of 1918 when an unleashed American army was writing the Oureq and Vesle into our history. He sang of the poppies because it was through machinegun raked fields of them that the doughboys were charging; he sang of them because the doughboys were wearing them in their helmets as they roared ahead. Not all of us were along the Oureq and the Vesle that summer, taking German strong points with poppies in our helments, but every American can wear his poppy this Memorial Day, when the poppy, as the offical memorial flower of the American Legion, will blossom in hundreds of thousands of loyal lapels. The American who wears the poppy on Memorial Day is showing that he has not forgotten; for he wears it to remember – “Poppies in the wheat fields; how still beside them lie Scattered forms that stir not when the star shells burst on high; Bently bending o’er them beneath the moon’s soft glance “Poppies in the Wheat fields; how still ransomed hills of France.” The Red Poppy is the Offical Memorial Flower.
