Original printed gray wrappers 8vo xiv 1 16-53 pages. 23 cm. <br> English translation of the Jewish Response to the First Anti-Shechitah Campaign in America responding with an explanation of the necessity for Jews to maintain the laws of ritual slaughter.<br> Aaron Zebi Friedman 1822-76 served as shochet or ritual slaughterer in his native Poland before immigrating to New York in 1848 where he found employment in one of the city’s largest kosher slaughterhouses.<br> In 1866 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals launched the first anti-Shehitah campaign in America. The president of the Society Henry Bergh dispatched a letter to the proprietor of a kosher abattoir in New York accusing him of engaging in "barbarous revolting and wicked" practices–the letter is reproduced in full in this work. Bergh further called on him to desist from violating the laws of New York and of God by "mangling and torturing his creatures."<br> Interestingly among the members listed in the letterhead of Bergh’s letter were August Belmont the Rothschilds' representative in America and Charles P. Daly a chief justice of New York.<br> In 1875 Aaron Zebi Friedman renowned for his piety composed a sharp rejoinder entitled Tub Taam to refute Bergh's accusations. He not only succeeded in silencing Bergh but even in convincing him: In 1885 Bergh defended shechitah against charges of cruelty leveled by the Philadelphia branch of his Society. Goldman 1092; JE Vol. V p. 518.<br> Among those who supported the Jewish position on Shechitah in the struggle against the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was President Ulysses S. Grant. According to Joakim Isaacs Grant "was moved by this English translation.to eat only ritually slaughtered meat in the latter part of his life" See J. Isaacs "Candidate Grant and the Jews" American Jewish Archives 17. 1 1965 p. 15 n. 31; I. H. Sharfman The First Rabbi 1988 pp. 591-92. <br> Apropos of the current culture wars animal rights organizations and activists within and outside of the Jewish world continue to criticize kosher slaughtering practices on the grounds of animal cruelty.

1942222242Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Edges of photograph little browned slightly affecting image reverse of slip evenly browned with one edge little abraded not affecting text overall a good pair. A view of a sea of abandoned materiel in Rangoon supposedly jettisoned by retreating Commonwealth forces under a scorched earth policy. The shells of trucks appear to make up the bulk of the scrap - wheel hubs and grilles litter the foreground while stacks of car bodies can be seen in the background. <br> <br>The capture of Rangoon by the Imperial Japanese Army proved to be a significant blow to Allied logistics efforts in China and Southeast Asia. Rangoon had served as the starting point for the critical Burma Road and its capture by Japan was seen at the time as a major strategic victory. Japanese planners had hoped that the fall of Rangoon would prove to be the death knell for Chiang Kai-shek's government in Chongqing still doggedly holding out after nearly six years of continuous warfare. These hopes failed to come to fruition however as supplies were instead airlifted and re-routed along the Ledo/Stilwell Road in Assam and Kachin. <br> <br>With Rangoon under its control Japanese forces were able to sweep across the vast majority of the rest of the colony with the notable exception of its northernmost reaches. By 1943 Japan had established sufficient control to establish the State of Burma as a puppet regime led by Ba Maw. With Burma as a foothold the Indian National Army under Subhas Chandra Bose were also able to establish their own pro-Japanese statelet later that same year. . unknown
1942222243Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Reverse of photograph lightly browned and slightly foxed in a few spots not affecting image slip also evenly browned on reverse and little creased overall a good pair. A view of a Japanese foot soldier armed with his Arisaka Type 99 and bayonet surveying the Nujiang/Salween Valley and River following what is claimed to have been a successful crossing. On the opposite bank a convoy of trucks can be seen winding their way along a dirt track leading away from the shoreline through a patchwork of terraced farms. The remnants of the Huitong Bridge having been destroyed by defending Chinese troops can be seen at the bottom of the valley. <br> <br>Although the explanatory slip included with the image declares the operation to have been a roaring success with a valiant crossing made and the road to Kunming and Chongqing opened by all credible reports the Salween Campaign proved to be a tactical stalemate for Imperial Japanese forces. Although the IJA had indeed been able to reach the Salween River a successful crossing was never made as National Revolutionary Army troops had taken up an entrenched defensive position prior to their arrival. Ultimately the IJA were dislodged by the NRA in 1944-45 with the assistance of Joseph Stilwell. . unknown

One soldier on a white horse is carrying the American Flag. The view also shows other soldiers and tents in the background. From wikipedia: <br /> <br /> The Mexican Border War13 or the Border Campaign14 refers to the military engagements which took place in the Mexico–United States border region of North America during the Mexican Revolution. The war's time period encompassed World War I during which Germany attempted to have Mexico attack the United States and engaged in hostilities against American forces there itself. The Border War was the fifth and latest major conflict fought on American soil where its predecessors were the American Revolutionary War War of 1812 Mexican–American War 1846–1848 and the American Civil War. The end of the Mexican Revolution on 1 December 1920 marked the close of the American Frontier. The Bandit War15 in Texas was part of the Border War. From the beginning of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 the United States Army was stationed in force along the border and on several occasions fought with Mexican rebels or federals. The height of the conflict came in 1916 when revolutionary Pancho Villa attacked the American border town of Columbus New Mexico. In response the United States Army under the direction of General John J. Pershing launched an expedition into northern Mexico to find and capture Villa. Although Villa was not captured the US Army found and engaged the Villista rebels killing Villa's two top lieutenants. The revolutionary himself escaped and the American army returned to the United States in January 1917. Conflict at the border continued however and the United States launched several additional though smaller operations into Mexican territory until after the American victory in the Battle of Ambos Nogales in August 1918 leading to the establishment of a permanent border wall.16 Conflict was not only subject to Villistas and Americans; Maderistas Carrancistas Constitutionalistas and Germans also engaged in battle with American forces during this period. n.p. unknown
