ENGLAND COMES
 ID AID OF JEWS
Now Follows Course Similar to
 One Taken byU. S.
FOREIGN PRESS INTERESTED
Some Papers Say While American Po- sltlon Is Novel 1t Is chivalrous, But Will Probably Result In
 Good In Roumanla.

Berlin, September 1S.-The German for elgn office has received a note from the British government inviting some action upon the signatories of the treaty of Berlin of 1878 regarding Roumanias treatment of Jews. The British note is shorter than that of the United States on the same subject but 1t pursues the same end. It is assumed here that Great Britain knew of the United States step before hand and acted in support there of. The United States action is regarded as being quite within her rights, in seek ing assistance of the signatories in pre- venting an influx of indigent immigrants, which Is recognized as a substantial | grievance These two notes will result in an interchange of views between the powers as to what action is feasible. In the meantime 1t is expected that Rou- mania will take cognizance of the United States protest and defend her case upon her own initiative before the signator- les.
 United States Action chlvalrous.
 The foregoing represents the views of l the German government. but the press knowing nothing of the British note seems to consider the United States ac- ton as simply chivalrous and as not likely to result in practical measures. The yossische SC zeitung says that while thinking Germany will do nothing 1t still believes the United States note cannot fail to have a strong moral ef feet. adding:
 That perhaps, Is it's purpose. The United States does not need the protec- tion of Europe against pauper immigra- ton as it already has legislation suf- ficient to keep out undesirable immi- grants. What the United States aimed at, therefore was an expression of it's feelings of humanity. and which not withstanding it's novelty is an agreeable thing to see
 The Vossiche Zeltung publishes letter fl om Bucharest, Roumania, saying that emigration continues and that the Rou- manian government, in passing the law on the subject, promised to adopt ad- ministrative regulations that would miti gate harshness, but these expectations, the correspondent affirms, were not full | filled.
 The Post says:
 Have Mighty Protectors.
 "The Roumanian Jews have mighty protectors 1t is not long ago that cer- tain financial circles threatened to de" press Roumanian securities unless the government was more pliant towards the Jews. This failed, and now the Jews have the support of the United States We do not know what attitude the sign CTS of the Berlin treaty will take toward the note, but we know that all talk of the persecution of the Jews comes from incorrect suppositions as to what the new law is.
 The Post also asserts that this applies equally 10 all sects ard races.
 The Boersen Courier says:
 "The business of the RoumanIan gov- ernment now is to reply to the accusa- tions and bring proof that in its treat ment of the Jews 1t acts within the provisions of the Berlin treaty and will continue to do so.
 The Neuste Nachrichten doubts wheth- CT the United States note is based on ac- curate information or whether it will lead to any tangible result
