The Jewish outlook., 1904-09-16

not even under HerZl hlmSelI could IL
have achieved results.
Communal leaders, too many, has
death claimed during the year-Bernard
Lazare, in Paris, one of the first to arouse
the world to the Dreyfus infamy Julius
Plotke of Frankfort, and Alfred l.. Co
hen of London, both members OF the
Council of the Jewish Colonization AS
sociation; Col. Albert E. w. Goldsmid
of London, soldier, Zionist and founder
of the English Jewish Lads Brigade;
Myer S. Isaacs of New York, president
of the Baron de Hirsch fund since it's
foundation, and foremost in all good
works, and Leo N. Levi, president of the
B mai b 'rith, whose large soul and keen
intellect inspired the Kishineff petition.
His wise and energetic administration Of
his office raised the order of B mai B 'rith
in the brief term of his incumbency to
an important body, to be reckoned with
in Jewish affairs. He was succeeded as
president by Mr.. Simon Wolf of Wash
ington. At the meeting of the executive
committee at which this selection was
made resolution was adopted declaring
that no action was to be taken upon any
public question except by the concur
renee of the president. vice president
and honorary secretary.
Death was busy, too, among scholars
and writer's. DR.. Marcus Jastrow, rabbi
and Talmudist, and Simon A. Stern, the
litterateur, both of the publication COM
mittee of the Jewish Publication So
ciety Karl Emil Franzos Jewish novel
list: A. B. Arnold, physician and writer:
and Chain Selig Slonimsky, scientist
and journalist, are some of those who
died during the year. The passing
away of two military of high rank
Leopold See Frenc.. general, and
jacques Nissim Pasha, Turkish surgeon
in chief, brings to mind the condition in
Germany In March, JustiZrath Feigl
Of Berlin wrote to the Emperor com
planning of unfair discrimination against
his son in the army, stating that in thirty
years not one Jew had been promoted to
the rank Of commissioned officer and
he felt this all the more keenly because
he himself had been commissioned Of
ficer in the Franco-Prussian war, and
had been honored with the Iron Cross.
The Emperor ordered reconsideration
of the case and after such reconsidera-
ton young Feigl was notified that he
was not promoted because he did not
reach the required standards.
His failure is interesting in connec-
ton with the resolutions Of the German
Societies for combating anti-Semitism,
setting forth the facts that there is not
one Jewish officer in the army to-day
and there are but two Jewish surgeons,
