Prosecuting the Jews in Europe

Ans. .hzot ff1SlgslXetaoi shrd cmt2
From all parts of Europe gloomy
news OF hatred and oppression or the
Jews appears in the press.
In Roumania recently all Jewish
vine growers in the villages about
Jassy were ordered TO leave their
homes Immediately though they had
lived there many years. The reason
given was the rescript which forhids
Jewish residence in villages. This
order is equivalent to the loss OF all
their property by these farmers. When
appeal was carried to the national
government the petitioners were in
formed that the matter concerned
the village authorities only and that
the decision was finaL
Here Is an illustration from cuiti-
waited Vienna, and 1t must be remem-
bered that anti-Semitism finds no more
embittered adherents than among the
cultivated. Muley Hafid, the Marco
can "Bluebeard." lately ordered that
any Jew sitting out in the cooi OF
the evening on his housetop should
be shot. The sight or Jew annoyed
him as he looked of from the pavilion
of his palace in Fee
The writer's and philosophers of
Europe feel much the same way. The
pessimist thinker Weiniger declares
that the Jew has no soul. DIR. Adolph
Bartels, the new historian of German
literature. seems almost to have a
sort OF Jew hydrophobia and the Aus
trianized American philosopher, Stew
art Chamberlain. is not much better.
When the jew was only in trade he
was hated by those suffering from his
competition. Now that he is VIC

The Greek papers Alitea (Truth)

spite of their enlightened names been
reproducing the old ritualAstories. the
So called blood lies" which played
such a part in medieval anti-Jewish
persecution. Jews are again alleged to
be using tho blood or Christian boys
In their ceremonial The purpose of
all this Is of course the stirring up

The Jesuits have again erected the

pit the Jew, and especially the Jewish
press, is being denounced more and
more freely and frequently. The police

back Jews who wish to ,emigrate into
