GERMAN JEW MUST
Be GERMAN FIRST
Central Association of Citi-
zens of Jewish Faith Pro-
nounces Against Zionism.
FATHERLAND FOREMOST
Hebrew Should Not Consider
Himself Merely Guest in
Foreign Land.

BERLIN, April 19.-The Central As
sociation Of German Citizens of jew
ish Faith, one Of the most importan.
Hebrew organizations Of Germany, has
definitely rejected Zionism, in so far
as this movement strives for particular
ism, and it has announced that the He
brew citizen in Germany is first of all
German, and only secondly Jew.
The association, at recent meeting
in Berlin, adopted a resolution indors-
ing the efforts Of the Zionists to pro-
vide safe home for the prosecuted
Jews Of the east, and to awaken pride
in Jewish history and loyalty TO its re-
ligion, but declared:
"We must, however, part from the
Zionist who rejects German national
feeling, and who considers himself a
guest in foreign land and looks upon
himself only as Jew. F."
HWe do not desire a solution Of the
Jewish question by international ac-
tion,' says another passage Of the res
olution. con the soil of the German
Yatherland we desire to do our part as
Germans 10 further German culture,

Judges Poorly Paid.
That German judges earn much less
money in the first years Of their career
than bricklayers, is the curious fact
brought out by recent writer
The average age at which young ju
rists receive their appointment as full
fledged judges is 35 years; and at
that age they have earned in subordi
nate court positions only about enough
to pay for the expense of their edMca
tion. At 30, however, the average
bricklayer has already earned above
5000. The judge receives 1857 year
upon his appointment, and his salary
rises slowly to 1880 at so years Of
age. By this time the Judge has earned
about S1S,660, less the expense of bis
earned a total Of S11,s0O In other
words, the Judge is in his forty-fourth
year when his earnings overtake those
of the bricklayer.
Nevertheless, there are 10000 Judges
in Germany, and for many years one
Of the problems Of the country has
been to find ways and means to dis
courage young men from entering this
career.
Curious Blunder.
"King Alfonso's Accident. The King
Falls from His Horse While Playing
Golf and is Slightly Injured With
these and similar headlines over the
story Of the recent polo mishap of the
king Of Spain, many Of the leading
German papers showed how far from
widespread in Germany is real knowl-
edge Of sport, in spite Of the interest
taken by everyone In Germany, from
Hohenzollern princes down to the
humblest clerk and messenger boy, in
the coming Olympus games in Berlin,
Golf, too, had just been placed on the
Of the coming Olympiad by
the German committee as truly inter
national form Of sport.
That all is not smooth sailing FOR
the German committee In charge is
shown by the remarks of Privy toun-
cilor Goetz, head Of the German
Turner's association, who declared at
a meeting of the executive committee
that the Olympic games had proved
themselves "quite superfiuous, and in
general an enormous humbug.'

What makes the government feel un-

promises which it has been unable to
keep. 1t was said that the treasury
had money enough to carry on the war
indefinitely without resorting to new
taxation, and in n way this promise
has been kept, but only by raising
money by many secret loans at rather
high rate of interest. The last Of these
loans was for no less than 100000,

Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON, April 19.-Two matters are
agitating. the minds Of that part of the
English people who think of things
outside their personal sphere-the Mar
conf affair and Germany's enormous
military and naval plans.
In both Of these affairs the party
press has done all it possibly could to
distort the facts so as to make them
useful for its own purpose and prevent
the actual truth from becoming known.
Thanks to the persistent distortions
Of the Tory press, a good many people
here who had always been proud that
no charge of corruption had ever been
made against a British government,
are now hanging their heads in shame
because the reports in the papers of
the Marconi investigation have made
them believe that members of the Brit
ish cabinet have preferred prospects Of

Of the world, while the fact is that
Lloyd George and Sir Rufus Isaacs
have come through the ordeal with fly

chequer was never moro human, more
oonvincingly sincere, nor more worthy
Of respect than when he told how he
had saved enough out of his salary as
member of the cabinet to provide him
with an annuity Of the modest sum Of
$4,000 year in his old age.
The report that Germany, a country
which we had grown used to look upon
as being almost at the end of its finan-
cial tether and absolutely unable to
bear any more burdens Of taxation, is
going to spend an additional $12, ,500,0 900

Explanation Fails.

The German government has explained
that these great expenditures are neces.
STATED by the change in the balance of
power in southeastern Europe and as a
precaution against Russian attack, but
the English people should not be blamed
because thoy fail to see the use of
naval air station at Cuxhaven as a pre-
caution against q danger threatening
the empire s. eastern frontier, or if they
are unable to imagine that there is any
scope for naval action on the plains Of
eastern Prussia or western Russia. The
English cannot see in the present eff
forts Of the German government any
thing but the scheme OF a power that,
having realized that it must give up all
idea Of naval supremacy, is planning to
become absolutely supreme in the afr
as she is already easily supreme On land.
Under the changed conditions which
have resulted from Germany's latest
move, one cannot but admit that the
English nation most demand that its
government should prepare for any
emergency, just as the government of
France, country no less eager to pre-
serve peace than England, is already
