Berlin, April 19.-The Central AS
ISOLATION of German Citizens Of Jewish
Faith, one of the most important He
i brew organizations of Germany, has
definitely rejected Zionism, in so far
as this movement strives for particu-
larisrn, and it has announced that the
Hebrew citizen In Germany is first of
/ all German, and only secondly
Jew.
i The association, at recent meeting
in Berlin. adopted a resolution in
dorsing the efforts of the Zionists to
provide a safe home for the perse-
cuted Jews of the East. and to awaken
pride in Jewish history and loyalty to
its religion, but declared:
I'VE must, however, part from the
| Zionist who rejects a German national
/ feeling, and who considers himself q
| guest in foreign land ard looks upon
himself only as Jew"
I'VE do not desire solution of the
| Jewish question by International ac-
tion," says another passage of the
resolution ION the soil of the Ger
man Fatherland we desire to do our
part as Germans to further German
| culture. while remaining true to our
communion halfowed by history and
religion
Poorly Paid Judges
That German Judges earn much less
money in the first years of their ca
reer than bricKIayers. is the curious
fact brought out by recent writer.
The average age ar which young
iurists receive their appointment as
full fiedged judges is thirty five years;
and at that age they have earned in
subordinate courts positions only
about enough to pay for the expense of
their education. At thirty five, how
ever, the average brickIayer has al
ready earned above $4,000. The judge
receives 1857 year upon his appoint
ment and his salary rises slowly to
1880 fifty years of age. BY this
tirs .Idges has earned about s18.-
&C., ices The expense of his education,
while the bricklayer has earned a total
OF $11,8 500. In other words, the judge
is in his faith year when his earnings
overtake those of the brick.ayer.
Nevertheless, there are 10000 Judges
in Germany, and for many years one
of the country has been to find ways
ard means to discourage young men
from entering this career.

That all is not smooth sailing <or

Wars on Bucket Shops.
| The Berlin courts are pushing their
war upon 'tbucket-shops" with great
| energy. Within a fortnight three So
called bankers have been sentenced
| to five years Imprisonment by two
| different courts.
| The first court spent eleven weeks
! in the trial OF one of these men. found
| him guilty OF defrauding his custom
ers, and imposed fine OF $4,000 in
addition to the sentence mentioned.
The two other men were convicted OF
/ the same crime. In this case 1t was
proved that the prisoners never filled
| the orders of their customers on the
stock exchanges, but only carried them
/ on their books and collected such
| heavy commissions as to swallow up
all profits.
/ The Arm composed of these two men
started in business with a capital of
i $1,000 BY skillfully worded circulars,
| and the sending out Of drunnners to
| get business, they succeeded in swind-
Il ling their customers out of $350,00Q.
i One man was soon living at the rate
4 of $2o 900 a year, but the end came
Il when his partner faisifed the books
in order to get more than his share
of the spoils. The sentences are
heartily approved by the reputable
bankers of Berlin.

dismissed. and the Russian army de-

Il Details of this situation have just
