Association of German Citizens Of
Jewish Faith. one of the most import
ant Hebrew organizations of Ger.
many, has definitely rejected Zion
ism, in so far as this movement
strives for p~articularism. and it has
announced that the Hebrew citizen
in Germany is first of all a German,
and Only secondly a Jew.
The association, at a recent meet
ing in Berlin, adopted a resolution in
dorsing the efforts Of the Zionists
to provide a safe home of the perse-
cuted Jews Of the east, and to awax-
en- pride in Jewish history and loyal
ty to its religion, but declared:
I'VE must, however, part from the
Zionist who rejects a German nation
al feeling, and who considers himself
a guest of foreign land and looks up.
on himself only as a Jew"
I'VE do not desire a solution OF
the Jewish question by international
action says another passage of the
resolution. "On the soil Of the Ger
man Fathcrland we desire to do our
part as Germans to further German
culture, while remaining true to our
communion, hallowed by history and
religion"
That German judges carr much less
money in the first years OF their ca.
reer than bricklayers, is the curious
fact brought out by a recent writer.
The average age at which young
jurists receive their appointment as
fu%ll-fledged judges is thirty-five
years; and at that age they earned
in subordinate courts positions only
about enough to pay for the expense
OF their education. At thirty-fve,
however, the average bricklayer has
already earned above $4,000. The
fudge receives $S5. a year upon his
appointment, and his salary rises
slowly to $3.50 at fifty years of age.
BY this time the judge has earned
about $1S,GG0. less the expense Of his
education, while the b%ricklayer has
a total of 1880. In other
words, the judge is, in his 44th year
when his earnings overtake those Of,
the b%ricklayer.
Nevertheless, there are 10000 judg-
es in Germany, and for many years
one Of the problems Of the country
has been to find ways and means to
discourage young men from entering
