countries in Europe whose people are
not declared enemies of the Jews.
These countries are Germany, Austria
and Italy.
There has never been a country
which has hated, baited or perse-
cuted us more than Russia, Rou-
mania and Greece. Hence we have
no choice in regard to the side we
are to take in this conflict in which
the threats of 26,000.000 soldiers and
of 100000 cannon shall proclaim the
fate of races and nations for CEN
turtles to come, and in which our fate,
too, that of the Jewish race is bound
to be determined for many, many
generations.
1.-THE nations that are with us and
for us shall have us on their side.
When we go into battle those flags
shall wave above us, beneath which
the Jew, both as man and Jew, is
allowed to breathe freely.
with all our own hearts we hope
that they who are personally re-
receive the punishment due them
personally. But now that it has been
begun, it no longer is the war of
Emperor Francis Joseph-it is the
war of Austria. 1t is not the war of
Kaiser Wilhelm. but the war of Ger
many. And these countries have
been just toward us and we will be
just to them.
Russia has ever been anti-Semitic,
and will ever remain so. In Rou-
mania Jews are treated like dogs. In
Greece Jews are prosecuted, and even
England has latterly begun to bait us.
And in France our condition has be-
come almost as intolerable as it was
at the time of the Dreyfus scandal.
This all draws us and our SYM
pathy to the one side. With an
anathema for those who force Jews
to fly at one anothens' threats, who
compel Austrian Jews to war against
Russian, German against French
Jews, and with condemnation of the
war in general, we Jews see our sal
vation0in the defeat of Russia and
her allies and in the victory of Aus
tria and Germany"

BOND |SSUEFOR
SCHOOL DEFERRED
May Now Resort to Courts to
Get Site for High School
in Summit.
Special to the Evening star.

Speciat 10 tne Evening star.
SUMMIT, Aug. 5.-Explaining that
his committee wanted time to consider
further, Councilman Edward G. Prin-
gle, chairman of the law and ordinance
committee. did not report the ordi-
nance providing for the raising of
$4,000 for a new high school site by
a bond issue, at last nights meeting
of Common Council.
1t Is the opinion Of many that IL
the Board of Education receives the
high school site appropriation, it will
be only after the courts have forced
the council and Mayor Francis H. Ber-
gen to provide the funds. That man
damus proceedings will be resorted to
by the Board of School Estimate or
Board of Education seems probable.
For nearly two hours prior to the
opening of the regular council meeting,
Mayor Bergen and the members of
council discussed in private the school
site proposition and the matter Of the
purchase of a new auto hose appara-
tus for Hose Company No. 2, which
purchase was ordered at the open ses-
sion. The Board of Trades postal
card vote on the school site purchase
question was made known to Mayor
Bergen and the councilmen by C. H
| c. Jagels, president of the trade
board. The returns showed 232 tax
payers opposed to the plan and GA In
| favor of the site purchase. The COM
| munications relative to the scheme
! addressed to Mayor Bergen, 1t was
announced, were about equally di.
! vided in favor and in opposition te

The Yiddish newspapers of New
York have cast their lot with Ger
many and Austria. An editorial IN
the Tageblatt says:
What have Russians, Poles, Bull
garians and Serbs ever done for
civilization? They have invented
nothing; have not built up any po-
litical systems, have not furnished us
with any new ideas. Whatever
their race possesses 1t has taken
from others. Their own specialties
are massacres, and to beat and cruel
fly innocents and be generally brutal.
I'VE know the inhumanity of Rus
slams well enough. The Serbs be-
trayed their brutal character when
they broke into the room of their
reigning couple, butchering them to
make room for the present King,
Peter. The enormities committed
by the Bulgars during the recent
Balkan war were well enough
authenticated by commission sent
to investigate.
"Such is the low-standing, ignorant
barbarous and unenlightened race
which has declared war upon the
civilized races of Europe to acquire
control of them. Such is the race
which, under the lead of the Russian
Car, has been seeking the way to
Constantinople for centuries.
mo greater calamity could befall
the world-not only Europe, but the
whole civilized world-than for this
race to emerge victorious. Victory for
the Slavs would spell ruin for Gull
ture, popular government liberal
ideas and freedom of thought. Vic
tory for the Slavs would mean the
destruction of all progress which
Europe has made during the past 400
years, and the stemming of the prog
rees of civilization for ages.
what an unworthy and terrible
spectacle, to see liberal France aid
ing Russia to spread over Eur ,pe the
Slavic barbarism!
"And to see England, the mother OF
parliaments,' herself nation belong
ing to the Teuton race, attacking
Germany in order to help the savage
Slav block the advance of humanity
In sheer dread of Germany these two
countries, representative of culture
and progress, have joined hands tt

OF EXPERIENCES
ABOARD CEC|L|E
Newarker, Who Was Passenger
on Treasure Ship, to Return
Home Today.

William Halsey Peck, president OF
the City Trust Company, of this city,
who, as told in the Evening Star yes
terday, was one of the passengers on
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, has writ
ten a. letter to his home, 81 North
Sixth street, from Bar Harbor, where
the treasure ship discharged her pas
sengers yesterday afternoon.
The letter, which was received by
Mrs. Peck today, was very brief,
merely announcing that all of the
passengers on the ship were well AND
happy. Mr.. Peck said that through
out the flight back TO America no
ship was seen by the passengers. He
informed Mrs. Peck that he would
return to Newark some time today,
but had missed the first train that
left with passengers to New York.
When he started Mr.. Peck planned
to motor through the Austrian Tyrol
and Germany. He intended to remain
away for about six weeks.
In the letter Mr.. Peck said that the
passengers and crew of the ship had
behaved splendidly throughout the
return voyage, making picnic of it.
Everybody had displayed the utmost
confidence in Captain Polack, and at
no time had any fear of being at
tackled.
Among the other passengers in the
Kronprinzessin Cecile is David Ma
gle, jr., son of DR.. David Ma
gle, of Elizabeth, and nephew OF
Former Chancellor Magic. Mr.. Ma
gle is now an instructor in Prince
ton University and formerly teach
er in Newark Academy. He lives
in East Orange, but his home is
closed and his neighbors do not ex-
pect his immediate return.
The list of Newark tourists now
marooned in the European war zone
grows hourly. A postcard received
in the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation from Ivan p Flood, the di-
rector of the boys department, to-
day, would indicate that he Is now
in Germany. The card was dated
July q, and was mailed at Scheze-
ningen, Holland. Mr. Flood wrote
that he was bound for Cologne, from
there to Mayence and then to Switz-
erland. He intended to sail for Amer
lea in the Aquitania, August Is.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard Wallin, step
father and mother of Arthur c. Hen
sler, the secretary and treasurer of
the Joseph Hensler Brewing Com
pany, are now believed to be safe in

them was received at the brewery
Sunday night, in which it was said
that they were on the German Dor
der, bound for that country Mr.

1000 RESERVES
| SAIL FOR FRANCE
ON THE LORRAINE
Flood of Tears Shed as Steamer
Pulls Out-Father Paul
Renaud Aboard.
BY the United Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The French
liner Lorraine sailed today on tide
of tears. Aboard her were 1000
French reservists. They answered
the call to the tri-color. They sailed
away, perhaps to death, following a
pathetic leave-taking of their friends
and their dear ones. Splendidly
dressed women who had come to bid
saloon passengers God speed. broke
down, embraced the sturdy private
soldiers Of the reservist corps and
comforted the sobbing of the men
with their kisses
Above all the sounds of loading of
the ship the hustle and confusion on
the docks. could be heard the low
moaning and weeping of those who
were departing and those who were
left behind. Strong men crouched on
the deck. their heads in their hands,
as they were bowed in prayer and
tears. Groups comforted one an
other. Beside a group of men with
streaming eyes was another group OF
those whose tears were dried with the
enthusiasm of going back to fight for
France. Their excited comment was
cheerful and confident.
Just before the vessel cleared her
docks. someone started the Mar
Eeiiia1Sts 0ERAA AAAAt NAhN9 1870
IN the thrilling refrain in a chorus
that swelled out over the docks.
Father Paul Renaud. pastor of the
Church of Our Lady Of Lourdes, was
one of the reservists answering the
call of his country.
He said he expected to go with
the army as chaplain or else In the
hospital corps.
aHe says So" remarked Mayor
Mitchell, who. with Collector of the
Port Dudley Field Malone, was there
to see Father Renaud off, but l be-
lieve he's going over to put a few in
the hospital.
Most affecting of all the farewells
we're those between a mother and
Their and their two young sons. The
Young men stood with their teeth
clenched as they sought to smile their
good-bys. The mother and father
were near. Very little was said. Then
the going ashore signal was sounded.
The father, with the sob of a strong
man suddenly weak, cIasped his boys
in his arms, kissed them and then
bent on his knees before them to beg
pardon for making their farewell so
hard.
Both the mother and father col
lapsed as they left the gangplank to
the dock. BY common consent the
reservists collected in the bow of the
vessel. There as long as those who
their eyes through a veil of
tears could see them, they waved back
some-most of them weeping, but
few of the younger ones so over
with enthusiasm, that they
fairly crowded toward the bow of the
ship as If that brought them nearer
to France.

gether for Life.
We know nothing of the courtship
Of the wild goose, but we feel assured
that it must be a seemly and worthy
affair. Once mated, there is no fur
ther need for VOWS and protestations,
for the birds mate for life. Together
they unite in building the nest, but
the goose alone watches over the eggs,
while day and night the gander
weaves in all directions on water and
on land his trails of watchfulness.
Neither man nor beast may approach
without being fiercely and successfully
assailed, buffeted and routed by re-
lentless attack with beak and wings.
This guardianship is trebled when
the new generation, helpless and de-
pendent, voices its first need for pro-
lection from the perils which encom
pass and beset it. If, perchance, the
small family elects to remain on the
shore, the parents will circle round
and round the group of golden gos-
lings and if danger threatens from any
one direction, the gander, by some
miracle of strategy, will succeed in
placing himself at the one vulnerable
point in the entrenchment.

IN NEW HEBRIDES WILDS
Tastes of Natives Gradually Being
Weaned from Humans to Pigs.

Many Of the natives of these islands
are employed upon the plantations Of
the white men, but the majority live
the lives of primitive beings in the
jungles, where the chiefs rule with
rods of iron for the most part. To
have killed a man, no matter in what
way, is great honor, and gives the
right to wear a special plume of white
and black feathers.
1t is in the recruiting of workers for
the plantations that many abuses
arise. Intoxicating liquor plays part
in this traffic, and where fair means
fail in the securing Of hands, foul
methods are introduced, and fragrant
kidnapping is by no means uncommon.
Describing one worker on the plan
tations named Bourbaki, Doctor Spei-
ser explains that, before the native
enlisted he had been the professional
murderer and provider of human flesh
to his chief.
He was one Of the few natives"
writes the doctor, "who openly admit
ted his liking for human flesh. A
year ago, when visiting his village, he
had ben inconsolable because he had
come a day late for canibal feast"
And on these islands only a few
days sail from Sydney, there are pigmy
races. Volcanoes are there and Won
derful lagoons. Forest-covered noun
tains and green plateaus may be seen,
and there are beach villages whose in
habitants spend greater part of their
time actually in the sea.
Pigs represent a kind of concrete
idea of position among most Of the
natives. These animals, in fact, are
just as carefully nursed as children
Only male pigs are esteemed, how
ever, and are tied all their lives to a
