THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

the husband and his inability to
care for his family, Judge Wad-
hams made the following statement:
"Despite the health of the hus
band, he goes on becoming the father
of children who have very little
chance under the conditions to be
anything else but tubercular, and,
themselves growing up, to repeat
the process with society. There is
no law against that.
"But we have not only no birth
regulation in such cases, but if in
formation is given with respect to
birth regulation people are brought
to the bar of justice for it. There
is a law they violate"
Judge Wadhams pointed out that
many nations of Europe had adopted
birth regulation with seemingly ex-
cellent results. He queried whether
Americans had taken as common
sense view of the subject as we
might.

Antisemitism in German Census
Plan.

The resolution adopted by COM
mittee of the German Reichstag that
the Government take a census of
all persons connected with the So
called war corporations" called
forth strong protests in all the news
papers,. many of them condemning
it as an antisemitic ruse. These
Corporations" are engaged in pro-
viding food and other necessary ar
ticles for the people during the war
and the charge is made that many
Jews who are connected with them
are only nominally SO connected in
order to evade military service. The
Government opposed the resolution,
believing that the impression will
be an unfavorable one, since the
work accomplished by these corpora
tons is as important and as neces-
sary as the work done by the soldiers
in the trenches. The "Berliner
Tageblatt" says that if a census Of
Jews employed in these corporations
is taken, there should also be taken
census of Jews fighting at the var
ious battle fronts. Some of the
papers assert that such census will
really show the large number of
Jews fighting for the fatherland and
that the charge against them that
they wish to evade military obliga-
ton is false.

In the Kiev military court the
case of twenty-one peasants accused
of anti Jewish riots was tried recent
ly. The riot took place in the vii
lage of Visshi Tashlik, government
of Poldolia, on August rs, 1915, be-
cause of the refusal of dealer to
give change of three-rouble note.
Rumors were spread that the Jewish
dealers are hiding silver money and
refused to accept paper money. The
mob demolished the stores and car
ried off the goods. The court SEN
fenced one defendant to one year
imprisonment; one to six months;
six to four months, and the rest

The Jewish Board of Deputies
ratified at its last meeting the action
of the Conjoint Committee which
includes resolution that among the
demands which Jews should lay be-
fore the future peace Congress shall
be the demand for equal rights and
municipal liberties for the Jews of
Palestine. The committee assures
the board in it's report that many
other concessions will be obtained
for the Jews of Palestine if the Zion
lists will not demand their rights
so loudly and not insist too vehe-
mently on the Jewish nationality
problem. A resolution placed be-
fore the same meeting to the effect
that the Board demand the imme

Jews who Join the British Army was
tabled because the Board found itself
unable to push this matter at pres

An important committee of non
Jews has been formed in Italy for
the purpose of cultivating in Europe
a demand for the emancipation of
Jews in all lands after the war is
over. The committee has among
it's members deputies, professors,
lawyers and journalists, including
Professor Pietro Bonfanit and Sig
nor Farra, president of the Advo-
Gates Union. The committee has
published manifesto explaining its
purpose and calling upon non-Jews
to strengthen its hands and to pro-
pagate it's object. The committee
at Florence which is working on be-
half of the oppressed Jews has also
issued a circular urging Italy to
raise it's voice in favor of the Jews.

Immediate Action to Be Taken

Returning from the conference in
Washington on infantile paralysis, the
State Health Commissioner yesterday

ties on the northern border to meet
him Tuesday in Richmond for imme-
date action on measures to prevent
the possible spread of infantile paraly

Pending the conference Tuesday Of
acers of the State Board Of Health
are at work on a practicable plan of
keeping from Virginia persons who
have been exposed 90 infantile par
alysis. In doing this. the board will
ask the cooperation OF the corpora
ton commission and of the railroads
to prevent the travel OF children from
infected areas who cannot produce sat-
istactory certificates that they have
will also be discussed for guarding
the various automobile routes by
which exposed persons might be
brought into the state.
Introduce Partial Quarantine.
In view OF the prevailing doubt as
to the method by which infantile par
alysis Ia carried. the State health au-
thortties expect to introduce n system
OF partial quarantine for all children
who come into the State from infected
areas. even though they produce cer-
tifcates showing they have not been
exposed TO the disease. special reg

to this effect will probably be issued
