DECLINES LEGACY
OF SEVERAL MILLION
Swiss Castle Would Be "White
Elephant" For Him.
(By International News servIeel

(By International News Servlce)
Dresden. Oct. 3.-King Frederick
August of saxony has declined an
inheritance valued at several million
dollars. When the will of Rudolph
Lingner, very rich manufacturer
of Dresden who died recently, was
opened it was found that he had left
his beautiful castle Tarasp in the
Swiss caution Grisons to the king.
The castle is on a high mountain
peak in the Engrodin It was built
in the fifteenth century and recon.
structed twelve years ago at great
| expense by Professor Rain of Zurich,
after Lingner bought it, Switzerland
has no finer relic of the Middle
Ages than this imposing ancient
structure.
1t was expected that the king
would gladly accept this magnificent
gift of his dead admirer, but a high
Saxon court official has arrived at
| Chur, the capital of Grisons, TO in
form the authorities that the mon
arch had decided the legacy, because
he would not be able to live up to
! the stipulations of the will under
which he was to reside in the castle
at least two months each year. An
other reason for the rejection of the
castle by the king is that fact that
it's maintenance costs about twenty
thousand dollars annually and that
he would have to pay back taxes
amounting TO sixty thousand dollars.
The castle will now go to Grand
Duke Ernest August of Hesse, who
thas not yet decided whether he will
accept it.

INDIFFERENT JEWS.

Many jcremiads have recently
been penned, great deal of lament
ing and regretting has been in
dulged in over the recent split in the
ranks of American Jewry, the
wranglings and chickering's between
parties and partisans, especially in
connection with the Congress ques-
ton and Zionism. To us the plants
and regrets have all along seemed
very idle We have all along been
of the opinion that these conditions,
disagreable though they may be on
the surface, furnish no occasion for
tl1rencdy and lachrymose outbursts,
but on the contrary, are cause of
qualification and jubilation. For
they are indicative of new life and
energy among our people; they are
signs of renewed purposeful activ-
ity. If life is struggle, struggle
against forces from within and
without, then, conversely, wherever
there is struggle there is life, life
sclf-asscrtive and aggressive.
What is really deplorable is that
in this new life and it's bellicose
manifestations only small portion
of Jewry is taking part and show
ing any interest," The majority, SO
it seems, remain Indifferent. 1t is
the Indifferent Jew-and his name
is lcgion-the Jew who is not con-
ccrned about anything relating to
the welfare of his brethren, who is
not interested in any Jewish prob
lem, and for that matter, in any
other kind of a problem, except
such as relates to his own we'll

We were not surprised to see the
picture of Miss Isabel London,
daughter of Comradc Meyer Lon
don, Congressman from New York,
reproduced in the daily press Nor
were we surprised to find her
ccmely of face, or to read that she
is attractive in other ways. But
we were surprised to be told by the
all-knowing journalistic scribe that
she is very popular in Washington,
since Washington offcialdom is in
a hide-bound conservative caste,
and Miss London is a Jewess and
the daughter of socialist.

mansions and character, and has
been the home of many distin-
guishcd Americans of tie finest
type, men of the type Of Henry
Ford, broad-minded and humani-
tartan, men of fine vision and high
ideals. The spirit of such men gen
orally works as leaven in COM
munity to liberalize and ethicize it.
Then the Jewish community of that
city has as fine an element, as thor
oughly Americanized, cultured and
refined, as any in the country. 1t
is ministered to by two rabbis who
compare favorably with the spirit
ual leaders Of any religious body,
public-spiritcd, tactful and scholarly
men. Yet here is a club evidently
composed of the better CO element
of the citizens that will not admit
Jews as members.
We wonder what the ethical
standards of such a club and it's
members is. Their anti ewish rule
is a deliberate insult to a number
of their fellow citizens, although the
Jews can we'll afford to stay out of
such club. Do they not realize
that thus gratuitously to insult
people, people who have never done
them any harm, who are well-man-
nered and respectable, is an offense
against morality? Is it possible
that athletics, which, judging by the
name, is the main object of such a
club, develops peoples Drawn at the
expense of their brain?

it is he whose presence in any
community should be deplorcd.
How great is the number of
Jews nowadays to whom Judaism,
as religion, is altogether a matter
of indifference, matter that does
not seem to deserve a moments
thought on their part, that is as far
from their minds as is the religion
of the Hindoos or Chineese Nay,
the religion of the last-named may
sometimes arouse their curiosity
because Of the quaintness Of their
ideas and practices. They may oc-
casionally like to hear or read about
them. Not SO with Judaism. 1t
meets from them with that con-
temptuous indifference to which, we
are told, familiarity is always ex-
posed, without there being, in this
case, any familiarity worth men
tionlng.
That such Jews are sometimes
members of Jewish congregations
signifies nothing. Membership and
congregation nowadays only means
the payment of certain amount Of
annual dues and visit to the syna-
gogue on rare occasions, to approve
or disapprove of the rabbits lecture.
1t implies no real, live interest in
Judaism on the part of such mem
Der.
Equally great, if not greater, is
the number of Jews who are indif
fcrent to Judaism as the aggregate
life and activity of the Jews of the
world. They do not know, and do
not care to know, what problems
arc troubling the Jews, whether
there are any problems at all, and
what solutions are proposed. They
do not know, and do not care to
know, what is happening to Jews in
other lands, or what is being done
by them of good or evil conse-
quence. To peruse a Jewish period
ical in order to be informed of the
news from the Jewish world, is, to
them, worse than useless. Much
rather would they read the 1O-cent
short story magazines, or the period
icals that keep them posted on the
latest doings of the heroes and hero
ines of the film world
The presence of such Indifferent
Jews in our communities constitutes
our great weakness, and is to be de-
plored more than all the strife, un-
seemly though it may be, in our
midst.

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
trenches Only a Little Way From
Being lmpregnabIe.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes very clever i'm
provement the Germans have made IN
their barbedwire defcnses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found better support for them He
writes:
After we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
1T, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
1oD was done in wonderfully short
time, thanks to German th0roughness.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-quarters Of an inch
thick, twisted five times In the shape
Of great corkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like cork
puller into a cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten Inches,
formed SIX or seven small loops In q
height of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidly secured with short lengths of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire out Of the eyes,
showed small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick, usncrewed it out Of the
ground, and then, reversing the proc
ess, screwed 1t In again. The advan-
tage of this rod is obvious. When a
shell falls in the midst Of this wire
protection. the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken off short they
always support the wire, and even
after 4 severe bombardment present
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
smithereens by the shells, and when
broken Off they let the wire fall fiat
to the ground"
