regarded. Several generals of the
French army are Jews, they are rep
resented in the cabinet and prominent
in all the professions. In number the
Jews of France are comparatively
few, totaling only about 100000.
So far as these three countries are
concerned, the allied powers are more
liberal in their attitude than are the
central empires. But with Russia as
a member of the quadruple entente,
the case is rather more than balanced.
1t is for Russian Jews primarily that
to-day'S relief campaign is being wag-
ed. The Russian Jews have probably
suffered more from the war than any
other people, even the Belgians. The
Jews in Russia constitute the great
problem of the Jewish race and the
great problem of the Russian empire.
They constitute one of the major
American questions of the future, for
around them centers the whole immi-
grafton controversy. There are six
million of them, per cent. of the
population of the whole great empire,
and half of all the Jews in the world.
The severity of the Russian atti-
tude toward the Jews has been the
subject of endless attack throughout
Europe and America, but the cars
government continues blithely on its
course. At the beginning of the war;
Jews were given the opportunity of
rising to the rank of commissioned
officer in the Russian army, but this
privilege has since been revoked. The
semiofficial Novoy Vremya of Petro-
grad has stated that the Jews need
expect no change in their status as a
result of the war.
The hostility of the Russian is root
ed far deeper than any racial or reli-
gious prejudice. 1t is an economic hat
red primarily, an offshoot of the same
need for economic self-preservation
that in the last analysis lies back of
the whole war. The Russians pro-
duce poets, philosophers, statesmen
and warriors but they do not produce
businessmen. The Russian genius is
for anything but commerce, where the
ability of the Jew is most striking.
In plain English, were Russia to give
the Jews q free hand, in a few years
they would own the country. They
have something like a free hand in
odessa, and they control over 80 per
cent. OF the business in Russia's prin~
cipal port.

ly do so. Hence the Austrian Jew
is staunch patriot, and he is fight
ing with whole-hearted enthusiasm.
In Germany, anti-Semitic distinc-
tions still persist in the army, where
no Jew can hold a commission, but in
private life there are no restrictions
on the activities of the Hebrews. They
control the finance of the empire, and
in many of the big commercial cities
such as Hamburg, the German New
York, the Jews are the most power
full class. The Austrian Jews are
suffering severely from the war, espe-
cially in the eastern provinces where
actual operations are being carried
on, and a good portion of the funds
raised in America will go to their re-
lief. The German Jews, on the 9TH
er hand, are themselves in a position
to contribute, and have donated large
ly towards relief work in Palestine and
Poland.
on the other side of the trenches
are aligned the two nations where
anti-Semitic prejudice is as nearly non
existent as anywhere on earth-Eng-
land and Italy. There are only about
quarter of million Jews in the
British Isles, but they have held posi-
tions ranging from prime minister
down. The present Lord Chief JUS
tice of England is a Jew. Hebrews
may hold any post in the British army
and the proportion of enlistments
among their number about equals that
of the nation at large. There are COM
paratively few Jews in Italy, and they
are in no way Disseminated against.
The British Jews as a class are pros
porous, and their fund for the relief
of Russian Jews headed by Leopold
de Rothschild, has sent large sums
to the continent.
The mercurial French tempera-
ment seems to shift its Hebrew atti-
tude in most characteristic fashion.
Waves of violent anti-Semitism are
followed by Periods of great liberality.

mated in the Dreyfus case, and the

$500 Civilians to Be

retary Daniels and his advisers de-
cided yesterday to inaugurate a sys-
TEN of civilian naval training similar
in general outline to that on which
military training camps have been
established at Plattsburgh and else
where. 1t is planned to use six battle
ships to take those who present
themselves for training for a months
cruise, beginning about August 10.
The vessels to be utilized as train
ing ships will take on their student
personnel along the Atlantic coast,
probably at New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Norfolk, Portland and
Charleston. 1t is estimated that the
six battleships will make possible the
training of $500 men. A similar pro-
gram, it is expected, will be prepared
for next year for development of the
plan on the Pacific coast.
