Liberal circles, and particularly the
Jewish population of Germany, are
greatly perturbed on account of an
extreme anti-Semitic agitation set on
foot by the Conservative member of
Parliament, Herr Won BONN, of Neu-
Stettin. He has distributed very
large number of copies Of pamph-
let, which contains grave insinua-
tons against and libels on the Ger
man Jews. He urges that the gov
eminent should not be deceived by
the Jews and should also in the flu
ture treat them as elements dan
gerous to the state. Herr Won BONN
is an esteemed member Of the Con-
sentative Parliamentary group and
does not conceal the fact that his
views are shared by his political
friends. The Liberal papers men
ton the surprising fact that this is
the first time since the outbreak of
the war that the Burgfrieden ex-
pressed themselves so strongly, and
they offer the opinion that this agl-
tation will probably be the beginning
of systematic attacks on the Jews.
