In top wagon sits little. be-

The "horsie" pulling him along

his whip just as any driver would.

readers attention to, however, is
this: There seems to be some kind
OF affinity between militarism and
anti ewishness. Most of the anti
Jewish prejudice existing in Ger
many was in the army, in the mill
tary and Junker classes. Though the
German law provides for perfect
equality of all citizens, the unwrit
ten law of the army prevented the
Jew from becoming commissioned
officer The tragic Dreyfus affair
illustrated the same fact in France.
The army was the hotbed of anti
Semitism.
This is something for Jewish
people to consider when the question
of militarism comes up. Militar1sm
always means a military aristocracy,
aristocracy means snobbery, and
snobbery and anti. Jewish prejudice
are almost synonymous terms nova
days. That accounts for the eXclu-
sion of Jews from fashionable clubs,
schools, etc. Your snob has to snub
somebody, and the Jew is the east
est victim. He furnishes ready
excuse He is a Jew. And that is
the explanation of Captain lie Roy
Eltinge's vile SANDER. That the
Washington authorities should give
the matter their prompt attention,
and in manner that will discourage
the recurrence of such infamy, goes
without saying.

APPEAL TO JEWS RESENTED.
Leading Men Protest Against Drag
ging Religion Into Politics.


Recent efforts by political support
ers of President Wilson to line up the
Jewish vote for his reelection have
aroused twenty-six prominent Jews Of
New York City to prepare and issue
protest against such mixing of re-
ligion or race and politics. The pro-
test, which was made public Sunday
reads:
We the undersigned earnestly pro-
test against drawing religion into poll
tics. -.
Wide publicity has recently been
given to direct appeal calling upon
the Jews of America" to form a
"Ten Thousand Club and to contrib
ute 81 each to a fund in aid of the

campaign for the reelection of Pres-
dent Wilson. The appeal purports to
recite in detail various official acts
declared to have been favorable to
the Jewish people The sponsors of
this appeal seem to have had some
misgivings as to propriety of their
course, as they later attempted to ex-
plain that the address was prepared
for publication in the Yiddish press
and for the guidance of their readers
Within the past few days a letter
has been circulated which indicates a
continuance Of the effort to dissemin
ate campaign literature containing
like appeal to the Jewish voters.
It is not our purpose to discuss the
candidates Or the principles and
achievements Of any political party.
We differ in our political affiliations;
but we are agreed in condemning any
appeal for votes whether to Jews or
to the members Of any other race Or
creed, as such. We regard such meth
DDS as ali insult to the intelligence of
the voters who are sought to be in
huenced by them, and as tending to
degrade them politically.
We desire to emphasize the fact
that the American Jews regard their
citizenship as a sacred possession and
resent as a reflection upon their man
hood the intimation that they can be
influenced in the exercise of the right
of suffrage by any considerations
which do not apply equally to all Of
their fellow citizens.

MlL1TAR1sM and ANTI JEWISH PREJUDICE
By DR.. S. N. Deinard.

Our Jewish contemporaries are
greatly exercised over the fact that
the virus of anti ewishness is being
inoculatcd into the United States
army. The matter has been brought
to light by Captain Leon Schwartz
Of the First Infantry, National
Guard of Alabama. He has found
that among the military books rec
commended to the army officers for
study, is one entitled Psychology
of War" by Captain lie Roy Eltinge,
18th L. S. Cavalry, instructor in the
Department of Art in the Army
Service School at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas. This book contains the fol-
lowing choice morsel:
"Another large proportion of our
population is made up from the
Jews. 1t is said that there are today
more Jews in Chicago than in Pales-
tine For centuries he has been
without country He doesn't know
what patriotism means. Recruiting
officers find he does not average up
with the other applicants physically.
He has not been a soldier for over
two thousand years. For the same
length of time he has preferred trad
ing to doing work with his hands.
The soldiers lot is hard physical
work. This the Jew despises He
does not have any of the qualities of
a good soldier. Nevertheless, he is
highly religious and very susceptible
to the moral sentiments of his race
He has a tenacity of purpose and
under pressure can patiently endure
much. In a cause which appealed
to his peculiar kind of mind and led
by officers who knew how to get the
best out of him, he might do sur
prisingly we'll as a soldier, but I'M
less we can touch the latent main
springs OF character that twenty-five
hundred years ago made him a sol
dier to be respected, we will find
him of little account.
1t is useless to argue with the
doughty son of Mars, the author Of
the book, to convince him of the stu
pidities and malicious falsehoods in
which the above paragraph abounds
He is simply an ignorant ass, and
does not know what he is braying
