The phenomenal rise of the
Rothschilds in the world of finance
has given rise to many myths as
to the causes of their exceptional
position, and the death Of Lord
Rothschild has revived most of
them Notwithstanding the fact that
they have been relegated to the field
of fiction for many years. There is
the story how Mayer Amschel, the
founder of the firm, gained his repu-
tation for integrity by keeping the
gold and jewels of his patron,
the Landgrave Of the Hesse-Cassel,
throughout the Napoleonic wars,
and returning them to him after
the fall of the Corsican. Then there
is the further legend of the same
founder sending his five sons, the
Five Frankfurters," to the chief
capitals of Europe, so as to secure
united action in these centers of fl
nance. There is, further, the myth of
Nathan Rothschild making great
coup after the Battle of Waterloo,
of which he is supposed to have re-
ceived the earliest intelligence, and,
keeping it dark, made huge sums by
"bearing" Consols, and other Sc
curities. All three allegations are
without foundation in fact, as has
been proven by the circumstances of
the case over and over again; and
yet they will probably be continued
to be repeated while the firm re-
mains prominent in the financial
world.
Take the case of the relations of
Mayer Amschel with the Grand
Duke of Hesse-Cassel. He had been
engaged by the Grand Duke to in
vest his money mainly made out
Of the Hessians sent to quell the
American Revolution chiefly in
Danish securities and, in conse-
quence, was appointed court-agent
in 1901. After the Battle of Jena
in 1906 the Grand Duke fled and
doubtless left his financial interests
in the hands of his representative
But it would have been extremely
bad business for Mayer Amschel
to have retained the property of the
Grand Duke in actual coin or bull

SOME ROTHSCHILD MYTHS
BY Joseph Jacobs, Editor, The American Hebrew.

iN
lion when there were SO many op-
portunities for proper investments,
especially as Frankfurt had been
made the financial center of the
anti-Napoleonic forces, when AM
sterdam came under the power of
Napoleon in 1903 Certainly he
could not personally have restored
the coin in the same casks in which
they had been placed, as Marriott al
leges in his interesting, but not too
truthful, memoirs, when the Grand
Duke returned in 1914, for Mayer
had died in 1872. What had really
happened was more prosaic but
much more business-like The
money and securities, amounting to
three million of dollars, had been
sent to Nathan Rothschild in Lon
don, who utilized them in 1903 to
purchase gold from the East India
Company for the use of Lord We'll
lesley in the Peninsular Campaign,
for whom he provided G8O0,000,
making four profits out of the proc
ess, on the sale of the gold to Wei
lington, on its repurchase, on for
warding it to Portugal, and on the
sale of Wellington's paper. For at
this period the chief activities of the
house were as bullion merchants
and not in connection with the stock
exchange at all.
Next comes the legend of the
Five Frankfurters" sent by their
far-seeing father to London, Paris,
Vienna, and Naples, retaining only
one son at home in Frankfurt. This
was indeed the foundation of the
fortunes of the house, but, unfor-
tunately for the exact form of the
legend, Mayer Amschel died in
1872, while the firm Of Rothschild
Freres was not founded in Paris till
1917, and Karl did not go to Naples
till 1921. 1t is true that Nathan
Rothschild had gone to Manchester
as early as 1898 and had settled in
London in 1905, but he himself told
the circumstances of his migration
to Sir Thomas Buxton, which had
nothing to do with any plan of es-
tablishing banking firms in the chief
capitals. Mayer Amschel dealt in
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-01-07

Manchester goods, and being treat
ed badly by the drummer of the firm
with which he dealt, sent his son
Nathan, at a moments notice, to
arrange for better terms. He did so
by buying the raw materials and the
dyes and manufacturing on his own
account, thus making a triple profit
in addition to the one to which
Mayer Amschel had previously been
restricted. Nathan Rothschi1d thus
gained two hundred thousand dol
lars during his stay in Manchester,
and, on moving to London, married
Sir Moses Montefiore's sister-in-law
and, by this means, came in rela-
tons with the heads of the Sephar-
die community, many of whom were
bullion brokers. 1t was Nathan who
arranged for his youngest brother
James going to Paris in 1913, the
year after their fathers death, in
order to purchase gold for the use
of Wellington's army, then on
march towards France. If any one
is to be credited with the plan of the
simultaneous establishment of
branch firms in the chief capitals of
Europe, it is Nathan Rothschild, the
third son, who was clearly the fnan-
cial genius of the family.
AS regards Nathan Rothschild
founding his foundations by con-
cealing the news of the Battle of
Waterloo, this again is a legend
which the facts of the case prove to
be made out of whole cloth. The
defeat of the Old Guard and the adj
vance of the life guards, before
which the issue of the Battle of Wa
terloo could not be determined, took
place at 8 P. NJ, Sunday, June 18th,
1915. A courier, starting at that
time for Ostend, the nearest port,
would have to cross the channel to
Folkstone and ride on to London,
which he could not reach, at earliest,
on the night of Monday the 10Th of
June, long after the stock exchange
was closed. Next morning, Tues
day the 10th instant, the Times and
other London newspapers an
nOunced the great victory, and there
was obviously no opportunity for
any manipulation for the stock ex-
change on the part of Nathan
Rothschild. What he had done was
much more patriotic and reasonable;
it is true that his courier reached
London first, though only a few

IS GRAVITATION "PUSH"
INSTEAD OF 'PULL"?
By Garrett p. ServiSS

The mystery of mysteries in
science is the attraction of gravita-
tion-that very force of nature that
is the most familiar to Us ALI
II seems strange that the most
familiar thing in the world should
be, at the same time. the most in
explicable-b so IL is.
In order tc see clearly wherein
the mystery consists. let us first con-
slider what gravitatiOn appears 10 be.
1t is gravitation that gives the prop
erty of weight TO all bodies. j there
were no gravitatiOn we could float
like thistle-dOwns, and infinitely bet
ter than thistledowns; for they. too,
are finally brought down by gravita-
ton.
1t is gravitation that brings a can
non ball eventually 10 the earth, no
matter how swiftly it may be pro-
iected. The faster it starts the far
Their il will go, but during every sec
ond of its flight it drops the same
distance vertically toward the earth,
whether the speed impaired to it by
the powder is 500 or 5000 feet per
second Gravitation acts on NOV
ing body exactly as we'll as on one
at rest
1t is gravitation that curbs the
motion of the moon and keeps il in
an orbit Of which the earth is the
active focus.
How can there be a pulling effect
among stars i'm empty space?
c. - sa-
ems the earth in its motion around
the sun, preventing it from flying
away into bOundless space. Astron-
omy shows that gravitatiOn acts be-
tween all the planets and al the
stars and controls their motions
with respect to one another.
Now this mysterious force ap-
pears to be an attraction, as if there
were elastic cords connecting all the
bodies in space and tending to draw
them together. But space. as far as
our senses can detect. is empty.
There are no elastic cords and no
physical connections whatever be-
tween astronomical bodies, or be-
tween a flying stone. or cannon ball.
and the earth. How. then, can there
be an attraction In order that a
body may be attracted or drawn,
there must be something 10 draw IT,
Gravitation does the trick. but com
pletely hides from US the mechan-
ism through which IL acts. We can
discover no mechanism at all.
