ANTLIEWlSH RIOTS IN AN ENGLISH TOWN
o Lee andIo

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
A most serious outbreak of out
rage against the Jewish population
occurred on Sunday evening, June
3. It is claimed to have arisen ap-
parently out of the so-called feud
between Christian and Jewish
youths in certain quarters of the
town, which has led to so many
assault cases here lately.
Sunday nights outbreak was
evidently organized, for, by what
appeared to be a pre-concerted ar
rangement, a crowd of we'll over
one thousand youths and men, with
sprinkling of women, assembled
late in the evening on large piece
of vacant ground off Bridge street.
From here they rushed away in
different directions, smashing the
windows of shops occupied in all
cases by Jews, scattering the con-
tents of the windows into the
street, and carrying some of it
away. The principal damage was
done to shops in the lower part Of
Bridge street. Here every Jewish
shop-window was smashed, and the
street was Uttered with fragments
of glass and the damaged rem
nants of the goods which had been
shown. Shop windows were also
broken in Macauly street, Argyll
road, Green road and York road.
The windows of two Diapers shops,
one large corner shop in York
road, had been completely cleared
of what they contained, and in one
case alone the damage was put at
we'll over 100 pounds. In no case
was shop occupied by a non-Jew
molested. A walk round the dis
trict in the early hours of the
morning showed knots of Jews
standing at street corners anxious
ly inquiring of the police if it was
safe yet to go to bed. Piles of
broken plate glass lay in the gut
tiers, and the number of lighted
bedroom windows showed the dis
turbed state to which the neigh
borhood has been reduced. None
of the ringleaders of the affair
seem to have been arrested.
The outrages were still continu-
ing throughout Monday, many of
the Jewish business houses being

MMMMMM%MMMMMMMMMMM OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
attacked by n1obs. In spite of the
applications to the police authori-
ties for protection, the situation
continues desperately ominous.
From the reports already to hand
about fifteen casualties have been
reported, amongst them being
Driver Rosenbloom, R. F. A. Zone
of four brothers on active service),
who is home on sick leave. On go
ing to the rescue of Jewish
woman who was attacked by the
mob, his head was split open. Seen
today, his head was swathed in
bandages. He complained bitterly
that although he handed his as
sailant over to the police, they re-
fused either to arrest him or take
his name. The looting of the Jew.
ish shops in Bridge street was wit
messed by a crowd of about two
thousand onlookers, who not only
made no attempt to stop the out
RACES, but attacked any Jew who
endeavored to interfere with the
mob that were carrying away par
cells Of provisions and goods from
the wrecked premises.
Some Suggested Causes of the
Trouble.
1t is difficult (says the York.
shire Post) to trace the origin of
the hooligan outbreak which &C.
Cured in Leeds on Sunday night
and Monday night. AS is usual in
all such cases, there are all sorts of
rumors which, of course, grow with
every repetition. It is an undoubt-
ed fact that within the last week
or two a feud has arisen between
sections Of the Jewish and Ger+i'e
population of the city, especially
among the younger folk. Indeed,
it is stated in some quarters that
in it's inception the "battle" was
simply a children's affair. Young
sters quarrelled their big brothers
and sisters interviewed; the moth
ers came upon the scene, and what
was originally a more or less harm
less juvenile encounter developed
into a serious business that has led
to the smashing of hundreds of
windows of shops and houses occu-
pied by Hebrews, the interposition
of the police and the appearance of
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-07-06

a number OF the participatOrs in
the scene at the Police Court.
Another version is that the pres
ence in the streets of numerous
Jews in multi has provoked the ire
of people who without, of course,
knowing the circumstances-think
that too many Of them have OBJ
tanned exemptions from military
service while their own brothers
and pals are undergoing all the
hardships and risks of life at the
front, or preparing to take their
part in the war. To this allegation
leading member of the Hebrew
community replies that there is
hardly a Jewish house in Leeds
that has not contributed one or
more members of the family to the
Army, that if statistics could be
uotained it would be found that the
Jaws of Leeds have sent quite as
large a proportion of men to the
forces, having regard to the popu-
lation, as any other denomination
probably a larger proportion
and that many of the people whose
premises have been attacked have
husbands, sons, and brothers fight
ing at the front.
But the ''explanation" of the
feud that seems to have found the
readiest credence is based on the
statement that wounded and Brit
ish soldiers have been molested,
and even maltreated, by Jews. The
story varies, but a version is that
some young Jews, resenting
taunt that they were not in uni
form, took the crutches from a
couple of men in hospital blue, and
belaboured them to such an extent
that, so the tale went yesterday,
one Of the soldiers had died yester-
day at the General Infrmary, and
that his companion was likely to
meet similar fate. This allega-
ton is vigorously denied by the
members of the Hebrew commune
ity.

NEW PEACE MOVES.

Wilson May Make New Peace
Move Soon"
This headline over an item of the
days news is perhaps as cOmprehen-
sive of the present war situation and
it's Immediate probabilities as so
many words could make it,
The president has been making
new peace moves almost every day
for Just about four months. The sue
cessful floating of the first Liberty
Loan of $2,O00,000,00O was dis
tinctly new peace move. The regis
tration of 100000 men and the
present selection from the first draft
are still newer peace moves. The
increase of the regular army and ma
tional guard to nearly l,OOO,OOO is
"a peace move.
The seizure and outfitting of the
German ships, the landing of mill
tary forces in France, the sea patrols,
the emergency ship construction, the
mobilization of railroad and other
great industries for war, the $780,
0OO,O 900 devoted to vast aeroplane
cons Observation-Disclosures are all great
peace moves initiated and directed
by the president and within a few
weeks. And the next new peace
move is likely to end the war inter
fering with the full force of the ship
building program.
This is a speed record of executive
action in war unparalleled in our own
or any other country And it is all
for peace, but an enduring peace and
not the sham peace for which the
German military Oligarchy strives

Little Mother.

Kiss him, little mother,
AS he lies there chuckling sweet,
With his lips of baby beauty,
And his two pink kicking feet;
With his little hands thrown. wildly
Through the air to catch at things
He knows not Of forever
While the world around him sings.
Kiss him, little mother,
AS he looks up through those eyes
That are just as if they'd fallen
From the soft deeps of the skies.
Press your lips upon his cheeks, dear,
And then fold him to your breast
He will not always be happy,
With a place like that to rest.
Kiss him, little mother,
And be glad for all his JOY.
He will not be always baby,
He will not be always boy.
Some far morning amid the cleaning
OF the ranks like those that now
March to WARMTH high souls
dreaming
He will go with chastened brow.
Kiss him, little mother,
AS he COOS with that sweet note
That is like a voice of magic
Turned to wonder in the throat
Just the littlest bit of baby.
Just the softest, sweetest thing.
And the far years out there waiting,
And you know not what they IL BRING.
