Berlin to Require L. S. Guar
antee to Free TeutOn
Sailors Now Here.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-News to-day
that Ambassador Gerard, American
consuls. American sailors brought in on
the prize ship Yarrowdale and American
residents in Germany were being de-
tained until assurances reach Berlin as
storf and the German consuls and the
treatment accorded to German interests
here came as a shock and surprise to
President Wilson and State Department
officials.
The German action is regarded as en-
tirely unwarranted. 1t looms as a dis
tinct threat based on the presumption
that the United States is not adhering
TO the rules OF international courtesy
and international law. In Congress it
aroused Indignation, some criticisins 1t
as return to medievalism.
Reports from United States Ambassa-
dor willard in Madrid yesterday that he
had heard from Mr.. Gerard at Bern
brought sigh of relief, because 1t meant
that the Ambassador and presumably
the whole Ambassadorial party had been
permitted to leave Germany. But n
subsequent despatch from Mr.. Willard
reached the State Department to-day
saying his message concerning Mr..
Gerard was based on telegram from
him dated Bern. but which should have
been dated Berlin via Bern" Mean
while further advices had come showing
the difficulties which confront the Am
bassador in Berlin.

Fear Stories OF Hardship.

There is fear that Mr.. Gerard may
have some embarrassing experiences
before he leaves the country. due to the
stringent regulations which the lmper al
Government is following concerning per-
sons permitted to depart.
Indications are that some of .he
Americans desiring to leave will be held
Tor two weeks or more on the ground
that they are likely to divulge secrets
concerning conditions in Germany. II
Is known that Germany Is particularly
adverse to having the Entente countries
obtain true picture OF the distress and
difficulties which are now confronting
the civil population. For that reason
some effort may be made, it is explained
TO ohtain promises or guarantees II
possible from departing Americans that
they will not discuss conditions in the
fathcrland.

ment from Ambassador Gerard was.Nt ed

admonition. They are enjoined to
remember the Jewish prestige and to
refrain from acts which may rebound
to the discredit of Our people.
Unfortunately, the "emancipated'

the Russian anti-conscriptionists--is
causing no little embarrassment, as is
evidenced by the cases of CONSTRUCTION"

Philadelphia, Sept. Announce
ment was made today by physicians
CT the Jewish hospital that the
germ of infantile paralysis has been
discovered and isolated.
Working day and night for year
in the attempt to isolate the germ
of the disease that last year killed
5000 children in the United States,
three Philadelphia physicians, DR..
Myer Soils Cohen, specialist in chill
dren's diseases; Professor John A.
Kolmer of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and the poly
clinic college, and DR.. George A.
Hest, have made public the results
of their investigation.
This is the second time the in
fantile paralysis germ has been
found and isolated, the Rockefeller
institute in New York being the
first to do so, in 1913. The institute
acknowledged today the work of
discovery of the germ in the local
medical institution marked a con-
siderable advance over it's own re-
search. .

THE LIONS OF JUDAH
Patterson Ganipon Officer

on,-Within the space of
very few weeks the Mogen Dovid will
be no longer the exclusive monopoly
of the Jewish chaplains to the forces.
For the Jewish Regiment is in course
of formation, and it has been decided
that no more appropriate badge could
have been chosen than the shield of
David, with the Lion of Judah in the
center A blue and white band on the
Khaki cap, will further distinguish
those of our brothers DESTROYS of emit
lating the proves of the Maccabees
and the veterans who fought for Po-
lands freedom in the long ago.
There has been a great deal of non
sensical academic quibbling as to the
significance of the Shield of David as
an essentially Jewish symbol, and now
that the Jewish regiment has emerged
from the suggestion stage there are
some who are decidedly taken aback
at the rapidity with which events have
been moving. :
Making for Sholom. +,
1t should be remembered that the
decision has solved the outstanding
difficulty of enlisting Our Russian
brothers in the British army. 1t is
making for camavdevie, for Sholom,
and there are signs: that the idea is
going to work well.
So far as can be at present gathered,
the command of the Jewish unit will
be in the hands of Col. ]. H. Patter-
son, D. S: o., whose book with the
Zionists in Gallipoli'' l had the plea
sure of reviewing in these columns
some months ago. The gallant soldier,
it will be recalled, commanded the
Zion Mule Corps at Gallipoli, and
spoke in generous terms of these
sturdy men from Alexandria, whose
conduct under fire commanded wide
spread admiration. No better choice
could have been decided upon, remem-
bering the Colonies Jewish SYM

Naturally enough, the dietary ar
rangements will be such as will appeal
to the most orthodox, and | hear that
steps have been taken to enlist the
services of Jewish medical men and
nurses, and otherwise maintain, an es-
sentially Jewish atmosphere.
Lord Rothschild is president of a
committee which is cooperating with
the War Office in the formation of
the regiment, and there seems strong
desire though many of us are of the
opinion that the wish is father to the
thought these Jewish fighting
men shall serve in Palestine A stir
ring prospect for the Russian Jew with
.nationalistic leanings.
There are indications that a num-
Der of aristocratic young men of Our
community will, of their own accord,
be transferred to oficerships in the
Jewish unit, and that Lord Roseberry's
son, the Hon. Neil Primrose, will serve
in this capacity.

Added to this will be the $4,000 Rus
sian co-religionists eligible for mill

no larger number than three or four
thousand will elect to return to their
native land.
1t is rather curious to observe that
numbers of men liable to serve in the
Jewish unit have shown a tendency
to grumble at the knowledge that es-
sentially British regiments are now
closed to them. Far from there be-
ing any desire to exclude these men
on religious or other grounds, it is
quite obvious that other units having
been brought to full strength, there
is no other alternative than to en-
courage their enlistment in the Jew
ish battalion. Again, it is made per-
fectly clear that this will be as much
British unit as any other In fact,

sympathies lie with Our people and
who are taking steps to enlist in this

ton Of boats to replace the Hamakua
and Maui.
The prices named by owners who

they are worth" said the president
"One firm asks us s350y00o for .

The Inter-Island needs another
steamer urgently now, as with the Ha'

steel steamer Maui wrecked few
months ago, 1t has no boat In reserve.
The Kilauea used to be Q reserve boat,
but she now has to be worked every
