A TRAVESTY OF
AMERICANISM

An address delivered apparently
to a Christian audience by Rabbi
H. H. Mayer of Kansas City ends
with these brilliant statements:
II am glad the British have wrest-
ed Palestine from the bloody hand
of the Turk. believe democracy
will be permitted to establish itself
there and that is cause for gratifca-
ton. Outside of that I have no in
terest in the politics of Palestine, or
Timbuctoo, or any other place ex-
cept the United States" ..
1t was evidently meant to con
vey to the audience the impression
of the speakers pure, unadu1terated,
one hundred per cent Americanism.
And yet the real Americans in that
audience, the intelligent, broad
minded Americans, must have
smiled sad smile. Is that the
Americanism of Wilson, and the
other great leaders of our democ-
racy? Our entry in this war, and

THE POLISH GOVERNMENT
AND THE JEWS.

The "Judische Rundschau" of
Berlin, commenting upon the de-
cision of the Polish Government to
grant certificates of citizenship only
to those who acknowledge them
selves to be Poles, states that this
decision is virtually a declaration
of war of destruction against Pol
ish Jews, and that the inevitable re-
suit of it will be the enforced emf
grafton of Jews from Poland which
appears to be exactly what the Pol
ish Government desires to bring
about.

CZECH-SLOVAKS AND JEWS.

CZECf1-SLOVA kS AMI JEWO.
The Czech Slovaks, one Of the
conquered and oppressed national
tiles of the Hapsburg Empire, have
at last issued their Declaration of
/ Independence. Z, With the: approval;
endorsement and support of the Al
! lied and the~American governments
they declare themselves entirely in
dependent of ustria-Hungary, re-
fusing even to be member of
federalized Austria-Hungarian state
>as recently proposed by Emperor
Karl.
Thus after three hundred years of
Hapsburg enslavement, the Czech
Slovaks, who emerged as national
entity in the seventh century, and
for about thousand years had as
checkered a national career as their
kindred, the Poles, are once more
taking their place in the sister
hood of nations: Already on jan
uary 6 of this year the Czech depu-
ties assembled in Prague, made
similar declaration of their nation
al independence to the world. A
provisional government was accord
ingly established in Paris with

the meantime Czech-Slovak armies
have been fighting with and for the
Allies in Russia and on the West
ern front.
The total Czech-Slovak popula-
ton in the world cannot possibly
exceed eight millions, the bulk of
which is in Bohemia, with large
colonies in other parts of Austria-
Hungary and in the United States.
They are an Intellectually gifted
race, and have their representative
in every branch of modern scholar
ship. In the course of their history,
however, they have furnished only
two illustrious names to the world:
the religious reformer Huss, and the
educator Comenius. There can be
no doubt that if the nation had had
! freer scope for the development of
it's genius in the last three centuries,
/ if it's national aspirations had not
been constantly depressed by the
Hapsburg iron hand, it would have
made as rich contributions to the
worlds progress as any of the lead
ing nations of the world. But what
ever its achievements have been, it
has retained it's national conscious
ness, its national hopes and ambi-
tons, and now at the opportune mo-
ment, it steps into the world arena
as a free nation receiving the adj
miration and the willing support of
all liberty loving people. So far we
have not heard a single Czech rails
ing his voice in protest against this
national REGENERATION of his people,
its national plan and program. No
priest of a Bohemian church in
America has come out with any
warning, Gliding, remonstrance, or
threat to his congregation to dis
courage them from asserting their
peoples national claims.
Now consider the case of us Jews.
We were an ancient people when
the Czech-S1ovak nation was yet un-
born. Not three hundred, but two
thousand years have seen us de-
prived of a normal national exist
ence, and the victims of all manner
of oppression, in spite of all of which
we have retained our national con-
seriousness and hopes and aspirations
as wildly and vigorously as have
the Czechs and Poles. What our
national genius has contributed to
