THE JEWS IN POLAND, LITH-
UANIA, AND GALICIA.


Germany and Austria-Hungary
have made repeated protestations of
the high moral ideals by which they
are guided in their conduct of the
war. But if they are examined in
the light of the persecution to which
the Jews in Eastern Europe are per-
sistently exposed, these protesta
tons are found to be nothing but a
hollow sham. Not only have the
Central Powers entirely neglected
the interests Of the Jews in the oc-
cupied territories of Poland and
Lithuania but they have actually
encouraged there policy of politi-
cal and economic oppression that
has made life for the Jews intoler-
able; whilst Galician Jewry, which
has provided more than it's quota of
the Austrian army, has been visited
during the last six months by sue
cession of pogroms.
The Central Powers have &C
knowledged the right of self-deter-
mination in the case of the Poles,
the Lithuanians, the Films, and 9TH
er nationalities formerly under Rus
sian rule, but they have deliberately
ignored the equally strong claim of
the Jews to similar right. They
have not only denied them their
rights but overwhelmed them with
wrongs. The economic boycott I'M
der which the Jews in Poland had
to suffer for some years before the
was must have been we'll known to
the German and Austrian Govern
ments. The Jews naturally expected
that these Governments, which al
ways boosted of a superior civiliza-
ton to that of Russia, would put
an end to their trials; but on the
contrary, these have been intensi-
fed.
Anti-Semitic articles appear al
most daily in the newspapers, &C
cusing the Jews of all manner of
crimes and advocating their en-
forced emigration. Lest these ar
ticles should not come under the no
tice of the general population, leaf
lets of venomous character, calling
for attacks upon the Jews, are re-
peated1y circulated. Such leaflets

to grammar school. The object of
these measures is obviously to dis
courage the Jews from aspiring to
an academic or professional career,
but even those who are content with
a humber walk in life are baked.
Jews are barred, for example, from
the courses for masons and master
builders, who will be much in de-
mand for works of restoration, and
Hebrew shop-signs are taxed more
heavily than those in Polish charac-
tiers.
The Jews in Lithuania have Jared
no better than their brethren in Po-
land; in some respects their lot is
even worse. They have been de-
MED the right to send deputies to
the Lithuanian Diet, and even their
request for permission to organize
conference to discuss their position
as one of the nationalities of Lithu-
ania has been ignored. The Jews
seem to be regarded by the German
Government merely as objects of
spoilation. The military authorities
have promulgated a bewildering
mass Of laws and regulations, which
must be complied with on pain Of
severe fines. AS these laws are
printed in German and Lithuanian,
neither of which the Jews under
stand, they have unwittingly brok-
en- them and thus been subjected
to fines. But the payment of those
fines has formed such serious
drain upon the already impoverished
Jews that thousands of families
have been compelled to sell their
clothing and bedding in order to
raise the necessary money. There
upon the German authorities decid-
ed to exploit their distress by invit-
ing them to work in German NUM-
ton factories at 200 marks month.
AS the Jews, loyal to the Russian
cause, refused, they were sent as
suspicious characters to an intern
ment camp, where they were treat
ed so brutality that they at last
yielded to the demands of their con-
querors. They were then deported
to Germany, where they had to
work twelve hours day under the
most CALLING conditions in munition
factories. But of the promised wage
very little indeed comes into the
hands of the Jewish slaves, Half
of the 200 marks is charged for

small towns, where, it might be
thought they would escape the eye
of the higher authorities but also
in the large cities of Warsaw and
LODI, Lemberg and Cracow. These
incendiary leaflets and posters are
written in Polish full of Germanisms
and are printed in type used in Ger
man presses, SO that the conclusion
is obvious. In Warsaw and LODI,
anti ewish posters calling upon the
people to attack the Jews were ex-
hibited in the streets for three days,
yet whilst the Jewish press was not
allowed to refer to them at all, a
Polish paper was permitted to ex-
press approval Of them. This case
of provocation was SO grossly mani
fest that the two Socialist deputies,
Cohn and Noske, put an interpella
ton on the subject in the German
Reichstag to the Chancellor, whose
reply afforded only cold comfort.
1t is significant that even the
German semi-offcial organ, the
"Norddeutsche Allemeine Zeitung,"
admitted that there had been a re-
cent increase of Anti-Semitism in
Poland. But what else could be ex-
pected from the new Government
set up last January by the Central
Powers, seeing that it's Premier was
M. Kuchargschewski, the leader Of
the "Nardovoe Demokrati' Party,
which few years ago organized
the terrible boycott against the
Jews, and which is responsible for
most of the sufferings Of the Jews
in Poland during the last decade?
What solicitude could have been
shown for the Jews in Poland, when
the office of Food Distributor was
given by the German authorities to
a notorious anti-Semite who called
for the extirpation of the Jews. Be-
sides, the Jews are not only debar-
red from any position of authority,
but are harassed with all kinds of
disabilities.
Not single Jew has been APP
pointed to the offices of District
Administrator in the cities of the oc-
cupied zone. Of the 200 Jewish
councillors in the Austrian occupied
territory not one was allowed to at

other hand, various hardships have
been imposed upon the Jews in the

STATE HOSPITAL TO
Use COAL AS FUEL
Impossible to Get Oil as in
Past; Laying in Sup
plies Now.

The Eastern oregon State Hospital
will use coal instead of oil as fuel dur
ing the coming winter. according to
DR.. Wilson ID. McNary. superintend-
ent. In fact. the hospital is using coal
at present and has been since March
!. when the oil contracts. under which
they have been served for quite long
period. expired.
No new contracts were made. Dr.
McNary said. for the oil companies
cannot guarantee delivery, as the gov
ernment has requisioned all oil tank
ers. Even IL this were not so. the In
crease in price would make oil prohi-
bltive, for the present rate is more
than double that OF the old contracts,
which made a barrel OF oil cost about
$1.47 laid down in Pendleton.
Between 1900 and 1000 tons OF coal
will be put in at the hospital before
winter. Large quantities are already
being bought, and the superintendent
states that before November /. they
will have enough stored TO last six or
seven months. The supply is being
purchased from the Rock Springs d.s-
trict.
A hint of the immense amount of
fuel necessary TO keep the institution
going during n season is given In the
fact that between eight and nine tors
or coal are burned each day, during
the cold weather.
