JEWS AND PROFITEERING IN
HUNGARY.

Apropos of the recent debate on
anti-semitism in the Hungarian
Parliament, the more liberal Hun
garian papers protest strongly
against the attempt which is being
made in certain influential quarters
in that country to fasten the whole
of the odium of profiteering on the
Jews. Thus the Magyar Hirlap says
that profteering and corruption
might be stopped without dragging
in religion at all, In every country
mismanagement has caused much
bitterness, to allay which the author
tiles generally. found scapegoat.
Anti-semitism had been imported
from Austria, and some Hungarian
politicians were trying to make cap
ital out of it. The Vilag calls anti
semitism the latent disease of Hun
garian public life. It blames Count
Tisza, who in his speech ostensibly
defended the Jews, for tacitly adj
hitting that profteering was SIC
officially Jewish vice. In reality it
was the vice Of a certain class to
which Tisza himself b>elonged, and
the Jews suffered from proiiteering
10 less than the rest Of the popula-
ton.

HARVARD PRESIDENT
GREETS HEBREW
UNIVERSITY.

President A. Lawrence Lowell, of
Harvard University has asked Hon.
Julian w. Mack, President of the
Zionist Organization of America, to
convey his congratulations to DR..
Chain Weitzman on the laying of
the cornerstones of the Hebrew
University Of Jerusalem:
DR.. Lowell writes:
In the pressure of work, caused
by the need of almost wholly reor-
ganizing college instruction to COM
ply with the desire of the Government
to establish the S. A. T. c., your
letter has been unfortunately post
poned.
I should be very glad if you would
transmit to DR.. Chain Weitzman
my congratulations on the laying Of
the cornerstone of the Hebrew Uni
versity at Jerusalem, with the ex-
preston of the hope that the Uni
versity may develop to be great
light in a portion of the world dark
ened by the rule of the Turk.

EDUCATION IN PALESTINE.

Considerable progress has been
made in the development of the edu-
cational system in Palestine since
the Zionist Commission took the
matter in hand with the concurrence
of the British authorities, and the
need for teachers is becoming acute.
Applications are being invited by
the Zionist Organization in London
from certified and experienced male
teachers possessing thorough
knowledge of English and able to
teach elementary school subjects
in Hebrew for service in Palestine.
Before the war the Jews of England,
France and Germany all supported
schools in Palestine. Those of the
German organization were taken
over recently by the British author
tiles, who placed them in charge
of the Zionist Commission. The
fact that Hebrew is adopted as
medium of instruction in these ele-
mentary schools is reminder Of the
struggles which ragged until the out
break of war around the German at
tempt to substitute German for He
brew as the language of instruction
in the schools of Palestine. This
attempt was defeated through the
efforts Of Palestinian Jewry with
the support of Zionists of all parts
of the world.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
JEWS IN GALICIA.
October II, 1918.

The Lemberger Tageblatt re-
Gently published a report from
Galician correspondent complaining
of the growth of anti-Semitism in
the district, and of the differential
treatment melted out to Jews and
non-Jews. Even in the distribution
Of fuel and other rationed articles
a Jew has little chance of obtain
ing his share. The writer states
that in his own town, Grodek Yage
lonski, he has seen nom ews hand
in their coal cards and obtain their
supplies while he, "being a Jew, al
though soldier in uniform, fresh
from the front, was told several
times to call later as there was
none''. That went on for several
days. "Once", he adds, "when I
tried a little more definitely to assert
my right, the cashier simply threw
me out of the office. I was no
exception; every Jew is treated thus
who endeavors to obtain coal or
similar things from the Municipal
Distribution Offices" To such an
extent has the anti-Semitic agita-
ton developed under Austrian aus
pices in Galicia that the Wiener
Morgenzeitung, while pointing out
that the Jewish. people alone of all
the races in the monarchy "has never
asked anything of the State" and
mot even in time of war has waver-
ed in it's loyalty, appeals to the
Government mot to make the most
loyal Jewish elements bitter enemies
of the State.

HUMBLED HUNS

A British Port.-( Correspondence
of the Associated Press German
prisoners captured in the recent fight
ing, who have arrived here, show a
surprising depreciation Of the once
coveted Iron Cross. One of them
traded his decoration for a cigarette
and an American officer who accom-
panied the captives from France said
several of them spoke slightingly of
the war token bestowed upon them by
Emperor William.
A marked change in the demeanor
of the new prisoners was also notice
able. Instead of the arrogant and al
msot insolent manner which charac-
terized their predecessors, when the
Germans were sweeping everything
before them, the latest contingent
seems humble and crestfallen AL
most every officer and one in ten of
the men wore the ribbon of the Iron
Cross.
: The tobacco famine which exists
among the prisoners makes it easy
for American soldiers to collect SOU
venirs. The Germans will part with
almost any of their belongings for a
package of cigarettes.
American troops are leaving here
for France daily with bands playing
and flags flying.
