jews IN GALlCIA
under TEU7ON LASH
Forced to Endure Suffering and
Death by Hun Prosecutors

Washington, Nov. 1.-DurinG the
last six months. the Jews of Galicia
have been visited by a succession of
prosecutions, In which Jewish lives
and Jewish property have been sacri-
feed in the most wanton manner. In
fact. the treatment to which the Jews
of Poland, I4ithuania, and Galfcia have
been systematically subjected of late
forms a singular commentary on the
claim of the Central Powers that they
are fighting a war of self-defense.
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 these protestations are ex-
amined in the light of the prosecutions
to which the Jews of eastern Europe
have been exposed, they appear
rather inane.
Not only have the Central Powers
entirely neglected the interests of the
Jews in the occupied territories of
| Poland and Lithuania, but they have
| actually encouraged there policy Of
| political and economic oppression, de-
| liberately ignoring every claim of the
| Jews. And they have not merely
denied their rights; they have over
| whelmed them with wrongs.
Faith i'm Central Powers DESTROYED.
For some years before the war the
| Jews in Poland had been suffering
| under an economic boycott. After the
| withdrawal of Russia from the war
| the Jews naturally wondered whether
| Germany and Austria, which had al
| ways laid claim to a superior ciyiliza-
IN hot nf cyio
| end TO their trials On the contrary,
! their sufferings have been even more
! intense.
Anti-Jewish propag anda has been
| in constant circulation. Articles ap-
| pear almost daily in the newspapers
| accusing the Jews of all sorts of
| crimes and advocating enforced emil
| grafton. In order to insure still wider
circulation for this propaganda, leaf
! let's are repeatedly distributed by I'M
! known agencies calling for attacks
upon the Jews. These leaflets have
! been sent out, not only in small
towns where it might appear that they
| had escaped the eyes of the govern
| mental authorities, but also in the
| largo cities of Warsaw, Lemberg and
! Cracow. These incendiary leaflets
| and posters are written in Polish Gull
| of Germanisms) and are printed in
| type used in German presses, SO that
the conclusion Is obvious.
In Warsaw and Lodz anti-JeWish
! posters calling upon the people to at
tack the Jews were exhibited in the
! streets for three days. Although the
Jewish press was not allowed to re-
fer to them at all a German-run Polish
| paper was permitted by the censorship
to express it's approval of them This
| case of unfairness on the part Of the
government was SO obvious that the
! two socialist deputies Cohn and NosI1e
| entered a protest on the subject in the
! German Reichstag to the chancellor,
but without receiving any satisfac-

deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung admitted
last March that there had been
recent increase in anti-Semltlsm in
Poland Little else could have been
expected from the new government
set up last January by the central
Powers.
Not single Jew has been appointed
to the office Of district administrator
in the cities of the occupied zone.
OF the 200 Jewish councillors in the
Austrian occupied territory, not a
single one was allowed to attend as
| delegate the conference of the union
| of municipalities. Furthermore vari-
| GUS hardships have been imposed on
| the Jews in the nature of education
! aud in business. For example, the
Warsaw municipal council has for
| hidden them to collect money for the
| upkeep of their schools Jewish stu
/ dents in Warsaw are not allowed to
| form their own unions and are strictly
! excluded from the Polsh orGanlZa-
| tions throughout the province Of
| Lublin no Jew Is admitted to a gram

Lithuanian Jews Arc Fined.
The Jews in Lithuania have Jared
no better than those IN Poland. They
have been denied the right TO send
| deputies to the Lithuanian Diet. Even
their request for permission to Or

formed such a serious drain upon the
| already impoverished Jews that thou

to sell their clothing and bedding in
order to raise the necessary money
The distress of the Lithuanian

sometimes on stone walls and in
bitches; there will be running,
skipping, hopping, whistling and
singing, games of follow master"
racing, stone throwing and stick
throwing into ponds and trees, and
tree-climbing.
That the walks and talks are
great mental stimulus is readily
apparent, when one reflects for a
moment upon the opportunities for
asking and answering questions that
seldom arise in the schoolroom; the
opportunities to observe public work
that is going on away from one
immediate neighborhood; the road
building, the digging of trenches
and laying Of mains, the setting and
taking down OF telegraph poles, the
operation of the switch towers near
the railroad bridge, the regulation OF
traffic, the construction of build
ings. There is a deepening Of sense
impressions; there is training in the
correct use of good English in con-
yersations and storytelling by the
Waysidc; there is reading and dra-
matization in the woods and in the
shady hooks and on the rocky
heights, that aid so much in ere
ating a congenial atmosphere for
the play Of the imagination, and
last but not lcast-perhaps the most
valuable featurc-therc is a tremcn-
dous field for developing a knowl-
cdg of natures workshop.
Perhaps some concrete illustra-
tions will serve to good purpose:
Sense Training.
Stand still Il few moments with
eyes shut; listen intcntly, then tell
what was heard.
Look lutently in all directions,
close eyes, and tell what was seen.
Name objects seeds, flowers,
twigs, etc. by touch alone with eyes
shut.
Point to every birds nest observed
on the walk.
Find all the maple trees along
one road. BY taking one tree at
a time YOU will soon be surprised
to discover how many trees you
and the children can name.
These walks will also contribute
to spiritual growth in no small
measure. They will afford a basis
OF companionship that with the old
er years is not readily outgrown,
and many fond memories will clus-
ter around these little trips. Per
haps the same walks, though less
frequent in the adolescent years
may afford opportunity for the con
! idenccs, the ideals and ambitions
that are so often poured into some
one clse's ears because the mother
seems so busy in the home. At any
rate, YOU will not stop the walks and
talks when the kindergarten age has
passed. You will keep it up from
year to year, and each year will
make them seem more worth while
You will have to increase your
| knowledge of natures story as the
years so by, but with your interest
to spur you on, and the many
books on the library shelves that
are now ready to help you, this
ought not to be difficult nor burden

MR.. coLBY's PRACTICAL VIEW.

Bernard N. Bakers opinion of cambridge
Colby-that he is a practical man qualified to
give good service member of the shipping
board-seems to have been confirmed by what
Mr.. Colby said before the senate committee on
agriculture. The committee was giving a hear
ing on the pending prohibition amendment to
the emergency agriculture bill. Mr.. Colby pro-
tested against absolute prohibition and said if
beer were taken from the workmen the output
of American shipyards would be reduced TWEEN
live per cent It seems that the shipbulders
see no harm in drinking beer and think it is es-
sential Mr.. Colby, who appeared at the re-
quest of Chairman Hurley, Of the shipping
board, said in reply to prohibition members of
the committee that he was not present to discuss
the merits of prohibition, but to express the
opinions Of men who are in touch with the ship
building situation. He neither affirmed nor
denied when the question concerning the viz
tues of prohibition was raised, but he did say:
Lets not attempt to reform men IS appetites.
Let's fight now. It's not teetotalers but fighters
we want now.'' A sane view and one that is as
sound as it is practical.

WALL STREET TRIES FARMING.

Farmers have not looked to Wall street for
purely benefcent treatment In fact the Ameri-
can farmer of the past generation had and e1-
pressed opinions far from complimentary to
Wall street and in many instances had personal
experience to serve as something of excuse
for his prejudice. But things are chang
ing If the farmers have not been expert in
Wall streets operations, neither has Wall
street been trained to aptitude IN handling the
farmers brand of goods Yet Wall street is
going to experiment at raising wheat to the ex-
tent OF two million dollars capital. On the In
dian lands in Montana and Wyoming a vast
wheat growing project, under the manage
nnent of practical northwest wheat farmer, is

nanciers are to furnish the money Aside
from the wheat which will be raised, the ex-
pertinent Is promising of great things for
american farming It will demonstrate what
farming will become when it is transformed
into the manner and methods of big business

only lacks the cooperative machinery Mod

most attractive business in the world. After
all, Wall street may do its bit on heading PEG

BEGINNING OF THE END.

It seems entirely safe to say that the central
empires have passed the peak of their man pow
er, morale and everything else which contrib
utes to their effective prosecution of the war.
Both in France and in Italy their fercest at
tacks of the last few days have been checked or
thrown back with heavy losses. They are no
longer match for the allies. The day when
their resistless war machine rolled forward re-
lentlessly crushing weaker armies, which de-
Tended their native lands, remorseless IN their
cruelty to the women and children who fell into
their clutches and exulting ferociously in their
might-that day has gone. The free men of
the free nations are getting them in hand; and
no other nations than the central powers ever
faced defeat by enemies more justly enraged
by endless barbarites. The mills of the gods
grind slowly, but they are going to grind Teu-
tonism to a powder in the months that lie
ahead.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: The SEN
ate committee on agriculture has
halted the Jones amendment, en-
bodying a prohibition rider to the
food survey bill, to investigate the
truth of cambridge Colby's state
ment that the enactment and en-
forcement of national prohibition at
this time would reduce the output OF
our shipyards 25 per cent.
Hating to Investigate statement
of this kind indicates some sanity
on the part of the senate committee
in dealing with subject upon which
violent intolerance and brutal dis
regard of the rights and opinions of
others and Of the public interest,
have overthrown sanity. The ques-
ton is not one to be settled SO much
by investigation as by sound prin-
ciple and reason in the light OF
human experience and broad judg-
ment.
The warning expressed by Mr..
Colby Is not based upon his own
opinion alone. He declared this re-
dnction of output which would be
caused by national bone-dry legisla-
ton was the estimate of the shipping
board and the emergency fleet cor
poration. In short, Mr.. Hurley and
Mr.. Schwab and their associated big
business men, with broad experience
in handling labor. see the inevitable
effect Of excessive and intolerant re-
strictions upon men engaged In
arduous and wearing labor for the
winning of the war and who are
urged to assume the hardest tasks
and to exert every ounce of energy
to that end. When in addition to the
labors asked of them unnecessary
restrictions as to personal conduct
and as to food or drink are imposed
upon them, what can be expected?
Men who are deprived Of what they
have been accustomed to use and
are strait-jacketed in conformity with
code of conduct formulated by
others and arbitrarily imposed by
political power, are not inclined to
cheerful sacrifice. but to resentment
and rebellion.
Although the president has de-
clined to attempt to influence legis-
lation further, we know that he holds
the opinion that sweeping prohibi-
its effect upon large elements of
population. We know that Mr.
Hoover and other leaders who have
a broad view of conditions necessary
to the unifying OF the people for war
effort are fearful Of the effect of
sweeping prohibition measures.
Mr.. Colby's protest against meas
ures of this kind have been voiced
heretofore. The Post-Dispatch has
repeatedly pointed out the danger of
throwing the prohibition bomb into
the ranks of the people when every
effort should be made to harmonic,
unity and stimulate all elements for
war-winning work. But Mr.. Colby's
view is SO clearly and convincingly
stated that we reprint several ex-
cerpts SO that they may be thor,
oughly impressed upon he public
mind. He said:
You know that the labor in the
shipyards is muscle racking,
arduous and exhausting. Many
of these men are accustomed to
