ANTISEMITISM IN GERMANY
AND AUSTRIA.

Mr.. Houston Stewart Chamber
lain, the well-known renegade Eng
lishman and German author, has re-
ceived from the Kaiser a letter :, i
thanks and approval for his leaflct
entitled "The Will to Victory, in
which he describes the qualities of
the British and the Jews as those
of Glow and repulsive shopkeepers".
In the budget debate in the Austrian
Reichsrat on July 10th the Christian
Socialist deputy Jerzabek said that
the rumours against the Imperial
House were spread by people who
spoke "a Yiddish jargon of German,
and appealed to the Emperor to pre-
serve Christian people from the grip
of the Jews who ruled the country.

CLOSING. OF THE EAST GER
MAN FRONTIER TO JEWS.

The "Judische Rundschau" Der
lin) of July 10th states that, from
various reports and complaints that
reach it, there can no longer be anv
question that the Eastern frontier of
Germany has been definitely closed
to Jewish immigrant workmen from
Poland and Lithuania, while remain
ing open to those Of other nation
alities. 1t ascribes this regulation
to the Prussian Ministry of the H.
terror, which has always been motor
iously antisemitic in it's attitude.
Whatever may be the ostensible
grounds for thus discriminating
against the Jews, it says that there
is only one real ground namely
Jew-hatred, and only one real ex-
PLANTATION, namely, medieval preju-
dice. Though directed nominal1y
against East European Jews, this
measure, it says, if persisted in, must
be regarded by the German Jews as
a declaration of war against them
selves.

The Y. M. H. A. is working in
conjunction with other local organi-
cations, relieving them of certain
duties in the interests Of the Jewish
community, which they are better
equipped to handle.
That the work of the Y. M. H. A.
and its purpose is laudable is certain
ly obvious, and it is earnestly de-
sired that all young Jewish men will
join the association and give every
effort to carry out its principles.

resentatlve of the Committee on
Public Information.
Rabbi Silver had an opportunity
to observe the American soldier at
the front, in the hospital and in the
midst of the construction work that
IS directly related to the service
abroad. He visited the villages in
Alsace that are held by the Allies
and was at the front at other points.
Our boys are being we'll taken
care of" he said. Every possible
attention is being given their well
fare. [ visited ten or twelve field
hospitals and I had an opportunity
to observe many phases Of the sol
dler's life. | saw the work that is
being done in France. 1t is phe-
nomenal. Our organization is won
derful. [ spent three days at Yer
dun went over the battlefield and
saw the ruins Of the synagog. At
Chateau Thierry l inspected the old
chateau that gives the place it's
name.
"There is great need for men to
minister to the spiritual wants of
the Jewish men in service. The
boys are craving for this service.
Men who formerly scarce gave re-
ligion serious thought have de-
veloped a spiritual feeling that is re-
markable. More than one man
asked me for Bible or prayer-book
in France and requested me to ar
range for services for the HOLY
Days.
81 saw Rabbi Voorsanger abroad.
He is chaplain of the New York Di-
vision. There are 5000 Jews in this
division. At the present time there
are five Jewish chaplains with the
American forces. There is a crying
need for additional men for this ser
vice.
Rabbi Silver was the guest at two
dinners in Paris attended by num-
Der Of the most distinguished men
in France, and visited Maurice
Barres, who has become an ardent
admirer of the Jews.
The Cleveland rabbi was selected
by the Committee on Public Infor-
nation for service abroad at the
request of the French High Com
mission.

Keeyer is 'shigh churchlyo
He believes that everything that
art can contribute to the wor-
ship of God should be utilized
by the church. He deplores the
tendency to look askance at
such things because they "look
Catholic. When it came to our
Lutheran communion services at
Camp Wadsworth, l always
asked the Fighting chaplain
to be with us. On such occasions
he was never satisfied to wear
his uniform of first lieutenant.
Invariably he would don his
clerical robe, and then he would
adorn that with a stole, beauti-
fully embroidered with the col
or appropriate to the season.
We told him he looked like a
cardinal, to which he would
%retort, "This is proper.
He also insisted on all the
appointments being as correct
as a military camp would per-
NIT. A portable altar of his own
design was set up at our COM
munion services. Decked with a
white cloth and with a gold
cross attached to the back, the
altar always looked beautiful
and churchly. He also invariab-
ly made the sign Of the cross in
dismissing the communicates.
An Episcopalian chaplain one
Sunday watched our service from
beginning to end. At the conclu-
sion he did not attempt to con-
ceal his admiration for the
beauty of the service. He ex-
pressed special surprise over
the fact that Keeyer made the
sign Of the cross.
"Why l didn't know that
you Lutherans were high
churchly" he exclaimed.
"You didn't7" rejoined Kee-
yer. "Well you fellows have a
lot to learn"

The Fighting Chaplain" was
universally admired by the of.
icers and men Of his regiment
because of what they termed
his "Gameness". He was willing
to attempt any feat, no matter
how difficult.
Last winter Governor Whit.
man Of New York came to Camp
Wadsworth to review the New
York National Guard. 1t was
a big event, and the colonel Of
Keeyer's regiment ordered hi
entire staff to be on hand and
mounted. The colonel was quite
a horseman, and his stables con
tanned some splendid thorough
breds. Among these was "Crusa
der, a fine horse, but spirited
and hard to control. A youne
lieutenant essayed to ride thu
animal but was quickly endorsed
There was no other steed avail
able, and the officer would mo-
venture a second trial. Keeyel
solved the dilemma by offering
him his horse.
"Bnt what will you rider
asked the lieutenant.
"Oh, I'll get something, y
Keever replied.
A few moments later Keeyel
Joined the other officers, noun.
ted on "Crusaderl" All went
well during the review, but
when the officers started back
to their quarters, CRUSADER
as was his custom whenever
the colonel rode him, took for
granted that he ought to lead
the procession. Now it is distinct
ly improper in military etiquetti
for an inferior officer TO q
ahead of a superior. But "Cru.
sader" had decided TO lead, and
though Keever tugged at the
reins as hard as he could, the
strong-headed animal stretched
out his neck and passed thu
colonel. Finally Keeyer got hin
under control and waited unit
the colonel rode up.
81 beg your pardon, colonel
puffed Keever, "but this horse
is hard to manage.
81 know it," grinned the col
onel, enjoying the situation
hugely.
ALI went well for a few min
utes until CRUSADER" agar
came to the conclusion that hi,
place was at the head Of the
