In connection with this work, it is

six months ago by another Jew, Mr..

MIR. Eidlitz represented the Govern

GERMAN ANTI-ZIONISTIC
PROPAGANDA IN RUSSIA
REPORTED.

Washington (By ]. C.)-Our cor
respondent has learned from abso-
lutely authoritative sources, that
new German Propaganda against
Zionism has been started in the Ger
man-occupied territories in Russia,
and especially in Poland. This
propaganda is being spread among
the Jews to counteract the Zion
istic influence.
The Germans are spreading rum
ors among the Jews, to the effect
that England aims to keep Pa1es-
tine and, with this end in view, is
using the Jewish people simply as
tools. The Germans are attempting
to prove that, should Great Britain
succeed in securing Palestine, she
will keep it as one of her possessions
instead Of giving it to the Jews. The
promise to restore Palestine to the
Jews, is spoken Of as one of the i'm
perialistic tricks of Great Britain.
It is stated that German Propo-
ganda is spreading rapidly and is
very injurious to the Zionistic cause.
The Jewish Correspondent regards
the news of this propaganda as evil
dence that Germany is certain that
she is unable to secure Palestine by
force. She, therefore, finds it neces-
sary to have recourse to strategy
and to try to undermine the Zion
ist movement by spreading these
rumOrs.

TWO MOTHERS CLAIM ONE
CHILD.
Like Unto the Day of Solomon.

Copenhagen (By J. GA re-
markable decision was given by
Rabbi Treistman, of LODI. Two
mothers quarreled regarding the
child, each claiming the child as hers.
The story in this connection runs as
follows:
Two children, both boys, were in
child's hospital. While being
bathed together, one of these was
drowned. Each of the mothers in
sisted that the living child was hers,
and as they could not come to an
agreement, both Of them went to
Rabbi Treistman for a decision as
to which mother was in the right.
Rabbi Treistman invited several
medical specialists to investigate the
possibility of establishing which
woman was really the mother of the
living child. The physicians stated
that such a decision is at this time
impossible and, therefore, the Rabbi
rendered decision that the child be
placed in the care of a nurse, to be
reared at the expense of both moth
ers. The child's appearance may
later make it possible to come to
decision as to which woman is really
it's mother.
