GERMANY PLANS FIGHT ON JEWS AFTER THE WAR
STOCKHOLM APRIL 30.-A new

1. STOCKHOLM APRIL BOA new anti-Semitic campaign has begun in Germany, announces the German Association for Combating of anti Semitics, which has issued an appeal for support in opposing this new propaganda against Jews.
 "All indications poin: to the fact that this anti-Semitic movement will
 be carried on in more intensive form after the end of the war;" asserted the German association. Extensive preparations have been made therefor for pecuniary re- sources have been assembled"
 The appeal defends the Jews against charges of usury and profit eering during the war, and declares that the anti-Semites "desire to use hatred for Jews as a means of up- dolding the strongly threatened and
 unjustified privileges of a small caste against the inevitable new orientation of Germany's internal conditions"
 K The April number of the German magazine Deutschland's Erneuerung Contains an article by Dr. Erich Kuhn in which, after discussing the campaign to obtain a modern cleo toral franchise in Prussia, he de- clares that if the electoral reform be forced upon the state, ''it should be provided that only Germans by blood-not merely by citizenship shall be eligible for election. It pure-blooded Germans of a certain standard of education shall be per mitted to occupy responsible posts in the press. Finally it must be so arranged that in all our schools and universities the spirit of German Nationalism shall be taught only by persons of national dcpendableness.
 The publishers of Deutschland's Erneuerung include the conservative university professor von Buelow, President Class of the Pan-German A Aliiance and D-~c----- Df~eAI I>ii Schafer.
 There is doubt here that the Asso- citation for the Combating of Anti Semitism correctly appraises the sit uation when it declares that a strong anti-Semitlc campaign can be ex- petced in Germany after the war The indications are regarded as un. mistakable.

EARL WELlNER LEAVES SOON FOR
 MILITARY POST
Plans to Enlist in 14th Infantry Upon His Arrival At Fort
 Gibbon.

Among those scheduled to leave Nenana on the Seattle No. 8, is Earl Rockwell McGregor Welliver, who has resigned his position with the Alaskan Engineering commission to- day to enter the service of Uncle Sam.
 Earl plans to proceed immediately to Fort Gibbon and enlist in Com- pany B of the Fourteenth Infantry, stationed there, indications pointing very strongly to the certainty of the entire detachment being transferred Outside this fall.
 Mir. Welliver has examined the work and duties in connection with various branches of the United States army with view of enlisting where l he would be of the most value, and has decided that the infantry offers the best field, and for that reason has decided to become regular doughboy.
 Many of MT. Welliver's friends have predicted that he will not be in the ranks long before he makes the non-com grade, his natural apti- tude for militarism and his winning smile making very strong combina- tion for the field of endeavor which he is now entering.
 Earl Welliver is one of the pioneer residents of Nenana, having come here with the first party of perman- ent locators in May, 1916. He has seen the rise of the town, from a few tents to town of no mean pro- portions, and seen it take its place among the first in Interior Alaska, and when he gets Outside he will he able to tell how things are done in Alaska, especially about the speedy manner in which the rivers rise.
 Mir NalI;..~-,,- --....'s.Is training in the Hudson Bays, prob ably one of the "rummest" military organizations ever in a town of so small size, will probably stand him in good stead when he takes up his new duties at the fort Throughout the entire winter, under the tutor ship of the various members of the Company B detailed here, Earl has been learning the requisites of mili- tary training and is going to Gibbon with a good working knowledge of army life.
 Earl will leave a host of friends here who will miss him very much, but are assured that he will give a good account of himself and hold up the record of Nenana whenever he gets the opportunity "Over There" Let's send him away with smile.

1T LOOKS LIKE A JOSH"
REMARKS MAJ. PULLMAN
"Bomb" Found at Civil Service Com.
mission Building "Exploded"
at Police Headquarters.

"1t looks like a JOSH" was what Mai.
Pullman. chief of police. this morning
said about the finding of a shaving
stick box containing lining of plaster
of paris and small quantity Of a pow
dered substance resembling powder,
that was found on the sill of a window
of the Civil Service Commission build
ing Thursday morning.
A match was applied to a small por-
tion of the mixture at police headauar-
ters last night, and. it is stated, it
burned similar to the burning of pow
der used in the preparation Of colored
lights. There was no flare. said the de-
tective who conducted the experiment,
and had the contents of the can been
harm would have been done.
Why the small metal box and con-
tents were left On the sill Of the win
dow, police officials said they could not
understand. They realize they may have
been left there by some person who pos
sibly wanted to find them and play the
role of hero for the purpose Of obtain
ing a promotion. If such proves to be
the case, however, the individual will
receive something other than a promo
ton.
, Police officials recall an instance in
which an alleged Internal machine was
left on the doorstep at the house of a
justice of the Supreme Court Of the
United States by newspaper men some
years ago. Then story of the find was
flashed over the country at SO much per
column. Arrests of the men followed
and they were heavily fined.

NEW YORK, February 2.-william
b. Thompson. who was in Petrograd
from July until November last, has
made personal contribution of
$1.ooo.o00 to the bolsheviki for the pur-
pose of spreading their doctrines in
Germany and Austria.
Mr.. Thompson had an opportunity to
study Russian conditions as head of
the American Red Cross mission, ex-
penses of which also were largely de-

He believes that the bolsheviki censti-
tute the greatest power against pro-
Germanism In Russia, and that their
propaganda has been Undermining the
militarist regimes Of the central
powers.
Mr.. Thompson deprecates American
criticism of the bolsheviki. He be-

and has made the financial contribu-
ton to their cause in the belief that

DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY FOR
WASHINGTON RESIDENTS
Today Marks Coming of the Ground
Hog and the Going Of the
Loan Shark.

This is not only ground hog day" but
1t is an anniversary of much signid-
canoe to the people of Washington. For
1t marks the close Of four years OF
operation of the law enacted to pro-
tect the money borrowers of the Dis
trict from the rapacity of usurers, Will
liam H. Baldwin. through whose efforts
the so-called "loan shark law" was Sc
cured from Congress, today called at
tention to this fact and in an interest
ing statement given to The Star re-
viewed the effects of the law az 1t has
been enforced since the court finally
upheld it. Mr.. Baldwin said:
"It was Just four years ago today that
the Court of Appeals handed down
decision upholding the loan shark law
Of February 4. 1913. Few people realize
the difference which this law has made
to the community. nor the burden from
which 1t freed those who had long been
in the clutches of the lenders me

Fred Huettman of Chicago. who was
said to have paid $4,000 toward the
defeat of the law in the previous Con-
gress, testified Clearing April ~. l9!4'

four companies had an average OF
$11S,12S in the business. An average OF
about sixty loans made by these COM
panies, taken at random from those
brought in to the Office of the corpora
ton counsel, showed that the rate OF
interest averaged 131 per cent per an
mum.
-Four years ago today there were
still twenty-one companies or concerns
doing that kind of business In WASH
ington, some of them larger than these
four, so that the amount Of money ac-
tually being loaned was not less than
S50a,000. and at an average rate or 1S0
per cent per annum the interest paid
would have been $650,00O, as against
the legal rate of $4,000. Making all
due allowances it is certain that the
passage Of the law stopped the payment
of more than 100000 of Illegal In
terest In Washington each year, and
to the comfort and happiness OF our
people.
THAT some clandestine loans are still
made, and advantage taken Of those in
need, Is no doubt true, but the whole
sale exploitation OF ignorant borrow
ers, by advertisements and otherwise,
has been stopped, and there are no
doing such business pub
icly in Washington.

ing to one of the oldest money lenders
in Washington, are doing what they
can, one of them largely with former
patrons, from the edge of Virginia. but
