Even the oisnified English Butler Cas-
Go Astrsy az Times


A little story which has just
found its way across the Atlantic
from an English country house tells
Of the recent slip made by new
and nervous butler in serving hs
master, a duke, at the luncheon ta-
BILE. Quiet, respectful and assidu-
cus, he protfered a dish with the IL
sinuating query.

For his entertainment village Gel

languages, ancient and modern, at the
tip of his tongue-to Professor Brandes,
the Danish scholar, an intellectual giant,
and critic in the direct line OF Salnte-
Beuve and Taine-both men l knew and
loved. Whether the Jew has attained
the SUBMITS as a creator in the Seven
Arts I cannot speak authoritatively, al
though the Old Testament furnishes
abundant evidences that he has in po-
etry. Disrael, (Beaconsfeld,) who
liked to tease Gladstone by calling him
"Frohstein" and pointing to his rugged
Jewish prophets features, has written of
his race most eloquently. I should like
to quote a passage in its entirety, but
time and space forbid But an excerpt
I permit myself the luxury of reproduce
ton: "The ear, the voice, the fancy
teeming with combinations, the inspir-
alton fervid with picture and emotion,
that came from Caucasus, and which we
have preserved unpolluted, have en-
dowed us with almost the exclusive pri-
vilege of music; that science of harmon
ious sounds which the ancients recog
nize as most divine and dehed in the
person of their most beautiful creature.
T." He goes on: "There is not a
company of singers, not an orchestra in
a single capital, that is not crowded
with Our children under feigned names
which they adopt to conciliate the dark
aversion which your posterity will some
day disclaim with shame and disgust.
*
Lord Beaconsfeld mentions Rossini,
Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn as Jewish COM
posers, and Pasta and Grisi among the
singers. Probably he had not heard
Rossini's witticism uttered on his
deathbed: "For heavens sake, don't
bury me in the Jewish cemetery" Nor
did Beaconsfeld look far enough ahead
when he wrote "dark aversion (which
is wonderful. Today the boot is on the
other leg. 1t may be Gentiles who will
be forced to change their names to Jew
ish. I could easily sign myself "Shamus
Hanuchah" out the "lichts"-
or pattern after the name Paderewski
jokingly wrote on his photographs: "For
Jacob Hunekerstein."
And I am ashamed to confess that I
know Jews who themselves are ashamed
of having been born Jews. Incredible!
In Vienna I have seen St. Stefan's Ca
thedral crowded at the II o'clock
high mass by most fervent worshippers,
the majority of whom seemed Semitic,
which prompted me to PROFOUND the
riddle: "When is a Jew not a Jew?
Answer: When he is Roman Catholic
in Vienna. But you never can tell. AS
Joseffy used to say when some musician
with a nose like the Ten Command
ments was introduced, as, for example,
Monsieur Fontaine He is not Jew,

genuine Jew. Many a man has found
himself in similar position. Atavistic
impulses, submerged in subconscious-
ness, may explain why certain men,
Gentiles, scholars, by nature noncom-
batants, have left their peaceful study,
jeopardized their life, ruined their repu-
tation, to battle for an obscure Jew
Dreyfus. lola, of Greek Levantine or
igin, perhaps Italian and Jew, was one
of those valient souls who fought for
the truth. Anatole France, born Thi-
bault, another. Count Thibault, at the
time of the Dreyfus uproar, challenged
the great writer who signs himself An
atole France to prove his right to that
distinguished Roman Catholic name.
That the gentle Anato1e is the very spit
and spawn of Jew, SO far as appear
ance goes; that since Heine (baptized
Christian) no such union of hooking
irony and tender, poetic emotion can be
noted in the work of any writer, are
alike valueless as testimony. Neverthe-
less, many believe in this Hebraic strain;
just as they feel it in the subtlety of
Cardinal Newman's writing-he was of
Dutch stock-and in the humor of
Charles Lamb. Both Englishmen are
accredited with the precious quintes-
sence," as Du Maurier would say.
I have had to stand lot of good-na-
tured fun poked at me for my Jewish
propensity. I can stand it, as I have a
solid substratum of history for my spec
u1ations. Some years ago The Contem-
porary Review printed an article en-
titled "The Jew in Music" with this
motto from Oscar Wilde's "Salome":
"The Jews believe only in what they
cannot see." The writer's name was
signed: A. E. Keeton. Not even the
assertion that Beethoven was a Belgian
is half so iconoclastic as some of the
assumptions made in this study. when
Mozart first appeared as a prodigy be-
fore the future Queen of France, Marie
Antoinette, she announced that "a gen
ius must not be Jew" The original
name Ozart was changed. Mozart was
baptized! Which anecdote makes the
scalp to freeze, though not because of
its verisimilitude, Beethoven and Rub
instein looked alike; ergo! But then they
didn't. In the case of Chopin he was
certainly Jewish looking, especially in
the WHITEWATER and Kwiatowski por-
traits. His father came from Nancy,
in Lorraine, thick1y populated by Jews.
The original name Szopen, or Sop, is
jewish, His music, especially the first
Scherzo in B minor, has Heine-like
irony, and irony is prime characteristic
of the Chosen Tor CHOOSING as Zanpw11
puts it) race! But all this is in the
key of widest surmise. Wagner was
born in the ghetto at Leipsic; yet that
didn't make him Jewish, any more than

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Jew" but only after I had introduced
to the columns of The New York Times
Sunday Magazine in 1913 book by
Otto Bournot entitled Ludwig Geyer."
Geyer was, as you may remember, the
stepfather of Richard Wagner. Bour-
not had access to the Baireuth archives
and delved into the newspapers of Gey-
er's days. August Bottinger's "Necrol-
ogy" had hitherto been the chief source.
Mary Burrell's "Life of Wagner" was
the first to give the true spelling of the
name of Wagners mother, which was
Bertz, which may be Jewish or German,
as you like.
The Geyers as far back as 1900 were
pious folk The first of the family men
toned in local history was a certain
Benjamin Geyer, who about 1900 was a
trombone player and organist. Indeed,
the Geyers were largely connected with
the Evangelical Church. Ludwig Geyer,
virtually acknowledged by Baireuth as
the real father of Richard Wagner,
looked Jewish (Which proves nothing,
as I have seen dark, Semitic fsher-folk
on the coast of Galway and displayed
Jewish versatility. For that matter the
composer Won Weber looked like
Jew, as does Camille Saint Saens. When
I ventured to write of this racial trait
much more marked in his youth-the
French composer sent me a denial, sar-
castcal1y asking how man with such
a 'ho1y" name as "Saint-Saens" could
be Jewish. But Leopold Godowsky,
who was intimate with him, has told me
that he took his mothers name. AS to
Wagner, little story may suffice. In
1896 I attended the Wagner festival at
Baireuth. Between performances I
tramped the Franconian hills. My toes
hurt me. Looking for corn cutter, I
found one not far from the Wagner
house. The old chap seated me in his
doorway, probably to get better light,
and as he crouched over my feet in the
street I asked him if he had known
Richard Wagner "Know Wagner!" he
irascibly replied Gle passed my shop
every day. Many the times I cut his
corns. Oh, no! not here, over yonder"
he jerked his head in the direction of
Wahnfried. I inquired what kind of
looking man was Wagner. "He was
little bow1egged Jew, and he always
wore a long cloak to hide his crooked
legs" En6n, the truth from the mouth
of babes. This beats Nietzsche and his
"Vulture" Geyer.
Not religion, not nationality, but race,
counts in the individual. Wagner looked
like Jew. And there are many red
haired Jews with pug noses and light
blue eyes, Renan in lie Judaisme" has
shown us how non-Jewish elements
were in the course of time Incorporated
within the race. The Chazars of east
ern Europe are Jews only thousand

On the Safe Side

Although Tim and Pat were known to be great friends, it was remarked that one morning they passed each other on the street without speaking
 "Why, Tim" queried friend in as- tonishment, have you and Pat quar- reled?'
 Faith, we have not" replied Tim, earnestly.
 There seemed to be a coolness be- tween you when you passed this morning."
 "Well," explained Tim, "that's the way we're going to hold our friend ship"

 "Ye don't? We'll, thin, it's this way. Pat and me are that devoted to wan another that we can't bear the thought av quarrel, an as we're both moighty hot tempered, we've resolved not to speak to wan another at all, for fear of breaking our friend ship. ."-Harper's Magazine.

WHAT HE MEANT

A German prisoner was brought in and questioned by the American intel ligence officer. After the questioning the prisoner, who spoke English with a London accent, said that he had a question to ask. "I cannot under stand what that soldier who bayonct- ed me meant he remarked plaintiv- ely, "There were three of us, Caspar and Max and me. The soldier came running at us and We all put our hands in the air and said 'Kamerad'
 But he shot Caspar and Max and put his bayonet into me and then he went running right on. And all he said was, 'Aw, go chase yourself!' I can not understand what that soldier should mean" And the officer eX- plained that the Yank had merely re- marked that he was in great hurry.
