WAR KILLED ANTI-SEMITISM IN
FRANCE SAYS CHIEF
RABBI.
lBy |. ]. p. b.

Paris, July 30.-The new Grand
Rabbi Of France stated in an inter-
view with a French newspaper man,
that there is no more anti-Semitism in
France. The war, he said, killed the
hatred Of Jews. The Jews sacrificed
themselves for the country as much
as the best of the natives, he stated,
and with this sacrifice they succeed
ed in killing the hatred towards Jews
and in winning for themselves the
love, respect, and tolerance Of all
those who formerly disliked them.
Chief Rabbi Levi, also stated that
the war had ruined most Of the jew
ish communities, in the districts oc-
cupied by the Germans.

PREMIER PADEREwSKI ADVISES
POLISH PARLIAMENT TO
RATIFY POLISH TREATY.
(By |. J. p. b.

London. July 30.-In an address de-
livered before the Polish Parliament
by Paderewski regarding the Jewish
rights granted BY the Polish Peace
Treaty to be ratified by Parliament,
the Premier said that the question OF
minority rights had been settled even
before the armistice had been signed,
in order to satisfy the Jews who are
very powerful in financial circles.
Paderewski admitted that from the
Polish point Of view there are many
clauses in the Peace Treaty which are
very Objectionable. This, he said,
could not however be helped, because
the Allies have put their food down
on the maximum concessions they
we're willing to grant Poland. Before
concluding Paderewski reminded Par
lament that the Allies conceded Po-
land the right to demand that Polish
be taught in Jewish schools.

FOR REIGN and Dom ESTIC NEWS

from DR.. Isaac Alcalay, chief rabbi
of Serbia. 1t is dated June II.
During the war; he wrote, Jews
in Belgrade were exposed to gunfire
throughout the fifteen months the
city was under bombardment. The
Jewish population of the city, former
ly 5000, now numbers no more than
$500. The number is being increased
daily by returning refugees. Many
men are still with the colors.
"The years Of fighting have depriv-
ed more than 400 families Of their
bread winners. These people have to
be helped. We have also taken care
Of the invalids and orphans. II Amer
lean Jewish relief societies can con-
tnue the monthly help Of $4,000 until
the end of 1920 we feel that all the
disabilities and misfortunes will grad
ually disappear"
In Bulgaria, according to a report
from Miss Hetty Goldman Of this city,
the condition Of Jews is somewhat
better than in Serbia. Poverty is not
so widespread nor are health condi-
tons so bad.

The reports Of conditions Of Jews in

They show that economic ruin, cpl

TWO OLD JEWS KILLED AND
MANY SEVERELY WOUNDED
IN CHICAGO RACE RIOTS.
(By |. ]. P. b.

Chicago, July 3l.-The killing of
two Jews and the wounding Of many
others, some Of them very severely, is
reported by the police authorities dur
ing the first five days Of the Chicago
race riots. Counsellor Samuel Ma
son, one Of the best known Chicago
lawyers is one of thu severely wound
ed ones. He like all the other Jews
whose names appear among the cas-
ulties was an innocent victim Of the
fierce fighting which took place there
between the colored population and
the whites.

without any new massacres on Jews.
Seventy-seven Jews were killed in
Kitograd, and many hundreds were
wounded; five Jews were killed in Ur-
inin; several hundred Jewish families
were completely annihilated in Uman.
The newspaper "Rosta" which ap-
pears in Chernigov reports that no
less than 10000 Jews were killed in
Ukraine since the armistice was sign
ed.
The Rabbis Of Kaminietz-Podolsk
sized up the situation and know that
further massacres may be expected.
They appealed, therefore to the Rou-
maniap government to take over Kam-
inietz Podolsk, Chatin, and the cities
within radius of 25 miles.

ROUMANIA ASKS JEWS TO PRO.
TEST AGAINST MINORITY
RIGHTS-WANTS JEWS TO
WORK AGAINST OWN
INTERESTS.
(By l. ]. P. b.

London, July 3l.-The Roumanian
government asks the Jews to work
against their own interests and TO
protect against the concessions given
the Jews by the Peace Conference.
While Roumania does not express il
in the same words it practically
amounts to the same thing when it
issues an appeal to the Jewish popula-
tion similar to the one issued by the
Polish government calling upon the
Jewish citizens to protest against
minority rights on the ground that
such rights given to small nations are
tantamount to an insult to the SOW.
ereignty Of their country. The Jews
Of course refused to comply with this
request Of their government, which, If
granted, would amount to the Jews
asking the Peace Conference to return
the Jewish status to its pre-wur con.
dition. The government, naturally, is
not satisfied with the Jews refusal to
obey the appeal.

JEWISH 0ST-BIBLICAL HIS.
TORY
Through Great Personalities.
From Jochanan Ben Zakkai through
Moses Mendelsshon, by Adele Bid
ersee. The Union Of American He
brew Congregations, Cincinnati.

The Post-Biblical History is an
excellent volume for higher classes in
Sabbath School as we'll as for adult
religious classes As the title sug-
bests, the stories are both aTlmudic
and Post -Talmudic. The choice Of the
personalities about whom the stories
are written is excellent. The author
has used rare judgment in the selec-
tion Of names like Maimonides, len
Ezra Meir Of Rothenburg and other
Of Middle Ages. These is an excel
lent essay on Moses Mendelssohn.
The book ought TO give the young
folks Of our religious classes material
in the knowledge Of great personali-
ties that heretofore have been gotten
from poorly written histories on the
Jewish Encyclopedia. We are very
glad to see the Union Of American
Hebrew Congregations at last get on
terra firma. Mrs. Bildersee's book Is
somewhat too mature for young
classes but Is excellent for the larger
of children and adults.
