after the Thanksgiving recess. The
next scheduled game is that with the

one Of the fastest college teams in the

be very strong. The Seminary boys

THE SITUATION OF THE JEWS
IN POLAND.
By DR.. Gotthard Deutsch.
Historic Aspect.

the former kingdom Of Poland, rising
in the cities to 40 pre- cent Warsaw,
and in some instance even 80 per
cent (Berdyczew), have been living
in these territories since they were
opened to civilization. Legend speaks
Of Jew. Abraham Prochnovnik,
who was elected king Of Poland in
$40 but declined, nominating Past
who became the founder of the dyn-
asty ruling Poland for several CEN
turtles (84O-1370). Another legend re-
ports that Duke Leszek formerly in
vited the Jews who were prosecuted
in western Europe to settle in his
land, 905.
While these stories can not be ac-
cepted as real facts, it is certain that
individual Jews did live in Poland in
these early days, and undisputed evil
dence proves them to have had or
ganized congregations in the 18th
cent, as the contemporary rabbinic
author, Eliezer of Bohemia, reports,
and as is evident from the charter
issued by king Boleslaus w. in 1864,
confirmed and amplified in 1884 by
his successors, Casimir III 1887
1370), whom Polish historians call the
Great and Casimir w Q447-1492) in
the first year of his reign. The Jews
are given autonomy in internal af-
fairs, and the legislation shows
throughout their Importance in the
economic life of the country.
The Jews, therefore, are no new
corners in Poland. Their actual ex-
istence dates back over a thousand
years and their historic Importance
as factor in the economic develop
ment Of the country is proven by
undisputed evidence for the last 700
years. When western Europe either
expeyyed the Jews England, 1890;
France, 1894; Spain, 1892; Portugal,
1896; various German states and
numerous cities, especially the free
cities, in the course or 18th century,,
the Jews migrated in large numbers
to Poland, where they furnished the
missing middle class. The Poles,
then being primitive people, had
only peasants and mobiles. The Jews
furnished the mechanics, merchants
and finanters, replacing the Ger
mans who up to that time furnished
the burgess elements in the primitive
beginning urban life. So it is still
today, as can be seen by the numer-
Gus Jewish tailors, shoemakers, lock-
smiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, house
painters, BARRIERS, etc, who come
from Poland and have settled in this
country.
This is not the time to speak of
the selfishness Of the mobiles and the
fanaticism Of the Jesuits who
brought the country to ruin, when
the activity Of the Jews tended to
make it economically independent of
its western neighbors, but we may
point to the unsupported testimony
Of an Italian priest Scipione Pattioli,
the adviser of the last king of
Poland, Stanislaus Augustus Poiat-
owski, 1764-l795, who suggested to
the king as one of the ways in which
Poland's independence could be pro-
tected from the greed of her neigh
bors to grant to the Jews greater
freedom,

THE WISH ONITOR

TO this call was the jew, berek
Josilovitch, who equipped regiment
of Jews at the head of which he was
killed in action near Kotzk, May 5,
1909. A Polish noble placed a mon
ument on the spot where he fell, and
in Lemberg a monument was erected
in his honor on the centenary of his
death. Berek's son, Joseph Berko-
witch, followed in the footsteps of
his father and in 1881 organized a
Jewish legion in the renewed futile
attempt to resuscitate the kingdom
of Poland. When in 1916 again an
attempt was made to regain Poland's
independence, the first insurgent bat
talon in Vracow counted 40 Jews,
several Of whom fell on the barri-
cades fighting for their fatherland
Czvnski, the Polish patriot, believes
that the failure of the revolution
was due to Catholic fanaticism. The
Jewish poet, Moritz Hartmann 1881
1922, and the Jewish publicist and
politicians, Moritz Veit (1S06-lS64),
advocated the cause of Poland, and
the German poet, Heinrich Laube
QS06-lSS4, who, living in the Ger
man-Polish border province of Silesia,
was certainly familiar with the con-
ditions, presents in his novel "Die
Krieger" the figure of Jew who is
an ardent Polish patriot. In the last
attempt of the Poles to regain their
national independence by the armed
uprising, in 1861, the Jews took an
active part in the movement from the
start. The chief rabbi of Warsaw,
Berish Meisels (1S0O-lS70), appealed
to his community to take part in the
liberation Of Poland, and he as well,
as the preacher Of the liberal congre-
CATION, Mar.us Jastrow (1S29-l9O3),
the father of professors Joseph Jas
trow Of the University of Wisconsin
and Morris Jastrow Of the University
of Pennsylvania, arrested by the Rus
sian government as traitors. Jas
trow, who was a native of Prussian
Poland, was exiled, and so great was
the confidence in his Polish patriot
ism that Polish district in Prus-
sian Poland offered him the nomina-
ton as representative in the Prussian
diet. Another proof of the sympathy
Of the Jews with the Polish cause is
seen in the attempt Of the Russian
government to win them over by the
repeal Of the law which prohibited the
acquisition of real estate by Jews,
May "a, 1861, which was followed by
a similar law, issued by the Polish
national government, June 5. This
government recognized the loyalty Of
the Jews in manifesto issued in
1868 shortly before the collapse of
the revolution.
We have proof for the loyalty of
the Jews from two independent
sources during the latest period. The
Jewish publicist, W. Kaplun-Kogan, in
a pamphlet "Der Krieg cine Schick-
salstunde des Juedischen Volkes,"
published in 1914, pleads for the re-
construction of an Independent Po-
land, and the English publicist,
Stephen Graham, who is strongly
prejudiced against the Jews, wrote
in the London Times Oct. 20, 1914:
"Jews and Poles have ben fellow suf-
ferers from and are united in common

Rich In Minerals.

Spitzbergen, 400 miles northwest
Of North Cape In Norway, has been
looked upon for centuries as great

Of exploration. 1t was discovered In

1t had been known to the Russians and

Its shores have been visited during re-

ships, and Arctic explorers have used
1t as base Of operations.
It was not until Sir w. Martin Con-

exploration In 1895 and 1897 that any
thing definite was known concerning
the interior Of Spitzbergen. He made
comparatively complete tour Of the
six islands constituting the group, but
seemed more interested In the glacial
aspects Of the country than In looking
for coal and iron, which are now known
to be there In vast quantities. But he
established effectively the claim of his
country to sovereignty, which seems to
be about to develop into very yalu.

BEFORE DAYS OF LINOTYPE
Detroit's First Newspaper Used
Town crIer to Make Public the
Events Of the Day.

An Item that appeared In this col
umn recently to the effect that GER
tain Swiss village still retained its
spoken newspaper" for the dlssemina
ton of news instead of the modern
method Of the printed page, recalls to
mind the fact that Detroit once had
spoken newspaper" too, and that
here the spoken newspaper" prob
ably reached its highest development
In the United States.
The Rev. FIR. Gabriel Richard, a
priest Of the Order, Of the Sulpice,
who came to Detroit as resident pas
tor of the Roman Catholic church Of
Ste. Anne in 1889, was its conductor,
and 1t was the precursor Of Journal
ism in Michigan. To arouse the pub
lie and awaken an interest In the at
fairs Of the government, Father Rich
ard appointed a town crfer. who every
Sunday at the doors Of his church. told
the public In general, and the congre-
CATION In particular, ali the news that
was fit to speak. In addition to this.
the public crier mentioned the auction
sales and related other advertising
announcements. Later. to supplement
the spoken newspaper" a written edl-
ton was posted at convenient place
near the church. Father Richard was
assisted in his news enterprise by
Thopolis Meetz, the sacristan Of Ste.
Anne's church, but later printer and
publisher.-Detroit News.

OCEAN HAS KEPT ITS SECRET
No One Knows What Became Of the
Fl Steamer President, Missing Since
March, fe41.

The first steamer to be reported
missing was the President, which SAIL
ed away from New York as long ago
as March, 1841. Perhaps 1t was be-
cause big steamers were then marvels
in the eyes Of the people of both the
old and the new world that the whole
public Of America and of Europe
thought Of nothing but the missing
liner over period of many weeks.
Ship after ship arrived which had
started after the President and still no
tidings of the missing ship came to
hand.
On April 13-unlucky day-a letter
was received by one Of the family Of
Q passenger Of the President, saying
that the missing ship had been driven
20 Madeira with a damaged rudder.
Flags were hoisted and there was Joy
On both sides Of the Atlantic, but, alas {!
it was all cruel hoax.
Since the ill-starred day when the
President left New York there have
been many missing ships, and the story
Of the old American liner has been
: repeated again and again, with per-
haps q slight variation In detail. Some
mysteries. although never actually
solved. give US something on which to
found a theory. The ship which sail
Cd away with cargo Of railway met
ais, matches and gunpowder, and was
sfterward reported missing" may
have sunk hut SherlocL HoImas would
probably have thought otherwise.

The great rediscOyerer Of Nineyeh
was, Of course, Sir Henry Layard,
who, In the early forties of last CEN
fury, having obtained the patronage
Of Stratford Canning. British ambas-
sador at Constantinople, himself an
enthusiastic 1archeologist, journeyed to
Mosul and commenced work Of exca-
walton on the mounds Of Nineyeh In
real earnest. The story of the Won
der series ofssdiscoveries which fol-
lowed has been told wildly in his
book, "Nineveh and It's Remains" pub
lished In 1S4S. This work created q
great sensation, and the following year
Layard set out east once again, this
time as the agent Of the British mu-
scum. with grant Of SIS, 600 to carry
still further his great work at MOsul
For more than year his labors went
on steadily. The palaces of Sennach
crib and Ashurbanipal at Kuynj:k

Authorship Not Determined.

"The more see Of human nature,
the more love dogs" The common
phrasing Of this cynicism is: 'The

dogs" This has proved the despair
Of the industrious folk who run quot
able passages down to their source.
Because the sentiment Is somewhat
sardonic II has been attributed to the
French and credited to Victor Hugo
and Georges Sand, but the attribution
has never been satisfactorily fortified
BY the citation of chapter and verse.
The authorship remains problem, and
when 1t was proposed here some years
ego the curious scholarship of those
who are alert to answer these ques-

Not Much Wasted Nowadays.

Tin and copper are not wasted, al
though thrown away by one who has
no further use for them. DEFINING
processes enable manufacturers to re-
cover most Of the tin and use 1t over
again. and copper is almost as good
when resmelted as when first taken
from the mine.
Even the bones which come from
our tables are not wasted. Bones are
OF value for glue making, and they are
Dersistently gathered up and sold to
the glue factories. Millions of pounds
OF glue are made yearly from bones.
Heretofore the trouble has been to
ind a perfectly waterproof glue or ce-
ment which would hold the particles
together under the effects of water !;
but today cement Is used which is alb
eolutely waterproof.-Leslie's Weekly.
