Said the Jury

ton worthy of Gilbert & Sullivan's
Trial by Jury" developed here when
girls class from the Howells Girls
School LANDAU, filed past the jury
box in order that judge and jury
might judge as to their physical CON

the father of a pupil sued the gov
errors Of the school for damages, al
leging that his daughter was not
properly fed, The inspection of a
class satisfied the court that the ma
jority of the girls seemed to be do

ton. 1t would also make it possible
to provide funds to Germany to put
her on her feet and enable her to
pay her just debt to the world. Such
loans aswere made from the central
fund for reconstruction work in any
country-new railroads, new indus
trial plants and the like-wouId al
ways be secured by this newly Gre
ated physical property until such
time as the country involved could
pay back the loan and redeem the
property.
Such plan would give the strick-
en- countries of the world-even the
enemy commissioners and hope, the
two greatest factors in setting up
their self respect"
Blumenfeld declared that the war
had measurably increased the good
feeling in Great Britain towards the
United States.
mo single factor contributed more
to that result than the splendid con-
duct of the American soldiers in En-
gland" he said "The recent trouble
between the police and American sol
diers in London was due principally
to the stupidity of a London police
man. The conduct of the Yankee
soldiers was consistently beyond re-
proach."
The feeling in many quarters in
England that Germany must be help
ed does not mean that bitterness
against the Germans has abated,
Blumenfeld said.
"That feeling was almost wholly
the result of the Gotha raids on Lon
don," said he. "Britons almost ad
mired the efficiency as fighters of the
German soldiers early in the war.
They had not then the bitterness of
personal feeling against the enemy
that developed later. Then came the
use Of poison gas by the Germans and
the feeling of hatred began. 1t was
by the appearance of the
Zeppelins over England, but it burst
in full flame when the Gothas appear
ed in the fleets and began to shower
bombs upon the helpless poor of
London. The terrible hatred which
those raids engenedred will not be
forgotten for fifty years"
