pressed his opinion that the Jews OF
Serbia had always been the best and
most loyal Of citizens.
The reason Serbia had declined 10
sign the peace treaty with Austria, he
stated, was not because she was op-
posed to minority rights for the Jews,
but because she did not wish to give
such rights to Bulgaria.

POLISH OFFICER SURPRISES
ANTI-SEMITISM AMONG
HIS MEN.

Warsaw: (By !. J. P. b. The COM
manding officer Of the new Polish reg
iment which recently entered SedlitI
has received the grateful thanks Of
the Jews Of the city for having taken
effective measures which forestalled
and prevented threatened anti-Semitic
demonstrations on the part Of his SOL
ders. After discovering the begin
ming of an agitation among his men
which would very likely have led to
serious results, the commander took
immediate steps to let it be known
that no disturbances OF such a nature
would be countenanced.

POLISH JEWS DISSATISFIED
WITH MORGENTHAU'S
WORK.

Warsaw: (By !. J. P. b. The Po-
lish Jews and particularly the Social
lists are expressing much dssatisfac-
tion with Morgenthau's visit to Po-
land. The Jewish papers write that his
coming to Poland and his attitude to-
ward tn situation there have done the
Jews more harm than have all the
Polish ant-Semites.
During Morgenthau's visit to Cra-
COW, it is reported, several Jewish Of
ficers came to him to complain that
they had been dismissed for serving
as Jewish officers. Morgenthau justi.
fled the Polish government, saying
that these men had no right TO en-
phasize their Jewishness. America
and other countries, he said. would
also object in a similar instance. Nor
genthau made this statement in the
presence OF Polish officer.

STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE
JEWISH OCCUPATION OF
PALESTINE.

London: (By |. j. P. b. Energetic
measures are being adopted by the Mo-
hammedans and the Christians in Pal
estine in their efforts to prevent the
Jews from becoming the ruling pow
ers there. The Palestinian correspond
ent of the London Times reports that
the anti-Jewish forces are uniting to
oppose the Jewish occupation of the
country, and that they have pledged
themselves not to sell any land to the
Jews.
The only possible way in which a
Jewish state can be established in
Palestine without great blood-shed,
according to the Times correspondent,
is with the strong military support of
England. As the situation now stands,
the Christians would prefer to see the
Holy Land in the hands Of the Moham-
medans, rather than have it become
the homeland of the Jews.
Contending that this attitude is to
be deplored, the correspondent goes on
to say that in his opinion the demands
Of the Zionists are moderate, and that
there is no reason for this opposition
on the part Of Mohammedans or the
Christians.

NoNPARTlsANs IN ACTION

Inasmuch as Governor Burnquist OF
Minnesota has classified the nonpar-
tisan league along with the I. w w
and the socialists and branded the
three movements as dangerous to
Amerei. aud its government it is inter-
esting to note what is happening in
North Dakota where the league IS IN
control of state affairs. The league
dominates the legislature, has elected
its governor and league candidates were
elected as judges on the supreme
bench. The first thing the league
does is to announce that those
legislators who do not vote right on
the league program must leave the
state. In order that there may be no
misunderstanding the league officials
paper issues warning to the lawmak-
ers who might be tempted TO rebel,
saying:
"Let him prepare to leave North
Dakota. Let him lay his plans TO move
into some remote territory. North
Dakota will be too hot for him. He will
be remembered as --theJudas-- OF the
farmers movement. And If he has
children, let him reflect that he will
betray them, too that his treachery
will mean their name is forever dis
graced."
As for the economy Of the league

6Oe percent increase with a si70o0O00

ing to the Globe Gazette of Wahpeten'
