PREJUDICE AGAINST JEWS
GROWS IN CENTRAL EUROPE
Anxiety Caused in Capitals of Prussia, Bavaria, Aus
tria and Hungary-Blamed by Ignorant
for Wave of Boshevism

airy agitators and others, who lost
property taken by the Bolshevists,
are endeavoring to place the respon-
sibility chiefly on the Jews, who are
accused Of being the chief leaders Of
the extreme radical movement in most
countries. In view Of this steadily
rising tide Of anti-Semitism the better
class Jews and those who are most
influential are being urged publicly
to cut loose from the radical MEM
bers Of the race by denouncing Boil
shevistic agitation and to do all they
can to check the growing influence
Of the class known here as Russian
and Galician Jews" who were the
leaders in the Munich and Budapest
Soviet movement.
Unscrupulous agitators, besides en-
deavoring to identify BoIshevism as a
Jewish movement, also are trying to
arouse feeling among the ignorant by
attributing the high prices of everyo
thing to the Jews. The German Gov-
ernment is watching the situation
closely.

Cooperation Of U. S.sWill Be

Speedy Action Against Car
rama Is Planned to Pro-
tect Interests.
Special pespu,ch TO TIE suS.

WASHINGTON. Aug. lin view OF
the fact that the League OF Nations
Is not yet in operation the British
Government will deal with First Chief
Carranza through the Government OF
the United States.
There will be no attempt to antici-
pate the league by taking this Ameri-
can question out of American juris-
diction and asking European Powers
to dictate the policy to be pursued
Officials here expect the following
steps to be taken by Great Britain the
moment 1t becomes evident that Car
rama is really placing British in
terests in jeopardy:
First-Consolidation with the Gov
ernment Of the United States as TO
the methods which Britain believes
should be employed.
Second-Speedy carrying into ef-
feet whatever policy the British de-
eide upon after obtaining the tacit
approval OF the American State De-
partment.
Third-Despatch of British war
ships to Mexican waters.
The action of Carranza in expelling
William Cummings. the British Charge
d'Affaires, from Mexico, generally is re-
garded as forecasting an out and out
breach between Carranza and the Brit
ish Government To some OF the diplo-
mats this forecasts the downfall of the
Carranza regime in Mexico in the rela-
lively near future. The methods which
the British may employ to bring this
about are not yet clear. but 1t Is re-
garded as not improbable that Mexico
may be to all intents and purposes cut
Off from Europe II the anti-British at
titude of Carranza persists. and the ulti-
mate result of this would admittedly
mean the necessity for a change OF gov
eminent in Mexico city.
It is understood here that France is
ready and willing to cooperate with
Great Britain in any methods directed
against Carranza by the British. The
French long have held that the situation
in Mexico had become so uncertain as
practically to endanger all European
interests.

ceived here that the aviators were be-
Ing held at a point close to the Ameri-
can border, and that Caico Cano, a IA
nous bandit of the Big Bend Ojinaga
district, was the leader of the band
holding the aviators.
The whereabouts of the bandit rem
devious. from which the American
aviators were believed to have sent
their message. is unknown here. Be-
cause Of the rugged. rough nature of
the country south OF the border. loca-
ton of the bandits camp by airplanes
would be almost impossible.
There are many box canyons IN
which they could hide without being
detected from the air or by Mexican
cavalry searching for them.
Dawkins fitzpatrick of Candelaria,
Tex. sent message to the Mexican
bandits late tonight urging them TO post
pone the time limit fixed in the demand
for the payment OF $4,000 ransom for
the release of Iieuts. Davis and Peter
son until Wednesday. because OF delay
in receiving their demand at the border.
A message from a former Villa fol-

was received at the border late to-day
threatening to kill the American avia-
tors IL any evidence Of military move
ments TO search for the Americans was
seen on the American side of the border.

Mark Time.

Planning the campaign for the COM
ing week occupied both sides in Broad
ways feud yesterday. The theatrical
managers spent a large part of yes
terday in a secret conference on the
actors strike, which was reported to
have taken place on the yacht of
Col. Henry w. Savage though since
their whereabouts were reported from
source close to the managers them
selves, this was looked upon as a stage
setting, designed to throw the Equity
of the trail.
While heads OF the stage hands
union stated they would not cali out
their men in other theatres for the
present officials Of the Actors Equity
Association were apparently more con-
cerned yesterday with the outcome of
the parade and the first benefit per-
formance at the Lexington Theatre to-
day than they were with the outcome
OF the strike. The Winter Garden
performance was unhindered last
night.
The parade, it is estimated, will be
participated in by about, 1000 thespians
OF both sexes, making the greatest dis
play OF dramatic talent ever seen. About

Transfer of Valuable Property

The law firm of Stoll and O'Bryan
has recently purchased from the own
er. Mr.. Jno. Fulton, the lot and old
frame building situate on Main
street at the Northeast corner of
court house square. The present
building, while practically worthless,
is an old landmark and has served
as a domicile for various enterprises,
and was the birth place of The Coun-
ty Record in 1855, we understand.
But this building will be torn down
and a modern law office erected on
the site by the new owners. The
proximity of the location to the
court house and Jail (since it is true
that lawyers have to go to jail some
times-to visit prisoner-clients) make
it a most desirable one, and Messrs.
Stoll and O'Bryan are to be congrat-
ulated upon their acquisition of the
property as a site for an office
building.

Madam Marie Rappold. of the Met
ropolitan Opera Company, demon
Strated Friday night in the Audito-
riurl that the inventor has attained
such perfection in reproducing the
human voice that it was actually
impossible for a large invited audi
ence to distinguish between the prl-
ma donna's voice and the Edison Re
Creation of it.
Those in the audience familiar
with Madam Rappold's voice were a
trife astonished-the voice they
heard seemed unquestionably hers,
although they faced the visible evl-
dence of her closed lips. Then Mad
am Rappold's lips opened, and her
voice poured out. There were two
voices in the Auditorium now. Here
It became evident that. although
Madam Rappold was singing, her
voice was matched so perfectly by
the voice in the cabinet that it was
impossible to distinguish between
the two"
