THE JEWS IN ITALY.

Italy is the land where Jews suffer
ed most in past times, as in the Ghetto
Or on the Corso of Rome, but where
they have had most liberty and ap-
probation in modern days since the
period of unification. Sara Nathan
was the friend of Mazzini and finap-
cially aided him in establishing those
secret societies which did so much to
bring about unity. She figures in Dis
raeli's novel ''Lothair," and hns had
IL municipal statue erected in her
honor. Her son, Erncsto Nathan, has
been mayor of Rome, Luzzatti, found
er of the Italian savings founder of
the Italian savings banks, has been
several times in the cabinet, especial
~ in the treasury department. The
late General Ottolenghi was minister
of war. Baron Sonnino, now or lately
foreign minister and attendant at the
peace conference is Of Jewish ex-
traction. The Dowager Queen Mar
sherita is Hebrew scholar. The Ital.
ian parliament at one time contained
more Jewish members than any like
body-Emanuel.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN
AMERICAN.

The Congregation of Salonika, which
Is prOportionately one Of the largest
in the world, supposed to comprise
two-thirls of the total population Of
the city, is looking for new Chief
Rabbi. The present occupant of the
office, Rabbi Jacob Meir, llns an
nounced his intention to retire, in or
der to spend the remainder of his days
in Jerusalem, his native city. Rabbi
Meir was elected the successor of the
late Haham Elyashar of Jerusalem IN
1906. Owing to ntrigues-intrigues
quite common under the old Turkish
regime--he was retired and elected
later Chief Rabbi of Salonika. which
position he held since 1907. As such
he lived thru all the political changes
and thru the trying times of the cap
ture of the city by Greek troops, and
now very likely feels the need of rest,
tho he can hardly be older than sixty
five. The most interesting feature in
connection with this event is that the
congregation appealed to Mr.. Adolph
Kraus, president of l. o. Il. b., with
request to find n successor in Ameri-
Gu. Candidates who, in addition to
raQbintcal learning. know modern
languages, especially French, are of
imposing appearance and know the
manners of Oriental Jews, will have II
wonderful chance for recognizing
this great and historic community
Israelite.

principally in the worship conducted

before this tragic event Jews had be-

and their commercial products and

Asia Minor and Egypt, event to mighty
Rome. In one year 139 b. c., the Jews
were eXiled from Rome, for the Roman
government feared the effects of the
democratizing teachings of the Jewish
religion. The New Testament speaks
Of the scribes and pharisees as com

Wherever the Jew went he built syng

therein, but also that all others might
