BITTER ANTI-SEMITISM IN
TESTS ALL GERMANY.

London: (By |. j. P. b. Anti-Sem-
itic feelings is so rife in Germany that
there is great fear OF pogrom out
breaks throughout the country. The
Jews are hated by all classes Of the
population, because they are held res
ponsible for Spartacian and for the
high cost Of living. In spite Of the
fact that the German government is
attempting to prevent pogroms, GER
tain German newspapers are offering
prizes for the best articles on anti
Jewish topics.
Daily attacks are made against
Jews, and in many university towns
the students have befallen the Jews.
Pogrom proclamations are spread
everywhere. In many bathing resorts
where Jews are guests, they have had
to appeal for military protection from
attacks.
In Berlin, the Won Hindenburg
status has become a rallying place for
all anti-Jewish demonstrations. A
placard has been attached to the stat
ue bearing the following inscription;
Hero, who has once saved our people,
we appeal to you in our great wrath
to take an iron hand and drive out all
the Jews from the land"
In giving the reasons for this grow
ing anti-Semitism, the London Morn
ing Post, itself anti-Jewish in spirit,
declares that the Jews are driving
Germany to revolution, that they
have boarded all the food in the coun-
try, which they are now selling at the
highest prices, and that wealthy Jews
are backing the Spartaeides with their
money.

given out an order to his officers "a

HUNGARIAN JEWS APPEAL TO
ENGLAND FOR HELP IN AV.
ERTING THREATENED
P0GR0MS.

London; (By |. J. P. b. DR.. Hevezy,
the chief rabbi Of Budapest, has ad-
dressed memorandum to the Eng
lish military mission in which he de-
clares that the Jews are being held
responsible for the misdeeds Of the
Bolsheviki, in spite of the fact that
the Jews suffered more than all 9th
ers as a result Of Bolshevist confisca-
tion and DEGREES. The Jews OF Buda-
pest appeal to the English mission for
reparation for the damage they have
undergone during the recent riots, and
for protection against future pogrom.
A new party has been founded in
Hungary, known as the Help for
Hungary party. II is reported that
every candidate for membership in
this party must take vow that he
will not rest until the last Jew in
Hungary has been annihilated. The
placards Of the party bear the sigma
lures Of three Roumanian censors.
Jacob Bleye, known as one Of the
most bitter OF the Hungarian anti
Semites, has been appointed Nation
atty Minister, a post which carries
authority over all Jewish affairs.

among the soldiers, his army Is re-
ported to be saturated with anti-Sem-
itism. They stop trains and insult
Jews frequently.
On the 18th Of August the first num-
Der of new daily paper appeared in
Berlin, with the open declaration that
its object was to spread anti-Semit-
ism. The Junkers and the Monarchists
appear to be responsible for the pres
ent situation, although the anti-Jew-
ish sentiment can be perceived among
all classes.

NEW POLISH ATROCITIES
AGAINST JEWS.

London: (By |. J. P. b. Along with
the reports Of banquets given by Pre-
mier Paderewski in honor Of Henry
Morgenthau, head Of the American
Commission to investigate the Jew
ish situation in Poland, advices con-
tinue to come from Poland concern
ing new outbreaks against Jews, and
the Polish press is again stirring up
antiJewish agitation.
Recent attacks upon Jews are re-
ported from several towns in Poland.
In Slupianova, near Kielcz, peasants
broke into a synagog and wrought
serious havoc. They demolished all its
contents and tore up the prayer-books
and Sephorim. By some miraculous
chance the Sefer Torahs remained
whole. Poles beat Jews and cut their
boards in Loshitz, near Siedlitz, and
similar attacks are reported to have
occurred in Demlin. Polish soldiers
boarded a train near Novivalkovisk,
cut off the boards Of the Jewish pas
sengers, and forced them to shout,
Long live Poland!" and "All Jews are
Bolsheviki."
A contribution Of 100000 kronen
was levied upon the Jewish Kehillah
Of Tam Masterzisk, Galicia, on the
pretext that Jewish girls had danced
with Ukrainian officers, that the
Jews had given ammunition to Uk-
rainian soldiers, and that shots had
been fired from the rabbits house at
the Poles. The Jews of the town were
also accused Of rejoicing over the ex-
ecution Of Polish officer by the Uk-
rainians on the charge that he had
threatened TO shoot the Rabbi and
twenty other prominent Jews.
Every day the Polish anti-Semitic
press comes forward with some new
accusation against the Jews, and with
implications that the patience Of the
Poles is at the breaking point, and
that therefore new pogroms may be
unpreventable. The Polish paper Diva
Grosha has published a sharp article
attacking the recently established mil
itary tribunals, which are 10 try and

MORGENTHAU COMMISSION FIN
ISHES INVESTIGATION INTO
WILMA POGROM.
Deputation of Jewish Merchants Beg
Aid in Industrial Rehabilitation
from America-Suggest Es-
tablishment of Ameri-
lean Bank as Means.

London, Aug. 19.-(By |. J. P. b.
As result of the investigation, last
ing seven days, into the details Of the
pogrom which occurred in wilma when
the Poles took that city from the Boil
sheviki, the Morgenthau Commission
has determined that seventy Jews
were killed and an untold number
wounded. II was also found that not
a single Pole lost his life in the So
called fighting against the Bolsheviki.
These facts were arrived at after the
examination Of 500 witnesses, and in
quiries into the cases Of $50 pogrom
victims.
Anti-Semitic documents and procla-
nations which the Poles spread in Viii
ma were also examined by Mr.. Nor
genthau. An investigation of the
prison hospital in wilma where a num-
Der of Jewish prisoners are interned
was made by Captain Gothard, a men,
ber of the Commissio, who found con-
ditions there very disgraceful. The
commission also made inquiries con-
cerning the circumstances surround
ing the death Of the Jew, Kravetzki,
who died as a result OF torture and
starvation in Byalstok, where he had
been dragged by the Poles.
An example of the extent to which
the material damage to Jewish prop
erty was carried, may be CLEANED from
the fact that the commissions investi-
cation proved the single establishment
Of Zalkind, large department store,
in wilma had suffered losses Of half a
million rubles during the pogrom.
The contrast between the former
state Of business prosperity in wilma
and the present industrial stagnation
was brought to the attention Of the
Morgenthau Commission by a deputa-
tion Of wilma merchants. The latter
suggested as practical step towards
trades rehabilitation, the founding OF
an American bank and also that the
Americans help by sending them raw
materials.
Mr.. Morgenthau assured the depu.
tation that on his return to Americs
!. he would do his part toward setting
in motion American forces for theil

WOMAN MEMBER

OLD SOLDIERS

OLYMPIA, Feb. 13 (by Associated
Press).-Mrs. Frances M Haskell,
"the lady from Pierce county," the
only woman member Of the 1919 Wash
ington legislature, came to the SEES
sion, she said recently, to try to help
improve the surroundings of the mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Re-
public who must rely upon the state
for their living.
Help beforehand rather than
after" is the creed Mrs. Haskell de-
clared she followed in her work for
the veterans. 81 hope to do things
for the G. A. R. homes and also to
help in public welfare work." she
said
Mrs. Haskell lives in Tacoma. In
politics she is Republican, and, ac-
cording to her friends and fellow mem
bers Of the lower house, her brand
of Republicanisnf is regular"
Speaker Fred A. Adams made Mrs.
Haskell chairman of the house COM
mittee on public morals, and also ap-
pointed her to the committees dele
gated to handle appropriations, edu-
cation, state soldiers and veterans
homes, state library, medicine, sur
gerry, dentistry and hygiene
Mrs. Haskell made friends on the
opening day of the session when she
introduced a resolution intended to
permit the men of the house to smoke
during the sittings. A Washington
rule makes it necessary for resolu-
ton to be passed before legislators
can smoke while at work making laws.
None OF the men wanted to introduce
the. resolution because Mrs. Haskell
was present, so she introduced it her.
SELF
In her G. A. H. work Mrs. Haskell
speaks with authority, for she is a
past president of the Tacoma branch
of the ladies' department of the vet
Grams organization.
She has been active for some time
in politics in Washington. When
Charles E. Hughes ran for the presi-
dency she organized women's clubs
for him throughout the state. At
present she is president of the Pierce
County Women's Political, Club.
