Berlin (By I. j. P. B.)-Herr

German anti-Semitism and the pres

the country, and threatened that if
the Nationalist continued their

streets the Jewish defense compa-
MES encountered them and created
them with blows. The bandits bare
1y escaped with their lives. Many
Of them were left with fractured
skulls, broken hands and fetal
most dead on the streets. The COM
mand of the defense then organized
patrols on the Jewish streets, and
not single Gentle could go thru
them without permission of the
sentry. On the next day the bandits
were reorganized, and again at
tackled the Jewish districts, in larg-
er numbers, but they met with the
same fate. David J. David, Jew
ish boy, fell victim in this pogrom.
The entire Jewish population
mourned his death, and he was
given an imposing funeral. tits true
that we defended ourselves ca
pab1y, but we suffered much from
the pogrom. At last the government
interfered and established order Our
defense not only gained us the re-
spect of many Gentiles but also
brought terror into the hearts of the
bandits. Now, we no longer fear
a pogrom-they simply won't dare
to make one. When Jews show that
they can also give licking, there is
reason to fear them"
The news that the Jews took their
defense into their own hands and
that they vanquished their foe,
created a sensation all over the
country. Owing to the activity of
the censor, at the order of the gov
eminent, the newspapers wrote very
little of the event, and the news of
the attempted pogrom at Bucharest
never crossed the Roumanian
boundaries.
The Bucharest Jews believe that
their brave defense would make
pogroms impossible in the future. In
the other cities where the Jews could
not organize themselves they suf-
fered much from the pogroms. and
these pogroms I will describe in
later articles.

pea1ed to the government and we
came to the conclusion that it would
not protect us. There was only one
expedient for us, that we should de-
fend ourselves, and we decided to do
so.
"We quietly organized the Jew
ish veterans in the entire Jewish
quarter. We divided them into
companies, each in charge of an Of.
fcer. Everybody was given night
stick, some a pick-axe, and others
were armed with revolvers. Each
company was assigned definite
place, and a system of signals was
agreed upon by means Of which the
men could be sent to any destina-
ton desired. Every one realized
that if he did not on this occasion
defend himself and the rest Of the
Jews, this pogrom would mark the
beginning of series of pogroms.
We felt that our future depended
on our ability to defend ourselves,
and were prepared for the worst. We
decided, however, only to defend
ourselves and in no case to attack.
Not a single one of us was to at
tack the Roumanian Christian shops
or homes in the Jewish quarters, but
were to defend ourselves against
those who would attack us. The po-
grom began on November 18th. At
night a band of ruffans began to
terrorize and beat the Jews where
ever they saw them-on the streets,
on the cars, in restaurants, etc. After
that they went thru Calea Wacar-
esti, a Jewish street, and began to
break heads and windows, entered
many shops and began to plumber.
Among those who suffered serious
losses in their stores were Josef
Weiss, As Ca1ea Wacaresti, Abra-
ham Rosenzweig, 40 Calea Wacar-
esti, Simon Gold, Steinberg's print
ing shop, Bernard Leibowitz and
others.
ct have a list of 40 merchants who
suffered from the pogrom. When
the band had arrived at the Old
Market, several of our companies
had already been modified and met
them; they attacked the invaders
and beat them to a FRAGILE Our Jew
ish defenders broke skulls, hands
hands and feet, and beat them up as
best they could. A great number of
the bandits fell on the streets un-

OUR ovERDIScIPLINED ARMY

ONE of the most surprising charac-
~ teristics of almost every returned
soldier is his frank detestation of the
military regime as he encountered it in
the persons Of young officers in France.
Objection to the hard and impossible line
that divides commissioned and noncom-
mlssoned men is finding expression
cverywhere-in print, at congressional
inquiries, in general conversation.
1t was to have been expected that pri-
Yates who in civil life were professional
men college graduates or types of the
independent and well-trained citizen who
is the stablizing factor in American life,
would DC irked and affronted by months of
subjcction to rules of conduct based upon
lines Of division established between
soldiers centuries ago, when every Off
Ger was per Sc a gentleman and every
private yokel or serf. But the nature
of current criticism indicates that there
was too much discipline in the army
more, indeed, than the French themselves
required among their own men and more
than the Australian forces felt called
upon to maintain.
The behavior G: a good many officers
new from the training camps toward en-
listed men, if the testimony of the re-
turned soldier is to be accepted at its
face value. was often harsher than that
of the West Pointers themselves. There
was a camaraderie between the French
officer and his poilu which seems not to
have existed between the American junior
officer and the men of his command. AS
the inquiry at Washington proceeds it is
apparent that our system of army disci
pline is not calculated to the needs or
the spirit Of a democratic army. 1t needs
to be revised not only in the matter of
courts martial, but in various other ways,
with view to giving every enlisted man
full opportunity to maintain his self
respect.
"Take from the officers the right to sit
back, cigar in mouth, and rag a man
forced to stand at attention." writes one
ex-private who has just returned to his
law practice in New York after partici-
patng in some of the heaviest fighting
that Americans knew. That sentence i'm
plies much. If we are to maintain in
this country a general enthusiasm for the
military service, Congress and Mr.. Baker
and the President ought now to bring the
system Of discipline up to date.

INGRATlTUDE OF REPUBLICS

DLANS are making to give $5OO,0O0
L each to Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig and Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty,
and to raise each of them to an earldom.
This is the way they reward their heroes
in England, from John Churchill, who was
made the Duke of Marlborough, through
Alfred Wellesley, who received money
award and the title of the Duke of We'll
lington, down to General Roberts, raised
to the peerage with an earldom and
grant of money.
Yet Congress is delaying action on the
suggestion of the President that Pershing
and March be made full generals and
Sims and Benson be made full admirals, to
hold that rank in active service for life.
If a grant of money were proposed the
whole country would be scandalized.

'.BLAcK DIAMONDS" is RIGHT

0NE hundred and three mining plants
~ in the Fairmont and Clarksburg
mining districts in West Virginia were
shut down temporarily recently for lack
81 cars.
Labor and car shortages have made it
impossible to catch up with Navy De-
pArtrnent orders for smokeless coal in
the Charleston, W. Va, district.
Two interesting little industrial items
land neither of them in accord with re-
cent declarations that if householders did
not order coal there would be shortage
next winter-the presumption being that
failure to order was the only reason for
the failure to mine.
But, cheer up! Coal has gone up ten
cents ton. And there1I be enough coal
mined if the price goes high enough.

GET ON THEIR TRAIL

MINE out Of ten bank clerks who have
= gone wrong have been spending
money on wine, women and jazz. Their
employers were apparently ignorant or
Indifferent about the manner Of life of
the young men outside Of banking hours,
and they professed surprise when the dis
closure came, along with the news that
the clerks had made way with the money
in their care.
If the men responsible for the manage
merit of the banks in the whole state have
not been moved to learn all about the
private life of their clerks-although we
suspect most of them have--it is about
time they got on their trail. If $25

WHAT NEXT?

THE first anniversary of the first
= launching at Hog Island was observed
yesterday by launching the forty seventh
vessel built in the yard.
The tonnage produced in twelve months
is 367,775, greater amount than was
ever before produced in single shipyard
in the same time.
But what Philadelphia wants to know is
what is to become of this great ship
building plant and railroad terminal and
congeries of piers.
1t can be used for the development of
the water-born trade of this port or it
can be allowed to fall into disuse, while
the business goes to other cities. There
has been more talk than action about the
future of Hog Island. How long will it
be before the words are changed into
deeds?

JUST CLOTHES

TLOTHlNG may not make a soldier but
the army officers have discovered that
# goes long way in that direction. At
Camp Dix and other rehabilitation cen.
ters tailors are measuring the men as
they are discharged to discover the pro-
portions of a group of typical figures for
the measurements of the uniforms to be
made In the future.
During the war it was noted that the
morale of the men depended in a large
degree upon the cut and fit of their
clothes. A man with a good fitting suit
carried himself well and had a proper re-
spect for himself. The men compelled to
wear Hitting uniforms became slouchy
in bearing and indifferent.
But there is nothing new in this. Give
, tramp clean shave and hair cut and
dress him in a well-ftting new suit of
clothes and he becomes a different man
Instantly. Send a man out on a business
errand dressed well and he will take the
message to Garcia nine times out of ten
sand out sloven and he will come back
with the report that he could not put the
tHIf1x across. The psychological value of
cl0lhcs is immeasurable.
The women have been joked about il
M ysars. They gay that woman wear.

not be able to concentrate her mind on
anything but what the women behind her
are thinking of her dressmaker.
Men are just as susceptible as women
to the influence of their clothes. Canny
employers consider the way an applicant
is dressed as one of the indications Of the
character as the man, because they know
that if a man does not appreciate the
value to his own morale of good clothes
he will not appreciate their value to his
employers business.
When Carlyle wrote his philosophy of
clothes he got hold Of truth which Is not

RAISE THIS PAY FIRST

<WHEN compared with the demands of
~ the members of the railroad brother
hoods, the increase in pay asked by the
members of the local fire department is
modest indeed.
The locomotive firemen are asking for a
minimum wage of $500 a year. The
members of the fire department certainly
deserve as good pay as the mon who
shovel coal into locomotive frebox. But
they are asking for a minimum of only
$500 and maximum of $1,000. If this
il granted to them they will receive less
than is paid in the small city of Lowe
Mass. They ought to get what they ask
