many in the war than for Austria.
On the other hand, the officers Of
other races Of the former monarchy
would invariably think of their own
national independence than Of any
Austrian victory, and would not in
frequently act against Austrian in
terests. But the Jewish officer felt
at that time only a strong Aus
tria would secure for him real e1ual-
ity and domestic peace. The Jew
looked therefore at Austria's victory
as a matter Of grave concern to him
personally, and undertook to perform

all that lay in his power to bring
about such a victory. We are ia
miliar with the call to arms in the
form Of a patriotic Jewish poem, en-
titled "The Maccabeans,' written by
a young Jewish Austrian sub-lieu-
tenant. His Cavalry Song was re.
cited all over the Austrian army and
will be known as the great war poem
that issued from the pen Of Ger
many lyrist.
Another circumstance may bring
pride TO the Jewish officer. The rec

mitism, not only by way Of finding
1t hard to reach a higher rank in the
army, but, what is worse, in the very
performance of his daily routine du-
ties. The hardest and most danger
Gus posts were usually assigned to
Jews, very often for sheer wicked
ness. Here is an illustrations: The
Jewish lieutenant X. Ia bank clerk
in civilian life), Of the 95th Infantry
Regiment is given the command dur
ing the Carpathian battle to withdraw
from the Russian lines with the 60
men in his sub-company. The sub
company does not withdraw in
manner pleasing to the commander
Of the battalion Of which it forms a
part. He calls down the officer,
charges him with leading his COM
pany in "Jewish" order, and asks him
to 60 through the performance
again. The officer obeys the COM
mand and starts his company anew,
but with the same result. Three
times the poor harassed soldiers go
back and forth in formation, until at
last the advance Of the Russians
makes it impossible for the company
to withdraw and Russian bullet
puts an end to the incessant chican-
cry Of the Jewish lieutenant. This
is only one Of the many instances Of
useless destruction Of Jewish life by
superior officers Of the Austrian ar
my.
An important part was played by
the Jewish officers in the intellectual
life Of the battlefield. Aside from
the fact that both in the military in
telligence bureaus and fields news
papers, Jews had the overwhelming
majority, Jews were likewise active
in the higher commands and the staffs
of divisions. In many strategic plans
of the Austrian army command there
was TO be found evidence Of Jewish
energy and resourcefulness. How
often has Jewish ability turned de-
feat into victory! Here is an illus
tration; 1t happened in the princi-
pal office Of the general staff Of the
Albanian army. Major Of the Gen.
eral Staff X, Hungarian converted
Jew, placed before the command his
plan for an offensive. He also pre-
scented another plan for an offensive
prepared by the then editor Of a
comic field paper, "Papadhatsi." A
Hungarian Jewish first lieutenant,
asked by the chief Of the general
staff what difference there was be-
tween the two plans, replied: 1.-THE
water, your excellency. He thought
of the difficulties connected with the
crossing Of the river near Durazzo,
but he proably had in mand the fact
that the baptismal water had some
thing to do with the sitting Of the
majors mind. In the end the plan Of
the Jewish lieutenant was accepted,
and as result the position Of the
Austrian army advanced toward Va
Iona and down TO the Lake Of 0chrida.
The question Of uniform language
was a severe problem for the Austro-
Hungarian army command. A coun-
try Of so many races and rationale
ties as the former monarchy was
must needs suffer from n severe lack

of coordination and discipline. The
language Of all command was Ger
man, except for the Hungarian militia
troops, "Honved." But the soldier
had to be taught how to shoot in his
mother tongue. Here the Jewish Of
ficer showed his real worth. Nearly
every Jewish officer in the Austro-
Hungarian army spoke German in ad-
dition to the language of the prov
ince he had come from-the Galician
Jew spoke Polish and Ukranian, the
Hungarian, Croatian and Slovak, etc.
The Jewish officer was, therefore,
able in every regiment to communi-
cate with the soldiers in their mother
tongue and best train them for eff
ficient service in the army.
But in the field of battle itself,
Jewish knowledge Of languages was
Of great help. "The army lives on
the war;" was one Of Napoleon's IA
nous sayings, by which he meant
that wherever the soldier comes, he
is to be furnished with food, quarters
and all his needs. Even the modern
war is carried on in the same man
ner. But to obtain all these supplies,
a knowledge of the language Of the
province is Of prime Importance.
Here it was again the Jewish officers
who brought together German and
Hungarian commanders and the ma
tives in Slovak districts. II was par
ticularly important in the occupied
regions Of Russia. Russian Jews
themselves were very valuable for
the German-Austrian invasion. I'M
mediately upon occupation, the con-
queror found a population that I'M
derstood in some way the language
Of the victor. Where, however, it
was necessary to have personal con-
tact with the population, in recon-
noitering, acquisitions, settling Of
Disputes with a foreign population,
etc, il was again the Jewish officers
who were best to fill the posts Of that
nature.
Other countries adopted the same
system Of sending Jewish officers
wherever their knowledge of Ian
guages was Of necessity. Jewish Of
ficers were thus used in the Turkish
army on the Palestinian front, and
even in Albania, where the language
was barely known to anyone, it was
again the Jewish officers who were
first to learn the weird idiom.
Confidence placed in Jewish officers
was great, and not once a case was
discovered where it had been i'll placed
or where suspicion was attached to
a Jewish officers official conduct.
The seriousness with which they car
ried out their tasks was always a
shining example for others. So Il
was in Brest Litovsk in the guarding
Of the headquarters Of Field Marshal
Hindenburg. When Austria was
called upon to furnish three honorary
guard officers for personal service
with Hindenburg, the officers chosen,
one army doctor and two first lieu
tenants (of whom the author was
one), were Jews.
Even in exhortations to fight and
the inspiration Of courage into troops
the Jews did their share. The Ger
man-Austrian officer always showed
more enthusiasm for the part Of Ger

practically impossible to secure any

the lack of any demand by the pc opie

NOT expect and we certainly are not
going to get any response on mat
