EVENTS OF 1918
PASSED IN REVIEW
World Found Great Difficulty in
Returning From War to
Peace Conditions.
MAKING The GERMAN TREATY
Europe In State of Ferment, While
the United States Was Struggling
With Grave Industrial and Eco
nomic Problems.
BY DONALD z. RIees.

After nearly five years of frightful
warfare. in which all Of the great pow
ers and many of the smaller nations
had been involved, the world found it
difficult to return to anything like nor
NAL conditions during the year 1919
While the armistice which was signed
in the closing weeks of 1918 brought
cessation of hostilities between the
two groups of nations that had been
engaged in the great struggle, it did
not bring peace to all the peoples in
Voived. Technically the world still
was at war throughout practically all
of the year just closed as the peace
treaty which was framed in Paris
after months of negotiation could not
be made fully effective until ratified
by the great powers and formally pro-
mulgated by the peace conference.
Failure of the United States senate to
ratify the treaty, because of opposition
to the covenant of the League of Ma
tons, which was made part of the
peace treaty, prevented the formal
declaration of peace until more than
year after the armistice was signed.
Internal disorders and territorial
disputes arising from the establish
ment of many new nations kept a
large part of Europe in turmoil. Such
complete remaking of the map of
Europe as resulted from the great war
naturally could not be accomplished
without friction. The great empire Of
Austria-Hungary had fallen to pieces
with the defeat of the central powers
and out of the wreckage new states
arose. These new nations-Austria.
Hungary, Poland and the Czech and
JugoSlav States-cOuld not establish
their new boundaries without friction
among themselves and with their
neighbors. The new government of
Germany. which had been transformed
into a republic. was striving to main
tain itself against the attacks of radi-
cal elements. Russia was torn by
civil strife, with half a dozen groups
fighting for the mastery. At times
world peace seemed still far off, but as
the year passed conditions became
more settled and 1t seemed probable
that with the formal PRONUNCIATION of
the peace treaty the chaos into which
Europe had been thrown would pass.
In the United States conditions were
not so unsettled as in the nations that
had been longer engaged in the war.
but here, as in Europe, the transition
from a war to a peace basis was not
easy. New industrial problems had
been created. The high cost of living
caused labor to make insistent and re-
peated demands for higher wages and
resulted in numerous strikes among
ali classes of workers. Radical lead
ers took advantage of the unrest that
existed to recruit their forces and
they became so active that the con-
stituted authorities of the nation
finally found it necessary to take de-
termined steps to suppress disloyal

The Making of Peace.


zatiOn of the peace congress were
taken on January II when, the su-
preme war council. members of which
were President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing of the United States, and the
premiers and foreign ministers of
Great Britain, France and Italy, to-
gether with Marshal Foch and mill
tary representatives of the several
powers, began actual consideration of
the terms Of peace to be imposed upon
the central powers. The peace con-
gress itself. without delegates from
the defeated powers or Russia, met in
the ministry of foreign affairs at
Paris on January 18. President Will
son proposed Premier Clemenceau for
permanent chairman Of the confer
ence and the delegates elected him by
unanimous vote. It was determined at
the beginning that only the five great
beiligerent powers. the United States.
Great Britain, France. Italy and Japan,
should take part in all meetings of the
conference and commission to be ap-
pointed that other belligerent and as
ISOLATED powers shou-~ participate
only in meetings at which questions
AS the representatives of the many
beIligerent nations entered upon the
task of bringing peace to the world
Europe was in turmoil. Poland was
being reconstructed and the fixing OF
her boundaries gave rise to many con-
troversies between the Poles and sur
rounding peoples. The question of
whether q League Of Nations should
be created as means of preventing
future wars was one Of the first TO be
taken up by the peace conference. On
January % the conference formally
declared in favor of the establishment
of a League of Nations, and a COM
mission, of which President Wilson
was chairman, was appointed to pre-
pare a definite plan. The League of
Nations commission held its first meet
ing on February 8 and on February IA
President Wilson read and explained
to the peace conference draft of the
constitution for the League of Nations.
The plan provided for an executive
council to be composed of representa-
tives OF nine nations and for an inter
national secretariat. It was provided
that decisions Of the executive council
should be enforced, If necessary, by
t'the prevention of ali financial, COM
mercial or personal intercourse" be
tween the nation falling to abide by
the decision and all other member
states Of the League Of Nations
On the same day that he presented
this plan to the peace conference Pres
ideRt Wilson sailed for the United
States to attend the closing sessions
OF congress at Washington. Opposi-
ton to the Incorporation of the League
of Nations covenant in the peace treaty
already had developed in this country.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

very remarkable statement is curious
to degree. The English Royal Fam
lily, we are told, traces its origin to
King David; therefore the Empress
Frederick was Jewess; therefore
William was Jew.
Another recent instance of the same
kind of argument is given in connec-
ton with Captain Won Kessel, who, by
the way, is himself a pillar of Jun
kerdom. But because his mothers
Christian name is Esther, Capt. Won
Kessel is written down as Jew by
the Deutsche Zeitung. The stupidity
of this propaganda clearly defeats it
self; but anti-Semitic activity in Ger
many takes on more practical shape.
The latest trick is to stick a printed
label, something larger than an or
binary postage stamp, on the back of
the paper currency. One of the
most widespread Of these anti-Semi-
tic seals contains poem in four lines
urging upon non-Jews to shut up
Jews in Ghettos.
Yet, the whole of German public
life does not appear to have been poi
soned by the anti Semitic. press. At
the Centre Party Conference, DIR.
Screiber, who read a paper on the
anti-Semitic movement in Germany
condemned the conduct of the anti
Semites and concluded with the state
ment that "the anti-Semitic movement
is at bottom un- Christian; politically
it is utterly useless and fearfully
dangerous. We therefore expect our
party press, which takes Christianity
seriously, to desist from anti-Semi-
tic agitation"

THE SABBATH BILL BEFORE
THE NEW YORK LEGIS-
LATURE.

Renewal of the fight on the part of
the Jewish constituency of the State
of New York began anew when the
Assembly Codes Committee held a
public hearing on the Sabbath Bill
No. 80, introduced by Assemblyman
Samuel Dickstein at the instance of
the Jewish Sabbath Alliance of Amer
lea (Agudas Am Israel and Tomchai
Fifth Avenue, New York City. !;
Rev. DR.. Bernard Drachman, Presi-
dent of the Jewish Sabbath Alliance
of America, explained to the Com
mittee that Jewish citizens who are
fulfilling all the duties as such should
at least be given the same recogni-
ton by the State lawmakers as is ac-
corded the Christian citizens of the
State. That the State should not
force these Sabbath Observers to
abandon their Day of Rest and take
up another which is altogether
strange to them. He also mentioned
that the Sabbath Alliance received
number of petitions endorsing the
Sabbath Bill from the Christian
Clergymen who thought that this
would in no way interfere with Sun
day, the Christian Day of Rest, and
that this bill is meant only for the
conscientious Seventh Day Sabbath
Observers.
The delegation headed by DR..
Drachman consisted Of representa-
tives of a number of Jewish and nom
Jewish organizations. Some of them
were: William Rosenberg, Secretary
of the Jewish Sabbath Alliance, J..
H. Luria, Morris Asofsky; User Roz-
mix, Raphael Savitzky and Counsellor
Shonzeit of the Eldridge Street
Merchants Association. Rabbis M.
S. Margolis, Siegel and Rosenberg of
the Union of Orthodox Rabbis; Coun-
sellor Harry Fromberg represented
the Union of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America. Miss Bendel1
of the Council of Jewish Women and
Rev. DR.. Melamed of the Union of
Synagogues. DR.. Victor A. Nelson,
a Christian Minister of Beacon, N. Y,
represented the non-Jews of the State
and put before the Committee the
attitude his co-religionists take to.
this measure. After telling the Com
mittee of his twelve years experience
with the Sabbath Question, he told
them, that this bill is not only meant
for the Jewish Sabbath Observers
but also for the great amount of
Christians who observe the Seventh
