DISCONTINUE OF AN ANTI
semitic.


Bremen (By I. J. P. b. In literary
review of a brochure by Rabbi Dr..
Rosenach, the. editor of the anti-Semitic
weekly, Good German" questioned the
truth of the statement that many Jewish
families had sent seven or eight sons
to the war, and declared that he was
ready to give, 1000 marks to anyone who
would prove that any single Jewish ia
mily had had three sons on the battle
field at the same time. This statement
was published in the Jewish papers, and
numerous letters have already been re-
ceived with official documents proving
that Jewish. families have had five, six,
seven and even eight sons at the front
at the same time. Now the question
arises whether the anti-Semitic editor
will keep his word and pay the thousand
marks as he promised

PURIM.

Purim will be, observed Wednesday
evening, March 3rd, and the following
day in synagog and social circles of the
Jewish community. The miraculous es-
cape of the people of Israel from a dire
fate in the Persian Empire, as told in
the Scriptural story, became in course
of time reflection of the very exist
ence of the Jewish people whose lives
were constantly in jeopardy. The read
ing of the scroll of Esther was accom-
panied by a quaint display of commenda-
ton and condemnation on the part of
the congregation. Hannah, the arch enc
my of. Israel, was rhetorically derided
with Mordecai, the savior of the people,
and Queen Esther were as Justify ap-
plauded.
The celebration of Purim was always
in mirthful vein. In the darkest per-
iod of Jewish history the feast of Purim
served as an outlet for pent-up spirits to
indulge in frolic and gayety The tradi-
tional attitude toward the feast of Purim
is still retained among Jewish congrega-
tons who utilize the day for social en-
joyments and as means of remember
ing the needy and those in distress by
sending them gifts that gladden. their
hearts.
In all Jewish families the festive spirit
is emphasized by serving extra delica-
cies at meal time and by participating
in whatever social activities the commu-
nifty has prepared.

ten in the light of later information. I
referred to the CONSERVATION caused by
the alterations that were made in the
Treaty at the last moment. But when
the full extent of the alterations became
known the anxieties were greatly re-
lieved, for it was found that the con-
cessions which had been made to induce
the Roumanian Government to sign
were in reality little more than nominal.
Roumania is now bound by treaty not
only to recognize all her Jewish sub
jects as full Roumanian citizens but also
to grant them, in common with the 9TH
er racial minorities of Roumania, old
and new, minority rights. 1t is to be
hoped that this treaty will secure greater
respect than Roumania granted to its
predecessor but it is to be regretted
that on this point pessimism is by no
means unjustifed. The news from Rou-
mania since the signature of the Treaty
shows that the Jewish clauses are being
received in the governing circles with
a very bad grace and there is great dan
ger lest they remain dead letter. AS
in Poland and also in other countries
the written word, although signed and
sealed, may yet lack life. 1t is change
of heart, not of handwriting that is re-
CURED. Unfortunately all the peering of
which normal sighted human being is
capable can find practically no trace of
that as yet.
This statement applies to Poland as
we'll as to Roumania. Last month (too
late for mention in my previous letter.
Sir Stuart Samuel arrived in Paris on
his way back from Poland. He had not
yet made his report to the Government
by whom he had been commissioned and
that report if it has now been made has
not yet been published. 1t would be
improper therefore to divu1ge any of the
conclusions at which Sir Stuart arrived
in the course of his three months ex-
animation of the Po1ish-Jewish question
at its fountain head. One thing I can
say and that is that after exhaustive en-
quiries the general conclusion at which
he has arrived is pessimistic. In the
case of Sir Stuart Samuel, whose buoy
ancy of temperament is patent to all
who come into contact with him, this
means much more than in the case of
man who was accustomed to look at
life through darker spectac1es.
Sir Stuart spent few days in Paris
before he proceeded to England and
took advantage of the opportunity to
meet the Comite DIES Delegations Juives
here. He gave then full account of
his mission and of the conclusions at
which he had arrived. He received
cordial welcome from the Comite who
realize the very valuable services he has
given to the Jewish cause and he has

it is possible close cooperation be-
tween the Board of Deputies of which

he will speedily return to resume his
position at the head of the Zionist Com
mission there. In the meanwhile his
presence will be required in Paris where
the question of the treaty with Turkey
of which the settlement of Pales-
tine is an integral part is being
taken up in earnest. No one can say
how long the intricate negotiations that
will ultimately eventuate in the Treaty
will last and after the long delay and
the many dsappointments from which
we have suffered one is chary of prophe-
sying. Yet one need not be dubbed an
optimist if one looks forward to the
completion of the Treaty before the be-
ginning Of March If that were so the
world would have to wait perhaps a
little longer for it's signature and ratif-
cation. Moreover perhaps the terms of
the Mandate would have still to be set
tied. But this would not be matter for
the Peace Conference or for Paris.

Baseball Magnates
Less Sentimental

Big league baseball magnates may
pay better salaries today than ever
before in the history of the bame,
| but it is doubtful if the magnates
will do more, for their star players
than the owners of few years back,
when there was admittedly more
sentiment in the game than at the
present time.
Nap Lajoie, former big league star,
was discussing this particular phase
| of the baseball situation recently,
when he recited some dope about the
one time star Dave Foutz hurler of
the SOS, who was for some years the
real backbone of the ST. Louis team
under Chris Van der Abe. Lajoie used
| the Foutz case to prove that the
magnates of yesterday did not cease
to assist their players, even tho
their contracts called for a certain
amount and this certain amount mao
been paid
| According to Lajoie, Dave F'outz
was a born gambler, and an un1ucky
one. Back in 1887. so the yarn goes.
the st. Louis team had closed it's
season and Won der Abe was making
out checks for the players. Foutz
had the munificent sum Of $1,000 due
him. Dave took his check and left for
home.
| A month or two later Chris re-
ceived a wire from his star Finger
asking an advance of $500 on rrc co:-
lowing seasons contract Won der
(, Abe sent the money without a whim
per. A few weeks later another tele-
gram arrived, this time seeking a
touch" for 5000. This was sent with
out comment. The next day another
| wire asking for S100 was received and
| this was dispatched to the star with
no other comment than that "Davey"
must have been gambling on the pom
les. Foutz made the touches right the
| following season.
Despite the fact that Foutz was a
star. Lajoie expressed doubt that
many of the moguls Of the present
time would "come thru" for a player
under similar circumstances. Base
ball today is a business proposition
pure and simple" said Lojoie, "and
the magnates don't care to be both
| cred with advance touches after they
have paid off for the season" Foutz's
| best year was 1887. In that campaign
he pitched thirty-seven games, won
twenty five of them, batted 1892,
| fielded $40 and took part in 1913 con-
tests He was a real speed merchant
on the base paths, and was one of
| the few hurlers of his time who
could really hit the ball.
