Anti and Pro-Jewish Demonstra-

Svinemuende, Germany (By I.
J. P. B. i'm this seaside resort
large demonstration was
staged by the anti Semites
against the Jews. Among the
demonstrants there were many
soldiers. National hymns were
sung and played and many
speeches were made containing
threats against the Jewish sum-
mer guests. Everything looked
like a preparation for real po-
grom. The police, however.
soon appeared in full armor and
put an end to any pogrom activ-
ity.
A week afterwards the work
men of the town arranged dem
onstration against the anti
Semites. In a proclamation to the
people, the workers pointed out
how the anti-Semitic agitation

The pro-Jewish demonstration

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
On entering the dignifed State
Capital in the city of Sacra-
mento, California, the visitor
gazes on a large and artistic
statue. Queen Isabella is rising
from her throne, removing her
necklace to hand it to Christopher
Columbus who kneels before
the throne. Nearly every school
in California teaches that Column
bus received jewels from the
queen which he sold and thus OBJ
tanned funds to undertake the
journey west. This is mere fc-
ton. "Not jewels but Jews dis
covered America" We are not
agreed that Columbus was a Jew,
as some think, pointing out that
his birthplace is not known.
They say that Columbus purpose
ly covered this fact with doubt,
lest the birth records of his ma
tive city might disclose his reli-
gious affiliation and prevent his
plans from maturing. We are
positive about other details, one
being that without the aid of the
banker Santegal, Columbus could
never have financed his trip.
Many Jews helped him. His sur
geon was a Jew, so was the COM
pass maker, and also the interpre-
ter. The first sailor to sight land,
and the first step on the island
of San Salvador were Jews.
The past week we celebrated
the birthday of Columbus. Let
us remember that without Jewish
support, he would have lived and
died an obscure European.-Dr.
Rudolph I. Coffee in The Senti-
mel.

Rare Bird.

Says the Morgantown New Do
minion:
"The CIarksburg Telegram has
sprung the biggest guess on the
Varsity football coach to date by
spreading the first page of its Sun
day sport section with a Glenn War
Nor rumor. 1t seems that somebody
rushed through town Saturday and
left the idea in his wake. How
ever, since its all q matter Of guess
work, there is no particular reason
why the kilograms guess isn't as
good US that OF any one else. To
say the least, it's shooting pretty
high. The only fly in the ointment
is that Adam says Glenn Warner
was signed for five years last fall
at stipulated salary OF $4,000 per
annum, not "hars." And when a
man Is worth that much to an In
stitution, it would take pretty
hefty competitive bidding to loosen
the hold on his services. Incident
ally at that figure, Glenn Warner
is worth more to Pitt than Vice
President Marshall is to the Uni
ted States by about 10000. Any
body can be vice president but
Warmers are rare on this side OF

Sport Chatter
Activity Soon,

Just as soon as the Christmas
season is over there will be enough
basketball going on around these
diggins to satisfy the most rabid
fan. In fact there are so many
basketball teams ready to go into
battle that they may step on each
others feet before the end Of the
season. We have the high school
team, the Normal team, the Y. M.
C. A. team and the city league
teams, with q few tournaments and
special games booked before the
time that baseball again heads the
sport field. The Monongahela val
ley high school tournament will be
held hero under the auspices OF
the Normal school late in February
and promise5 to be even larger and
more successful than the one
staged here last winter.

YAKIMA RESERVATION
HAS II MILLION CROP

SPOKANE, Wash. July 31.-L NJ.
Holt, superintendent OF the Yakima
Indian reservation, in a preliminary
report, says there are 1858 acres un-
der cultivation on the Yakima Indian
reservation. an increase of 415S acres
over a year ago. A conservative esti-
mate places the probable value of the
crop at s11.000.O00. Alfalfa alone
will bring more than $4,000, 900. The
reservation fruit crop Is figured at
half of the 1919 production, but
at $3.50 return per acre will bring
s635.s65. while the potato crop. from
present indications, will be worth at
least $3.50. 900. A stock census of the
reservation shows 2s6 milch cows
more than a year ago, and an Increase
of 211 in the number of horses. There
are 1876 tractors in use on the reser-
vation.
