all the difference between the two re-
ligious parties, who were one IN con-
demning his people. He was proud OF
his descent from a tribe which though
scattered, banished, martyred, plum
dered and humiliated for thousands Of
years by Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian
kings, Roman emperors, Scandlnav-
ian crusaders, Gothic chiefs and holy
inquisitors, had still held their own,
had kept their race pure and remained
to this day irrepressible, inexhausti-
BILE, indispensable, full of energy and
genius.
The "Assimilationist" and the
patriot"
Our own time is not lacking in
Jews of the ultra-modern type who
would reproach Disraeli for regarding
himself as an Englishman to at least
the same degree that he felt himself
the representative of Judaism. Ger
tain persons gladly give the abusive
name of assimilationist to everyone
of Jewish origin who takes part in
the intellectual and political activities
of his native or adopted land. This
sickly attempt to sow hatred against
such men is based on the assumption
that they feel their extraction as
disgrace and desire to conceal it. Such
an accusation is ridiculous, especially
as the men so accused are reproached
with their origin by thousand voices
from the first step on the stage of life.
Even if they sought to conceal their
race it would be hopeless task. The
first word from their critics at every
opportunity points out their Jewish
origin.
As to Disraeli, this charge is par
ticularly absurd. Even as Lord Bea-
consfield he never disclaimed his
race, the name of which was origi-
nally comprised in his own.
The Rise of Zionism.
The Frenchmen, Germans, ETC., of
Jewish extraction-to whom this ex-
traction had for long time signified
no more than Scotch or Irish blood
signifed to other Frenchmen and
Germans saw themselves suddenly
treated with scorn and hatred, abused
daily for their origin, and above all
told that they were not as they be-
lieved themselves, Frenchmen, Ger
mans, Poles, Russians, Swedes, Danes,
etc.. but merely Jews.
Very naturally the impulse famed
up at once to make this assumption
true and to answer: "You are right.
We no longer feel any patriotism
common with yours. We have our
own species of patriotism. We are
like you, people, people much old
er, with a longer and more tragic
history" And the desire was born
to regain the country which in an
[ cient times had been the home of the
Israelitic tribes.
A feuilletonist of the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse, who, according to his
own statement, had never concerned
himself with his extraction, now
called himself-thanks to seeing
Stocker, the arch anti-Semitic, abus-
ing German Jews-"a Jew by the
grace of Stocker." AS Emile Augier
phrased it in play in which jour-
nalist changed his opinions as re-
suit Of attacks on him: "Flogging
gave him a conviction"
Theodor Herzl took up the idea
which before him had occupied Moses
Hess-the foundation of Jewish
state in Palestine.

pies of the Earth"
All of which is by no means to
deny that the establishment of Jew
ish political community in Palestine
with the goodwill of the British
and the Arabs-will in high degree
fortify the position Of the Jews
throughout the world. I maintain
that the Jews are the most intelligent
of all the peoples Of the earth, and
their union is certain to augment
their intelligence.
Modern Jews, it is true, do not form
a people in the same sense as the

THE WONDER-CHILD CHESS
MASTER.
MASTER.

The little eight year old chess phe-
nomenon, Samuel Rzeschewski, adds
another to the catalogue of wonder
children of Israel. The other evening
in London, he played simultaneously
twenty games against twenty strong
players, and at the end of the match
he had won eighteen games and drawn
two.
Rzeschewski's skill, says a CORE
spondent of the Times, is uncanny. A
well-known player, having been COM
pletely out-maneuvered in three min
utes, said he believed the boy had
fourth h-dimensional faculty. Rzeschew-
ski rarely hesitated while playing.
Apart from his precocious talent,
Rzeschewski is an ordinary little boy
to talk to, although his stock of Eng
lish is rather limited. He is very proud
of his medals, of which he wears a
fine array across his chest, in man.

When war was declared there were
not enough foreign chronometers to go
around. Here was the American crafts
mans chance, for which he had been
waiting long, long time. The Navy
Department, in the vernacular, was
up against it. Chronometers Oh,
for some chronometers! was the
cry. So the Waltham Watch Com
pany was called upon. ''Can you
supply the Navy with chronometers?"
Certainly! How many?" The order
was given and with Yankee dispatch
promptly filed. Indeed, Waltham
eventually supplied more chronometers
during the war than all other makes
combined.
Then it was that the Waltham
Chronometer went to sea and shattered
forever the cherished tradition of
foreign chronometer supremacy by
standing up under conditions of war
that often put the alien chronometer
out of business. And they stood up
so consistently that prejudiced old salts
in verbal and written praise saluted the
performances of this American Keeper
of Time upon the Sea.

He guards it, he watches it, he prizes

because of advancement unto advance

or duplicated elsewhere in all the world,
giving America precedence in this inn
