1t may be late, but here goes: There's many
a slipton 'twixt the Cup and the Upton.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-19

man Parliament. It relates a num-
Der Of experiences with Jews during
the war.
Herr Osterroth, in 1915, was sent
to Kalisch, well-known town in Po-
land, to preserve order after a mas
sacre Of the Jews by German army.
In the article he tells the following
story Of his stay there:
"A sick old Jew, of little money
but many children, had rented several
cherry trees by which to support his
large family. One evening my SOL
diers shook off his cherries and when
he protested, abused and beat him.
When was informed of this l wished
to punish the offenders, the old man
would not have it and pleaded for his
tormentors. An epidemic broke out
some time later and one of my SOL
diers and fell victims. The old Jew,
hearing of this, brought us milk and
white bread daily until we recovered.
This timely aid undoubtedly saved
our lives. AS luck would have it, the
sick soldier was precisely one of those
who had tormented the Jew. The old
fellow was well aware Of this, and
yet helped to save his life. Upon
offering to pay for the bread and
milk, the Jew refused the money.
Does not this recall to mind the
beautiful character of Lessing's Ma
than the Wise'?"
In 1917 Herr Osterroth was en-
ployed by the government to aid the
victims of the war. When the gov
ernment's aid proved insufficient, he
turned to private people for assist
ance. He said:
Every time / asked help of Christ
ians l received very little or nothing.
But do not remember a single case
of Jew refusing aid. / saw so much
Of the fineness Of the Jew that
sometimes envied him his race"
