THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

war order, whether in militarist
Germany or in Czarist Russia. It
is brazen attempt to find some
scapegoat, an excuse for return
to the order that was. While
mobs may be diverted for an
hour from pursuing their pur-
poses, the cry of the Jewish
peril" is no solution of the prob
lem which has created world
wide unrest. Polish mobs may
forget about the crime of Polish
imperialism whilst committing
unspeakable crimes against Jew
ish men, women and children, but
this solves no problems.
After the Jews shall have been
crushed, if crushed they are to be,
what is to become of their blood
whetted destroyers? Instead of
seeking a true and abiding solu-
ton of the problems of the world,
the anodyne of the Jewish Peril"
is offered to a world largely I'M
der arms by those either respon-
sible for the social and moral dis
order of the world or ready to
capitalize it to the end that the
old order of imperialism and mill
tarism may be re-established.
Yes, there is "Jewish peril"
real and undeniable,-the peril
not occasioned by the Jew but to
the Jew. If it be willed by the
world, so shall it be: Physical
pain and suffering can be borne
for centuries without collective
hurt. Not so spiritual hurt,
which after time leaves its in
efaceable mark upon it's victims
Consider what is happening in
East European lands. Can these
things be and be done without the
doors being terribly and even
curelessly hurt? If war leaves
its marks for evil upon them that
wage it, what shall be said of
them that wage war against such
as answer not? War is redeemed
in some part by the risks taken
by the warriors. What of the
morale of such as war upon un-
weaponed, that make business,
as does Eastern Europe, of slay-
ing the defense1ess because they
are Jews?
And this is happening in En-
rope today with results bound to
be terrible if not fatal to East
European nations. Can Europe
hope to be spared the ruinous
hurt done in its lands to every

Fortune Hinges on Treaty.

Budapest. Monday, Feb. 16.--Inter.
est in the question whether America
will sign the treaty Of peace with
Hungary Is shown by Count Las2io
Szechenyi husband Of the former Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt Of New York. II
America does not sign, the countess
fortune which is now sequestrated In
the United States, cannot be held fol
allied reparations.
The count, who is visiting Ameri-
can friends here, today denied as IN
famous" reports that he was seeking
divorce.
ut Is unbelievable he declared,
"that the father and mother Of four
children WHOM both love should wish
TO separate"
He also expressed anxiety tha,
Countess szechenyi be reassured on
this point, and said the reason they
we're separated at present, was that
he was unable to go to America since
he Is an enemy subject.
He asserted he was with the count
ess in Switzerland, until she secured
permission 20 visit America and that
previous to tb--y departure from Hun
gary year ago, although she was
able to get passports for herself ana
children, she refused to leave until
q passport was granted her husband.

CHICAGO SHERIFF. WILL
STAGE ANOTHER OBJECT
LESSON TO COUNTY JAIL

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Prisoners in the
Cook county Jail will witness execu-
tlons in spite Of protests made by wo-
men, public officials and others. Sher-
III Peters announced today. Jack
O'BrIen will be hanged for the mur-
der Of q policeman and the procedure
will be the same as in the hanging
of Raffaelo Durango, about e month
ago. O'Brien will be executed by
the prisoners in surrounding tiers
Of cells looking on, the sheriff said.
"The mere hanging Of particular
subject IS not meant to punish that
subject alone" said Sheriff Peters,
but the real object is to punish the
criminal class. II capital punish
ment means anything at all It is a
deterrent to further crime and an
example to others The very class
1t is intended to reach are those
confined In the jail"

justice and charity and their app
cation to the practical solution Of the
pressing problems that confront all
civilized nations, Tho letter will dis
cuss problems Of marriage and di.
yorce, industrial relations, national
conditions and international affairs
