EXPULSION OF JEWS FROM BA
VARIA LIMITED.

Munich-The Bavarian Government
has found 1t necessary to mollify the
terms of its decree according to which
all the foreign Jews of Bavaria were to
be expelled. 1t has decided not to de-
port all those Jews who were former
residents of Austria. 1t was feared
by the Bavarian Government that these
Austrian Jews would upon their re-
turn to their own country agitate
against the union of Austria with Ger

JEWISH CONGRESS IN CZECHO
SLOVAkIA.

Irague-Brunn is ut present the
seat of the Second Congress of the
CzechOslOvakian Jews. The first Con
gress met January 4th, 9TH and 9th
1910 at Prague. In contrast to the
American Jewish Congress which con
sidered only foreign Jewish affairs
the FORMER body limited itself ex
clusively to the interests OF the Jews
Of CzechOslOvakia. At this First Con
gress the plans for the coming elec
tions for both houses Of Parliament
were laid. 1t was decided that the
Jews form their own party and vote
exclusively for their own candidates
and not give their votes 10 any other
nationality or party.
Since that First Congress the elec-
tjOns have already taken place. Tho
campaign program was followed, and
the largest part of the Jewish voters
supported their own candidates. Eigll-
ty-thOusand votes were .ast for the
Jewish nominees, yet in no particular
district were the votes sufficiently con
centrated to elect single Jewish can
didate.
This discOuragement made necessary
the calling of the Second Jewish Con-
cress. The Jews of CzechOslOvakia he
lieve they are entitled to IL certain
number of representatives on the basis
of the eighty votes cast for
the Jewish ticket. President Masaryk
is in full sympathy with their de
mands. Until the system of proportion
al representation shall he introduced.
or special arrangement for the small
national groups he made. the Czech
oslovakian Government will find it
difficult to solve the problems present
ed by the old majority voting system
md much political injustice must re-
suit.
The Second Jewish Congress has. at
tracted the attention of the whole
non-Jewish press of Czechoslovakia.
Much space is heing devoted to the
political problem presented by the
small nationalities.

fishing rest farms" for soldiers on

fury Mr.. Straus has taught pasteuriZn-
ticn of milk, and, adding practice 20
theory. has distributed milk free to the

decentralization, and the agitation of
representatives of land eXplOiters and
Arab peasant exploiters. there was II
change eliminating in the Jerusalem
pOgrom. in which the naturally friendly
Arabs became the tools of these self
interested agitators.
However the Arab is still friendly.
The agitators shot their bolt with these
outbreaks And the same friendly
cations which were so pronounced
before the war. are quickly coming back
again. As Jewish colonization de.

the Arabs become better off. because
their fortunes are linked up with that
of the Jewish population. which is the
progressive element of the population.
Building up the waste places, public
works. agricultural development, new
industries. will all mean work and
prosperity for the Arabs. most of whom
lave been reduced to most wretch
ed standard of life by their inert and
exploiting big land owners. That they
appreciate the good fortune which the
Jews have brought to them is shown
by the fact that altho agitators tried
hard with the bait of loot to inflame
the Arab villages against their neigh
boring Jewish colonies. there were no
outbreaks at all there
One of the most interesting and sig
nificant political accomplishments in
Palestine has been the recognition of
Hebrew. along with English. French
and Arabic. as one of the official Ian
Cuages of the country. according to
Dr. Pool. All officials and public
notices: government forms. etc. arc
printed in Hebrew as well as in the
ether official languages.

THE BOOK
BY p. NJ. RASKIN.
Un 1.-The Young Judaean.")


A book upon my table
Lies open day and night,
! read it and rc-read it
With ever fresh delight.
l read 1t and re-read it,
And never have enough,
1t speaks the heart of nature,
1t speaks the soul of love.
I hear in it the tempest
OF deserts wide and far,
The onrush of the sea wave.
The Night-Hymn of the star.
The echo of the heavens,
The voice of human soul:
The yearning and the searching
For life's immortal goal.
A book that never ages,
That breathes perennial youth.
A book whose burning pages
Impress with fiery truth.
l read it and re-rend 1t.
And gone are doubt and woe.
I feel 1t growing trner
As ages come and go.
l feel it will inspire
And thrill with force divine.
The heart of coming mankind
As it is thrilling mine.
/ feel its truth immortal
In every word and breath.
And know that souls are deathless
And know there Is no death.

BOLSHEVIST NAMED MURPHY

There was a socialist meeting at the
Opera House Monday evening. They
didn't call it that, but that is what it
was. The speakers were Leo KrzySki,
underSheriff of Milwaukee county, and
one of the striking policemen of Bos-
ton. This queer policeman's name was
not tangle of consonants from East
ern Europe. His name is Michael Muir
ply and he was a captain of Boston
police when the famous strike was de
clared. He gave the poicemen's side
of the strike and seemed to excuse or
justify the looting of stores by mobs
when the police left the city without
protection.
He was particularly severe on the
"scab" policemen. He was more radi-
cal and unrestrained if possible, than
hiG companion Krst cki,o who gaze a
talk in favor of union labor inter
spersed, of course, with appeals for
socialism.
There was a large crowd present, a
large part of which was in favor of
the speakers and their propaganda.

RlVERVItW FOR SALE

Rverview is for sale. The United
States Shipping board will receive
bids up to May 10th for the whole
subdivision including the land, 100
residences and a 300-room dormitory.
The buildings were erected as a part
of the plan for housing sbipyard work
ers during the war. The Shipbuilding
company was required to put about
$4,000 into the work. 1t will get no
part of this back until the government
investment is fully paid, and as the
property will probably not sell for any
where near enough to satisfy the gov
ernment's first lien, it is not probable
that the Shipbuilding company will get
back any part of its investment
The city spent $4,000 in streets,
sewers, water mains, and electric lines,
but as the outlay created a big cluster
of utility consumers, all close together,
this investment is a perpetual source
of profitable revenue.

PONTOON TROUBLES

The pontoon foot bridge built at
Ninth street seems TO be a hoodoo for
the city. 1t is a frail structure and
there is nothing to protect it from the
passing carferries. If one of the big
steel hulls touches it, it crunches up
like an egg shell.
1t had hardly been put in place when
Ann Arbor No. gave it a bump. The
repairs had been just about completed
last week when, during the night two
Pere Marquette ferries each tried to
see what they could do to it and that
was a whole lot To add to the gayety
the contractors working on the bridge
drove a pile so close to one of the
city's two water mains connecting the
two sides of the river that the main
broke. The north side was shut off
from direct pump pressure for about
a half hour. 1t will be necessary to
take up a large section of the pipe to
repair the damage and the contractors,
McMullcn & PITT, and the city each
bames the other for the break. The
city engineer says that his plans care
fully avoided the pipe and the con
tractors say that they worked where
instructed to work. The city has mott
fed the contractor to fix the pipe, a
good job variously estimated to cost
from $4,000 to $1,000. The courts will
probably decide who will stand the
loss As to the pontoon bridge some
thing will have to be done to give it
better protection
Charles Bourl, chairman of the
councils bridge committee, said that
they made the shipway eighty feet wide
so that the ferries would be sure to
find it, but that they seem to require
the whole river.
There has been some foolish criti-
csm of the city's building the pontoon
so far in advance of the necessity for
it, the idea apparently being that the
contractors might stop when Tenth
street bridge was ready for moving
and turn their attention to pontoon
building.

GEORGIA SOLD

The Georgia of the Goodrich fleet
has been sold to the Crosby Transpor-
tation company and will hereafter be
under the Crosby colOrs. 1t is believed
that the Goodrich people are planning
to dispose of all their older boats and
replace them with modern steel steam
ers. The Georgia is the last survivor
of the old fleet owned under the old
regime during the lifetime of Capt.
Goodrich.
She was built by Green Rand at a
ManitOwoc yard in 1880. About 1895
she was rebuilt and heightened and the
original name Ludington was changed
to Georgia.
The Goodrich boats are always well
maintained and the Georgia should
have years of service in her yet, barr
ing accidents.
