Anti-Semitism Among German
Students.
Students.

Students.
The "New York World" today
prints a copyrighted article from
the pen of Adolf Konte in which
he discusses the rise of anti-Semit-
ism among students in Germany.
He relates that the manifestations
of ill-will against the Jews at
tanned such alarming proportions
that the government found it advis-
able to depute Conrad Hornisch,
the Prussian Minister of Educa-
ton, to address university students
on the subject.
Konti who is a noted editor in
Berlin then quotes the Minister'S
address which he says created a
great sensation. The Minister
thoroughly analyses the causes
which have SO accentuated anti
Semitism in Germany and finally
concludes that it is "the fear part
1y conscious and partly sub-con-
scious-of dangerous Jewish eco
nomic competition that forms the
fertile soil wherein anti-Semitism
fourishes in universities and high
schools"
The Minister then proceeds to
point out how much of her develop
ment in every particular branch of
industrial, cultural and professional
life, Germany owes to Jews and
concludes in these words:
Remember, thousands of Ger
man citizens of Jewish race have
sacrificed their lives for our COM
mon fatherland in the world war;
about 1900 Jews were awarded
the Iron Cross of the second, many
of them also of the first class. The
first man who fell on the German
side in the war was a Jew; the
first German member of the
Reichstag Imperial Diet) who at
the outbreak of hostilities immedi-
ate1y volunteered for service, and
so far as is known was the only
member who paid for his love of
his country with his life was the
Jew, Ludwig Frank, from the So
cial Democratic Party"
