we know from Jewish sources that
the aged Rabbi of Jerusalem, Moses
Mordecai Meyuhas, worked personally
at the repair of the Notifications in
order to demonstrate the loyalty of
the Jews to the sultan. So the whole
story is probably an invention in
tended, like similar stories during the
late war, to stiffen the morale" at
home. The proclamation of Napoleon
has never been found. 1t is certainly
legend that Napoleon, visiting
Frankfort and entering synagogue
on the Ninth of Alb, heard that the
Jews were mourning the fall of Jeru-
salem, and having learned that this
event had taken place more than 100
years before, made up his mind to
utilize this loyalty for the purpose of
realizing his imperialistic schemes in
the Orient. This legend is easily dis
proven by the we'll established fact
that Napoleon did not come to Frank
fort before 1913.
Nor is it any better proven that
when on his Russian campaign in
1912 he wrote to the Jewish contrac-
tor, Kubloscher in Danzig, that after
his return he would see to it that
the Jews everywhere should receive
full freedom. This letter, claimed to
be found in the memoirs of Count de
Segur, who fought on the American
side in the War of Revolution (1753-
1830), bears the unfortunate date,
Kovno, May 10, 1912, while undeni-
able historic evidence proves that Ma
poleon did not cross the Niemen I'M
til June "a, 1872, an interesting refu-
tation of the Philistine's sheer at ex-
actness in dates. The whole story is
therefore no better established than
the report that Napoleon made from
Wilma a detour to see Rabbi Haydn,
the principal of the Yeshibah of
Welezhin, and to consult him on the
prospects Of the Russian campaign, or
that he called on Rabbi Abraham
Tiktin, afterwards Rabbi of Greslau,
when he visited Glogau in 1907. It is
not very probable either that he en-
ployed Jew, by the name of Tobias
Cohn, as pedicurist and recommend
ed him to Pope Plus VII, then in
termed in Fontainebleau, enjoying af-
forwards the fun of seeing the pope
Infatuated when he had learned too
late that his corns were operated on
contrary to the canonical law. In it.
self it is quite possible that a pedi-
curist named Tobias Cohn existed,
and even that he counted Napoleon.
among his clients, but it is very sus-
picious that his memory was not re-
vived until 1856, when a French Jew
ish almanac unearthed him. Tn the
same way it would require earlier and
less prejudiced testimony before we
should believe the "Christlicher
Apologize" an American Methodist
weekly, published in German, that
Napoleon said, while he admired
Moses he hated the Jews, who are
towards and cruel. 1t is a counter
piece to the story published in the
'Osterreichische Wechenschrift' (192O)
that he condemned all Sunday laws
which compelled the Jews to abstain
from work on the Christian day of
rest.
The most suspicious stories are
those which connect political actions
with personal emotions, as We have,
seen from the supposed impulse re-
ceived from Jewish service in men,
DRY Of the destruction of Jerusalem.
So it is said that Napoleon attended
a production of Racine's Esther"
