DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
A MEMORABLE AFFAIR

vention for several years. 1t is a sit
hation which augurs well for the peo-
Pile of Maryland and which Shout:
bring joy to the heart of every lover
and well-wisher of the common
wealth. And the reports from every
section, from Mason's and DiXon's
line to the Potomac and the capcs,
from the Alleghanies to the sea, were
Of the most encouraging and cheer
ing character, and were filled with
confidence, that the old line State
would renew her allegiance tothe par
t! of the fathers, with more than the
usual enthusiasm, at the polls in No
yember. In all the forty years the
writer has been attending the conven-
tons of both parties, he has never
been present at one where were evil
dent so much confidence, so much har-
mony, SO much hope for the future,
and SO much real, but quite enthusi-
aSm, and so much determination to
succeed. The old democracy of Mary
land and the young democracy, were
of one opinion. If there were any
heart burnings and jealousies, they
were not evident, and all said the
were ready to go into the campaign
to win for the common good.
The central figure of the conven-
ton, and all the preliminary gather
ings was the able and capable young
Baltimore democrat who is now Gov
crnor of the State. He has worked as
no other man ever worked to bring
about the present fortunate and aus
picious condition of affairs. He has
succeeded far beyond the most san
guine expectation of any one, and tt
him and his diplomatic skill and tact,
belongs the credit for what has been
done.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS

Notice is hereby given that the sub
scriber has obtained from the Orph-
ans Court for Worcester county,
Md, letters Testame ntary on the per
Scnal estate of
The American Jewish world., 1921-09-30

part of the republic, considering the
fact that the Jews there were al
ways on the side of the Magyars con-
ditions are not so bad, but occasional
excesses and acts of fragrant injus-
tice committed by the authorities are
reported even there. An anti Cath
olic movement in the Czech section,
due to the fact that the Catholic
clergy is supposed to have been in
sympathy with the Hapsburg rule,
found comical echo in Jewish
circles. The "Juedischer Sozlaide-
mokrat," organ of the Poala Zion
party, published an appeal for with
drawal from the Jewish congrega-
tions and the declaration of Judaism
as nationality.
In Austria the Jewish question is
concentrated mainly on the agitation
against the Galician Jews who in the
beginning of the war when their
homes were invaded by the Russian
army fled to Vienna, in many cases
being directed there, and are now the
constant subjects of debates in the
Vienna city council, in the diet of
lower Austria and in the National AS
sembly. The ex-Premier, Renner,
characterized the situation best when,
addressing his clerical successor, he
said: "you need the Galician Jews as
the only excuse for your political in
competence, and if you would not
have them, you would have to import
few thousand from Galicia" (Nov.
23). The nature of this agitation is
characterized by the remark of deputy
Stocker who said in campaign
speech, if only dozen Jews would

hang from the lamp posts, the other
100000 would soon disappear.
The elections which placed the pow
er into the hands of the German ma
tionals and clericals, dislodging the
former socialist majority, were held
Oct. IT, They proved the futility of
the nationalistic policy of the Jews.
According to the complex electoral
system the candidates are elected, not
from a single district but the votes
cast for the party in all districts are
combined and the seats are proper
tionately assigned to the candidates,
having received the largest number
of votes Of their party. The Jewish
National Party obtained 1868
votes, and it's only representative is
the Zionist, Robert Stricken. The
number of Jews who are members of
the socialist party has not been re-
ported but they refuse to take any
interest in Jewish questions. Only
one legal question affecting the Jews
came up for discussion. The first
victory, won by clerical anti-semit-
ism in the beginning of the move
ment, was an amendment to the
school law, passed in 1888, which in
round about way excluded the Jews
from positions as school principals.

AUSTRIA, PAST AND PRESENT.

Of the Jews in the former Haps-
burg empire only those living in the
districts annexed to Italy are living
under normal conditions, all others
being drawn into the whirlpool of
contending nationals or political tur-
moil due to the unsatisfactory stu
alton created by the various peace
treaties. In the republic of Czecho-
Slovakia with German population,
constituting about one-third of the
total, there are endless conflicts be-
tween the two factions. The Czechs
overthrow Kaiser Joseph monu-
ment, the symbol of the futile at
tempt of this noble but impractical
ruler, to Germanize his empire, and
the Germans retaliate with an at
tack on a Czech school, and the end
is an attack on the Jews. Such an
attack was made on the historic town
hall in the former ghetto Of Prague
(Nov. 17) on which occasion the old
synagog was looted and valuable
documents destroyed. In the Slovak
The American Jewish world., 1921-09-30
The socialists introduced a motion
to have this amendment repealed but
the question was not decided.
ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

The birthday honors of the king
included as the most prominent dis
tinction conferred on Jew a peer
age conferred upon Sir Marcus Sam
uel, former lord mayor of London.
Next to this rather complimentary
distinction we have to chronicle the
appointment of Sir Alfred Mond as
minister of health (April u and
that of Lord Reading (Sir Rufus
Isaacs) as vice-roy of India, prob
ably the highest political distinction
ever won by a Jew (January 81.
Both appointments came in for
share of vehement criticism in the
anti-semitic press and in parliament
as another evidence of Jewish world
dominion. How far this movement
is successful one single incident will
prove. Lucien Wolf, in the name of
the Joint Committee, which has
charge of actions on behalf of Jews
in foreign countries, laid before the
foreign office cases of violation of
treaty obligation by Poland. Lord
Curzon informed him that it was
within the province of the League of
Nations to deal with such cases. Mr..
Wolf appealed to the council of the
League of Nations and was told that
the League had no machinery to deal
with such cases. The picture would
not be complete were the "wander-
ing Jew"-really the "ewiger Jude"

missing. He appeared in an inter-
pellation in the House of Commons
July 18) on a supposed statement
of Mr.. Carl Stettauer that the Board
of Deputies could easily bring 17O,-
900 Jews into the country in spite
of the anti-alien law. Needless to
say, Mr.. Stettauer did not make such
a statement, and could not have made
it with regard to present conditions,
for he died before the war.
The "Juif Errant" of France re-
ceived all the kind attention in
French parliament and press to
which he is used everywhere with the
additional compliment that he is a
'boche'' in disguise. The clerical
press, which, as we know from the
Dreyfus affair, can count on an abun-
dance of faith on the part of it's read
ers, rehashes the story of conspiracy
between Jews and Freemasons with
a boldness which is directly exhilar-
ating. The Revue du Clerge Fran
Gals" November 15) publishes a
statement supposed to have been
made by an abbess of a Belgian con-
vent that the kaiser had told her,
''Not I but the Jews and the Free
masons wanted war.
GAS the mother so her daughter"
Algeria has again been the scene of
attacks on the Jews by anti-semitic
hooligans, leading in Constantine to
to riot which lasted two days (June
1919.

GERMAN JEWS PLAN EXODUS TO
PALESTINE

A wireless dispatch to the Public
Ledger from Berlin gives a lengthy
report of movement inaugurated in
Germany by three Sklarz brothers
and Parvus Helphand, with the view
of directing the emigration of veal
thy Jews from Germany to Palestine.
The story relates the many patriotic
services rendered by the Sklarz
brothers to the German Republic, es-
pecially in it's fight against the Spar
tacans, in return for which they have
now brought against them, not only
the hatred of the Spartacans, but also
of the Monarchists. Being Jews,
they also became the special object
of anti-Semitc attacks and got them
selves involved in some thirty law
suits brought by or against them on
racial and other absurd grounds.
The report further says that these,
together with Parvus Helphand, who
was a Socialist writer before the war,
deeply disappointed that the repub-
lican government was unable to COM
bat the ever-growing anti-Semitism,
combined with number of their
wealthy co-religionists, who were
equally disgusted, to take the Zionist
movement in hand and organize a
wholesale emigration from Germany
to Palestine.
An exploration expedition is leav-
ing Germany within few days,
headed by one of the Sklarz brothers,
to study the Holy Land and make
arrangements for the multitudes to
follow. Despite the bitterness pre-
vailing between the Jews and the
Junkers, the former succeeded in
placing number of young men on
the large feudal estates to acquire
the methods so successfully practiced
here and to introduce them in the
promised land" which will also be
explored regarding it's mineral pos
sibilities.

GERMANY.

An event which could not have
occurred under the empire is the
appointment of Walther Rathenau,
the president of the General Electric
Company, as minister of RECONSTRUCT
tion CMay 3O). It naturally aroused
bitter antagonism among the Junker
party, which finds the howl against
Jew control a very handy slogan.
Similar protests were voiced against
the appointment of Kurt Loewenstein
as superintendent of education by
the Berlin city council October 19),
although in this case the opposition
