SEATSFOR THE BAT
ONSALE TOMORROW
Dramatic Sensation Opens
Return Engagement at the
Jefferson Thursday

Seat sale opens tomorrow for THE
Bat" far and away the sensation of
the year in the theatre from the point
of popularity, which will be presented
by Wagenhals and Kemper at tho
Jefferson theatre for return en-
gagement with last seasons great
cast, for three nights, beginning
Thursday. October rs, matinee Sat-
urday.
"The Bat" is the joint work Of
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood, reason sufficient In itself
for it's tremendous success.
THE Bat" is every bit of the "dra-
matte smash" one critic called It
one climax after another follows in
rapid sequence and the suspense lit
orally holds tho audience from cur
tain to curtain. Nor is that all, for
running through their story, the au-
/ iors have succeeded in introducing
enc OF the funniest characters ever
seen on the stage. Lizzie. the servant
u the household, accounts for
snrieks of laughter.
'.rhe Bat" played in New York for
over two years. simultaneously, an
other company of THE Bat" achieved
a run Of over one solid year in Chi
cago breaking all theatrical records
for that city by a matter of many
months. This is a record that is posi-
lively unique in the annals of the
theatre.
The story of 1.-THE Bat"-that is a
secret. 1t is the request of the au-
thors and the management that no
one tell the secret of '"The Bat" and
there has yet to be critic or thea
tregoer. so far as is known, who has
broken faith.
When 1.-THE Bat" comes here the
same request will be made of local
theatregoers For the present, then,
know that 1.-THE Bat" is the hit of
hits in the theatre and that 1t comes
here presented exactly as 1t Is being
played in New York, and with a cast
of unusual excellence -

RISE ISSEEN
IN COTTON MARKET
Demands in Spot Department
Constantly Broadened as
Offerings Lessened

New Orleans, October 22-It was
a long rise in the cotton market last
week, lowest prices coming in the
first two sessions. while highest
prices were reached on the closing
session. From declines under the
close of the preceding week of Is
TO "a points there was a rise to ad
vances of lit to 142 points over,
the range of fluctuations being 1877
to 157 points. After trading as low
as 21.72 cents, December rose to
1922 cents and closed at 23.17 cents
a pound. In the spot department
prices gained 1875 points on middling,
which closed at 2S cents a pound.
against 1926 cents on the close last
week a year ago. Prices reached
new high levels for the season all
along the line.
The main reasons for the advance
were to be found in the spot depart
ment, where the demand constantly
broadened. while offerings percep-
tibly lessened, A deep impression was
made early in the week by messages
from points in Texas stating that, in
some cases, the entire days offer
ings OF spots consisted of a single
bale. Later in the week Texas re-
ports stated that both foreign and
domestic spot houses had removed
their limits and instructed their buy
ers in the country to get cotton, re-
gardless of the price.
Tying Up Spot
On the closing session no little
buying was aroused by the claim
that farmers marketing bureaus
were tying up from 10000 to $4,000
bales of spots daily. All sections
of the belt sent in reports that were
equally as bullish as the Texas &C
counts, and in the eastern belt 1t was
said that cotton mills were reaching
out into the territory surrounding
them and ignoring the middlemen
and railroads, were buying up cotton
and shipping it to their warehouses
on their own motor trucks.
Further reports of large bust
ness being done in cotton goods in
tensifIsd the effect of spot news.
The census bureau will issue It's
report on ginning to October Is next
Wednesday, and the figures may have
an important bearing on the net re-
suits of the week.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
GERMAN ANTI-SEMITISM.
Continued from page 81

ary political past was his reconcilia-
tion with the Conservatives slowly
and gradually brought about. Bis
marck severed his connections with
Liberalism, and as soon as this be-
came thoroughly clear to them, the
anti-Semites once again raised their
heads. With the opposition of the
forces of the state to the Liberal
party, anti-Semitism assumed the
center of the stage as at the be-
ginning of the century.
Bismarck was in his younger days
undeniably an anti-Semite. That was
in accordance with the traditions of
the circles among whom he was
brought up. But I do not believe
that he adhered in his maturer years
to the convictions of his anti-Semitic
youth. There is no doubt at all in
my mind that Bismarck in his later
periods regarded anti-Semitism as
sterile and politically degenerate. He
made not the slightest attempt to in
corporate anti-Semitism in the Con-
stitution. On the other hand, I know
of whole series of utterances of his,
which demonstrate that he consider
ed the proposals of the anti-Semites
as impossible. In his distinctive
youthful and impressive manner he
used to say: 'The anti-Semites think
of the Jews as vermin on the Ger
man body. That in itself is bad 20
ology. But when we come to the
means by which they want to rid
Germany of this vermin, we find
that their vermin powder is thorough
ly useless. What Minister can do
anything with such proposals ?"
Bismarck's insight, however, in re-
gard to the anti-Semitic agitation did
not deter him from making full use
of the anti-Semites for his political
purposes. He used the anti-Semitic
movement in order to cause an inter-
nal conflict in the ranks of the Radi-
cal parties with view to weakening
them. He furthered the develop
ments which eventually drove Eduard
Lasker and Ludwig Bamberber out of
the National Liberal Party, and made
the party completely subversive to
his will, so that it became a vehicle
of the reaction, and even to a certain
extent amenable to anti-Semitic in
fuence. Anti-Semitism raised it's
head again boldly in Germany when
the reaction condoned by Bismarck
became anew a power in the land.
At that period, the spokesman of
vulgar anti-Semitism in Germany
were the Court Chaplain Stoecker,
who sought to spread antiJewish
feeling in the circles around the EN-
peror Wilhelm l., and the Rector Ahl-
wardt, who worked together with
Stoecker to infame the widest in
stincts of the mob. At the time,
these closely related and conscience
less agitators-and they had a good
ly number of ollowers-caused
series of heated political struggles in
Germany which threatened, indeed,
the equality of the Jews under the
Constitution, but the anti-Semites
were never able to overthrow the
Constitution in regard to the rights
of the Jews.
Wilhelm l., who always strove to
attach to himself Bismarck's genius
and will power, allowed considerable
latitude to the anti-Semitic move
ment, and Bismarck used it for his
own ends. But neither the one nor
the other openly supported anti-Semi-
