tempt for foreign opinion and to
divert the explosive feelings OF
the population.
No popular feeling against the
Jews was noticeable in Berlin, but
it was feared that the anti-war
sentiment, which was widespread
in the Reich, might lead to anti
Jewish excuses for lack of other
outlets. It was said that if anti
Jewish disorders broke out, for
eign Jews might not be spared.
Meanwhile, German Jewish ref
ugees without passports, both men
and women, were being tracked
down day and night by Dutch
police in cities and in the coun-
tryside. Those caught were being
brought to the border by special
constables and forced to return to
Germany, often in the face of des-
perate resistance.
A number of Jewish would-be
emigrants reported to be stranded
on the German side of the frontier
despite possession of emigration
permits and transit visas. 1t was
said that Jews were being turned
back at the borders, while nom
Jews were not being halted. Ger
man Jews intending to emigrate
to the United States and Canada
were turned back at the Neither
lands frontier when they were
unable to prove to officials sat-
isfaction that they would leave

Week In Review
INTERNATIONAL CRISIS
By MILTON BROWN. JTA.

The international situation has
wrought many changes in the life
bf Europe and it has had a great
effect on the Jewish position.
Germany's attitude toward the
Jews has required Overhauling;
Poland has welcomed the whole
hearted support of her S,5OO,OOO
Jews; European countries have
found new uses for refugees; Brit
ain has laid aside her Palestine
White Paper and is counting the
Jews as an important factor in
the Holy Lands defense.
GERMANY
There were signs that the Nazi
administration was, for the mo-
ment at least, laying less empha-
sis on anti-Semitism. According
to various reports, ghetto bench
es" in Berlin parks were eliminat-
ed; ration cards were issued to
Jews as well as Germans; some
Jews of military age were pre-
vented from emigrating; the Ger
man Embassy in London advised
German Jews to return to the
Reich.
The future attitude of the Reich
toward the Jews was in the bal
ance. The dominant NaZi faction
Favored using the Jews in national
services and opposed anti-Jewish
violence as injuring German pres
tige abroad and serving as a dan
gerOus precedent for general dis
turbances. The other faction ia
vOred pOgrOms to divert the alleg-
edly explosive feelings of the pop
ulatiOn.
No popular feeling against the
Jews was noticed in Berlin, but
the population was in the grip of
an almost hysterical war-fever
atmosphere which, it was feared
might take the form of anti-Jew-
ish brutality for lack of other
outlet. A newspaperman in Ber-
lin heard an important foreign
official say: Physical force a.
gainst foreign as well as German
and stateless Jews is an imminent
possibility in the event of war.
Foreign Jews may be beaten, jail
ed and cut off from all contacts
with the outside world
POLAND
Across the menaced border, in
Poland, Jews were joining with a
will in the Republics defense. The
young volunteered for Army and
keu Cross service. The older ones
were digging afraid trenches.
Many devOut Jews were working
on the Sabbath, and Jewish shop
keepers kept open ON Saturday to
enable the population to lay in
emergency ratiOns. The rabbinate
proclaimed prayers for peace and
the Strengthening of the Polish
army....-The Jewish press was un-
animous in urging all necessary
sacrifices in POIand's defense....
Even abroad Poland found sup
port from the Jews. The Fedora.
ton of Polish Jews in Americs
wired Ambassador Potocki that
many American Jews would "bt

nancial and moral support but also
their lives" The Ambassador re

IRWIN R. RUDY PURCHASES
COFFMAN-FISHER STORE
Transaction Is Completed This
Morning; Has Been Manager
OF Local Store Since 1924

Irwin R. Rudy, manager of the Coff-
man-Fisher Store here since it's open
ing in 1924, announced late this morn
ing that he had purchased the stock of

Hens Read The Republican And
Vie With Each Other On Size
And Shape of Eggs

The Republican is more widely read
than we suspect, even chickens abb
sorbing some of the stories that are
included in the weeks digest of news
and happenings.
In the issue of December %, 1888,
we mentioned about the prize egg,
weighing four ounces, belonging to D.
A. King, farmer and excellent citizen
of the Accident community, who was
enroute to Oakland with it for exhibi-
ton purposes when he pressed too
heavily on the container in which it
reposed and broke it.
At that time it was stated that such
a story should stir the chickens of W.
A. Hauser, of near town, which for
merly laid golf ball-shaped eggs dur
ing the golf season last summer, the
course being adjacent to Mr.. Hauser's
hen house.
Evidently the story of Mr.. Kings
chicken did stir the ambitions of Mr..
Hauser's egg producers. AS proof, Mr..
Hauser exhibited at The Republican
office on Tuesday an egg, three and
one-fourth inches long, 8 1-8 inches
around the oblong way and 6 inches in
circumference. 1t weighed four ounces.
The breed of the pullet producing it
was a mixture Of white Rock and
White Minorca.
A second reason why it is our opin-
ion that Mr.. Hauser's hens read The
Republican is on account of the shape
of the egg. With all the news about
wars in Europe we are sure the hen
was greatly concerned, because the
egg was shaped like a bomb or steel
jacket bullet.

COMMISSIONERS OBTAIN
MONEY TO MATCH FUNDS
Borrow Over $1,7OO From I'M
named Source; Old Age PEN
sion Checks Mailed Tuesday
GPA FUNDS NOT OBTAINED

Enough money to match relief
grants from the state was OBJ
tanned by the County Commits
sioners on Tuesday to allow
checks to be mailed out to old
age pensioners, and the needy
blind, but they would not divulge
its source. The money came on
the last day of February when a
loss of $4,000 in State funds was
in prospect had the Commission
ers failed to provide their share
OF the relief expense.
]. Milton Patterson, director of the
Department of State Aid and Charf-
ties had ruled that if the county's
share was not available by Tuesday
night the county would lose it's Febru-
airy allotment from the State and
Federal governments.
"Our rules prohobit sending out
two checks in one month";" he said. If
the checks had not been mailed by
Tuesday the February funds would
have been lost.
Over $1,000 Is Received
Miss Ethel Miller, executive secre-
tary of the Garrett county Welfare
board, said she had received a total
of $1,787.55 on Tuesday, which took
care of old age pensioners, needy
blind, board for children, and admin
istration, and that checks totalling
$6,236.96 had been mailed to pen
sioners and $169.80 to the blind early
Tuesday afternoon.
The amount from the county was
not enough to take care of the $50 or
more cases on general public assis-
lance. County funds to release State
money for aid to dependent children
had been provided by the Commissions
ers two weeks ago from the contin-
gent fund as only $3.50 was needed for
this. Checks to the children totaling
about $4,000 were mailed at that
time.
Would Not Reveal Source
The Commissioners would not reveal
where the money had been obtained
but Attorney B. F. Epstein said
yesterday the money had come
from person in Garrett county.
Banks here failed to reach an agree
ment with the Commissioners over
the payment of interest on back orders
held by them, and refused to lend
the amount asked for.
The money reached Miss Miller's
office direct from Blaine Giessman,
president of the Commissioners and
did not go through the channels of the
County Treasurer's office, according
to Jesse ]. Ashby, Jr., treasurer.
The right to borrow money came
from legislative act passed at the
special session in 1888 emitting the
commissioners to borrow up to 8 cents
