gloom as the year which has just
elapsed; perhaps worse in that
there was lacking the present or

year of war. International bles-

system.
Naturally there was great con-
Germ in America over the plight
of prosecuted brethren in Europe.
Then, as now, there were great
appeals for funds, and there were
frequent emergency transmissions
of money to aid homeless and I'M
fortunate victims of war.
To meet the situation more eff
fectively the American Jewish
Committee named a committee
composed of Louis D. Brandeis,
Oscar S. Straus, Julian w. Mack,
Meyer London and Harry Fischel
to organize a national committee
of one hundred for administration
of the problem. 1t was out of this
group, as a result of agitation by
several bodies, that the American
Jewish Congress was later conven-
ed.
Where did the sympathies of
American Jews lay in those early
years of the war? Could Ameri-
can Jewry sympathize with the
Allies when Russia continued it's
black persecution The Yiddish
daily newspapers at the time ex-
pressed their sympathy with Ger

London Times took vigorous issue.
1t was not until a few years later
that the attitude changed, induced
in large part by German tactics.
1t was on May 7, 1915, that the
Lusitania was sunk, carrying with
it several distinguished Jewish
figures. including Charles Froh-
man, theatrical producer, Charles
Klein, dramatist, and a social
worker, Mrs. Retta Shields.
1t was just on the eve of 5675
that the Zionist movement, dis
rupted by the war, transferred its
center of activity to America, and
Louis D. Brandeis was named
chairman of the Provisional Com
mittee in charge. In 5675, the
United States Government placed
at the disposal of the American
Jewish Relief Committee the ship,
Vulcan, which sailed for Palestine
with a thousand tons of food and
supplies.
How many remember the great
conflict which ragged within the
National Council of Jewish Wom-

of Sadie American as executive

organization on the American
scene.

WAR WITHIN WAR

Time and again, in those early
fateful years of the war, the Rus
sian Government on the one hand
sought to offer the Jews new
rights" and new concessions" in
an endeavor to obtain their loyal
support, and on the other hand
imposed new restrictions and en-
Outraged new hatreds. More than
dozen separate charges of the
ritual murder libel were made "a
gainst the Jews during 5675, and
several bloody pogroms W a r
within war ensued.
In the United States, then as
now, discussion was rife on the
question of admitting immigrants.
The Burnett immigration Bill, i'm
posing a literary test on all ar
rivals, was in that year vetoed by
President Wilson as unfair to
many who had never had oppor-
tunities for education. Were Rus
sian Jews prosecuted because of
their religion or because of their
race, was another question raised
in hectic Congressional debate on
the issue.
Another matter which occupied
public attention and consumed
columns of space in the Jewish
press was the controversy over
reading of the Bible in the public
schools. Many cities decided to
compel such daily reading, and
rabbis everywhere fought against

victims on both sides.

JEWS IN CONGRESS

There were five Jews in Con-
gress that year, Isaac Bachrach
of Atlantic City, Julius Kahn of
San Francisco, Isaac Siegal of
New York, all Republicans; Ad-
olph ]. SABBATH of Chicago, Demo-
crat, and Meyer London of New
York, Socialist.
Moses Alexander was elected
governor of Idaho and Henry Hor-
ner was elected judge of the Chi.
cago Probate Court.
There were other honors for
Jews abroad. Paul Hymans was
named Minister for Belgium to
the United States and Hugo Reiss
was named Brazilian Consul
General at Shanghai.
Karl Goldmark, noted composer,
David Wolfsohn, and the famous
Nathan Mayer Rothschild, all
passed away during this time,

The warning nations, it will be

We'd with each other to win the
favor of the Jews. At one time
Austria sent out a promise of
complete civil and religious free
dom to the Jews of Poland in re-
turn for their aid against the
Car. The Austrian Emperor even
sent 10000 Tallaisim to Jewish
soldiers in the field, for use in
prayer. Throughout Germany anti
Semitism came to a sudden halt,
and many who had previously
been Jew-baiters made public their
warm friendship for the Jews.
It was a crazy time, and almost
anything was to be expected dur
ing these war years. The Min
lister Of Education in Bavaria, in a
sudden love of religion, ordered all
Jewish students to attend syna-
gogues on the Sabbath and on
holidays. Among the German
Jews getting medals were Rabbi
Sonderling and Walter Rathenau,
the latter to be murdered later.
THE POPE'S AID
Catholics everywhere were call
ed upon by the Pope to unite in
alleviating the distress of the
Jews, and to help them obtain
autonomy in Palestine. The Pope
impressed upon his people the i'm
portance of seeking equality of
rights for the Jews at the peace
conference, when such should take
place.
It was a giddy year. The Zion
Mule Corps was formed; Isaac
Loeb Jeretz, Yiddish writer, died;
Shalom Aleichem and his family
were arrested; the Austrian gov

orthodox Jews on Passover for

AG(pR0BLEM WILL BE FUR
 SEASON HERE
Commissioners Pefiiioned on Southeast Alaska
 Question

Biggest problem facing the Alaska Game Commission, convening this afternoon with Executive Officer Frank Dufresne for its annual ses- sion here, is the question of wheth- CT or not Southeast Alaska's closed fur season of l938-38 will be contin- ued through the coming season of 1939-40.
 Fourth Division Commissioner John Hajdukovich, of Fairbanks, arrived by plane Saturday. Andrew Simons, Commissioner from the Third Division, home at Lakeview, arrived yesterday on the Baranof from the Westward. Earl Dinner, First Division Commissioner is com ing up from Petersburg this after noon on the Mount Mckinley and Frank P. Williams, Second Division Commissioner of St. Michael is also aboard the Mckinley.
 Still another important problem with which the Commission will be faced, in addition to the question of the closed fur season in Southeast Alaska, is the problem. of whether or not to open a few areas in ar, emergency open beaver season, which emergency opening has been heavily petitioned for from. a num- Der of sections Tn regards to the Southeast AL aska closed season, survey of, op- inion among trappers of this part of the Territory finds opinion ,divid- ed. dss ,,a.

 Another Baranof request is that fur farms be thoroughly investigated as to source of feed and fur.
