POLISH WORKINGMEN
INTERCEDE FOR JEWS
Retires After 40 Years Service.
Rabbi Dr. Joseph Abrahams, M.
A., Senior Minister of the Melbourne
(Australia) Hebrew Congregation,
has now definitely retired into private
life after forty years of communal
service. The position at Melbourne is
the only pastoral charge he has ever
had, he having received a "call" from
London when in his twenty-eighth
year. Dr. Abrahams has been an in-
fluential factor in the promotion of
the spiritual welfare of Melbourne
Jewry, and a pillar of support to the
various communal activities that have
come under his control or patronage.
WARSAW.—An open letter from
the Polish workingmen to the gov-
ernment has been published in the
press. The letter contains ten ques-
tions asking the administration to ac-
count for certain unpopular measures,
among which is a reference to the
Jewish situation in Poland. The gov-
ernment is frankly blamed for haring
spread false notions concerning the
,Yewish situation and concerning the
Commissions which were sent to Po-
land to investigate the matter.
HORRIBLE SUFFERING
Detroit Doctor, Member
AMONG JEWS IN PINSK
Jews of Germany Must Bear Blame
For Failure of War, Says Harden;
Anti-Semitic Agitation Increases
Of Hoover's American Re-
lief Commission, Returns
WARSAW.—The suffering among
the Jews in Pinsk is so horrible that
it is almost beyond description. More
than a third of the Jewish popula-
tion is living on what is sent by the
American Jewish relief agencies.
Hundreds of families live in the syn-
agogs and former institutional build-
ings. Without clothing, and with
scarcely any food, the situation for
these people is tragic. The Kehillah
has gone out of existence, and there
is no such thing as any Jewish pub-
lic life.
Having spent 19 months in Europe,
first as a regimental surgeon with the
90th Division, and since the armis-
tice as volunteer worker with the
American Relief Commission in
Czecho-Slovakia, under the guidance
of Herbert Hoover, Food Adminis-
trator, Dr. Harry S. Berman, Detroit
physician, has returned to the city.
Dr. Berman hears with him many
citations and decorations for his tell-
ing work in coping with the high
That Germany, in spite of all her
vicissitudes and reverses, could never
suffer military defeat, is a legend that
must be maintained at all costs, says
Maximillian Harden, in a recent
article. The dauntless editor of the
Berlin "Zukunft," who all through
the war criticized consistently the dis-
astrous course of the militarists and
imperialists, declares that Germany
now seeks to lay her failure to win
the war at the door of certain un-
named traitors at home who stabbed
in the back a conquering army when
it was but a nose-length away from
victory. Once more, he says, a scape-
goat is necessary, and once more the
age-old slogan, "The Jews are to
blame," is heard on every hand.
Harden cites the fact that Wilde
not one per cent of the poRtdation, of
Germany is Israelitic, it was never-
theless the Jews of Germany who ren-
dered to the nation such signal serv-
ice in its time of peril. It was a Jew
who wrote the popular "Hymn of
Hate," another who saved agriculture
by the invention of the synthetic ni-
trate process and the poison gasses,
a third who created the raw materials
division of the Prussian war minis-
try. However misguided was their
enthusiasm, their patriotism was
never for a moment to be doubted.
The profits accruing to Jewish trad-
and "Schiebers" were, says Harden,
as molehills compared to the moun-
tain's of wealth heaped up by the
open

EAUTY—strength— power —comfort these are the four
factors essential to character in an automobile. If one factor
is lacking, or if one or two are slighted to secure the others,
the result is an incompleteness in service and satisfaction for the
owner. These four factors of -haracter are insisted upon by the
engineers and designers of the new islao Haynes.

efforts to suppress their business

cess, however.
"'The majority of the banking con-
cerns are controlled by Jews. The
Iron Works, one of the largest indus-
trial organizations of Northern Aus-
tria, hyated in the town of Vitcovitz,

ploys 52,000 men in its plants.
Rentals and foodstuffs are given at

A Credit Store That's Different from the Rest
212 Griswold St.,
genic control resulted in the spread
of tuberculosis, especially among in.
tants fed on milk from diseased cattle.
More deaths were caused by the
scourge among children than all other
diseases combined.
As a result of efforts of the Ameri-
can Relief Commission a public
health service was organized. Model
milk stations and baby clinics were
established. Soup kitchens were
maintained and 50,000 children fed
daily throughout Czecho-Slavokia.
The clinic at Prague, which formed
the nucleus of a series of children's
clinics throughout the province, is a
model one, treats 300 children a day.
It is fully equipped for the pasteur-
izing of milk. Prague today boats a
social service school organized by the
commission. Modern social ethics
are taught to 25 young women, mem-
bers of the finest families. With the
departure of the American mission,
all the organized work was trans-
ferred to the local government, who,
with the assistance of the newly-
trained social workers will "carry on."
Questioned about the Jewish prob-
lem, Dr. Berman stated that anti-
Semitism seemed rife in the new re-
public.
"Jews are accused of profiteering
and non-sympathy with the new gov-
ernment," says Dr. Berman. "The
infant mortality in the war-stricken
countries. Notable among these is
the Shield of Honor of the Czecho-
Slovakia government, presented hint
by the 51ayor of Prague.
Enlisting in March of 1917, Dr.
Berman was given a lieutenancy in
the Medical Corps, and sent to Fort
Riley. He went overseas in February
of the next year, with the Advance
Battalion of the 90th Division. He
was stationed in the Tonle Sector and
took part in the St. Mihiel and Ar-
gonne engagements.
Responding to Herbert Hoover's
call for medical men to assist in the
rehabilitation of the devastated coun-
tries, Dr. Berman volunteered his ser-
vices to the American Relief Com-
mission. Because of his specializa-
tion in pedriatics, he was assigned to
child welfare work at Paris.
A survey of Italy, Czecho-Slavokia
and other countries revealed deplor-
able health conditions. In the City of
Prague, where Dr. Berman was trans-
ferred, the utmost serious problem was
the fighting of the White Plague.
Having more than a million popula-
tion of its own, the congestion was
especially marked at this period di e
to the influx of citizens from various
parts of Nloravia and Silesia. had
sanitation, congestion and lack of hy-
Christian-Germanic industries of the
Rhineland, Westphalia and Silesia.
But blame there is for the failure
of the war, and this blame, says Har-
den, the Jews of Germany must bear.
"Day by day, a hail of anti-Semetic
leaflets, newspapers, pamphlets, books
and pictures falls on the land of Ger-
many. And never has the anti-Sem-
itic agitation been carried on with
such unscrupulous, such low-down
means," he writes.
"Many a Jew is conspicuous by
reason of his unlovely mode of life;
the tradition of centuries of the
Ghetto has accustomed many a Jew
to hateful businesses; and among the
Communits, Bolsheviki, Spartacans in
Moscow, Budapest, Munich, Berlin,
were many Jews. But Jewdom did
tact begin the war, did not lose it did
nut. even make the revolUtion, which;
at bottom,. was merely a successful
military mutiny. But since the Ger-
man military tradition must go unim-
paired, since one honors and hails
the generals who conducted the war
in almighty fashion and lost it—as
triumphant conquerors and as demi-
gods, the Jews of Germany must face
the cry that they alone are to blame.
This is the cloak in whose wide folds
the monarchistic reaction still con-
ceals itself, and because popular senti-
ment for the monarchy isn't every
where prepared for as yet, there has
been started this large-scale agitation
against the Jews, financed by very
large sums of money of dark origin."
