,,, in East-

ern Europe has created a new Jewish
type which is impelled even more
strongly by the will to a free life.
The old type Jew, whom the poet
Mirbeau described, is rapidly disap-
pearing. On a hot summer day he
met an old Jew in a little city of Rus-
sia. The Jew was sitting on a rock
at the end of the street. His nose
was beaked, his eyes filled with tears,
his beard unkempt, his clothes torn,
and yet the old man was beautiful.
lie was warming his sick hotly in the
sun. An officer cattle near and began
to shower him with curses for no rea-
son. The Jew did not hear; he did
not want to hear. The officer began
to fume with anger and proceeded to
murderously beat the Jew. lie sank
from the rock to the ground and
quivered like a fish. A lubber of
curious people gathered about. Soon
a crowd formed. All enjoyed the
scene immensely, and began to spit
upon the old lew and kick him with
their feet. The Jew could hardly
move. All his bones seemed broken.
At last he muttered, ''Why do you
beat me? What harm have I done
you? Do you even know !lie? Is
there any sense in beating me? You
are crazy."
Feeling himself a hero, and much
admired by the crowd, the officer
stalked off. The crowd scattered.
Only the Jew remained lying on his
rock. and wept and laughed like a
small child. He murmured to him-
self: "All, all, for no reason do they
beat us. The officer does not know
what he is doing. Yet, he is not a
had man. He might have killed me.
No one would even have reproached
him for it. lie would have been con-
gratulated for it. Another distinction
would have been bestowed upon him.
Ile is not a bad man—not a bad man."
This type of Jew with his great
Jewish soul, but who allowed himself
to be cursed and spat upon and trod-
den under foot is rapidly disappearing,
and the younger generation is moving
in masses to seek a new, free life.

Louis IX, one of France's half-wit
kings, wanders incognito into the Fir-
cone Inn of Paris's underworld. He
hears the half-drunken Villon recite a
poem on what he would do if "I Were
King" of France instead of the "nin-
compoop." Louis, outraged, conceives
the diabolical schem e of kidnaping Vil-
Ion and then making him marshal of
France. His honors are to last one
week, and on the seventh day Villon is
to pronounce his own death sentence.
As Grand Marshal of France, Villon,
the vagabond, proves his statements
made in the Fircone Inn. The Bur-
gundians, at the very gates of Paris,
are driven back by the fighting Villon
and France is rescued from her foes.
A wonderful romantic strain is carried
throu g h the picture as Villon, the vaga-
bond poet, worships Katherine, the
beautiful ward of the king, and later be-
comes her hero as the Grand Marshal.

"People say that we have not suf-

urally with the assistance of Ameri-
can Jewry. And I am sure that
American Jewry will give us all the
aid necessary."
"Have you visited many Jewish
communities in Europe?" was an-
other question asked.
"I have been in many cities and
smaller places," ND. Kaimaky re-
plied. "I have acquainted myself
with Jewish life in the old country.
There is a complete upheaval of Jew-
ish life. It is unrecognizable. There
is in Poland no house in which poli-
tics is not being played. I'arties are
everywhere. Every house is divided
with different parties. Every Jets is

"'Ike Zionist."
"What about orthodoxy?"
"Weak, very weak. Absolutely un-
organized. And anyhow religiosity in
the old home has grown less."
Mr. Kaimaky was asked how long
it would take before Jewish life in
eastern Europe is reconstructed. He
replied, in his opinion, as long as the
"Dor Ilamidhor" (the generation of
the wilderness). "'file war genera-
tion will exist; there cannot be a com-
plete reconstruction. Only the com-
ing generation will return," he added,
"to solid. normal and to the real Jew-
ish life which existed prior to the
war."
In conclusion Mr. Kaimaky said
that the whole reconstruction work
consists in reuniting the families that
have been broken up. Salvation can
only come from American Jewry.

the nuestion as to what extent
American Jewry could aid and should
do fur their brethren in Europe, Mr.
Kaimaky replied: "Charity work is
absolutely unnecessary. All this
charity is wasted. Two things Amer-
ican Jewry can do, and they are the
real and the most necessary relief for
European Jewry, First, the work of
Ihe Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society of America to as-
sist all those who can come to Amer-
ica to come here; and secondly, to re-
construct Jewish life in Europe.
"This does not mean sending relief,
giving charity. This is unnecessary,
because enough money is being sent
by persons here to their relatives
abroad. Loan societies must he es-
tablished in every city and village so
that business people and workmen
may be able to borrow money to
continue their business and work. We
must establish and help maintain edu-

the communal institutions which have
