Chancellor -Wirth, who stepped
down from the government bench in
an attempt to pacify the bellicose
deputies, had to give up the task, and
the president's insistent bell also
failed to restore order.
The uproar was primarily aimed at
Helfferich, whom the Socialists and
Communists wanted to force out of
the chamber through cries of "mur-
derer," "assassin."

After long rioting in the early
part of the session, President Loebe's
persuasiveness induced partial quiet,
and the memorial proceedings were
begun. They were not without vi-
cious interruptions from the left side
of the chamber. "This seat," said
the President, pointing to Dr. Rathe-
nau's place on the government bench,
"would not be vacant today had it
not been for the boundless inflamma-
tory agitation directed against the
heads of the government." This re-
mark was addressed to the right aide
of the house.
Ile paid Dr. Rathenau a moving
tribute for unselfish devotion to the
cause of the republic, and hie speech
evoked loud cries of "Long live the
republic," in which the galleries
joined.
Chancellor Wirth, who followed,
could hardly make his voice carry be-
yond the first few rows of seats. He
was visibly moved, for the loss of
Dr. Rathenau is a distinctly personal
matter with him. The Foreign Min-
ister was known to have been more
than a mere cabinet colleague—he
was the driving force in policies for
which the Chancellor received credit,
and the Foreign Minister was gener-
ally viewed as the Chancellor's
"coach."
Dr. Wirth recalled Rathenau's
work at Genoa, expressing the con-
viction that the dead minister's sen-
timents as expounded in the presence
of the allied leaders sounded a new
note in behalf of international recon-
ciliation. Ile praised him for having
pointed out the path which would
lead to the world's economic restora-
tion.

"Not only did he lay down his life
for his own people," said the Chan-
cellor, "he died for the cause of in-
ternational reconciliation, and from
his death all true friends of new Ger-
many and those who mean to cherish .
cordial sentiments for it will draw
an inspiration which will give them
needed strength to deal with foes
who would throttle the republic."
The Middle and Left sides of the
house rose in vociferous applause.
The Chancellor described Dr. Rathe-
nau as "a childlike and forgiving
soul," who carried no grude and who
willingly forgot injuries inflicted by
others. He said that the Foreign
Minister had even declined to accept
a bodyguard offered him, as he did
not believe any one was capable of
threatening his life.
"Then he did not know Heifferich,"
a Communist deputy interjected.
The climax of the Chancellor's
brief tribute was reached when, turn-
ing to the right, he declared solemnly
to the Nationalists: "Respected gen-
tlemen, things cannot go on this way
any longer."
The government, he announced,
proposed to develop the young re-
public in a true social spirit just as
soon as pressure from abroad was re-
moved from it.
The House immediately supported
a Socialist resolution that both Chan-
cellor Wirth's and President Loebe's
speeches should be printed and post-
ed broadcast throughout Germany.
Dr, Rathenau, regarded as probab-
ly the ablest man in the Wirth cab-
inet, with a decisive influence in
shaping the government's policy with
respect to reparations and other
questions, also was the minister most
disliked by the Nationalists, who ob-
jected to his politicies and also held
his Jewish extraction against him.
This latter circumstance especially
made him the target of humiliating
ttacks in anti-Semitic quarters, and
e recently was referred to in scur-
lions terms in a ribald song sung at
he reunion of a Nationalist regi-
ment.
Walter Rathenau was born near
erlin Sept. 29, 1867, of Jewish par-
nte. After attending the gym-
asium he went to the Charlotten-
urg Technical College, and later
ook many advanced degrees at the
niversities in Strasbourg and Ber-
in, where he distinguished himself by
is scholarship. He studied philoso-
hy, physics, chemistry and engineer-
ng, becoming also an accomplished
nguist.
When he was 26 years old he or-
anized a corporation to promote one
f his own methods for extracting al-
alis and works for the purpose were
uilt in France, Switzerland and Po-
nd, as well as in Germany. Un-
oubtedly he had his father's help in
he organization of this first enter-
rise.
Emil Rathenau had first made a
ortune in the sale of the Edison in-
andescent lamp in Germany, after
e had conferred with the American
ventor in this country and obtained
e Continental rights for the menu-
acture. With his millions from the
le of the lamp he organized the
reater company for the manufac-
re and sale of electrical appliances
nd machinery of all kinds, with the
eaviest capitalization in Germany,
nd the A. E. G. stretched out its
gencies all over the world.
of the Era" and other books by him
were generally read and were credit-
ed by savants with having a wide in-
fluence upon the German mind.
Rathenau was of large stature, be-
ing nearly 6 feet 4 inches tall. His
resemblance at Lenin in features was
noticed by many persons who had
seen both men.
He was immensely wealthy and the
value of all the Rathenau interests
before the war was placed in some
estimates at $1,000,000,000. One
story was that neither he nor his ad-
visers knew the exact size of the for-
tune and that, when it came time to
pay income taxes his lawyers told the
government to send experts to go
over the books and determine the ex-
act amount to be paid.
lie had visited the United States
many times and it was reported that
his admiration for the architecture
of the large buildings in this country
caused the kaiser and other Germans
to make changes in the building or-
dinances in Berlin. Rathenau said
that it would be necessary to build
a new Berlin on the roofs of the old
city to accommodate the growth.
His restoration of the castle built
in 1790 for Queen Louise of Prussia
was reported to be intended as a gift
for the empress, but he lived in it
himself. The work of restoration
was done in great detail. He used
even the old candlesticks, inserting
his own modern elcetric bulbs into
them. The castle is at Freienwalde-
am-der-Oder.
During the war Rathenau was
credited with great ingenuity in pro-
viding war materials, stripping metal
roofs off houses, melting church bells
into cannon, contriving substitutes
for cotton and nitrates, and accom-
plishing other feats to supply the
armies.
NEWARK, N. J.— (J, C. B.)._
There is no reason why the average
life should not be extended to the 120
years alloted to man in the Bible, Dr.
C. D. Spivak, of Denver, general sec-
retary of the Jewish Consumptives'
Relief Society, declared in an address
announcing the intention of his or-
ganiaztion to call a national Jewish
Health Congress as the first step in
a permanent campaign for the attain-
ment of an average life of six score
years.
The details of the Health Congress
and of the educational campaign to
follow it will be worked out at the an-
nual meeting of the J. C. R. S. in
Denver, July 8 to 10 of this year, 'Dr.
Spivak said:
"There is no mystery in longevity.
The rules prescribed thousands of
years ago, with intelligent interpreta-
tion are as practical today as they
were in the days when the Talmud
was written. The Jewish Health Con-
gress will seek, first of all, to remind
the Jewish people of America of the
true and sole purpose of the Talmud
—the prolongation of life—and then
to teach them how to attain that pur-
pose."

"Maaser" as a permanent feature
of the Keren Ilayesod has been dis-
cusssed so often and at such great
length that few Jews think it is any-
thing but a subject for academic dis-
cussion. Jews are clever. So
"Maaser" does not really mean a
tithe of one's earnings or capital
which Jews are called upon to give up
for the uphuilding of Palestine.

Jewish people and sympathize with
them. I send you my "maaser," with

Experience As • Bank Manager.
At this period the younger Rathe-
au entered the business, looking af-
r agencies in Manchester, Amster-
am, Buenos Ayres and Baku. Three
ears of this and he went to Zurich
manage one of his father's banks
ere. His experience prepared him
r his entry into the Berliner Han-
elsgesellschaft with Karl Fursten-
urg, who had fathered scores of cor-
orations. His work was the rehabil-
ation of corporations in which the
nk was interested, and in these
ars of training he became one of
e country's captains of business or-
nization.
Rathenau's mental agility carried
m to many fields of thought. Those
ho have written critically of his life
ve expressed the opinion that he
ight have gained fame in any one
three or four fields of work if the
ar had not drawn him into public
mice and politics.
While the world was shaking with
a war, .Rathenau was still writing
olio on philosophy, elaborating be-
re and opinions he had formed
rlier in his experience and appar-
tly seeking some way out of the
cos. One book, "Von kommenden
ingen," printed also in English, ran
to more than 65 editions, and oth-
ra were almost as widely read. "Im-
