ANTI-SEMITISM AMONG GERMAN
VEGETARIANS LEADS TO OR-
GANIZATION OF A JEWISH
VEGETARIAN LEAGUE

tary ii Mr. Paul Rothman a promi-
nent manufacturer.
Munich (By I. J. P: B.)-"Daniel-bund"
it the name of a Jewish vege-
tarian organization which has been
founded here and has already opened
branches in all parts of the country.
The organization of a separate Jew-
ish Vegetarian society was due to the
general agitation against Jewls which
it prevalent in the country and par-
' ticularly to the anti-Semitism dis-
played in the already existing German
vegetarian league. Recently the of-
ficial organ of this league has been
printing editorials caluminating the
Jews.
The "Danielbund" has declared in
its platform that the object of this
new organization is to work for the
physical and moral uplift of the Jews.
It wishes also to assist in the foun-
dation of co-operative Jewish farming
colonies and maintains that the es-
tablishment of a Jewish Palestine will
make possible a more satisfactory and
friendlier feeling between the Jews
and other nations.

formation of a society here whose
purpose is to assist blind Jewish vet-

fect that such a society is completely
unnecessary since all blind Jewish
veterans so far as they are in need
of help are being looked after in Jew-
ish institutions All such cases have
been thoroughly and carefully inves-
tigated and steps have already been
taken to assure their future welfare.

ANTI-SEMITIC AGITATION
AMONG GERMAN STUDENTS.
Berlin (By I. J. P. B.) Anti-Semitism
among German students is
gaining ground daily; it appears to be
a manifestation of a psychic derange-
ment which has taken over the rank
and file of the German people.
Among medical students a resolu-
New York (By I. J. P. B.) The
Day Nursery of the Daughters of Is-
rael of 220 East Fifth Street has
opened a new building intended espe-
cially for children whose parents by
reason of illness or temporary diffi-
culty of some kind are compelled to
part with them for a time. That there
is need for such an institution in New
York City has been proven by the
fact that within two weeks of opening
this branch and before the Jewish
papers had mentioned it to any con-
siderable extent the new-home has
been called upon to care or 125 chil-
dren. Altogether there is provision
for the needs of 200 youthful guests.
The Day Nursery in its main build-
ing has accommodations for 250 chil-
dren whose educational requirements
are fully provided for and who are
supplied besides with two meals daily.
This organization is supported by the
private contributions of East Side
workers and tradesmen. Its annual
budget amounts to $25000 and the
capital invested in the two small but
attractive structures is $75000. The
president of the Day Nursery is Mrs.

lion has been adopted providing fot
the admission of foreigners and Jews
to their organization only upon a
favorable vote by a majority consist-
ing of four-fifths of the members. No
discussion in opposition to this mo-
tion was offered as the Jewish stu-
dents considered it beneath their dig-
nity to protest and no one among the
German students was so liberal-minded
as to do so.
At a student conference represent-
ing all the universities in Germany
held in Wurzburg a motion was car-
ried barring aliens and Jews. There
waa some attempt at protest here but
without success.
JEWISH QUARTERS OF ALEXAN-
DRIA SUFFERS DURING
RECENT RIOTS.
"The Wandering Jew."
Alexandria Egypt (By I. J. P. B.)
During the recent disturbances here
which bore all the marks of a prear-
ranged rebellion the Jewish quarter
suffered to a great extent
On the third day of the riots the
angry mobs armed with clubs and
missiles broke into the Jewish sec-
tion and for tnree hours the quarter
was the scene of the wildest disorder
imaginable. Most of the shops there
are those of small traders in linens
and cloth; besides these there are a
few bakeries groceries and meat
shops. All these were plundred; the
attackers took away all the meat and
other provisions they could carry and
the nset fire to the shops.
Missiles were hurled through the
windows of the Jewish homes and
many persons in the houses wounded.
Those who were able to do so fled by
then set fire to the shops.
This demonstration has occasioned
deep concern among the thoughtful-
minded Egyptians. The numerous
expressions of sympathy for the Jews
which have come from all range of
the Egyptian population are evidence
of the fact that those actuality partic-
ipating in the anti-Jewish demonstra-
tion form an uncontrolled element of
which the administration is ashamed.
Even the English militia was sur-
prised by the occurrence. An investi-
gation) has been ordered and steps
have been taken to guard against a
recurrence of the disorder. Among
other measures the patrols in the
Jewish quarter have been augmented.
