ANTI-SEMITISM IS
REVIYEDIN BERLIN
Base Defamation of German Jews by
Tagrs Zeitung Provokes Tart
Retort from Tageblatt.
MINOR NOBILITY IS BLAMED
BERLIN, Dec. 23. (Via Lon
don.) Antl-scmltism, an Issue
which has been almost dead since
the beginning of war, has been re
vived this week by the Tages Zoltung
and other newspapers. In conse
Quenee a controversy which may be
described as almost bitter has
broken out between papers of the
Tages Zeitung stamp on the one
hand and those like the Tagoblatt,
which adopted a liberal attitude In
regard to the Jewish question, on
the other.
Liberals Reseat Movemes.
The more liberal papers resent In
tensely every anti-Jewish movement,
particularly aa it Is asserted German
Jews have borne their share of the
war's burdens liberally and are
doing their utmost for the tather-
Uhd in both a military and in an
economic sense. '
The present revival of lh antl-semltir
movement began with a savage attack
In tha Taaa Zeitung against Eugene
Dietrich of Jena, who had accused "a
Berlin newspaper" Inferentlally " the
Tages Zeitung of being anti-Jewish. The
latter denied It waa tha newspaper at
tacked and further roused Jewish feeling
by putting tha blame on still another
Berlin journal.
Th Tageblatt entered th controversy.
calling the Tages acitung utterance
bbse defamation of German Jews,
many of whom died lor tne latneriana
after voluntarily joining th army In
which they wero notably different from
certain antl-semltlo nationalist typewriter
heroes, who have not lived up to the war
propaganda they preached for years.'
Theodor Wolff of th Tageblatt. who
la pcrhapa th most prominent editor of
Germany, declares that notwithstanding
the recent revtval of antt-scmttlam the
feeling against Jews In Germany la grad
ually on th wan, existing now her to
a great extent except possibly among the
minor nobility.-
"I am glad to b able to aay ther la
absolutely no antl-Jewlsh movement In
government circles or In tb high no
blUty," Mr. .Wolff aald. "Tha Jew now has
equal rlghta In the army and may become
aa officer along with a Christian. In
virtually all atrata the Jew la found Inter
mingled with all others.
"It la only among th minor nobility
that the Jew la still unwelcome on ac
count of the fact that ha Is able to out
strip .his competitors, who are jealous Of
him. But do not forgat ther are notable
exceptions In this class fin example of
Germans, who ar too broad to be antl-
Jewlsh or anti-anythlng. A few German
ncwnH'rs which represent thla class of
tho minor nobility, such as th Tages
Krllung and tli Tagellchf IVundschau, are
naturally antl-Jewlsh, but their agitation
la becoming less effectl v each month. 1

many auch aa exists in America today,"

BORDEN TALKS TO PILGRIMS
Premier Says Relations Between
United States and Canada Were
Never Better.
FOUNDED ON SINCERE GOODWILL
NEW YORK, Dec. 23 -81r Robert Laird
Borden, Canadian premier. In an address
before the Pilgrims society In New York
at luncheon today, declared his belief that
relations between Canada and the United
States "were never more firmly founded
on true understanding and sincere good
will, than at present."
He referred to the relations between ,
Canada and the mother country as "never
so closely united in Ideal, inspiration and
effort as at the rresent time." He re-
ferred to nearly 4,000 miles of unguarded ,
boundary between Canada and this coun-
try as evidence of friendly relations.
"During the last half century or more j
these relations have on the whole been in- i
Umate and friendly; during the last twenty-five
years they have steadily improved,
and I believe they were never more firmly
founded on true understanding and sin-'
cere good will, than at present," were his
sentiments of the relations between tho.
Dominion government and the states. And
In that connection he added, "I beg you to
cosider what might have been spared to
humanity during th last fourteen months
and In many months to come. If such ex-1
amplea had been followed." i

1HEY DIE OF GRIP
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Death Rate So High, that Health
Commissioner Issues a Public
Warning.
MUST KEEP OUT OF CROWDS
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 23. The
death rate from the epidimic of la
grip now sewep'ng the state has been
so high that Samuel G. Dixon, state
health commissioner, Issued a state
ment at Harrisburg tonight calling
attention to the seriousness of the
situation and cautioning the public
that If the disease is to be avoided,
"sacrifices must be made."
"Keep out of crowded places," Dr.
Dixon nays, "as one person having
the grip may give it to a carload of
passengers."
In this city the bureau of vital statis
tics iosnod flf0 burial permits during the
first three days of this week, the ma
jority of the deaths being due directly
or indirectly to la grip. This Is more
than double tho ordinary death rate. It
Is estimated that nearly 15.000 persons in :
Philadelphia alone are suffering with the
disease, which has been particularly fatal
to the very old and very young.
Attendance at all the public schools
has been greatly reduced and In several
sections of the state schools and colleges
have been forced to close. Factories,
department atoreg and other business
houses have also been affected by the
j epidemic and In many Instances the num
ber of employes obliged to remain at
home has been so great as to seriously
curtail operations. Hundreds of fire
men and policemen are confined to their
homes with the disease while Philadel
phia Rapid Transit company reports vn
of Its employes on the sick list.
Reports from Camden. N. J.. tonight
were to the effect that there are at least
1,000 cases in that city.
