32 JEWS IN GERMANY WINRECOENITION Republic Recognizes Church and Makes Provision in Budget for Rabbis. BY ADOLPH KONTI. Corrsspondence of The Sta- and_the Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1926, BERLIN, Germany, October 30. —After a tenacious struggle under | G many’s revublican government the Jewish synagogue vommunities were finally put on an even basis with the ‘hitherto dominating Christian churches. Although the state church was prac- tically abolished in Prussia in 1848, the Catholic and Protestant churches were regarded as official. The sala- ries and expenses of ecclesiastical dig- nitaries, expenditure for religlous in- struction and for the education of pastors and religious teachers were borne by the state. About 100,000,000 marks were pald yearly to the Chris- tian churches for thelr particular pur- poses. The Jewish religion was excluded from the regulations. ignored it and a ties, Religions on Equal Footing. The constitution of Weimar definite- ly took from the CI the character of s equalized all c munities. e first time in Prus sian history and in the history of the Jews the rabbi has been put on equal footing generally, and as ligious teacher, with the pastors and priests. items appear in th ate budget Salary for the rabbis, their pensions ce for their widows and o ies for the Jewlsh re- and » formally through the insertion of the supple- mentary words, “and for the syna- gogue congl tions” after the phrase “for the Protestant and Cath- olic churches.” In view of this unusual success one might conclude that anti-Semitism in Germany is dyving out, or at least rapidly dimishing. But this is not the case. The in- tensity of anti-Semitism increases and 1s gaining ground. One of the main reasons may be sought in the influx of Juden” (Galician Jews) in Germany, although it is a_historical fact that Gen. Lu- dendorff is to b he im- migration of the . When Ludendorff, now le of the Ger- man extreme nationalists, went to Poland in the Autumn of 1914 he is- sued an edict in Yiddish in which he said: ual rights for Jews will be built on solid foundations,” and sub- sequently he sent thousands of them into Germany to work in the war in- dustries, where hands were urgently needed.

WOOD. By Cable to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1020. MOSCOW, November 27.—Three former officials of the Riga prison, including Supt. Von E 69 vears old, have bee: to death by shooting by a Lenin- grad court on charges of cruelties to political prisoners of the Czarist regime. fous victims of the Von E t administration testified against the accused officlals. A village tax collector, whose goat ate $15 worth of paper money which dropped to the floor, was exonerated because he immediately killed the animal in an effort to recover the money. The effort failed. A peasant woman, who climaxed 18 years of beatings by killing her husband with an ax while he was beating her son, received a repri- mand. \“TATA AND KIKI” BANNED FROM CODE Foreign Office to Seek New Set of Words.

Ever yours, Barbichon.” ERNEST BELFORT BAX, SHAW COWORKER, DIES Was One of Founders of English Socialist Movement, Lawyer, Author and Journalist. LONDON, November 27.—Ernest Belfort Bax, who was a coworker with George Bernard Shaw in the Socialist movement, died in London yesterday. On the occasion of a dinner in honor of Bax on his seventieth birthday an- niversary, two years ago, Shaw wrote a letter saying: ‘Bax and I would have been hanged long ago if our brave British bourgeolsie had had the least notion of our opinion of it.” Ernest Belfort Bax was a barrister, Journalist and author at varfous perfods in his life, but he was best known for his rocialistic activities, being one of the founders of the Eng- lish Sociallst movement. He has writ- ten humorous books, mostly on so- clalistic subjects. e O Battle Delays Milking. At the diamond jubilee of the battle of Omarunui Pa, held recently at Sydney, New Zealand, Mrs. M.
