TO SAVE THEIR WEALTH
Vionna,vOct. 14. Austria, since
the collate, has no need to fear emi
gratlon, for in the time between No
vember, 1918, and July, 1ST19, no
less than 160,000 naturalizations
have taken place. The majority ot
them are ot residents of Bohemia
and Moravia of German ancestry
who, rather than come under Czech
rule and be Czech citizens, have
rushed to J'ienna and taken on German-Austrian
citizenship.
Many others, refugees most of
them, have also swept in and ap
plied for citizenship as . Austrians
rather than Gallclans or Hungarians
because they are of German origin.
Many have taken the move in an at

HEBREWS LEAD DOG'S
LIFE OVER IN GERMANY
Berlin, Oct. 14. The Hansa Bund
of Hamburg, a mercantile association
ot the great port,. has requested the
publishers of the German Officers'
Gazette, to publish a demand upon
the public, not to read Jewish news
papers. The demand mentions, as
some of the more prominent German
papers owned by Jews the Berlin
Tageblatt, the iUllstein papers, Vols
sische Zeltung, Berliner Zeitung Am
Mittag, Morgenpost and the National
Zeltung.
This is the latest, and most direct
move in the antl-eemltic campaign,
that is grow'ng in Germany. It' is
another result of the revolution,
which is removing the old censorship
removed with it every vestige of con
trol over everything.
Officers of troops in the east re
peatedly are accused ot deliberately
furthering an oppression of their
Jewish soldiers. All in all, the life
of the Hebrews Is one of the most
uncomfortable in Germany.
Berlin Is flooded -with anti-semltic
literature. The west end ot the city
is the particular stamping ground of
those who distribute it. The antag
onism to Jews extends to almost
every stratum .of the German popu
latlon. Magazines, weeklies .and
monthlies, devote columns to the
subject.

said to be reproduced from a sacred
candelabra in the cathedral of St.
Sophia; at Kleff.

republic of Georgia has put out
stamps of barbario appearance, on
which is seen the figure of a Geor
gian knight upon a; prancing steed,
