STOCKHOLM, April 6 (by mail).—
A new anti-Semitic campaign has be
gun in Germany, announces the Ger
man Association for Combatting Anti
Semitism, which has issued an appeal
for support in opposing this new prop
aganda against Jews.
“All indications point to the fact
that this anti-Semitic movement will
be carried on in more intensive form
after the end of the war,” asserts the
German association. “Extensive prep
arations have been made therefor and
pecuniary resources have been as
sembled.”
The appeal defends the Jews
against charges of usury and profit
eering during the war, and declares
that the anti-Semites “desire to use
hatred for Jews as a means of up
holding the strongly-threatened and
unjustified privileges of a small caste
against the inevitable new orientation
of Germany’s internal conditions.”
The April number of the German
magazine, Deutschlands Erneuerung,
contains an article by Dr. Erich Kuhn
in which, after discussing the cam
paign to obtain a modern electoral
franchise in Prussia, he declares that
if the electoral reform be forced upon
the state “it should be provided that
only Germans by blood—not merely
by citizenship— shall be eligible for
election. It must also be so ordered
that only pure-blooded Germans of a
certain standard of education shall
be permitted to occupy responsible
posts in the press. Finally it must
be so arranged that in all our schools
and universities the spirit of German
nationalism shall be taught only by
persons of national dependableness.”
The publishers of Deutschlands
Erneuerung include the conservative
university professor, Von Buelow;
President Class of the Pan-German Al
liance and Professor Dietrich Schafer.
There is no doubt here that the As
sociation for the Combatting of Anti
Semitism correctly appraises the sit
uation when it declares that a strong
anti-Semitic campaign can be expect
ed in Germany after the war. The
indications are regarded as unmis
takable.

WILL SAFEGUARD
HEALTH OF 001
WASHINGTON, May 18.—Prepara
tions for safeguarding the health of
American soldiers in Europe include
exhaustive studies by officers of the
army medical department of uew dis
eases or those previously known
which are found to be more prevalent
in the army than in civil life.
None has attracted more attention
than "trench foot,’’ the subject of a
bulletin issued from the office of the
surgeon general, presenting the con
clusions of prominent men who have
investigated the malady in France.
Although the disease is a pro
nounced accompaniment of trench
warfare, its genesis Is traceable pri
marily to cold. Among the predis
posing factors, curiously enough, is
the excessive use of tobacco, which,
it is asserted, paralyzes the nerve
ends of the “vasomotor nerves, other
factors being lack of acclimatization
to cold, enfeebled circulation, under
nourishment and loss of sleep.
Fundamentally trench foot is noth
ing but frostbite, aggravated by war
conditions. As the feet begin to swell
there is pain around the ankles or in
parts of the leg where circulation is
not stopped! Patients obtaining treat
ment in early stages of the disease
soon lose the numbness of thoir limbs
and the normal color returns. Where
treatment is delayed and the case is
aggravated by tight shoes or puttees,
the feet may have a dead, gangren
ous appearance. Mild cases are cured
In three weeks, while severe cases
may require amputation.
"The mechanical pressure due to
tight puttees, leggings and shoes is a
large causative factor," warns the bul
letin. "That crime against common
sense, the spiral puttee, shrinking, as
it does, as much as one-sixth of its
length when wet, especially has had
many victims.”
The methods of lumberjacks in the
Northwest, who wear oversize shoes
and boots and carefully dry their
stockings at every opportunity, wo
cited as excellent prevention.
The vitally important consideration
in treatment of trench foot is said to
be precaution that the feet should
not be too suddenly warmed. All the
experience of the foreign armies was:
summed up in a few words:
“Keep the feet as warm and dry as
possible; keep good blood circulating
in them; if overchilling does occur,
re-establish circulation slowly and not
by warm applications,”
