TRAGEDY OF THE WANDERING JEW.

(T&Oll OUB. OWN COKEESPOHDEirr.) LONDON, September i!-l. "As a direct outcome of tlie ivar." writes tlie Chief Rabbi (Dr. J. 1L Hertz) in the current, number of the "Jewish World, "the tragedy of the wandering Jew is to-day deeper than ever. In tlic hour of Jewry's greatestneed, tho United States of America has all but barred and bolted her doors to the immigrant fleeing from famine, racial hatred, and religious fanaticism. "in consequence, masses of our bretliren axe scattered and dispersed to tho four winds of Heaven. And gravo religious dangers await them in those distant and strange lands that aro alone open to them. Thus, in most. Latin American countries the arrivals find no organised Jewish life—onlv ar ratio ism, and, too often, total abandonment of Judaism on the part of the earlier Jewish .settlers. A strong united effort is required to save the children for Judaism, and thereby lav the sure foundations of important lieuJewish centres."
