THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD
(Continued from page 5)
financial ruin. They send for Roths
child. He will rescue them only if they
turn the entire loan over to him. He
has already prepared the memorandum
for such a step and he insists that Baron
Ledrantz he the first to sign the paper.
I.edrantz rafaliates on the unfortunate
Jews of Germany, Frankfurt and the
House of the Red Shield are stoned by
a mob incited by the agents of I.edrantz.
Nathan hurries to the aid of his family.
Nathan is reproached by his brothers
with having brought on the oppression.
They ask him to buy the safety of the
Jews from Ledrantz. He prepares to
leave for the enemies’ camp; Ledrantz
has already ordered his arrest should he
try to leave the country. But then word
comes, by secret messenger, that Napo
leon has escaped. Nathan turns back.
“Now they need us. I will not go to
them. Ledrantz and company will come
to the ghetto.”
Nathan is a good prophet. \\ ithin a
short time Ledrantz, Metternich, and Tal
leyrand come to the House of the Red
Shield. But before that the brothers con
fer on policy. James brings word from
Paris that Napoleon will pay double the
interest offered by the Allies, will give
freedom to the Jews and, reminds James:
“Napoleon seems headed for victory.
What he doesn’t get, he will steal.”
All the brothers favor a change of
alliance. 'Twenty years with the Allies,
thev point out, have still left tlie Jews
where they were, in the ghetto. Nathan
agrees. But he points out that Napoleon
is a maker of wars. And the Jew is
the apostle of peace.
“There can be no real peace in Eu
rope,” he points out, “until Napoleon is
permanently exiled. To aid the Corsican
is to make the Jew a pawnbroker in hu
man lives. No, we must oppose Napo
leon even though our every selfish in
stinct would lead us the other way.”
“'That is what your father would have
said, Nathan,” speaks up the 88-year-old
Gudella, mother of the five boys.
Hardly has the decision been made
when the financial ministers arrive.
Ledrantz is among them, proud, defiant,
resentful. Nathan toys with the allied
emissaries. He tells them the family sup
port has already been solicited by Napo
leon, that he has promised them benefits
double which any of them can offer.
But on one condition the Rothschilds will
come to the aid of the Allies. 'There
must be written guarantees that the Jews
in their countries will be granted liberty,
freedom from oppression and citizenship.
There must be no “Jew Streets,” with
their chains and discriminations. The
powers agree and the Rothschild fortune
is pledged to the Allies.
But danger still exists—if Napoleon
wins, it will be the doom of the Roths
childs. Victory after victory is his, un
til at last the decisive battle is at hand.
The Duke of Wellington alone stands
between Napoleon and the absolute con
quest of Europe. Panic-stricken the spec
ulators on the Exchange begin selling.
1 he market is on the verge of a panic.
Only Nathan Rothschild is buying, sup
porting the market. His chief assistant
implores him to stop, to continue, he
says, is suicide. But Nathan will not
hear of it.
"Buy! Buy! Buy!" he commands. "I
made a deal with Ledrantz and the rest
and I will not go back on my word.
Buy! 1 don’t care what all England will
do tomorrow but today I shall buy.”
The word from Nathan’s brother on
the battlefield at Waterloo is not encour-
3ging. Nathan s resources are nearing
an end. And then, with a panic broken
out on the exchange, comes the news:
“Wellington victorious at Waterloo.
Napoleon a prisoner.”
Rothschild mounts a bench at the pillar
at which he stands, the pillar from which
he directed his buying operations. He
screams:
“Napoleon is beaten! Napoleon is
beaten! I have news from Waterloo.
Buy! Buy! Buy!”
But his fellow speculators will not be
lieve him. They clamor about him but
there is doubt in their eyes. Rothschild
sees it.
“I have word from Waterloo. It has
come by pigeon post. 'That is how I got
the information. Now you know our
secret.”
Later, official confirmation comes
through the war office. Rothschild had
saved the day. England honors him.
The King holds a brilliant reception.
Nathan Rothschild kneels before him, as
slowly the King reads the citation of
England’s praise:
“England is deeply grateful to her
adopted son who by his courage and his
generosity did so much to bring peace
to the world. His courage never fal
tered. He was loyal to his country at
all times. For England, we thank you
Baron Nathan Rothschild.”
With the doors of English society
opened to the Jews, there is no longer
any reason for opposing the marriage
of Julie to Captain Fitzroy. She can
now enter into a marriage with “dignity.”
A father’s dying wish was once again
respected.
STEIN THROUGH THE GLASS
(Continued from page 6)
Acts,” as the opera is titled, is one of
the most vivid illustrations of Gertrude
Stein’s profound satirical wit and humor.
The opera has but two saints and all of
four acts, and the chorus often chants
as in a quandary, “How many saints
are there in it? How many acts are
there in it?” But Miss Stein goes right
on juggling and tossing her words in a
volley of Roman candles that Hash across
the stage of our minds with color and
sparkle. No one pays much attention to
the meaning. It’s merely a case of every
man for himself. Juggle the words as
you like and make the most of them.
For example, the line "'The envelopes
are on all the fruit trees,” which other
wise might have little significance sud
denly takes on a special meaning if we
want to relate it to the air mail situa
tion with army pilots dropping out of
the skies in the strangest places. So it
goes, on and on, a very strange and
original protest against the meaningless
ness of our humble lives.
