"Times" Denies.

Mr. J M N Jeileries, the special
correspondent of the London Times
and the Philadelphia Public I.edger,
cabling from Vienna on December 4,
said that the stories of a great Jewish
pogrom in Lemberg are untrue and
are to be attributed to a German or a
Bolshevik intrigue.
He tries to exonerate the l'olish
officials of all blame and to throw the

blame on some nondescript criminals
or Ruthenian soldiers and altogether
minimize the disaster to the Jews.
The following remarks of the corre-
spondent throw a lurid light on the
information that he furnishes, He
proceeds:
"Many lower-class Jews in Lem-
berg are the antithesis of our British
Jews, who have taken their place be-
side their countrymen of other creeds
and worked and fought side by side
with them for four years. During the
war many of the Lemberg Jews were
persistent supporters of Austria.
(Does that place them among the
lower classes?) There also are other
questions, usually of the food-profit-
eering and the betrayal of , the Poles
to the Austrian Government.
"The Jews demand extra-territorial
privileges from the l'oles, an attitude
which cannot commend itself to Eng-
lishmen, Frenchmen and Americans
of the Jewish race. No one would
seek to excuse the burning of houses
fur a moment. It frankly is deplor-
able, but the organized Polish author-
ity had nothing to do with it."

Czarnecki Version.
Anthony Czarnecki, a correspon-
dent of the Chicago News and the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, sent a
wireless message from London, dated
December 12, purporting to be a news
item and reading as follows:
Communications by telegrams, mail
and press from every section of
Poland and from leaders of all parties
vigorously deny reports of a wave of
anti-semitism in Poland.
Poland and the Poles are opposed
to pogroms, disorders and Bolshevik
efforts, the messages say.
The general provisional govern-
ment in %Varsaw, through the com-
mander-in-chief, General Joseph I'd-
sudski, and the president of the Polish
Ministry, Andrew Morczewski denies
there are any pogroms.

serted. The campaign for the elec-

to Study Carefully This Statement of Local Facts

'THE keenest thinkers and best informed men in Detroit declare that this city is approaching
SM one of the greatest periods of prosperity in its history. To the man who seriously considers
his own welfare, who may have been somewhat uncertain of the future and of what it holds for
him, undecided whether or not to go ahead and follow the normal course of life, investing his earn-
ings and broadening his interests, this is indeed an important statement. These are momentous
times and, perhaps, there are some who have labored under a misconception of the facts as related
to Detroit. An analysis of conditions in Detroit at the present time reveals remarkable factsthat
should prove most interesting to Detroiters: facts that should open up a new field of vision, present
a brighter perspective of the future and, perpaps, work a favorable change in the fortunes of many

Here Are The Facts:

ETRO1T, In Its Metropolitan Area, has passed the mil•
lion mark in population. Detroit has fought her way
upward toppling over nearby contenders until now
only three other American cities are larger. Just think
.10
cx Oslo achievement—and It has all been done in the past few
yearii. In this growth countless opportunities have arisen and
the people have profited from them.
Detroit has actually amazed the world by her progress. This
city is the modern industrial miracle. Industry is the very foun-
dation upon which Detroit is Cuticle& It is the call of industry
that has brought hundreds of thousands of people to Detroit. It
is industry that will continue to bring them here. It is industry
that gauges the prosperity of every workingman in Detroit be-
cause the job and the pay Is the most vital consideration In ev.
ery man's affairs. Therefore we must analyze industry.
Before the United States entered the war Detroit waa at the
height of prosperity; local industries were humming night and
\ day. Then Uncle Sam called us into service and we began to
\ manufacture materials for the government. The city's future
grew even brighter. By the time the armistice was declared De.

troit Industries held more than a billion dollar's worth of war
st
orders. This amount equals approximately the total manufac-
tured output of Detroit In 1916. To fill these orders new fac-
tories were built and thousands of new jobs created. Vast HUMS
of money were spent to enlarge Detroit's industrial capacity.

Wages are at record height. To insure the success of De.
trott's future industrial plan a greater number of workers than
ever before must be brought here. This means that Detroit's
business must be greatly increased to take care of the newcom.
era, that thousands of new homes must be provided and that the
city in every respect must enlarge proportionately with the in-
creased population, it means many, many more things than
can be written in this limited space, but the results will be meas-
ured in millions of dollars.

Every individual in Detroit will reap a proportionate part of
this prosperity. The big point is the fact that this Industrial
peace activity is to be permanent and that every worker is as-
sured employment for an Indefinite period. Every man, there.
fore, should fac • the future with confidence. Blinkers and manu-

facturers, the men who have their millions invested, say that
the permanency of this industrial activity is assured. With
the cancellation and completion of war orders there will be
more work than ever before In the task of filling the vast
amount business emanating from normal sources and which
will have accumulated in the meantime.

Pages and pages could be written about Detroit's varied In.
duffles and the great rate at which they are growing. Every

step forward in Industry means news jobs and more prosperity.
Detroit positively Is in the most enviable position of any city
in the country and when other cities are standing still Detroit
will be going forward. Thus it is the mark of destiny.. Detroit
cannot stop now—she has passed that point. Statistics on the
various phases of
Detroit's business and industry give indisput-
able evidence of this city's pre•eminence.

Detroit's growth is based upon Industry. Increased industry
means a greater population, a greater city and
increased oppor-
tunities.

The answer to all of this is
PROSPERITY.
