JUDAEANS AND TALMUD TORAHS MARCH IN BODY Mass Meetings at Synagogues to Wind Up Most Important Demonstration. "The Wandering Jew is No More." Headed by a banner carrying this and similar descriptions, some 10,000 or more of Detroit's Jews will join in a grand parade and celebration on Sunday afternoon, May 30, in cele- bration of the great Zionist victory of achieving the object of the move- ment which has for the last 24 years worked to get the Jewish people a "publicly secured, legally assured homeland in l'alestine." With Capt. Herman Wails, veteran of the Spanish-American War, as marshal, at least 80 local Jewish so- cieties will join the line of march as an expression of their joy of the ac- tion of the Supreme Council at San Remo, Italy, on April 24. Similarly. thousands of the local Jewish Ironies will be decorated with Zionist, Amer- ican and British flags, while the finest holiday attire will be thinned by men, women and children, young and old, on the day chosen for the demonstra- tion. Rabbi to Fall in Line. Capt. \Vaiss and his staff 1s-ill he followed in the parade by the execu- tive officers of the Zionist District of Detroit, who will in turn be followed by the Jewish Legionnaires who fought in Palestine during the World War and who are more than all others responsible for the Zionist victory, The Legionnaries will in turn lie followed by the American Jewish ex-Service Merl who served in the United States Army and ,Navy. Then will come the Jewish Boy Scout troops. The Rabbis of Detroit will come next, and following them will he the Mizrachi, which is the Or- thodox Zionist organization. The Mizrachi will be followed by the Hadassah, the women Zionists, and following them will come the Young ludaeans and the pupils of the local Talmud Torahs. The Young Jullarans and Talmud Torahs will make up an aggregation of about . and are expected to form the 2000 finest part of the parade. A great many of the younger children will be taken along in trucks and automo- biles. The children will be followed by the seven circles of the Polacy Zion and National \Yorkers' Alliance Arbeiter Verband), the Congrega- tions, the Ladies' organized societies amid various lodges. Young Judaeans Feature. The local 14 Young Judaea circles will merge the Talmud 'torah pupils for effect in the parade, but will carry their own banners and their special inscriptions throughout the line of march. Special costumes will he worn by most of the Young Zion- ists, while distinctly Young Judacan badges have been printed for the members. At a special meeting of the local Talmud Torahs and several Young M UN I CI I, Bavaria—II ecause the local newspapers reported that the Jews received special wheat flour for l'assover, a demonstration took place in this city against the Jews. Dema- gogues exploited this report for their personal interests and began to in- cite the population against the Jews, especially the foreign Jews. More than 50,00(1 Germans took part in the demonstration. \'ery bit- ter and biting addresses were made; the crowd was in a very passionate state: threatening indeed was the situation. It needed, perhaps but a single call to a pogrom by some fiend- ish individual to have brought very tragic results. Fortunately, no such individual appeared at the moment. Instead, a commission was picked from the vast mass to inquire of the ministry about the whole matter. The delegation left the meeting and returned later to inform the assem- bled people that on the morow the government would reply in the press to their question. The next day ex- planations by the Jewish community, the city Mayor Schmidt, the Food Administration, and by the Minister of the Interior, Endros, appeared in the papers. All these pointed out that the Orthodox Jews were appor- tioned the flour received MA as notch as hut certainly not more, in food values than the other citizens. elucidation of the affair seems to have pacified the sensitive inhabitants of Munich. Dallas to Have Jewish Hospital Institution Will Contain 150 Beds—To Be Non-Sec- tarian. Dallas, Tex.—Sponsored by the Jews of Dallas, and with support of the surrounding territory, a new 151)- bed hospital is to be built in Dallas, thereby adding further prestige to the already well-established claim of Dallas as the medical center of the southwest. The new institution, although fos- tered by, and under the management of the Jewish citizens, will be entire- ly non-sectarian in its benefits and will be open to Jews and nun-Jews alike. Preliminary plans indicate that of the 150 beds in contemplation, the great majority of them will be known as free or semi-free, thereby dedicat- ing the institution as far as possible to the greatest service among the poorer classes. Many other distinc- tive features will he incorporated one under consideration being a ward fully equipped and specialized for the exclusive treatment of infants' and children's diseases. Another special feature will he a fully equipped "Kosher", kitchen and dietary system for the use of those patients of the orthodox faith. A pledge of $100,000 toward the one-million-dollar fund to be raised has already been made from one source, and several additional pledges of substantial amounts of represent- ative Jewish citizens, who recently met and determined to put the project into execution. The London Jewish Correspon- dence Bureau reports:—The Secre..! tary of the Joint Foreign Committee of the Jewish Board of Deputies and the Anglo-Jewish Association- said. in a meeting of the Committee, that the accounts of Jewish complicity in the murder of the Russian Imperial family issued in White paper by • the Foreign Office, have since been proved to be false. Information has now been received with regard to the trial of 28 persons arrested by the Soviet Government as a result of an investigation carried out under their instructions at Perm, on the charge of having been concerned with the murder of the Czar and his family. Not one of these persons appears to be Jewish. :Moreover, a full report of the trial is soon to be published, when all the necessary documents have been received. The Secretary further stated. that he had ben informed in l'aris that an investigation carried out by the Government of Admiral Kolchak had also failed to identify any Jewish participants in the murders, Tools and House Building. New York—Toward the end of the second week id the relief campaign in New York the Joint Distribution Committee made a decision which will prove epoch-making in the his- tory of American Jewish relief. A resolution, unanimously adopted at the Executive meeting of the Com- mittee on Thursday, May 13, pro- vides that the relief work be placed upon a constructive basis as soon as possible, and appropriates the sum of $5,000,000 for that purpose. There has been a constantly grow- ing demand for constructive relief on the part of the local relief commit- tees in all the war-ravaged lands as well as by the representatives of the Joint Distribution Committee who di- rect the relief work on the spot. Be- ginning with Dr. Julius Goldman, Di- rector General for Europe, and Dr. Bogen, Director General for Poland, every one, of these representatives has emphasized the necessity' for granting larger amounts for co-oper- atives, loan funds, tools, house-build- ing and other forms of permanent relief. Moreover, the local commit- tees, which have sole control of the funds given them by the Joint Dis- tribution Committee, have been using increasingly large sums of money for these purposes. The justice of these demands on the part of the Jews abroad cannot he questioned. It is time that the war- stricken Jews be enabled to provide for themselves and their families as soon as possible, so that they may no longer he dependent (111 others for their bread and clothing. To build homes and to enable each one to re- sume his former occupation is the crying need of the moment, and this has led Col. Herbert H. Lehman to introduce the following resolution at the C'unimittee's meeting on May 13: "Resolved. that it is the sense of this Committee that, beginning at as early a date as is practicable, its work of relief shall be placed, as far as possible, on a constructive basis. and that a committee be designated which, co-operating with the Director and agents in the field, shall prepare plans to this end. "Resolved, that the Joint Distribu- tion Committee appropriate the sum of $5.000,000 to be used exclusively for the work of reconstruction and rehabilitation." ''he resolution was enthusiastically adopted, and Mr. Felix NI. Warburg, the Chairman of the J. D. C., was authorized to appoint a committee of seven which, in co-operation with Dr. Goldman, will prepare all plans for constructive work. $1,250,000 for Immediate Relief. The adoption of a constructive re- lief program, however, does not mean discontinuation of palliative relief. On the contrary, there has never been a greater need for immediate relief in Poland, Ukraine, Galicia, Palestine, etc. Accordingly, in ad- dition to the $5,000,000 for construc- tive relief, the aforesaid meeting ap- propriated $1,250,000 for the follow- ing: $100,000 as emergency fund for the territory made accessible by the present I'olish offensive in the Ukraine. $50,000 for Lithuania. $25,- 000 for Latvia and the Baltic prov- inces. Recent reports front the Bal- tic Provinces specifically asked for clothing, and this amount was set aside exclusively for that purpose. $15,000 for the prisoners of war who are still in the internment camps in Western Siberia. (The sum of $250,- 000 has already been appropriated for bringing the Jewish war prisoners of Austrian and Hungarian nationality home.) From $15,000 to $20,000 to care for the Jewish prisoners of war who reached San Francisco aboard the Mount Vernon. $100,000 as a spe- cial fund for rebuilding the destroyed Jewish houses in Bukowina, Besse- rabia and Rumania. $10,000 for Jew- ish orphans in Bulgaria. $200,000 as a special fund for food for Palestine. $70,000 for Palestine for the month of June. $5,000 for the same month for the cities of Aleppo, Beirut and Damascus. $200 a month for the tu- berculosis fund. 4250,000 for food for Austria. $200,000 for general relief for Austria for the present month. $10,000 for tools for Austria. $50,000 for those parts of Czecho-Slovakia which are not reached by the Prague Committee. $2,500 for the Jewish students of Liege. Two Women Elected to Jewish Assembly Palestine's First Election Day Featured by Wide-Open Suffrage. New V.irk—Two women W011 seats in the elections just held for a Jewish Constituent Assembly in' Pal- estine, the first popular elections ever held in the Holy Land. Reports received by the Zionist Organization of America state that the Labor group will control a ma- jority of the delegates of the Assem- bly, which will draft part of the fundamental law of the Jewish com- munities in Palestine. The two wo- men chosen were colonists from Poach 'Fikvall, the oldest of the Jew- ish agricultural settlements in Men's Council to Raise Money. — — IS RADICAL INNOVATION IN PHILANTHROPY — -- Campaigns for Funds to Be Con- ducted Through Business Channels Only. New York—An effort to eliminate the "drive as a factor in i raising funds for philanthropic purposes was announced on Sunday by Arthur Lehman of the Federation for the support of Jewish Philanthropic So- cieties. NIr. Lehman made public the appointment of a permanent Business Men's Council whose mem- hers have pledged themselves to de- vote a definite time each week to continuous propaganda for sporadic "drives." The plan is expected to prove one of the most radical inno- vations in modern philanthropy. Mr. Lehman, who is chairman of the Council, said drives for char- itable funds had irritated the public. The new plan aims to stimulate the interest of business men in the work of institutions affiliated with the Federation. ''It has long been known that busi- ness men can best be approached through their business," said Mr. Lehman. "It also has been found in many cases that attempts to enlist the support of a particular industry found- that industry involved in diffi- culties of its own. This difficulty, we hope, will he eliminated by the all- year-around work." The council includes in its member- ship leaders in nearly a score of in- dustries. It will be aided by the heads of trade auxiliaries and mem- bers of trade committees. The offi- cers of the Business Men's Council are Arthur Lehman, Chairman; Percy S. Straus, Associate Chairman; Wil- liam Goldman and .Manny Strauss, Vice-Chairmen. The members of the council include David Anspacher, Benjamin Roblin, Ben Erdman, Dr. I. E. Goldwasser, S. C. I.amport, Herbert Lehman, Sam A. Lewisohn, Herman Lissner, Dudley I). Sicker, Henry F. Samstag, Fred Isl. Stein, A. Van Raalte, Felix Nf. Warburg, Edwin S. Lursch, Louis J. Robertson, Joseph Cullman and Joseph Gutman. Ty pical of the liberal government which Zionist leaders have always affirmed will rule in the Jewish Na- tional Homeland when it is given autonomy, the elections were wide open for every Jew and Jewess in Palestine above the age of 20, there being no qualifications for voters. The ability to speak, read and write Hebrew was the only qualification demanded of candidates for Assembly delegates. Seventy-five per cent of the Jewish population voted. The Assembly, now that the man- date over Palestine has been granted to Great Britain for the express pur- pose of establishing a Jewish Na- tional Homeland there, will have im- portant reconstruction work to carry out, in connection with the British Civil Administration which, according to announcements by Premier Lloyd Establishes Seven-Year Course; George, will soon supplant the Brit- Mortimer Schiff Presents ish :Military Administration in Pales- tine.
