JEWS TO BE PERMITTED TO WORK IN COAL MINES BERLIN, Germany—By special permission of the Allied Commission in charge of the Silesian coal field, preparatory to •a plebiscite which is to take place shortly in order to de- teroCne the future sovereignty of the province, Eastern Jews have now been permitted to work in the mines. Heretofore no person, not a native of Silesia, was allowed to work in the mines, for fear that such permission to work might result in an undue in- crease of the status of one nationality as against the other which claims a mainr•ty in the province.

It is related that Nlenden was born of parents who, al- though originally Jewish, had re- nounced their faith long before 1,1:Wi- ndt: was old enough to realize the true distinction of faith or nationality. Vladimir's father died when he was 13 and it was soon after as a student that he came to realize that lie had been taken from his own people and that rightly he Was a Jew.
