EINSTEIN'S LIFE THREATENED, HE FLEES GERMANY JEWS GIVE BALFOUR NAME TO CHILDREN Per Year, $3.00; Per Copy, 10 Cents HOW JEWS FARE IN 'FREE CITY' RELATED Role Played by Jewish People BY DANZIG WRITER Described in Article in Jews Pioneers in Educating of Deaf New Hebrew School Headquarters Now Being Constructed at Kirby and St. Antoine Streets "Jewish Woman." NEW YORK.—In an article con- tributed to the Jewish Woman, the periodical of the Council of Jewish Women, Mrs. Sidney Si. Stern of Philadelphia, national chairman of the council', committee on deaf, de- clares that the Jews have played a very significant role in the develop- ment of education for the deaf. Mrs. Stern gives the following excellent summary of the Jews' contribution. "While a Spanish Monk was the first to conceive the idea of teaching deaf to speak and write, much of the credit of the early attempts was due to a French Jew named Jacob Pe- reira. Through his efforts to teach a deaf mute sister and another pupil he was introduced to the royal court and put in charge of a deaf boy of high rank. The latter progressed so rapidly that Mr. Pereira decided to make teaching of the deaf his life work, By the middle of the eighteenth century the Abbe de L'Eppe arose on the horizon with an entirely new method that was the foundation of modern progress, and is therefore considered the greatest benefactor of the deaf.

SINGALOWSKY Jewish Congress FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF Outlines Purposes of "Orr" in Address to Detroit Jew- ish Audience. In an address that lasted close to three hours, delivered Wednesday evening at the McCollester Hall, un- der the auspices of the Michigan Federation of Ukrainian Jews, Dr. A. Singalowsky, representative of the "Ort," criticized the Joint Distribu- tion Committee's efforts in Russia. Dr. Singalowsky made the charge that the J. D. C. refuses to give its funds for the reconstruction work abroad and that it, instead, offers charity in a way that makes beggars of those receiving it. The speaker outlined the purposes of the organization he represented as an association for the promotion of trades and agriculture among Jews. Ile said that the purpose was to pro- pose plans for reconstruction among European Jewry, not through relief and charity, but rather through work and agriculture. Organization Activities. The "Ort" organization was form- ed in Petrograd, then St. Petersburg, 50 years ago, for the purpose of bringing Jews to constructive work. Dr. Singalowsky said that the pur- pose of his organization was to make the Jew love work and respect it. "Ort" has built 40 workshops in which thousands learned trades. Dr. Singalowsky declared that a national danger will be prevented by having Jews learn trades and do productive work. In addition to encouraging trades among Jews, Dr. Singalowsky said that his organization encourages and supports agricultural activities and furnishes technical and professional training to the young generation. "From the ruins of the war's de- struction," Dr. Singalowsky declared, "there is already blooming forth a new life. That is the secret of Jew- ish invincibility. No sooner does a ca- tastrophe take place, we immedi- ately begin action anew. We never lose hope. In the present period of reconstruction, we must also imme- ditaely turn to practical efforts in order to avert a national disaster. By putting the Jews to productive work, we will solve the problem in Europe." Everybody Is Wrong. In the course of his address, Dr. Singalowsky criticized the Zionists and claimed for his organization the privileged position of being able to stove the problem of Jewish recon- struction. All leading Jewish move- ments came in for criticism at his hands and one got the impression from his talk that only his Russian movement was right. Everything else was wrong. More than half of Dr. Singalow- sky's audience left before he con- cluded his address, because of its length. By 12 midnight, the doctor was still talking and criticizing. Dr. Singalowsky's address was pre- ceded by an interesting literary end musical program. Mr. and Mrs. Is- rael Katz gave violin and piano solos respectively. M. II.

A.)—The transfer of the head office of the Jew- ish National Fund from the Hague to Jerusalem will take place around the end of August. Fifteen officials of the central office have been granted visa. by the Palestine government, and their arrival is expected soon. The Palestine office of the Jewish National Fund is now negotiating for the purchase of new tracts of land. The fund will receive 10 per cent of the total dividends paid by the Pales- tine Development Co., which at its an- nual meeting decided to declare a 6 per cent dividend. Sentiment For Movement is J. D. C. Spends $8,000,000 in Strong in Press and That Country Since Year Among Masses. 1921. NEW YORK.—The subject of convening a World Jewish Congress to deal with problems arising out of the ratification of the Palestine man- date, and with general Jewish prob- lems as well, is now engaging the at- tention of Jewish leaders and the Jewish press. Sentiment among the Jewish masses has long been in favor of a World Jewish Congress. The Jewish press, echoing this sentiment, finds that the time is now opportune for convening such a congress. "The World Jewish Congress must assume the task of building the home- land" is the subject of an article in the Jewish Daily News of July 27 by J. L. Dalidansky. The writer takes the position tha t such a congress would be able to enlarge the circle of workers that are now required for Palestnie; that Palestine would thus be brought to all the Jews instead of a narrow circle of organized Zion- ists. For Zionist Effort. An additional sum of $2,000,000 or relief work in Russia has just een appropritaed by the Joint Dis- ribution Committee mainly for hild feeding. This new appropria- ion makes the total spent by that ody in Russia since 1921 approxi- ately $8,000,000, and since the outbreak of the war $10,000,000 The new appropriation, which ex- hausts the balance of the budget for Russian relief set up on the basis of results obtained in the recent $14,- 000,000 campaign, was made in re- sponse to urgent cables from Col. Wm. R. Grove of the American Re- lief Administration and Dr. Boris D. Bogen, the directing heads of the Ukrainian Relief Unit for increased funds to feed and clothe the hun- dreds of thousands of starving chil- dren and also for reconstructive work on a maximum scale. Colonel Grove and Dr. Bogen re- ported that 800,000 children were being fed on July 15 and that the number would be increased as rap- idly as possible; 36 per cent of these children are Jewish, but the feeding program is being carried out on a strictly non-sectarian basis, not even districts where the Jewish popula- tion is negligible being omitted. The sums asked for by Dr. Bogen as being urgently necessary exceed the money available to the Joint Dis- tribution Committee for Russian Re- lief. In addition to funds for the child feeding program, Dr. Bogen has asked for money to assist local insti- tutions, loans for artisans, instru- ments, machinery and tools, subsi- dies for trade schools. According to Dr. Bogen's figures, the feeding pro- gram alone will require another $1,- '200,000 by Jan. 1 next. The Joint Distribution Committee's executive did not feel free to ap- propriate more than this $2,300,000 at the present time and this sum has been turned over to Lewis Strauss, acting chairman of the Russian com- mittee, to be spent according to the best judgment of the Joint Distribu- tion's representatives in Russia, but primarily for the feeding of chil- dren. For the reconstructive work, as proposed by Dr. Bogen, the Russian committee will call upon the other functional committees of the Joint Distirbution Committee to make ap- propriations. Mr. Dalidansky is also of the opinion that the American Jewish Congress should be called in to as- sume a part of the Zionist work. "The American Jewish Congress," he says, "has behind it strong favorable sentiment among the American Jews. That woo evidenced at the recent Philadelphia congress. With little preparation, with practically no agi- tation in the newspapers, there came together the finest Jewish assemblage. There were present the most promi- nent Jewish communal workers of all communities. The American Jewish Congress is a living Jewish organiza- tion from which much may be ex- pected." Similar sentiments with regard to a World Jewish Congress are ex- pressed by B. Shelvin in the Jewish Morning Journal of July 31. Mr. Shelvin thinks that the congress is needed in order to organize the "Jew- ish Agency" provided for in the Pal- estine mandate. He considers this method to be preferable to calling an extraordinary Zionist Congress and inviting thereto other Jewish organ- izations. It may be true, the writer argues, that certain elements will not participate in the congress, but that should not militate against the con- vening of such a body. A congress may rally certain important Jewish groups that would not otherwise par- ticipate in a strictly Zionist Congress, whereas the elements that would not 1. 0. B. A.

The chief rabbi whose title under the Sultan was "Hallam Daschi," has just returned from a visit to the Uni- ted States. He is proceeding from here to Anatolia. SEEN BY ACHAD HA'AM JERUSALEM.—(J. T. A.)—The most significant thing about the ap- proval of the Palestine Mandate is the acknowledgement thus accorded by the nations to the historic connec- tion of the Jewish people with Pales- tine, according to Ached Ha'am, the celefr ated Jewish thinker and writer. "We have received only the external possibility to work," Ached fla'am writes. "Our position is exteremly difficult. The whole world looks to us to see if we are ready to sacrifice in order to attain our national life." "In the United States the first at- tempt to educate the deaf was made in Virginia, where a man named Thorns, Bolling, a direct ancestor of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, had three deaf children, and through a hearing son two deaf grandchildren. Consequent- ly the family used every effort to es- tablish a school to teach these un- fortunates. "The first permanent school in the United States was started in Hart- ford, Conn., in 1817, and three years later the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in Philadelphia. At first only the sign language, known as the manual method, was used; later the oral method was de- veloped; then there is the combined method, where both the manual and oral systems are used, and lastly, the auricular method, in which the educa- tion of the semi-deaf is conducted through the use of his speech and touring together In all these schools the pupil is taught how to write. The majority of the large institutions use the combined system, but nearly all of the private and day schools use the oral exclusively.

BRING 'KNUEPFEL KUNZE' FOR POGROM AGITATION Blames Jews for Causing War; Coming Election Is Anxious- ly Watched. By A. ZAIF, Our Danzig Correspondent. (Copyrighted, 1922, Jewish Cor- respondence Bureau.) Danzig has developed Immensely within the last two or three years. From a small, peaceful German pro- vincial town it has suddenly become transformed into a free city with a free port which, In these troubled times, possesses a remarkable attrac- tion for Russian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish merchants, whom the events of the war have thrust out of their homes. Danzig has become the focus for Polish trading and foreign policy which for long has sought a port to act as Poland's outlet to the sea. At the same time, Danzig has become a hotbed of German reaction, which still refuses to accept the geography of the Versailles treaty, and is striv- ing to make of Danzig a bridge be- tween the German empire and its lost province of East Prussia. Danzig has become a cauldron In which are brewing Polish and Ger- man intrigues and race hatred. The Jew—the Scapegoat. The sky is troubled. Ominous signs are in the air. Everyone is filled with apprehension. There is a fear that there must be a cloud- burst sooner or later. The Germans are praying for the return of the Hohenzollern, the Poles are full of their own ambitions. Both Germans and Poles are dissatisfied with things as they are and both are seeking a scapegoat on whom to vent their dis- satisfaction. Of course they have found—both of them—the Jew. In the midst of these contending Polish and German interests, the man who feels the situation most acutely is the East European. Jew, who be- gan to settle in Danzig during the last three or four years. He is de- tested both by the Germans and the Poles. The Germans look on him as a Pole, the Poles know well that he is not a Pole. And he Is ground be- tween the upper and nether mill- stones of Polish and German enmity. Anti-Semitism has taken firm root in Danzig. The Poles have estab- lished a branch of the notorious "Rozwoj" organization, which has lately loomed prominent in the anti- Jewish disturbances in Lodz and Wilna. The Germans complain that the only person to blame for the rise in prices in Danzig is the Jewish merchant, the "speculator," as they call him. Of course, too, the Jew is responsible for the fact that Danzig has concluded an economic union wills Poland. "It is interesting to know that many prominent Jews have been ac- tively engaged In improvin• condi- tions of the deaf. The Jews' Deaf and Dumb Home in London was founded in 1866 by the Baroness Mayer de Rothschild and employed the oral system. Dr. J. Deutsch founded the Jewish School in Vienna and David J. Seizes, a Portuguese Jew of Philadelphia, founded the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf. "Most of the institutions for the deaf in the United States, if not all, are under state charters and it is only in very recent years that the city school boards are awakening to the necessity of opening day classes. New York has one graded school for the deaf and Philadelphia, through the efforts of the committee on deaf of the Council of Jewish Women, has opened the doors of the public night schools to the adult deaf, and this Bring "Knuepfel Kunz." winter started classes in the day It is no longer enough to carry a schools devoted to social work." swastika in one's lapel to show one's membership in the anti • Jewish League.

PISGAH LODGE AUXILIARY APPEAL IS ISSUED FOR SUPPORT OF BIG DANCE On Sunday, Aug. 27, the Women's Auxiliary of Pisgah Lodge No. 34, I. 0. B. B., will give its first big charity dance in the Graystone Million Dol- lar Ballroom, nancing will be con- tinuous from 3:30 p. m. to 1 a. m. To make the dance unusually en- joyable, the committee in charge, headed by Mrs. Harry Fleishman, president of the auxiliary, has ar- ranged for many surprises and fea- tures between dances. Mrs. Fleishman, in issuing an ap- peal for support of the organization, pointed out that among the activities of the auxiliary is relief for needy families, assistance to the Pisgah Lodge milk fund, employment for those in need, as well as a regular sewing circle. "So far," Mrs. Fleishman said, "the auxiliary has been able to carry on this work with the money obtained almost entirely from its own member- ship. But now tt becomes necessary either to cut down this work or se- cure additional funds." "Knuepfel Kunze" made use of the foulest language imaginable. His de- nunciation of the Jews went beyond the limits of the most virulent mem- bers of the "Rozwoj." Danzig has never heard such language before. Fire and brimstone were his words whenever he mentioned the "accursed East European Jews," whom he de- nounced as poisoning the air of the Free City.
