KIEV SYNAGOGUE IS
A YIDDISH SCHOOL

COMMITTEE MEMBER TO
ARRANGE CHARITY BALL

MOSCOW.—(J. T. A.)—The struc-
ture of what had been before the con-
fiscation of church and synagogue
property, the great Brodsky Syna-
gogue in Kiev, has been leased by the
Yidgescom from the government and
now serves as a large Yiddish profes-
sional and technical school.
Curtailment or relief work on the
part of the American Lansmanschaf-
ten has resulted in increased suffer-
ing among Jews of the Odessa region.
It is estimated there are 10,000
homeless Jewish children in the Kiev
region, whose sole "occupation" is
street-begging.
Owing to economic necessity, the
railroad service to Mohilev, Yampol
and other towns on the Roumanian
frontier has been interrupted. Con-
ditions in those places previously re-
ported as bad, are now critical. These
towns are completely isolated and re-
lief must be sent by sleighs, a cumber-
some and costly process.
There is an ever increasingly evi-
dent tendency among Russian Jews
to help themselves, judging by reports
from various parts of the country
that local Jewish populations are col-
lecting relief funds for the sufferers
in their communities. In the majority
of cases the "bourgeoisie" elements
and the communists conduct their re-
lief activities separately, although co-
operation along these lines is not al-
together infrequent.

Isa Kremer to Be Heard in a
Return Engagement Sun-
day Evening, Jan. 28.

Isa Kremer, who so delighted her
audience when she appeared here last
December, is to be heard here again
at Orchestra Hall Sunday evening,
Jan. 28. Almost hypnotic in its in-
fluence is said to be the power wield-
ed by Isa Kremer over her audience.
She passes from the most agonizing
drama with a skipping grace to a
popular song and playing this upon
the entire scale of our sensibilities,
she makes us laugh and cry a minute
later. The songs given in Russian, so
womanly and so persuadingly reveal
a charm peculiar to the sond and the
art of Isa Kremer. The Neopolitan
songs she renders with an irreproach-
able accent and in a voice somewhat
snuffiling and coarse like that of the
women of Southern Italy. Her artis-
try is also shown to its best in Yid-
dish songs, while in the songs of Rou-
mania, Greece, or whatever nation-
ality she may choose to present, are
equally fascinating. So consummate
is her art that one forgets they do
not speak the language of all the na-
tions represented.

Chaliapin, World Famous Sing-
er, Once Had No Money to
Buy Bread.

In considering the international
fame and the many brilliant events in
the career of Feeder Chaliapin, Rus-
sia's greatest singer, who will sing
here on Friday night at Orchestra
Hall, it is difficult to believe that an
artist whose talents have received
such universal recognition ever went
hungry. Yet such is the case. The
recent Russian famine awakened in
the singer's mind nightmare memories
of terrible days. Here is the story in
Chaliapin'a own words:
"I was eighteen years old and in
Tiflis. Cholera was raging in the
Volga region and in the Caucasus. I
had fled from Baku. One privation
will never efface itself from my mem-
ory--hunger. It pleased fate to bring
me face to face with that ghastly
'friend of the poor,.
"I was vainly seeking work in a
strange city. Time ass passing I had
no friends. While in the shop win-
dows there were all kinds of delicacies
and from the bakeries came the mad-
dening smell of new bread, I had
nothing in my ragged pockets—not
even enough for a crust. I was not
brave enough to beg. I tried to sleep
as much as possible—the only way out
of the intolerable pangs of hunger.
"Hunger does not merely cause
physical suffering—it sears the soul."

Federation Head's Report Shows That
Only $135,000 Went for Its
Overhead.

NEW YORK.—The Federation for
the Support of Jewish l'hilanthropic
Societies spent approximately $3,050,.
000 in 1922, of which all except about
$135,000 went fur the actual support
of the ninety-one affiliated institu-
tions. Arthur Lehman, president of
the federation gove the foregoing fig-
ures in his address at the six annual
meeting of the Temple Emanu-El.
Other speakers were Charles Dana
Gibson, editor of Life; Dr. Edwin F.
Gay of the Evening Post and Felix
M. Warburg. Mr. Lehman said that
a larger sum than that raised last
year probably would be required for
1923.
"It is questionable how far the pub-
lic will contribute toward plant ex-
tension and at the some time meet
constantly increasing requirements
for upkeep of institutions, and for
more approved conduct of the func-
tions which they seek to perform," de-
clared Mr. I.ehman. "We are advan-
cing far more rapidly than similar in.
s titutions conducted by other denomi-
nations, or by non-sectarian organi-
zations. There must be a certain de-
gree of patience exercised by the var-
ious organizations, if the federation
is to accomplish what it has hitheto
been able to do, that is, actually sup-
port the institutions and meet the legi-
timate demands fur upkeep and run-
ning expenses."
Mr. Lehman dwelt on the interest
taken in the recent $1,000,000 cam-
paign 'by the younger element. Ile
mentioned the Junior Council and said
that many of these younger persons
might be expected to take great in-
terest in charity work in the future.
"The Jewish community during the
last year has been aroused to the

n

needs of the situation as I believe they
have never been aroused before," he
continued. "I am strongly convinced
that the interest in our charitable in-
stitutions which was developed by rea-
son of the strenuous work of the last
six months cannot but help bear fruit
in the future."
"Partly as a result of the change of
policy, but particularly in consequence
of the intensive efforts of a most effi-
cient office committee, our adminis-
tration expenses have been materially
reduced. According to the figures
submitted to me, the office expenses
in 1922 totaled $135,609.76, as com-
pared with $179,000 in 1921 and $196,-
000 in 1920. This does nut of course
include the outlay made necessary by
the campaign,but these extraordinary
expenser were largely defrayed by
special contributions."
Mr. Lehman told of tremendous ex-
pansion in new buildings and addi-
tions to plants in the last four years,
tellnig that within the last six or sev-
en months ther hail been dedications
at six affiliated institutions, marking
either the opening of a complete new
plant or spbstantial additions or al-
terations to an existing structure.

TERROR-STRICKEN
JEWS FLEE MUNICH

The Binder-Gould Company, auto
trimmers, located at 685 Canfield ave-
nue, announce that they have under
production a new type of glass cur-
tain for all makes of cars. The cur-
tain is an all-season type, being car-
ried in the car in the summer, and is
constructed so that the complete set
of curtains can be taken down or net
up in a very few minutes.
Unlike all other types of curtains
being used on cars today, these are
placed with metal frames, no beaver
board being used. They will be of
great value, considering that all peo-
ple cannot afford a closed car and
cannot go to the expense of putting
a California top on their cars. There
is a special appeal in the low price
and the simple and sturdy construc-
tion of this top.

Sale on Imported Rugs.

BERLIN. — (J. T. A.) — Terror-
stricken Jews are withdrawing their
deposits from the banks of Munich
and leaving town, in consequence of
the increasing agitation by Adolph
Hitler and his followers among the
Bavarian Fascisti against Jews and
foreigners. Many of the fleeing Jews
are settling with peasants in the Ba-
varian mountains, the peasants hav-
ing promised them protection in the
event of pogroms.
The agitation long in progress
throughout Bavaria came to a head
with the French occupation of the
Ruhr district, Ilea Hitler seizing
upon it as an opportunity to foster
chauvinism and anti-Semitism. On
Friday many of Hitler's adherents
marched through the town of Munich,
nvaded hotels, cabarets, looking to
attack foreigners and Jews.
The so-called National Socialist
party of Munich repudiates the anti-
Jewish terrorist acts, threatening the
expulsion from the party of all ter-
rerista.
The Prussian government an-
nounces its intention to disband the
National Warriors League, compris-
ing tens of thousands of associations
of war veterans, because of overt
monarchistic propaganda and its agi-
tation against Jews.
