Calla Attention to Jerash.
The Palestine Administration is
also jolting the attention of American
and other archaeologists to what is
regarded as the unique opportunity
now offering itself to explorers at

of the stream, leaving the remains of
the classical buildings of Jerash prac-

unidentified persons. Several arrests have been made, the arrested including
Jews as well as Arabs. The large funeral procession and the attacks fol-

Tried for "leading unnatural cabalistic lives ," seven Tlamudic students
were sentenced to be deported by a court in Minsk, White Russia. The
charges were preferred by the Jewish Section of the Communist Party.
The charge that they were evading military service was another count on
which the accused were tried and convicted. It was alleged during the trial
that the Yeshivah had received aid from chasidim in Poland, in addition to
gifts from local philanthropists. Four butchers were sentenced to pay heavy
tines for contributing towards the maintenance of the Yeshivah.

An organized guard has been formed by members of the Synagogue
Absi Sholen of Pawtucket, R. I., to protect the synagogue property and
also Rabbi Jacob Goldman as the result of the threatening Ku Klux Klan
message received by the rabbi Wednesday, warning him to "look out for
himself and his church." This message to the rabbi together with the one
received by Owen P. McAloon, N. Y., N. H. and H. crossing tender, prom-
inent in Irish-Catholic organizations, on the same day, has aroused both
Jews and the Irish of this city. The police are investigatng.

The Italian shipping companies have begun to feel a falling off in the
numbers of passengers to Palestine owing to the competition of Roumania.
Large numbers of Chaluzim having of late been passing via Roumania, the
Italian government, with a view to re-attracting the Palestine immigrants
to pass through Trieste, intends shortly to reduce the quarantine period
from two weeks to three days, on condition that these three days shall be
spent by the immigrants in Trieste and not in Vienna, as previously. Owing
to the improvement in the exchange of the lira, it is believed there will
be a reduction in the fares from Trieste to Palestine.

The Federation of Ukrainian Jews has concluded an agreement with a
semi-official Soviet business agency known as the "Arcos" whereby the
company undertakes to transfer money to all parts of Russia and the
Ukraine, paying out in dollars or pounds sterling. The "Arcos" undertakes
to charge only 3 per cent commission for remittances to Petrograd and
Moscow, and 5 per cent to consignees in the provinces, however relief officials
consider the charge made by the "Arcos" moderate, as compared with the
10 - per cent deducted by the Yidfescom...

The whole question of the British policy in Palestine is being considered
by the Boner Law government "without bias," but no hope can be held out
of any departure from the policy of the late government as laid down in
the White Paper, June, 1922, the Duke of Devonshire, Winston Churchill's
successor as Secretary of State for the Colonies, told the Palestine Arab
delegation at the colonial office. The interview with the Arab delegation,
which comprised Musa Kazin' l'asha, chairman of the Moslem-Christian
Union, and Shibley Jemal, secretary, lasted over an hour. The Arabs pre-
sented their views against Zionism before the Duke of Devonshire in sub-
stantially the same form as they were given to Lord Cure in at Lausanne.,

A committee of scholars and public-spirited men of the various faiths
has been formed to complete the publication of the lexicon and other works
of the late Eliezor Ben-Yehuda, the famous lexicographer, who died a month
ago. Sip Herbert Samuel has accepted the honorary chairmanship of this
` committee. Memorial services were held on the completion of the thirty
days of mourning. The high commissioner was one of the speakers. His
son, Edwin Samuel, acting governor of Jerusalem in Governor Storrs' ab-
sence, also spoke, declaring there would have been no possibility of a Jewish
National Ilome without the revival of the Hebrew language for which Ben-
Yehuda was responsible. Ben-Yehuda's name has been inscribed in the
"Golden Book" of the Jewish National Fund.

A careful investigation completely disproves the reports current in the
American and European press that there is in the Ukraine a Jewish self-
defense army of half a million. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency cor-
respondent learns there are small groups of Jewish young men armed to
resist possible aggression, and scattered through hundreds of towns. Their
much
total is not more than a few thousand men, however. Undoubtedly
greater force could be mobilized in an emergency, but there does not appear
to be any necessity for a Jewish self-defens army. A visit to many points
in the Ukraine reveals that the Red Army is more than a match for the
bandits who are heard from occasionally, and that the Jews are safe as long '
as the Red Army is supreme.
