There are some profound truths
underlying the mirth and satire of
"But For the Grace of God," the
brilliant Selwyn presentation which
will have its premiere here Sept. 2,
at the Garrick Theater.
For instance, one is tempted to ad-
vance :I theory, after listening to this
play, that the chronic liar is more be-
liveable than the so-called "good
man," whose efforts and actions are
honestly conceived and executed.

ence has become a network of pre-
varications. Ile hasn't an honest

NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.)—The

propriated over a half a million dol-
lars for the =intim:owe of orphan

Of the sum $271,500 will he used in
Poland, where the J. O. C. is super-
vising the care of 12,240 children in
orphan asylums and private homes;
$100,000 will go fee Palestine orphans,
$20,000 for Czecho-Slovakia, $23,000
for Lithuania and $22,000 fur Turkey.
The entire number of orphans be-
ing supported by the J. D. C. through-
out the field of its activities is 17,920.

CATHOLICS ARE UPSET
BY "JEWISH INVASION"
'
ROME.—(J. T. A. Correspondence)
—The so-called "invasion of Jews"
into Palestine and the "English-Prot-
estant" propaganda is causing grave
anxiety in Catholic circles, as will be
seen from the following official state-
ment appearing recently in the Cath-
olic newspapers here:
"In connection with the Peace of
Lausanne, Catholic circles are follow-
ing the position in Palestine with par-
ticular interest. Anxiety is caused
not only by the invasion of Jews but
ski, by the English Protestant propa-
ganda, which is being conducted with
the aid of large financial means. The
Catholics of the Holy Land are thus
finding themselves placed between two
fires—the .lowish and the l'rotestunt.
"The problem has been thoroughly
examined these last few days by lead-
ing circles of the holy See, and in
agreement with the Latin Patriarch
and the Franciscans in the Holy Land,
it is now intended that no means
should be left unused in order to pro
tect the interests of Catholicism both
now and in the future."

MOSCOW.—(J. T. A. Correspond-
ence.!—The Moscow Fames published
a letter to the editor telling of an
occurrence reminiscent of the days
of Czarism in Russia.
A Petlurist, who went over to the
Soviets. was sent out to the town-
ship of Snitkov, in the province of
Podolia, as president of the local
Soviet. On June 22 the new head of
the township called a local Jew, over
00 years of age, and ordered him to
collect the labor taxes from the rest
of the inhabitants, on the ground
that his house was No. 10 on the
street and the tenth citizen should
collect the taxes.
The Jew pleaded that he was an
old man and could not go about as
a tax gatherer. The president of the
Soviet became furious that a Jew
dared talk back to him and ordered
his arrest. A second Jew, also past
60, who was present at the time,
asked why his friend was to be ar-

seized a rifle and pointed it at the
Jew.
The latter's daughter rushed to the
window and raised an alarm. A crowd
gathered but quickly dispersed as the
president began to shoot wildly into
the air. The case has been reported
to the public prosecutor of the dis-
trict, who is making inquiries.
The president of the Soviet has
meanwhile submitted his own version
of the affair to the local authorities,
stating that a number of Jews came
to his office and attempted to shoot
him and that he had acted in self-
defense. Ile further alleges that the
whole Jewish population of Snitkov
consists of counter-revolutionaries.
Practically all Jewish men have
been arrested and are already for
some weeks in prison. No inquiry
has been started yet. Three of the
prisoners are men over 60 years old.
The letter is signed by two Jews
from Snitkov who were not arrested,
M. Litschitz and Cr. Teppermeinster.
The name of the president of the
Soviet and the names of the arrested
Jews are not given in the letter.
The editor of the Ernes adds a foot-
note that the central committee of
Jewish Communist Organization has
taken steps to investigate the report.
At the same time, the matter will be
brought to the attention of the pub-
lic prosecutor fur the whole of the
province.

CHAITTAUQUA.—(J. T. A.)—A
warning against the false gospel of
Nordic superiority, inaccurate as-
sumptions that the people from the
south of Europe are intellectually in-
ferior to those from the north, was
sounded here today by President
Henry Noble MacCracken of Vassar
College before the Conference on In-
ternational Relations from a Chris-
tian viewpoint.
Dr. MacCracken said there was no
scientific proof of these assumptions
and that there is need fur caution
lest "such conclusions be capitalized
by the advocates of the narrowest
form of Americanism, which would
substitute the Ku Klux creed for the
broad tolerance of 011 r forefathers.

Men and women interested in the

countancy to Other Professions." Mr.
Tilton will speak in the rooms of

Since 1913 Mr. Tilton has been
chairman of the Michigan State Board
of Accountancy. During this period
he has supervised the giving of the
state examinations for the degree of
C. P. A. Because of his close contact
with the profession of accountancy,
Mr. Tilton is well qualified to tell of
the relation of the accountancy pro-
fession to the older professions of law,
medicine and engineering.
