Time will not tell;
('lose-mouthed and gray of face
lle is hastening on,
Ever toward his unknown mark,
From out the awful pathless dark
Where never sun has shone.
Faint and dint, as he recedes,
Fade the memories of black deeds-
Time will not tell.

Ko wti0.-(J.

T. A.)-The estab-
lishment of a "Jewish Republic," com-
prised of the districts of Homel,
Vitebsk and Minsk, is urged by the
Central Committee of the Communist
Party, according to a well-known man
who just arrived here from Russia.
The Jewish population in these dig-
tries is 300,000, the non-Jewish 600,-
000.
The reason advanced for this pro-
posal is that the Jewish communists
have been shorn of their power and
authority since being deprived of their
representation in the Central Govern-
ment, following the transformation of
Russia into a Union of Soviet Repub-
lics, with the consequent dissolution
of the Commissariat of Nationalities,
including the Jewish section of that
Commissariat.
By establishing a "Jewish Repub-
lic" in White Russia, Jews would se-
cure direct representation in the
Union of Republics, it is asserted.
The J. T. A. understands that the
plan is regarded with favor in Soviet
circles, and that particularly it has
the backing of M. Stacie, Minister of
Nationalities, and M. Kaminiev, vice-
president.
This agency's informant declares it
is interesting that while the Govern-
ment controls and finances the army,
post and telegraph in all the Repub-
lics it leaves the educational, social
end ' cultural questions in the hands
of each of them.

Time does not tell;
Slowly the murderer
Draws a freer breath;
Ash falls to ashes, dust to dust;
E'en now the knife's a thing of rust
That did the deed of death.
Dragging his filmy veil,
Time has smoothed out the trodden
trail;
He will not tell.
-Ethel Wolff its N. Y. Times.

had written a letter to the Central
Relief ('ommittee, unfolding his sad
tale, a tint entirely uncommon one in
these unsettled days. In brief, he told
of a band of robbers-whether je•ish
or Polish he could not as a matter of
course tell, that broke into the main
synagogue of his town and made awry
with two Holy Scrolls of the Law, be-
side many other sacred objects pos-

sessing an historic as well as a senti-
mental value to the community. IN ith
truly ,Iewish love of faith and venera-
tion for its sacred objects, the rabbi
was entirely reconciled to the loss of
these valuables-which were impossi-
ble to replace, both in the historic as
well as in the monetary sense-and
spoke only of his anxiety for the
"Sifreh Torah" (the Holy Scrolls)
that had vanished. They represented
to him and to the members of his
flock the things that are of supreme
value in this life. They constituted
the glory of the community and must
not be lost, cone what may.

'

Luckily, these scrolls possessed'
some distinguishing marks by which'
they could be readily identified, at-
tention being but called to them. The
scribe (sofer) who had written them,' •
years and years ago, in the now-gone ,
days of peace and tranquility in the
community, when people still lived
happily, if poorly, in their little town-
ship, secure in their few possessions '
and in the practice of their Law and'
age-old customs, had a way all of his
own of forming certain letters; espe-
cially when these happened to come
either at the beginning or at the end :
of a chapter of a book. He would)
then make certain peculiar flourishes
and fancy turns of the pen which were
decidedly his own. These could easily
be recognized in a scroll placed among
thousands of others if your notice had
been called to thesis. The rabbi, in
his letter to the Central Relief Com- ,
rnittee, described these peculiarities
and besought the assistance of that
body in the recovery of the Holy
Scrolls if perchance they had been
shipped to America by the robbers of
On•ir agents, as was duly rumored.

The Central Relief Committee, im-
mediately on receipt of this letter, set
to work to recover the lost scrolls.
They were found, after much diligent
search, in the possession of s dealer
in synagogal and sacred objects on
the East Side, in the heart of New
York's Jewish ghetto, who professed
a plausible ignorance as to the source
whence the scrolls had come. He main-
tained that he had bought them of a
stranger who claimed the ownership
of them, saying that he had been a
nian of wealth before the war came
to his native Russia, with a Minyon
(an improvised synagogue) in his own
house; and pleading reduced circum-
stances as the cause of the sale of the
precious objects.

The dealer received the price that
he had paid-or claimed to have paid
-for the scrolls, and the Central Re-
lief Committee became the owner of
them, as trustee for the bereaved con-
gregation in far away Poland.
In due course of time the Central
Relief Committee became the recipient
of a profuse and quaintly-couched let -
ter of thanks from the now made hap -
py community in far-off Poland, thou -
