1,000 LEAVE WARSAW
FOR THE HOLY LAND
WARSAW,—(J. T. A.)—The high-
est figure of Jewish emigration from
Poland to Palestine was reached re-
cently when a party of 1,000 emi-
grants left fur Palestine. Another
party consisting of 600 emigrants left
the next day.
It has become a permanent feature
of Jewish life in Poland that at set
dates when emigrant groups leave the
central railway station in Warsaw on
their way to I'alestine, crowds of rela-
tive's and friends assemble at the de-
pot to bid them farewell. During these
gatherings, which are in character
more a demonstration of public senti-
ment than a farewell ceremony, scenes
resembling the early stages of Jewish
emigration from Russia to America
during the Czarist persecutions occur,
with the difference that in former days
a feeling of uncertainty and anxiety
prevailed, while now joy and satisfac-
tion are expressed.
I no longer desire happiness; life Is
nobler than that.
