from Kishineff published by the
Pester Lloyd.
The synagogue of I:4mill was de-
molished and several scores of
Jewish inhabitants were injured
when a mob of peasants who gath-
ered for the fair started an anti-
Jewish demonstration.
The agitation was started by an
assistant notary public named Sol-
ovenko, who delivered an inciting
speech to the assembled peasantry,
lulling them that Jewry is respon-
sible for the bad economic situa-
tion in Rumania and for the pov-
erty of the peasantry.
Danger Increasing.
VIF:NNA.-1.1. T. AL—Serious
danger of the extension of anti-
Jewish disorders, which began sev-
eral days ago in Ismail, Bess-
arabia, to other parts of the prov-

despatch from Rumania to the
Neues Wiener Tageblatt.
Anti-Semitic agitators find fer-
tile soil in view of the bad crop
which hos affected the peasantry
in the province.
A large part of Bessarabia is in
danger of a famine, owing to the
failure of the harvest and the local
smaal workers are in a stale of
anxiety. The failure of the har-
vest has affected five districts.

The Zionist Call.
The call of the World Zionist
• xecutive, made public to the lo-
cal Zionists, reads in part:
"The policy of transition and
preparation approved by the 15th
Congress is justified by its aim,
i. e., a renewed Haluziuth and
constructive work all along the
line. This purpose, we confidently
trust, will become increasingly evi-
dent in due course. But to attain
the object in view more exertion
is essential to secure the means for
greater productive expenditure.
The total of our two main funds
in the current years, the Keren
Ilayesod and the Keren Kayemeth,
while bearing eloquent witness to
the financial strength of our move-
ment, and to the possibilities that
can be obtained through concen-
trated endeavor, fall short. how-
ever, of the necessities. We urge,
therefore, every Zionist body and
individual to demonstrate through
their endeavor, the determination to
make the new year a turning point
in the national enterprise. Taking
note of the emphatic declaration
by the General Zionist Council as
to the pre-eminence by the two
funds, we appeal for greater self.
sacrifice on the part of every Jew
rid to contribute to that which, it
should be realized, aims at the lib-
eration and renaissance of the
Jewish nationhood.
United Front for Zion.
"The preliminaries of establish-
ing permanent co-operation with
non-Zionist groups fur the up-
building of Palestine are, it is
hoped, to be completed in the
course of the coming year. The
reasons for the extension of the
Jewish Agency, and its necessity
have but gained in weight. and is
better understood since the idea
was first propounded. It is. in-
deed, the chief achievement of the
Berlin meeting that it united the
General Council in the firm de-
termination to continue along these
lines. Our objective is to strength-
en our political basis through the
establishment of a great united
Jewish Palestine front; to dissem-
inate the Palestine Ideal among all
sections of our people and to the
acceleration of the reconstruction
of a Jewish Palestine. Backed by
on overwhelming Zionist majority,
the Executive will pursue this goal
with determination, in acordance
with the policy of the supreme
Zionist institutions."

CZERNOWITZ.--(J. T. A.)—
The entry and circulation of the
Bulletin of the Jewish Telegraphic,
Agency in any language has been
prohibited in Rumania, according
to the "Buletinul de Import-F.x-
port" No. 24, which published the
text of a circular issued by the
General Direction of Customs No.
165,466. No reason was given for
the prohibition. The circular
states: On the ground of a com-
munication from the police diret-
tion and the general sigurantza,
on the intervention of the Minis-
try of Foreign Affairs, we ask you
to prohibit the entry and circula-
tion in this country of the Bulle-
tins of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency in any language. You will
in consequence take all measures
which you consider necessary. The
circular is signed by Director Oh.
T. Cristya and Chief of Service

Jacob Landau, managing direc-
tor of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, in commenting upon the
dispatch of the order issued by
the Rumanian authorities de-
clared:
Order a Complete Surprise.
"The order of the Rumanian au-
thorities comes as a complete sur-
prise. The Jewish Telegraphic
Agency at all times has been anx-
ious to present the Jewish develop-
ments in Rumania accurately and
objectively. It has always striven
to give both sides of the question
and has in every circumstance
demonstrated an earnest desire at
fair reporting of the facts.
"This was conclusively proven
by the fact that despite the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency being serious-
ly impeded in the gathering of
Jewish news in Rumania by the
limitations imposed by the censor-
ship which still exists there, the
agency has at n11 times been ready
to present the official point of view
of the government, whenever it
placed its own interpretation on
the events. The files of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency service dis-
close a great number of official
Rumanian government statements,
denials and counter-denials.
Order Isolates Rumanian Jews.
"The step of the Rumanian au-
thorities is still more surprising in
view of the fart that some time
ago George Cretziano, Rumanian
minister to the United States.
when he heard that I might visit
Rumania during my European trip,
handed me a personally written
letter in which he recommended
me most warmly to Prince Dmitri
Ghiki of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in Bucharest, at the same
time 'raising most emphatically
the farness of the Jewish Tele-
groe/.‘• Agency Rendre.
-rae action would be under-
standable while not excusable if
the Rumanian government had
further tightened the censorship
on Jewish news from Rumania, but
the placing of an embargo on Jew-
ish news from all over the world is
indeed not only a puzzle, but seems
rather a harsh and unjustifiable
measure inflicted upon the Jews of
Rumania, who are thus isolated
from the stream of Jewish life
everywhere."
Leaders' Protests.
In addition to the protest lodged
by Col. Kisch, the action of the
Jerusalem police was protested
against by Dr. Judah L. Magness
dean of the Ilebrew University,
and Ben Zwi, labor leader.
Following the protest by Col.
Kisch, Acting High Commissioner
11. C. Luke pledged an investiga-
tion of the entire affair.
The Jewish National Council
(Yawl was convened in
extraordinary session to protest
against the outrageous action of
the police.
The chief rabbis were Informed
by the Acting High Commissioner
that the incident was caused by a
demand of Amin Husseini, chair-
man of the Supreme Moslem Coun-
cil and extreme Arab leader, con-
cerning the position of the screen.
