"I believe I am speaking the
mind of every member of the

victims of the recent events in
Palestine our sympathy and assur-
ances to continue our policy.
"When the idea of the mandate
was installed, it was clearly under-
stood that the nations undertook
an international responsibility.
This responsibility will be carried
out and I give you the assurance
that the situation in Palestine is
now well in hand.
"There is no racial conflict in
Palestine. There is no conflict at
all. I ask you not to make this •
Jewish-Arab issue, but to condemn
the incidents. It is uprising and
disorder, and whatever the motive
may be it must be suppressed in
the interest of the maintenance of
peace and the execution of the
duties imposed on the British by
the mandate •nd the League of

Detroit Jewry raised its voice in protest against the savage Moslem atrocities in

In the audience was reflected the determination of the Palestine pioneers to carry on the work
I begun. But this determination did not prevent `florid of tears in expression of sorrow over the suffer-
ings inflicted upon the Jewish population. During the chanting of the "El Mole Rachamim" by 20 can-
tors and members of the Halevy-Ilazomir Choral Society, under the leadership of Cantors H. Milkovsky
and S. Rosenfield, hundreds wept in their sorrow over the losses suffered in Palestine.
The keynote of the meeting was shuck by Rabbi A. N.. Hershman, who was the first speaker. In
a masterful and very eloquent ad-

the indifference of British officials
in Palestine and demanded in the
name of Jewry that those respon-

retary of the British Government on Nov. 2, 1917,
pledging the best endeavors of His Majesty's Gov-
ernment in facilitating the es-
' tablishment of the Jewish Na-

letter to Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
as president of the Jewish
Agency for Palestine. The let-
ter read:

LORD BALFOUR
have been pursuing so success-
fully in Palestine under the Mandate system with all
its inherent difficulties.
"The British Empire and all powers with whom
it has been closely associated have solemnly declared
their intention of again rendering Palestine the Na-
tional Home of the Jewish people. That policy is in
harmony with the best opinion of western civilization
in all parts of the world. To its fulfillment is prom-
ised the support of the British Empire.

It is not going to be dishonored.

There were three offices of the
Inquisition in Portugal—one at

at Coimbra—and there was a
fourth at Goa, in South America.
Only the palace of Evora remained
intact to the present day.
When the inquisition was abel-
. lobed in Portugal by the Constitu-
ent Assembly in 1821, the mob in-
vaded these palaces and destroyed
the instruments of torture. A large
part of the archives and records
of the proceedings were saved,
however, and 40,000 of these rec-

the entire city. On its site now
stands the National Theater.
In Coimbra not even the site has
been preserved, but in Evora the
palace came into the possession of
a Portuguese family which kept it
intact and closed to all curious
eyes. Recently, on the death of
the last member of this family,
Madame Mahie Christina de Lemon
Vieira. the Inquisition Palace of
Evora was acquired by a group of
financiers, who built a tourist hotel
on the site called Hotel Alemtejo.
The correspondent has paid a visit
to the building, which has not suf-

and torture rooms of the Inquisi.

People Society of Shaarey Zedek
will be opened with a meeting to
be held on Tuesday evening, Sept.
10, at 8 o'clock, in the branch syn-
agogue on Twelfth street between
Clairmount and Atkinson.
This meeting is open to all young
people whose parents are affiliated
with the synagogue. and their
friends. Everyone who attended
the meetings last year is urged to
attend this meeting, which will be
devoted to organization work and
matters of importance to anyone
wishing to become associated with
the society during the coming year.
At this time anyone who wishes to
work on a committee will be given
an opportunity to state his prefer-
ence. It is the hope of the board
of directors that every-one in the
club will be active on a committee
or in some other way.
Hoke Levin, who is continuing
as president, will be in charge of
this meeting. The officers assist-
ing Mr. Levin, and who were elect-
ed at the final meeting of last sea-
son, are Irving Moss, vice-presi-
dent; Miss Rosalie Goldstick, sec-
retary-treasurer; Miss Naomi
Goldstein, corresponding secretary;
and Misa Moyer, board member.
Inasmuch as nearly every one of
these officers had some connection
with the club last year and Is fa-
miliar with its aim and with the
abilities of its members, moth is
expected of them this season. They
will be aided in their work by the
chairman of the various commit.
tees.
