THOUSANDS OF
JEWS STARVING
IN POLAND
LONDON, March 10 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—“The
Jewish situation in Poland and Lithu
ania is so tragic that thousands are
starving anr tens of thousands clam
oring for permission to join their rela
tives in the United States,” says a re
port just received by the London bu
reau of the Zionist organization from
its special commissioner, Israel Cohen.
The question of reuniting families, the
bureau announces, has been presented
to the state department at Washing
ton.
At Lemberg, Mr. Cohen says, he
made an inspection of the districts
damaged by the progroms and spolte
with numerous victims as well as
with Jewish representatives and with
Colonel Wade of the British mission
to Poland.
"There is abundant circumstantial
evidence proving,” his report con
tinues, “that the progrom was organ
ized by the local military authorities
who. supplied machine guns, hand
grenades, automobiles and motor lor
ries. There are sworn protocols of
500 cases in which officer patrols
took part and 2,000 cases in which
ordinary soldiers took part. The
names are known of eighteen officers
and seventy-two soldiers w'ho were
guilty of participation in assaults and
plunder.
“The Polish military command at
Lemberg is making desperate efforts
tp obtain evidence of Jewish attacks
on Polish soldiers as a justification
for the pogrom. Members of the
Jewish militia previously released for
lack of any real charge were rearrest
ed and are still imprisoned by the
order of the military commander, de
spite the decision of the examining
judge that they should be liberated.”
Damage done to personal property
during the pogrom is estimated at
100,000,000 crowns. Tlii3 does not in
clude, however, the loss sustained by
the destruction of synagogues. The
Jewish Relief Committee in Lemberg
had expended up to the time of Mr.
Cohen’s report, 1,300,000 crowns on
feeding, clothing and lodging 5,000
S fajnilies.
i “After my return from Lemberg,”
1 Mr. Cohen narrates, “I visited Cawie
cim. where, a few days ago, a band of
rowdies attacked the Jews during
worship in several houses of prayer.
They broke the windows, tore up the
books and also committed consider
able damage in the Jewish cemetery,
overturning and smashing tombstones.
The Jews at Cawiecim pay 65,000
crowns monthly for the upkeep of the
militia.”
WILSON BEST
DRESSED MAN
OF DELEGATES
i — .
PARIS, March 1 (by mail).—Top
hats and morning coats are commonly
') worn at the peace conference. Al
^ though top hats made their reappear
j , ance In Paris on Armistice day, it was
not until President Wilson arrived
i that they really began to flourish. The
President was never seen on the
street without his. According to
French observers, he was one of the
most carefully dressed of all the dele
gates. One has said that he never
saw a frock-coat sit so well on a man
as on Mr. Wilson.
To M. Hymans, one of the Belgian
delegates, is awarded the palm of be
L ing the Beau Brummel of the confer
| ence. A newspaper writer says of
I him: “It is meant as a compliment to
| him to say that he has the appear
Iance of not having stepped out of a
bandbox, but out of a tailor’s window.
The crease in his trousers is immacu
late; his morning coat is remarkable
for its beautiful tapering, and his col
lar and tie are in perfect taste.”
The morning coat is worn even by
Emir Felsai, son of the King of Hed
jaz, along with his white turban em
}j broidered with gold.
William Martin, master of cere
monies at the coriference, wears his
morning coat unbuttoned. So does
Premier Lloyd George, tyrt Mr. Bonar
Law puts the buttons of his to their
intended use.
The British foreign minister, Mr.
Balfour, refuses to join the top-hat
procession. \He clings to his soft one,
thereby, in French eyes, commiting
a heresy.
HUNTELEGRAPH
IS CENSORED
BY AMERICANS
COBLENZ, March 29.—Business in
the German postal, telegraph and tele
phone services under American cen
sorship in the occupied area has in
creased to such an extent that re
cently thirty-five additional soldiers
were added to the force of censors.
This gives Coblenz about sixty and
Treves forty in the censorship depart
ment. These two cities handle virtu
ally all the mail, telegrams and tele
phone calls from the occupied zone to
other parts of Germany.
The long distance telephone calls
are confined chiefly to business. * Per
sonal calls, excepting where it is
shown that they are important as in
cases of sickness, are not permitted.
All telephone conversations are rec
ordered, a German-speaking American
soldier taking such notes as he be
lieves will be of interest to the Intel
ligence section of the army of which
the censorship is a part.
Letters, telephone calls and tele
grams from one point to another in
the American area are not censored.
