London, May II. - Communications
received by the Jewish relief socletles
of England from Kishenev, kleN and
other cities in South Russia indicate
that the movement against the Jews
has almost universal support. 1t is
stated that this fact is frequently DIS
guised, but is also sometimes openly
avowed The. police and soldiers are
represented as utterly callous to the
sufferings. even Of women and chill
dren, except where the attention OF
high officials has been directly called
to the outrages. Thousands OF Jews
are migrating southward, often With
out any definite idea OF whittier they
are bound or of how to obtain food
by the way. The forced exodus from
kiev alone involves $4,000 persons,
whose losses from the sale of immoya-
BILE property under duress run into
millions of rubles The most grevons
aspect Of the situation is that no
friendly haven opens before the waE-
