KAISER FLATLY REFUSES TO
OPEN DOORS OF EMPIRE FOR
RUSSIAN HEBREW REFUGEES
Despite Peadngs of the Leader of the Agaran Forces and Other
influences, the Emperor Decides That the Cars Homeless
Ones Are Not Wanted in His Domain

LONDON, May 5.-The attempt Of He
brew philanthropists IN Germany TO in
duce the government TO relax the re-
strictions surrounding Hebrew immigra-
tion from Russia. have met with utter
failure. Little is known TO the public
about the endesvor Itself. for the work
had been carried on under close guard
and only now and then an occasional
scrap Of news indicated the high pres
sure at work upon the government au-
thorities.
1t Is learned from a most reliable
source that. after failing 10 interest
privy councillors and ministers. the lead
ers in the movement managed to enlist
the aid Of Herr Ballin. the director gen.
eral Of the neutrality-suspicious. Steam
ship Company. and one OF the most
intimate advisers of the Kaiser. who
laid the matter before the monarch
Herr Ballin urged. it is statCi !. that the
United States. Canada. and Great Brit
ain had uncomplainingly received in
their midst nearly 100000 Russian. Rou-
manian. and Galician Hebrews during
the last twenty-five years. and that the
time could not be far of when these
governments would call at halt. II was

that Germany should now take her
share by designating certain uncul:ivat-
ed stretches of farm land where He

army OF agraerian producers
According 10 the report. the Kaiser's
reply was a fat refusal and under the
circumstances all efforts to changer the
spirit which cOmpels the emigration Of
the Jews from eastern Europe having
proved Unavailing. some other place
must be found where the Jews may set
tie. IL appears from further infcrma-
ton that the leaders OF the movement
do not find l. easy to select such d
place. Many countries are closed 70
