PROCLAMATION TO
JEWS BY AUSTRIA

London, Sept 9-Q.50 A. Ny
German newspapers which have
reached London quote the following
proclamation issued by Austria to the
Jews in Poland:
The heroic armies of the mid Eu-
ropean states OF Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary have entered Poland.
Our flags bring justice, freedom and
equal rights as citizens, religious free
aom and freedom to live undisturbed
in economic and cultural life.
TO long you have suffered under
the iron yoke of Moscow. We come
as friends. The foreign barbarian
yoke is gone. A new era begins for
Poland. We will use all our strength
to put it on a sure foundation Of
equal rights for the Jews.
DO not be deluded by the flatter-
ing promises of the Gear which al
ready you have heard too often. How
did he keep his word?
Think of the awful Punishment of
the great masses of Jews Think of
the cities Of Kishiney. Gomel, Bialy-
stok and Sedlec! And their hundreds
of Pograms. Now that the Cxar
feels himself between the hammer
and the anvil he renews his promises.
Your sacred duty is to work with us
with all your might for freedom"

General Invitation All Those Made Homeless Through the
War-Volunteer Committee in Charge
OF Relief Work

London, Sept. 9.-(7.40 p. M)-SiXty
thousand Belgian refugees are expect
ed TO arrive in England in the next
10 days. The British government eX-
tended today a general invitation to
all Belgians made homeless through
the war to come to England, and the
Volunteer War Refugees Committee
has undertaken to receive and care
for these refugees.
Postmaster General Samuel was
loudly cheered in the House of Com
mons when he referred to the fact that
British hospitality had been extended
to the Belgians. He said that the com
mittee was in touch with 5000 Bel
gians now on the way to England
and that thousands of homeless per-

Six temporary depots have been estab-
lished in London where over 5000 Belgians
will be sheltered and fed until they are
placed in the homes of charitable Eng
lish families Homes have already been
offered for 10000 Belgians.
Sotch and Welsh towns are especially
anxious to entertain the Be1gians and
the country believes it can make pro-

The British government is providing
special boats TO Ostend for the purpose
of transporting the people as rapidly as
they gather there. Women and children
are given the preference, but many men
unfit for military service will also ~e
transferred to England and will return
to Belgium. The depots are filled with
Belgians of all classes. rich and poor,
driven out by the war and temporarily
stranded here.
Few of the refugees have any baggage
and their unfamiliarity with the English
language makes ii necessary for large
corps of volunteer workers and interpret
ers to meet all trains for protective pur-
poses.

People are not getting the real news

Mrs. Arnold was at Trefois when
Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the
Duchess of Hohenberg were shot to
death in the streets of Sarayevo, the
