terday.
President Leon Sanders, in his re-
port, reviewed the activities of the So
ciety for the past year. Among other
things President Sanders said:
lowing to the conditions caused by
the war, Jewish immigration, as well
as general immigration, has greatly
decreased. We must, however, hold
ourselves in readiness to meet the
changes in the situation which may
be expected to follow the end of the
war.
while, on the basis of our ripe ex
perience and present knowledge, VIC
find no ground for the rash and alarm
list utterances of those who proclaim
that a vast horde of half-starved i'm
migrants will overflow this land wher
peace is concluded, we nevertheless
realize that we shall soon have to face
! an unusual state of affairs.
I'VE must not fail to realize tina
thousands Of our brethren who have
lost all their possessions through thu
war, unable to recover their ground
will be forced to join the stream o
exiles from their country, unless theil
political status is changed, and there
seems to be no reason for regarding
this as likely. We must expect much
larger Jewish immigration than ha.
| ever before come to this country"

general of immigration, complimentet

BANKS FUNDS STILL HIDDEN,

Chicago, March 1S.-While George
Webster and John Bingham were be-
ing arraigned here today in connection
with the big robbery of the Bank of
Montreal in 1911, detectives are scour-
ing the city to locate the cache"
where the bulk of the 100000 stolen
from the bank is believed to be con
cealed. 1t is claimed by the Montreal
bank officials that the arrest by the
Chicago police of Webster and Bling
ham destroyed the work of dectec-
tives who for months have been work
ing on the case, just as a roundup Of
the alleged robbers and their loot
seemed near.

were called into the case, when Web

Bingham, who also fell into the clutch

The two men caught here were neld
in $4,000 bail each. According to
the Montreal detectives, the latter
had been following the two men about
in an effort to discover the source Of
their supply of the stolen money, Of
which they expected to recover at
least $4,000. In the three years and
half since the robbery, which took
place at the New Westminster branch
of the bank on Sept. 10, 1911, the
bank has expended large sums in
seeking to round up the members of
