ORGANIZING
RELIGIOUS BODY
POLISH jews
Governor General Won
Besele r Announces
New Order Permit
ting Self-Government
THE ADMINISTRATIVE
COUNCIL AS PLANNED

Berlin, Nov. 17.-(By wireless to Say
ville).-General Won Beseler. governor
general of Russian Poland, has issued an
order at Warsaw in regard to the organ
ization of a Jewish religious body in Po-
land by which self-government is given
to the Polish Jews.
Under Russian rule the Jews in Poland,
as in all Russia, lived almost without a
religious organization" says the Over
seas News Agency in describing the new
order.
by the present order of the governor
general the members of the Jewish
church are reorganized as a religious body
according to public right. Local Jewish
communities in the counties, according to
the new order, are united to county or
CARNATIONS. The heads of these county
organizations are administrative councils
which are made up from the boards of
the smaller communities and selected ac-
cording to the principles of proportional
representation.
Administrative Council
The administrative council will be COM
posed of II members, of whom three must
be rabbis. At the head of the Jewish
religious body will be a supreme Jewish
council, Professionally composed accord
ing to proportional representation. The
supreme council, according to the order
has p members, of whom IA must be lay
men and seven rabbis.
The local communities will be admins
tered through board elected by the citi-
zens of the Jewish parish under majority
rule, This board will have four members
in addition to the rabbi For the large
local communities a special organization
has been provided. They will be under
the rule Of an assembly of parish dele.
gates, which will have parliamentary
functions and of an administrative coun-
Gil which will have administrative func-
tions."
The election of parish delegates will
be according to the proportional sys-
tenn and in two sections. Each section
will elect the same number of dele
gates. People without a school educa-
ton, those who have attended a spe-
cial trade or agricultural school and
Jewish citizens who on account of
their knowledge of Jewish literature
have received the title of rabbi will
vote in the first section. All other
classes will vote in the second sec
ton. The parish delegates also will
have part in the administrative
council
The formation of associations for
divine service will be allowed in every
community. Thus a guarantee is given
That no religious tendency can be sup
pressed by the majority. To the COM
,muntiy will be entrusted the religious
life and education of the young, char
ity and social work. The local COM
munities, the county communities and
the general religious body, as repre-
scented by the supreme council, will
have the right to levy taxes and will
possess the privileges of incorporated
public corporations"
The order also contains detailed reg
ulations concerning the rabbits.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. IT,
The collision which caused the
merchant submarine Deutsch-
land to abandon her return voy-
age to Germany almost at it's
outset early today, when the con-
voying tug T. A. Scott, Jr., was
sunk with a crew of five men,
was the subject Of federal inves-

The United States inspectors of
steam vessels headed by Capt. w. E.
Whitney. heard, through witnesses Of
the conditions under which the sub
marine slipping out of the harbor in
the darkness so that she might sub
merge in neutral waters before day
break, ran down the tug which was
acting as her protector off Race rock,
just outside this port. This testimony
came from Capt. Paul Koenig, Of the
Deutschland, from F. w Krapohl, his
chief officer. and from Hans Kleese his
engineer.

Collision an Accident

1t was given in secret, but it became
known through statements outside the
chamber that the collision was an acct
dent. Survivors, who would not discuss
the matter, agreed that it was due to a
combination of swift currents which car
ried the tug off its course and across the
bow of the submarine and to the dark
ness, which was to be the Deutschland s
medium of safety, but which instead pre-
vented ready observation of the danger
ahead. Capt. Koenig would say to ques-
TONERS only:

men. l feel it deeply. You must excuse

Will Hear Hinsch's Story


Before the inspectors fix blame for the
loss of the Scott and it's crew they will
hear the testimony of Capt. Frederick
Himself, an official of the Eastern For
warding Co., who was the only survivor
on the tug. Hinsch was thrown from
the deckhouse of the tug, on which he
was standing, into the rushing water OF
the race, where he was rescued almos,
exhausted by the crew of the tug Cassie,
which was behind. Hinsch was uncon-
scous after the accident and tonight was
still so exhausted that it was said 1t
might be several days before he would be
able to testify.
Captain Harry Bake; OF the Cassie and
some of his crew also will be called to
tell of their observations.
The Deutschland's return will be delay
ed only a few days, estimated variously
from two days to week, by the damage
which she sustained and not at all by the
fact that inquiry is being made. Exami-
nation of her bow today showed that
three plates had been stove in to degree
described by some as "hole" and 9TH
ers as a dent" Her stem was twisted
to starboard. but the general structure
of the submarine was said to be undam-
aged. notwithstanding the force Of the
imnact which sent the tug to the bottom
within a few moments.
Tugs Crew Imprisoned
The men of the T. A. Scott. Jr., had
no chance for their lives. They went
down imprisoned in the pilot house, en-
CINE room or galley, and undoubtedly
we're drowned at their posts. 1t is doubt
full if their bodies will ever be recovered
although the T. A. Scott Wrecking Co.
which owned the tug, was considering TO.
night an effort to raise the craft to OBJ.
tain the bodies.
The Deutschland was moved quiet
Nv out of her protected pier early this
morning and slipped down the Thames
river to the sound under double con
voy of tugs. She carried a cargo es-
timated at about 100000, principally
composed of rubber and metals which
Germany needs in the making of mu-
nitions Of war.
