1000 Polish Jews
Reach Here from
Teuton Territory
East Side Greets First Large
Group of Immigrants Since
War Began

One thousand women and children
from German-occupied Poland arrived
in New York yesterday. They consti-
tuted the first large group of Jewish
immigrants that has reached this coun-
try since the war began.
Singing the "Hatikwah." the Jewish
hymn of hope, they swept in march
up East Broadway to the Hebrew Shell
tering and Immigrant Aid Society,
where the entire East Side seemed to
have turned out to welcome them. Re-
serves from two police precincts pre-
served order in the crowd which
swirled about the building as the hum
dreds clamored to greet their newly
arrived relatives.
The immigrants were from wilma,
Luna. Bialystok and Warsaw. They
set sail in January, but the boat put
back after having been three days at
sea. Through the activity of American
Jewish organizations school was
started for them there. so that nearly
all were able to pass the literary test
when they arrived.
The immigrants were sent through
Germany in cattle cars. Three days.
while they were in the neighborhood
OF Berlin, they were locked in, with in
sufficient water. they said.

Washington, May 31.-The Prince Of
Udine, Of the Italian war mission, on
the floor Of the Senate to-day, delivered
message to the American people IN
the name OF King Victor Emmanuel,
welcoming the entrance Of the United
States into the war as the final moral
! justification of the cause for which the
Allies arc fighting. The message
breathed confidence in ultimate victory
, and stressed the necessity of destroy
ing the prestige of g perverted German
science and philosophy.
"Italy," said the prince, "wants the
safety of her boundaries and her coast.
and she wants to secure herself against
new aggressions. But Italy has not been
and never will be an element of discord
in Europe. and as she willed her own
free national existence at the cost oil

and treasures of industry within their
territories, had been barbarously sac

spirit and our hope"
other parts of his speech which at
