JEWISH ATHLETES TO HOLD
CONGRESS AT LODI,
POLAND.

Wlaclawek.-A tournament (such
tournaments are frequently held in
different places with the idea of
furthering physical development
among Jews) of athletic and gym
nastic organizations recently took
place here. Representatives were
present from LODI, WARSAW, Flock,
Kutno, Oxen, Stocho and Tomas
Jew. The whole local Jewish popu-
lation turned out to witness the ex-
ceptlonal gymnastic feats of the
contestants. In the evening a bust
ness session was held at which it
was decided to call congress Of all
Jewish athletic organizations in Po-
land, with the object of centralizing
the efforts and activities Of these diff
ferent organizations. The congress,
it was decided, will be held at LODI,
and will have the following program
for consideration:
l. The combining of all athletic
and gymnastic organizations in Po-
land.
2. The establishment of one Ian
guage as medium for instruction.
3. To define the attitude of these
organizations to the Jewish national
movements.
f. Cultural work.
5. The ablishment of an organ.
A banquet concluded the proceed
ings, in which the whole town par
ticipated.

this document the military authori-
ties are ordered to place all Jewish
soldiers, whether volunteers or con-
scripts, in the first fire in battle.
1t further says that all these "aliens
are under suspicion, and the military
authorities should keep a sharp eye
on them" When the Jews in Rou-
mania protested against this order
to the Ministry no denial was made
nor was there any promise of sup
pressing this nefarious order made
by the ministry.

FRANCE AND THE TUNISIAN
JEWS.


Mr.. Podrushnik describes in a re-
cent issue of the New York daily,
Der Tog, the present relationship
of the Jews of Tunis to the French
Government It will be remembered
that while France has established it's
suzerainty over Tunis, the native
Jews were still under the misrule
of the Bey, and received no redress
from the French Government. Their
requests for naturalization have not
been needed, and they were left un-
protected and practically without
rights at the mercy of the Moham-
medan courts. The Alliance Israe-
lite, which has conducted schools
there for the past forty-fve years,
succeeded in raising a generation of
Jews possessed of modern culture
and conscious of their personal dig
nifty, and these young students felt
the insult most keenly. Their ap-
peals to the French Government for
a recognition of their rights received
no response
When the present war broke out,
many of these young Jews voluntar-
lily enlisted in the French army and
were placed in the Foreign Legion.
Now the suggestion is made in gov
eminent circles in France that all
the Jews of Tunis should be natur-
allied. This step would bring to
France several additional regiments
of soldiers, since those who will be-
come French citizens will be forced
to join the army. This step is heart
lily Endorsed by the French press, and
it will probably soon go into effect.
1t is difficult to say whether France
or England shows the greater hu-
manltarianism, for the latter country
in dealing with the problem of en-
listing Russian Jews resident in
England would not naturalize them
in wholesale, but promises to grant
only to those who
have served for some time in the
army.

SITUATION IN ROUMANIA,
Jewish Volunteers Refuse
Christian Passports.

A number. of Roumanian Jews in
Paris who volunteered for service
in their native country and appealed
to the consul to send them home
were suddenly confronted with the
difficulties of the passport regu1a-
tons. for foreign Jews travelling via
Russia. The Roumanian Consul
decided to describe them in their
passports as Christians and thus OBJ
viate the difficulty, but the volun-
teers declined to accept the pass
ports and requested the consul to
find some other solution to the diff

Equal Rights for Jews.
The German military authorities,

equal rights with the rest of the in

supply WHICH every OtncT group may
then receive, if the degree of self
government is simply that incident
to forming a majority of the popu
lation in that section of the coun-
try and the general extension of bal
lot, then the same object might have
been expressed by insisting upon a
democratic form of government for
Turkey. To ask for a special home
specially secured and recognized
in a democracy is meaningless.
1t has meaning only in an en-
vironment inimical to such
home, such security and recogni-
ton. Zionism is the product of So
cial injustice. 1t seeks to rear wall
against this world of injustice. It
will not wait until social Justice
spreads to include Jew and Gentle
alike, But long before that era it
seeks to create sanctuary, city
of refuge especially for the Jew. It
will not wait until the spread OF
democracy reaches Palestine. Long
before, it would offer feast Of free
dom for the Jewish people on the
charitable leavings of nations.
No Jew can fail to sympathize
with the ultimate ends of Zionism as
expounded by it's leaders. In SO far
as Zionism is protest against the
prosecutions of an ancient people,
a demand for the granting natural
rights" to Jews, an aspiration for
self expression and self-realization
of the Jewish consciousness, hope
that people,, so wonderful when
dispersed, will prove yet greater
blessing unto themselves and all
mankind when free to live their
group-life on a soil, sacred to them
by reason of it's associations,-in so
far all are Zionists. But when the
Zionist seeks to build his Zion, not
upon an emancipated Israel and
among free peoples, but upon an
oasis of special privilege in desert
of inequalities, there are many who
cannot follow them The democrat
believes that the hope of Zionism
without democracy first is fallacy
and folly. The non-Zionist believes
that an emancipated Israel means
legally secured and publicly
recognized home for Jews in Pal
estine and out of it. Without eman-
cipation and democracy Zionism
may continue as it has for 5000
years, prayer but not political
probability. With emancipation and
democracy all lands will be Zion and
everywhere will the daughters of
Zion "sing their songs of praise, of
freedom and of low

TENANTS TO PETITION
 FOR NEGRO ELEVATOR IN MAIN ENTRANCE
Jefferson County Bank Building Ten ants Claim That Negroes Should Not Be Forced to Ride the
 Freight Elevator

Tenants of the Jefferson County bank building are circulating petition which is to be presented to the state banking charge of the building. asking that ne- groes be allowed to use certain speci- fled elevator in the main entrance.
 This course of action was determined upon after a conference Saturday att tended by a number sof the lawyers, physicians and other tenants. At the present time, it is declared, all negroes who have business in the various offices are required to go to an entrance in the rear of the building and use an elevator which carries the freight. All of the public and office buildings in the city with the exception of the Jefferson county bank, either have one elevator in the main entrance set aside for the negroes or where there is only one, they are al- lowed to ride with the white people.
 Some of the attorneys, physicians and other tenants of the building who have more or less business with negroes, de- clare that the present system in force at the Jefferson County bank is detri- mental to those having offices therein. They state that the negroes dislike to be put to the inconvenience of waiting sometimes for the freight to be unloaded before they can ride and that many of
 negro clients or patients have gon-s to lawyers and doctors in other buildings rather than continue to do so.
 The building is now under control of the state banking department, of which Alex F. Walker is superintendent. w. w. Crawford is the agent of the depart ment in winding up the affairs of the defunct bank and is also in charge of the opera tions of the structure. The present system of having a rear entrance and elevator for negroes has been in 1orce since the structure was Shuit.
 Horace C. Afford an attorney in the building, started the petition, which, ha states, has been signed by majority of the doctors and lawyers as well as many others who sometimes have busi- ness with negroes,
