YIDDISH LANGUAGE
is NOW FORBIDDEN

THE HAGUE, Nov. 15.-The Jew
ish correspondence bureaW hears
grave complaints from the Jews in
Polish territory occupied by the Aus
trians. The occupying power is de-
clared to have become daily more
anti-Jewish, despite its promises OF
leliverance from Russian tyranny"
made when the Austrian army en-
tered Poland.
The use of Yiddish is forbidden,
and none of the ordinances made by
the Germans regulating the status OF
Jews in German occupied territory has
been made operative in the Austrian
section where, in fact, the Jews pos
sess no rights whatever.
The Austrian excuse is that the old
Russian discriminative laws govern
ing the position of the Jews in Poland
cannot be abolished, even though they
are no longer operative in Russia it
SELF and all efforts to remedy this
state of affairs have failed.
