ASHKENAZIN AND SEPHARD-
I'M OF TURKESTAN UNITE.

One of the gratifying results of the
Zionist conference held in Samar
kand, Turkestan, last May, is the
complete union of Ashkenasic and
Sephardic Jews of whom there are
10000 in that section of Russia.
There were delegates from the
towns of Aschabad, Novo Bokhara,
Stare Bolzhara, Tschartschin, fash
kond Kokand, Antischan and Samar-
kand, as well as delegates of Bokhara
Jews residing in Europe. The Sep
hardic delegates and visitors wore
their traditional garments. The con-
ference was entered in the Golden
Book of The National Fund with a
contribution of 5000 Roubles.
simultaneously with the Zionist
conference, a general conference of
Jews of Turkestan was held in the
same city, which, in addition to a
large number of delegates was at
tended by 5000 visitors. The general
Jewish conference demanded that the
Jewish Congress of Russia consider
the question of Palestine, as funda
mental necessity for the Jewish people.
The executive committee chosen by
the general conference consists OF
both Ashkenasim and Sephardim.
The hall in which these conferences
were held was decorated with Rus
sian and Zionist flags, portraits of
Herzl. and banner reading: "Techi
hamemschalah hasemanith." (Long

First Swiss Jewish Member of Par
lament.

One of the results Of the election
for the National Council has been the
return of M. M. Goetschel, lawyer
at Del1emont. He is the first eW
in Switzerland who has attained the
highest Parliamentary honor. M.
Goetschel belongs to an old Alsatlan
family, which migrated into that
country in the early part of the last
century. The significance of the cleo
ton lies in the fact that fifty-one
years had passed since the emancipa-
ton of the Jews before one of their
number obtained seat in Parliament.
