With more than one million workers on strike and wide
spread reports of disorders in Austria and Hungary, the stu
alton in the dual monarchy is beclouded, the censorship having

German newspapers from telling of the situation in Austria.
Efforts of Austrian statesmen to quiet the hungry people in
their demand for peace apparently failed of their purpose and
the censorship which permitted the promises of the govern

its ban. IL xs+s s

After declaring that the Gear In
his balmiest days never did more
harm than the Bolsheviki have DONE
he reminded labor that it has its Boil

was one organization that had so con
Quoted itslef that it was now without
power to make a showing, much less
a fight. While Mr.. Gompers did not
name the organization, delegates said
he plainly meant the Industrial Work

From the convention hall Mr.,
Gompers went to the state capitol
where he spoke at the meeting Of the
Indiana state council of defense.
Regrets He Can't Fight
"My only regret in the present sit

me. But l am serving to the best OF
my ability. / feel, too, that l am hay
ing some success in appealing to our
working people to give wholehearted
support to our country. The result of

suspend the laws or reduce the stand

of this country have labored. But

great emergency, fatigue counts for

for which they stand-they count for
everything.

ment in which he said:
"a cablegram from Petrograd
printed in the American press to-
day tells that three Jews, Trotzky,
Kamenev and Sverdlov, occupy i'm

role the Russian Jews are playing
in the Bolshevist movement which
has brought the new democracy to
the verge of ruin.

YOUNG JEWISH AVIATOR
DOWNS THREE PLANES.
"PERSHING."

In the Service Flag of the Mikve
Israel Synagog of Philadelphia,
there is star which represents First
Lieutenant Jacques M. Swaab,
whose most recent exploit was
feature of Associated Press cable
dispatches of September II. On that
day, while flying over the battle
lines, Lieutenant Swaab engaged a
German Fokker in combat and drop
ped it, defeated, to earth. Now,
finding himself approached by a
squadron of enemy planes, engaged
the first which met it's fate when
it fell burning as result of his gun
fire, and then he took on one more
of these German airships and sue
ceeded in destroying that, too, be-
fore he deemed it expedient to make
for home.
Lieutenant Swaab, now just past
q years of age, is a member of an
old, we'll known Philadelphia family,
and he was educated in the public
schools Of Philadelphia, being
graduate of the Boys Central High
School. He is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mayer M. Swaab. Eight years
ago the family moved to New York,
where the lieutenant entered Frank
lin School to prepare for the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, from
whence he graduated in the class
of 1916 with the degree of B. S.,
Wharton School.

FINNISH AMBASSADOR
DENIES EXPULSION OF
FINNISH JEWS.

The Finnish Ambassador to Ger
many in statement to the German
press denied the charges of the Jew
ish Press Bureau of Stockholm that
the Finnish Government has expelled
all Jews from Finland, although
he did not deny the expulsion Of
many of them. The Finnish Am
bassador declared that the Finnish
Parliament nearly a year ago re-
moved all obstacles to the naturall-
zation of Jews and that "only a
few single Jews had lost their right
of naturalization because they had
taken part in the Red Guard re-
bellion against the legitimate gov
ernment" (By the Legitimate"
government the Finnish Ambas
sador naturally means the German
made autocracy now ruling Finland.)
The Finnish Ambassador is further
quoted by the German press as say
ing: because of the shortage OF
food provisions the Finnish Govern
ment saw itself compelled to order
all foreigners in the country, espe-
cially the Russians, among whom
naturally there is great number of
Jews, to leave the country i'm
mediately. 1t is not true, however,
that this order referred to Jews who
had settled down in the country.
Neither have the Russian Jews been
placed in a worse situation than the
other nationalities.

NEWS ABOUT JEWS EVERYWHERE

tlves of the Russian people they I'M
derstood the historical sense of the
great war and rushed into the Rus
sian army, fighting bravely for
democracy, even under the Cars
banners. After the March revolt
ton the Jews in Russia took def
mite stand, supporting the Provis-
ional Government and opposing the
Bolshevist adventure.
"The cablegram in question, while
mentioning that Trotzky, Kamenev
and Sverd1ov are Jews, does not
mention that Dora Kaplan, who shot
Lenine and was executed by the
Bolsheviki, was a Jewess. It does
not mention that Kamkov, whose
real name was Katz, one of the lead
ers of the Social Revolutionists of
the Left, who was executed by the
Bolsheviki, together with Maria
Spiridonova, for the assassination
of the German Ambassador, Won
Mirbach, was a Jew. And as far
as we can judge from the name, the
young man who assassinated Field
Marshal Won Eichhorn was also
Jew.
"The presence of several Jews
among the leaders of the Bolsheviki
will indeed be used by reactionaries
to stir up anti-Semitic propaganda.
Tens of thousands of innocent Jew
ish lives will probably be the pay
ment for the mania grandiosa of Mr..
Trotzky. But it. should be stated
before the civilized world in the
name of justice that there are many
Jews who fight actively against the
Bo1sheviki as a danger to democ
racy, and that the Jews as nation
respond to the Allies cause in Rus
sia."
