LANDS.
LANDS.

The first Jew to be elected to the
National Council of Switzerland
was returned recently. This distinc-
ton fell to M. M. Goetschel, a law
yer of Dellemont. Fifty-one years
had passed since the emancipation
of the Jews in Switzerland before
one of their number obtained seat
in Parliament.
M. Louis Lucien Klotz retains, in
M. Clemenceau's cabinet, the post
of Minister of Finance, which he had
held in M. Painleve's cabinet, as in
several other previous cabinets. M.
Edouard Ignace, member for Paris
in the Chamber of Deputies, has
been appointed Under Secretary of
State for War. He is a lawyer by
profession and practices in the Court
of Appeals. M. Clemenceau has ap-
pointed M. Georges Mandel as his
principal Private Secretary.
Signor Morpurgo is Under Secre-
tary of State for Industry and Com
merce and Signor Reggie is Under
Secretary of State for Transports in
the recently formed Italian Min
istry.
The French Academy Of Science
has awarded the Tchehadcheff prize
of 5000 francs to Sir Marc Auries
Stein, Inspector of the Indian Arch
Geological Survey, for his explora-
tons in Central Asia.

lasted three days. Nearly all the
shops of the Jews were looted by
gang of 1000 Bolslleviki troops, de-
serters and Black Hundreds. At
Ostrog, a similar gang in state of
intoxication carried out searches
and looting in a large number of
houses and business places occupied
by Jews. In several places there
were also fatalities to Jews. Thus,
at Benderi, ew by the name of
Gutman was killed. Another Jew
lost his life in Kharkoff. At Kief,
rioters murdered the sugar factory
owner, M. Lieberman and his wife
and did damage to the extent Of &c.
600 roubles.
The riots in Odessa during last
week, which were said to be en-
counters between the Ukrainists and
Bolsheviki, started with the shoot
ing of young Jew. This was the
signal for continuous orgies and
rioting which extended over five
DAYS and it was not until the end
of the week, after the citizens or
ganized themselves into self-defense
groups, that normal conditions were
restored. The fighting, however,
between Bolsheviki and Ukraine
troops is described to take place in
the district which is thickly popu-
lated with Jews and the Jews are no
doubt the greatest sufferers in the
conflict.

POGROMS IN KHARKOW.

Petrograd (by ]. Glowing to
the food shortage pogrom has been
going on in Kharkow for weeks. A
rumor has been spread that the
Jews were boarding food and as
result, on the pretense of searching
the houses they are being attacked
and plundered.
Similar pogroms are taking place
in Rostow. A Jewish jewelry shop
was attacked and robbed. The po-
lice put the robbers under arrest,
but they were compelled to let them

Petrograd (by J. C)-Reports

pogroms upon Jews at Tambov, and
it appears that the socalled ere

a very ugly role. During the po-
grom there happened to be in SEES
sion the local Council of Workmen
and Soldiers, and the leaders of the
Council proposed that militia should
be sent to stop the pogrom, but the
proposal met with vigorous protests.
The vice-president of the Council,
the Jewish lawyer Katzenelson,
wanted to speak but the masses did
not let him. Some wanted to do him
bodily harm and he had to escape
