Report Came From British.

Thursdays report of the escape of the former German crown prince from his internment in Holland, it ap- pears from the above advices, came from British official sources in Paris. The accuracy of the news was aDpar- ently accepted without question . ill peace conference circles. As the hours passed without details of the reported happening doubts be- gan to arise that the British advices wore correct. One of the Paris news papers even suggested that the ex- crown prince had been out on a lark within Dutch territorial limits and that this had given rise to reports that he had fled to Germany.
 Until further cable adVices are re- ccivcd, however, the circumstances surrounding the origin of the report can only be matter of speculation here.

ANTI-JEWIsH POGROMs IN
MORAVIA.

The details of pogrom in the
Jewish quarter of the city of Holes
chau, Moravia, part Of the new
Czecho- Slovak Republic, are given
in an issue of the Drummer Tages-
bote. According to this report, the
outrages were perpetrated by gang
Of Czecho-S1ovak soldiers who, IN
an intoxicated condition, invaded the
Jewish quarter, disarmed a number
Of watchmen and completely plum
dered every store and place of bust
ness. They devoted the whole night
to this work, in the course of which
they murdered a Jewish merchant
who had but recently returned from
the army as an invalid. In the
morning the rioters went to another
part of the city, where they contin-
ued to sack and pillage until troops
arrived from neighboring city. The
latter, however, soon joined the orig
inal pogromists. 1t is estimated that
the material damage exceeds three
million kronen Almost every Jew
in Hol1eschau was robbed Many
of them fled to Vienna and other
cities. The fugitives report that the
rioters cut the telephone and tele-
graph wires and forced the COM
mandant of the garrison at the point
of the revolver to show them the
houses of wel1-to-do Jews. A num-
Der of them entered Police Head
quarters and disarmed the gen
darme. AS they went through the
streets they shouted, ANYONE who
shows himself at window will be
shot" 1t was only until the second
day that troops from Fremsier were
able to restore some semblance Of
order. These troops were soon rein
forced by others from Brunn with
a. machine gun.
