dates of March Is and March and
like the report from the Brest-Pinsk
district, have been transmitted to
America through Mr.. Strauss. In
his report of March 10, he says:
"The Joint Distribution Commit
tees $4,000 arrived in good time
and very welcome. Several of the
most urgent charities here had
about reached the end of their rope.
This was the case with the Galician
fugitives and Galician orphans

are threatened with eviction from
their already pretty miserable
homes here in Prague.

Anti-Semitic Feeling Pronounced.
In addition to the terrific want
caused by lack Of food. funds, or
employment, Mr. Alsberg, in his
earlier report, dated March 5, in
detail, describes the anti-Semitic
feeling which has led to pogroms
and has prevented large numbers of
the Jews from doing business or OBJ
tanning employment. A boycott of
all Jews has been proposed, which
would mean absolute starvation for
the entire Jewish population. He
says:

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD


ISOLATION trying to secure the Jews
minority rights.
In addition to these two official
sources of information, | have had
various private sources, especially
as to the privately run institutions,
which, eventually, will also furnish
me with detailed reports of needs.
"Since I wrote you last, have
been looking about me and have
reached the conclusion that the situ-
alton of the Jews in Czecho-Slo-
vakia is unbelieveably bad.
Plundering and Looting of Jewish
Shops.
'In the first place, throughout
Czecho-Slovakia, from the signing
Of the armistice up to perhaps a
month ago, there was p1undering
and looting of Jewish shops and
homes and in one case, at any rate,
"a real pogrom, that of Hillischau,
where two Jews were killed and a
large number wounded. Slovakia
proved the scene of the worst per-
secutions and abuses. But now the
situation there has become better.
In Prague and Bohemia and Mora
via it has become decidedly worse.
The result of this persecution
which lasted into January, was that
many people were driven out of the
small towns, where life became TN
bearab1e, and took refuge in the
larger towns. This is creating
new Jewish proletariat of destitute
and unemployed. The active, coun-
try-wide, physical oppression,
seems, for the time, to have stopped,
however.
"However, the conditions in
Prague, Bohemia and Moravia, gen.
orally are most precarious, as dis
tinguished from S1ovakia The anti
semitism, whatever it's cause, is
quite beyond belief It happens
frequently that Jews are stopped on
the streets by 1egionaries and in
suited and beaten up. Jews have
up by the crowds outside awaiting
them. Popular prejudice is such,
that, in the opinion Of the best in
formed people, a real reign of vio
1ence against the Jews may break
out at any moment. AS it is, even
now, the Jews in Prague, who con-
troll about Is per cent of the bust
ness, close their shops all afternoon

ers into the town slaughter house
to slaughter the beef in a ritual
manner. AS yet the Jews still re-
ceive their rations of food, aside
from the meat, without discrimina-
ton, on food cards, like the rest of
the population. Aside from this
matter of the butchers there has not
been any interference with the Jew
ish food supply.
1.-TWO weeks ago, at a large meet
ing in one of the biggest halls a
formal association was formed for
the boycott of the Jews. 1t was
agreed to boycott all goods and all
business relations with Germans (of
Bohemia, who number 3,OO0,OOO)
and Jews. If this becomes at all
effective, the Jews in Czecho-
Slovakia will face starvation, espe-
cialy the small shop-keeper, the
middleman, and the manufacturer.
Practically every young man, even
of good family, whom one meets,
wants to emigrate as soon as pos
sible."
Monastir a Ruined City.
A most interesting report of con-
ditions in Serbia has come from
Miss Hetty Goldman, who has also
been in Greece, spending much of
her time in Salonika doing pressing
relief work largely made necessary
as the result of the disastrous con-
fagration there Miss Goldman's
report deals more particularly with
Monastir and gives very complete
picture of the changes wrought in
that city as the result Of warfare
"Monastir is beautifully situated
in the hollow of lofty hills and was d,
once a city of substantial we1l-built
houses, but it has been destroyed in
great part by the long lombard
ment, and it is safe to say that
hardly single building is without
some marks Of shell fire. The peo-
pie are all housed owing to the fact
that their number has been reduced
to less than half of the original
population, but they are living
crowded together in damp cellars
and in rooms without windows and
doors under conditions which must
breed, if not epidemic diseases, at
least chronic affections like tuber-
culosis and rheumatism Perhaps

AM. ICE co. RUNNING ICE
AT CHELSEA HOUSES
Will Begin Today at Berry and Cedar
Grove Houses. and Probably Friday
at Stearns' Point-Iee Said to Az.
eraee ~ to ~ Inches in Thickness

Word was received Wednesday
from the down river ice fields, where
the American Ice CO. had made a
star. with the idea Of housing as
muca ice as is possible on the Ken
nebec river. that in spite Of the fact
that the past two or three days have
not been ideal ice weather, the work
Of running the crystal cakes up the
elevators and into the houses has
been commenced and good progress
is being made. The ice runs from Il
to II inches in thickness and it IS
claimed that where il was covered by
snow the soft" weather Of Monday
and Tuesday did but little harm.
TIL. work of housing ice at the
Chelsea houses was commenced on
Tuesday afternoon, and on yesterday
everything was working fine. Al the
Berry and Cedar Grove houses the
work Of running ice will probably
begin this Thursday morning, and il
is expected that operations at the
INDEPENDENT houses Will begin this
afternoon. It was considered probable
on Wednesday that the work of run
ming ice at Stearns' Point would be
commenced Friday morning. II is re-
ported that the ice is Of about the
thickness mentioned above at all the
places where operations are planned.
