FACTS AS TO JEWS.
Premier PadereWski Denies
Poland Has Been Guilty of
Oppressive Measures.

PARIS. June (by the Associated
Press) Jan Paderewski, the
Polish premier. made it known today
that he had decided to ask President
Wilson to name a commission of
Americans to go to Poland and in
vestigate the charges regarding the
treatment of the Jewish population
there.
The premier's intention was re-
vealed in the making public of let
ter which he has written to Herbert
C. Hoover. head of the allied food
relief commission.
Misstatements Alleged.
II have been considering our dis
cussion on the position of the Jews
in Poland, and particularly the ac-
ton of the recent meeting in New
York in protest against the treat
ment of the Jews" the Polish pre-
mier's letter reads. ''The misstate-
ments through which that meeting
foundly. and as I and my colleagues
in the Polish government have moth
ing to conceal l have decided to re-
quest the President to appoint an
American commission to visit Poland
and investigate. If it finds any case
of transgression of the law where
justice has not been done the Polish
government will undertake to admin
lister it vigorously.
Poland is absolutely cut. off from
the world by enemy territory, so that
the world knows little of eastern
Europe or its currents except ru
mors affected by enemy coloring. I
can unhesitatingly state that the
events a. represented in the New
York meeting have not occurred. The
world little understands that the
Jews of Poland. ground for genera
tions under the heel Of our common
oppressor, are in considerable part
a people of misery, but that this mis-
cry is not the creation of the five
month-old republic. New Poland
has given the Jew every liberty of
the Gentle.
"All today sit in the congress to-
gether: all are devoted to the :solu-
ton Of the problems and meeting the
danger imperiling the new republic.

AT LEAST $4,000 GIVEN
SALVATION ARMY IN CITY
Some of Government Departments
Have Not Made Their Final
Returns for Campaign.

Although complete and final reports
are not all in, and will not be for a
day or two, it is definitely known that
the District of Columbia subscribed
at least $4,000 to the home service
fund of the Salvation Army in the ma
ton wide drive that ended last
Thursday night.
This announcement is made at cam
paign headquarters.
Some of the governmental depart
ments have not made final returns
and 1t is hoped that this total may be
considerably increased thereby.
For instance, some of the depart
ments for the benefit of which the
drive was extended in order to in
clude the next pay day are receiving
their checks today. Cleanup" re-
ports from these branches should be
in hand by the middle of the week.
and should total some $4,000, bring
ing the Districts oversubscription up
to about 100000.
Inasmuch as campaign headquar-
tiers will be kept in operation for
few days yet for these last reports,
contributions from other sources may
still be sent to Earl Goodwin, chair
man.
Kemper F. Cowing, secretary Of the
executive committee, to whom has
been given credit for excellent organ
izatfon work of the local campaign,
will probably go to Baltimore to help
he folks in that city in their drive
Baltimore has raised only $4,000 Of
it's 100000 quota

Cites Gigantic Problems.

you yourself know that in the
gigantic problem of feeding 100000
people, IS or IA per cent of whom
are Jews, the latter had equal con-
sheraton with the other elements
of the population.
The misery of the Jews in the
old Russian empire has created in
them especially that fertile field from
which bolshevism has sprung. 1t is
a melancholy fact that among the
leaders and the intelligence of that
destructive movement are today many
chosen from these oppressed Russian
Jews. 1t is the penalty eastern
Europe is paying for the mistreat-
ment of Jews in Russia in the past.
POLAND today is the outpost in the
defense of Europe and the world from
the bolshevik armies and their un-
speakable wickedness and barbarity.
Our sons are dying at this very hour
to hold this thin barrier, now hum
dreds of miles long. In this fighting
area Jews, Poles, Russians, Lithuani-

the increase would show 100000 tons In
a single month. The speeding UP OF

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The Market.

News factors of favorable tone rolled
In on Wall Street In rapid succession
yesterday, only to be disregsrded while
the market backed and filed, gave
every indication OF a tired feeling and
moved backward and forward within an
extremely narrow arc. The Presidents
speech contained nothing unfavorable to
the market, and, for that matter, moth
Ing favorable. Good news came from
the steel trade Journals, which contained
the most optimistic reports they have
had since the armistice was signed from
the Steel Corporation with an unified
tonnage considerably in excess OF expec-
tations; from the State Department in
more active interest toward the tur.
Dulent affairs in Mexico. and from the
normal call money market from pros
porous half yearly statements issued by
several large corporations. The cross
currents OF speculation. which drove
several stocks up and about an even
number of stocks down without diffi-
Guilty, were apparently set in motion by
concerted action of groups.

steel in 1919 and 1915.

In brokerage offices there is consider
able comment on the similarity of the
present situation and the one In the
early part of 1915. The only difference,
OF course, is that steel concerns find
themselves in a much stronger financial
position than In 1915, bolstered. as they
are, with rich war profits. The Steel
Corporation has a working capital or
around $500. 100000. In 1915 1t was
found necessary to cut lis common divi-
dend altogether to maintain wages. The
factor that interests Wall Street most
about steel Is that the industry Is show
ing the same trend now as then and 1t is
generally expected that in the last quar-
ter OF this year the extra dividend on
the common will be resumed, just as was
the regular disbursement In the last
quarter OF 1915. when the industry
turned the corner after wars depression.
