who, with one or two exceptions,
were zionists. They cited the pur-
pose Of the meeting at which they
were arrested.
The Polish press, to protect the
budding Polish army at all costs,
then adopted desperate tactic. 1t
readily fell in agreement with the
statement that the young men were
Zionists, but asked what difference
did it make? They were Jews
and all Jews in Poland were Boil
sheviki.

u. S. Relief York
Menaced by Act

The American Relief and Politi-
cal Missions in Warsaw, which for
weeks had been exerting efforts to
allay the sharp conflict between the
Christian and Jewish elements in
Poland, saw their work destroyed at
one blow. Colonel W. R. Grove,
head of the mission for Poland Of
the American Relief Administra-
tion, telegraphed to one of his cap
tains at Brest-Litovsk to proceed
Immediately to Pinsk and investi-
gate the entire matter. Reginald
c. Foster, Of the American Political
Mission, who is the unofficial charge
d'affaires at Warsaw, said that he
too would go to Pinsk in a day or
two to make report to the peace
conference. asked Mr.. Foster if
could not go along. Perfunctorily
he said that I could. But I was
given to understand that it was not
desired that correspondents go and
| was not told when he would leave.
l could not go to Pinsk on my own
initiative because the ordinary pass
port does not hold good there, the
area being under military control.
Fortunately, however, the evil
dence for which I wanted to 20 to
Pinsk the evidence from the
Polish side-came to me to War
saw. The most important witness
in the Pinsk affair on the Polish
side is the Catholic priest at that
city, Father Kasimierz Bukrava,
The morning after the execution
Father Bukrava publicly expressed
adherence of the deed. The Jewish
press of Warsaw naturally made
much of such an important witness
IN their favor. The Polish govern
ment then summoned the Pinsk
priest to the capital post-haste, and
it thus happened that while the
American and Allied political mis-
slons were on their way to Pinsk
to get evidence the most important
witness was telling me the story of
the massacre in his room in a hotel
IN Warsaw. + did not get to see
Father Bukrava until after the
Polish authorities had seen him. He
was reserved in his talk, but the
statement he made to me was start
ling, none the less.
Father Bukrava's statement fol-
lows:
Il personally am convinced that
that which happened at Pinsk was
due to a constellation of unfortu-
nate circumstances. In the first
place, the Polish army was Just
then making an offensive on the
Bolsheviki with very small force.
They were suffering defeat because
the telephone wires had been cut
Who cut these wires no one knows.
They might have been cut by
peasants as we'll as by any one, but
popular rumor attributed the cut
ting OF the wires to Jewish Boil
sheviki, and passion ran high in
certain spheres. That is circum-
stance number one.

! IN THE afternoon Of Satur.
Y day, April 5, in the city OF
Pinsk, about one hundred
Jews, men and women, the majority
of them members of cooperative So
cieties, were gathered at the Jewish
clubhouse to discuss ways and means
for the proper distribution of the
food which had just been received
from America. At $3.50 o'clock a
company of soldiers from the Polish
/ army occupying the white Russian
! city which the Poles had recently
taken from the Russians entered the
clubhouse and arrested the entire
gathering on suspicion that they
were Bolsheviki.
The hundred men and women were
marched off to the office Of the
city commandant, where they we're
searched and relieved of all val
uables. They were then marched
into the marketplace, lined up
against the wall surrounding the
Catholic church and sorted. The
women and old men were put to one
side, while thirty-seven young and
middle-aged men were put to an
other side, and told that they were to
be summarily shot. A military au-
tomobile carrying a machine gun
and soldiers drove up in front of
the men, who were surrounded by
q Gordon of troops. The reflector
lamps of the car were turned on
them, as it was already dark. The ,
machine gun was turned on them,
and in addition squad of soldiers
was given the command to aim
their rifles. Several salvos were
fred, and the thirty-seven young
men were mown down amid horrible
wailing. One of them had gone in
sane and died while chanting the
holiest prayer of the Jewish Day of
Atonement, "Kol Nidre."

Ne,cs of the Massacre
Presented to Parliament

The Interpolation to the Sejm
presented by the Jewish Deputies
reads as follows:
"To the Minister President and to
the Minister Of War: The Jewish
Deputies have received the follow
ing two statements about mass execu-
tions which were committed at Pinsk
upon the Jewish population on the 5th
of April by the military there, and in
which more than forty Jews fell vic
tim.
Statement No. (here follows a
brief note to the Jewish Deputies by
Baruch Zukerman, of New York, who
is one of the members of the Joint Dis
tribution Committee of the American
Funds for Jewish War Sufferers, giving
the first announcement Of the massacre
at Pinsk. Mr.. Zukerman was in Pinsk
day before the massacre. After or
ganizing a committee there to take
charge of the help which was sent from
America, he started for Brest- Litovsk
to make similar arrangements there. 1t
was while he was in Brest-Litovsk that
he received the news of the massacre

of his committee were among those ex-
ecuted). ,S4r 4 sssa! assssy 80 $3.50

Saturday, April 5, Jews were continu-
ously dragged to do forced labor, to
clean barracks, cut wood, peel potatoes,

afternoon two young men, seeing SOL
diers approaching them, turned away
in the direction of the Peoples House.
The soldiers pursued these young men
into the clubhouse. In the Peoples
House there were at the time several
scores of persons. A number of them
happened to be holding at the time a
meeting of the Zionist cooperatives. fo,
which meeting they had a special per-
NIT from the city commandant. Of ths
others, number were busy looking
over the names of the persons for
whom money had arrived from Amer

up in the clubhouse. The remainder
sat about tables, reading newspapers.

all the men who were gathered there

small bribe they left Half an hour
later there came to the Peoples House

to escape through side door. A SOL

MORE IMPORTANT THAN
POLITICS.

Z The reports made of political
conditions as existing in all parts
of the United States, except IN
large cities, is to the effect that
people are taking little interest in
political questions. With the end
of the war, there has come an IN
crease Of business in all lines Of
work. and a steady demand for
agricultural lands. There is a
wave of prosperity which is held
back to some extent by the high
cost of commodities, but promises
to break through, as soon as the
Peace Treaty is out of the way
and the country brought back to
q more settled state.
While all good citizens ought to
take an active interest in matters
affecting their State and local
governments, and ought to exer-
else the right of ballot. there is no
good reason why this should be
made the most important duty
they have to perform. There is
no cause for a people of a parish
to engage in a war political cam
paign with two partisan factions
each striving to down the other
with the object of winning the
contest for the offices as a prize. |
Such political contests only tend
to divide the people of a State or !
parish, and are responsible for
holding back and delaying sub
stantial improvements which are
needed in both State and parish,
and which can be gotten only byl
united efforts. Napoleonville Pho

A contemporary says that news
paper subscriptions are infallabie
tests Of q mans honesty. They
will sooner or later discover the
man. lie he is dishonest he will
cheat the printer some way; say
he has q receipt somewhere, or sent
the money and it was lost in the
mail, or he will take the paper
and not pay for it on the ground
that he did not subscribe for it, or
move away leaving it to come to
the Office he left. Thousands Of
professed christians are dishonest
in this particular at least, and the
printers book will tell fearful
