ASK PROBE INTO
TREATMENT OF
JEWS IN POLAND
Paderewski to Ask President
Wilson for Commission of
Americans to Investigate;
Letter Made Public.

Paris, June l.--Ignace Jan Pader-
ewski, 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 investigate the charges
regarding the treatment of the Jew
ish population there.
The premier's intention was re-
veaed in the making public of a
letter which he has written to Her
bert c. Hoover;

War Taught Us To Live
for Others Says Bishop
Bishop.Eec Ernest v Shayer of the Episcopal Diocese
of Nebraska breaches in Trinity Cathedral On the
Blessings of the War to Humanity

"The travail and pain OF the great
war have been the means of bring
ing new birth to the people of the
world in accordance with the words
of St. Paul" declared Rev, Ernest
V. Shayler, bishop elect of the Epis-
copal dioceses of Nebraska, preach
ing yesterday at Trinity cathedral
Before the war we of the United
States we're getting rich. Our
youths were growing up without
restraint of custom or law, going
according to their own sweet wills,
ungoverned and often ungovernable
in their homes. Many women spent
their time in idleness, playing cards
morning, noon and night.
THE war came. Women left the
card tables, for the Red Cross put
its holy mark upon them and they
have learned to live for others. They
have exchanged selfishness for self
denial.
God never works in a hurry.
This war has been a proof of that.
Heroic Belgium paid a debt to God.
Not many years ago, Leopold, the
half-crazy king of Belgium, treated
the poor natives of the Congo with
the most inhuman atrocity. Thou
sands were subjected to torture and
were mutilated in a manner that
shocked and Mortified the civilized
world. The people of that small
country have paid the price for the
sins of their monarch. They have
been purged.
French Redeem Themselves.

BEGINS HOLY WEEK!!
For Many Centuries Palm Sunday Has Been Day of Peculiar
 Significance.

- AIM SUNDAY is the name D usually given to the sixth and
 last Sunday in Lent and the
 beginning of holy week, after the custom of blessing branches of the palm tree or of other trees substi- tuted in those countries in which the palm cannot be procured, and of carry ing the blessed branches in process sion, in commemoration of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
 Palms and branches of the palm were used in this historic entry be- cause the palm was then regarded as an emblem of victory and the carrying and waving of it's branches was em- blematic of success and in honor of royalty.
 The date of the first observance of Palm Sunday is uncertain. In the Greek church it was apparently ob- served as early as the fourth century
 In the middle ages the palm, worn as a decoration, denoted that the per son so adorned had made the pill grimage to the Holy Land.
 In some countries people made use of figures of Christ seated on an ass, carved out of wood, which were car ried in religious processions and even brought into the church. In other countries 1t was the custom to strew flowers and green boughs in church yards.
 The palms used in the procession of the day are taken home by the faith full and used as a sacramental. They are preserved in prominent places in the houses, barns or even in the fields, and thrown into the fire during storms. From the blessed palms are procured the ashes for use on Ash Wednesday.
 Where palms cannot be secured. branches of olive, box elder, spruce or other trees are used. In Rome olive branches are distributed to the peo- pie, while the clergy carry palms ire quently dried and twisted into various shapes. In parts of Bavaria large swamp willows, with their catkins, and ornamented with flowers and rib bons, were used.
 Because every great feast at this time was in some way a remembrance of the resurrection of Christ and was in consequence called Pasrha, the Spanish term pascua florida had its origin. Thus it was that in 1512 the state of Florida, which was settled by the Spaniards, indirectly received it's name. ..
