UKRAINE JEWS WILL SEEK
AUDIENCE AT PEACE
CONFERENCE.

Kiev.-The Jewish Provisional
Council of Ukraina will petition the
Peace Congress to receive Jewish
representatives. They have already
chosen their spokesman in the event
that this request be granted. These
spokesman will present to the Peace
Congress the following formula for
the solution of the Jewish problem:
Recognition Of the Jews as ma
ton, admission Of the Jewish people
to the League of Nations; legal
guarantees for the reconstruction of
Palestine as a Jewish political CEN
ter; securing of civil and national
rights in all countries where there
is possible by constitutional law;
national, personal autonomy in all
countries where there are large
Jewish populations and where the
Jews demand these rights.

Palestine in order to secure freedom
from persecution and oppression. I
doubt whether any nation composed
almost exclusively of inhabitants of
the Jewish faith of these two nations
could ever succeed. | doubt wheth-
er they could maintain country or
an organized government such as
one would expect from a modern
state, one that would comport with
high, modern ideals. Besides, the
trend of all countries to separate
church and state has proved that it
is wise for governments to maintain
such a separation-Whereas the pro-
posal of the Zionists is in the other
direction, to consolidate church and
state in the new homeland of the
Jews"

| have discussed this matter with
many Christians and have. yet to
meet the first one who does not in
stinctively and unreservedly feel
that the Jews are a distinct nation
atty, although they do not all agree
that the world would be better off
for the Jews having homeland.
When you say that "the Jew in
America does not feel himself to be a
tolerated human being but rather,
conscious of his human dignity, he
walks with head erect and knows
himself to be infinitely the superior
of those who would shut him out of
their narrow circle" you demon
strate exactly what I mean. The
average person is not conscious of
his dignity or even of the erect con-
dition of his head, any more than he
is conscious of breathing air. This
is consciousness of federation. 1t is
about time that we realized that the
issue squarely before us is Zionism
or assimilation. They are both diff
cult processes. The question is,
which is better for the Jews and the
world?

THE TRUE REV. SIMONS.

From the very moment we saw
Rev. Simons, (the Methodist Mis-
sionary in Russia), testimony before
the senate committee in print, we
concluded that he was just an ordi-
nary anti-Semite or Jew-hater, of the
kind that has always shown the ut
most malignity in it's animosity
against the Jews, since it springs
from its disappointment and cha
grin in not being able to make con-
.verts among the Jews.
= We now find that our conclusion
was justified. This Rev. Simons is
now lecturing in Christian Churches
to large audiences and is reported
by correspondent as follows: CDR.
S1mOns acts out. "a conversation
such as would occur between himself
and a Bolshevist, should follower
of Bolshevism approach him to con-
vert him. In acting out the role of
the Bolshevist, DR.. Simons assumed
the strong accent of the Russian Jew.
One of his speeches of the Bolshevik
was 81 am Won de clan of T-r-rotsky,
yes, my name il B-r-r-raunstein."
And he gave the Yiddish accent and
rolled the Yiddish "r'.
The correspondent then quotes
him as follows:
=. 81 love the Russian. The Russian
is not a Bolsheviki. The Bolsheviki
are composed entirely Of those who
are not Russians; a people who have
no land and know allegiance to no
country. They are not OF Russian
stock; they have drifted into Russia
in centuries gone BY" Some day the
Russian, the real 'Muzhik' is going
to arise and is going to say to this
.Bolsheviki bunch: You are not of
us. You are enemies of the cross
you are not Christian, you are and
always have been anti-Christian.
Now get out. Death to every Boil
sheviki, every enemy Of the cross,

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.
The following communication by
Mr.. Fred M. Butzel, one of Detroit's,
(Mich.) leading Jewish citizens, to
the Detroit Jewish Chronicle, an an
ti-Zionist paper, deserves larger cir
culation that it has so far received:
March 10, 1919.
Editor Jewish Chronicle,
Detroit, Michigan.
Dear Sir
Your editorial about tolerance
seems to me continuance of a bad
habit of ''bunking" yourself.
The fact that not single college
fraternity at Ann Arbor wishes a
single Jew; that not single big club
in Detroit wishes single Jew; that
in the entire world of industry a Jew
must be keener or ADLER or more hon
est in order to succeed, is generally
admitted. We have every theoretical
legal protection that we may desire
and the fact of growing anti-semi-
tism is obvious. | cheerfully admit
that the persecution of the Jews has
tended in many respects to improve
their quality, and it is quite fashion
able to blame anti-semitism today on
Zionism, but | do claim that the
Jews have peculiar position among
all the people and are living an alb
normal life, and to deny that they
are tolerated is only another effect
of the astigmatism characteristic of
SO many Jews who like to be roman
tic and unrealistic about conditions.
1t is quite possible that the Zionist
program may not improve matters
in spite of the optimism of us Zion
lists, and it is certain that many years
must elapse before competent
judgment can be safely formed as to
the restored Palestine.
1t is fact, however, that of the
white races the Jews alone are dis
eliminated against in this country in
social and economic way and in
other countries in legal and politi-
cal way, and it is true that the Jews,
of all these racial stocks, have no
homeland. 1t is also unfortunately
true that many of the Jews try to
deny their identity as people and
do not care to assist by their money

SAGE TEA TURNS

IT'S GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE TO

LCSTRE To HAIR.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When IL
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hum
dred fold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is calied Wyeth's
Sage and sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everyone uses "Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound nows because IL
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied,
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. Id
