Reports Massacre Of
Jews in Ukraine.
Cable Message from Leo Motkin
Says 10000 Have Been
Slaughtered.
Children Among Victims.

New York.-Massacres in the
Ukraine, in which message sent
from Paris by Leo Motkin, Secre-
tary of the Committee of the Jew
ish Delegations at the Peace Con-
ference, to Louis Marshall, the
President of that committee, who is
now in this city. This cable mes
sage, which was given out yester-
day, is as follows:
Paris, July 80, 1919.
Marshall, New York:
Zuckerman arrived and confirms
former communications. He reports
new and terrible pogroms, which oc-
Cured during June at Kaminetz,
Podolsk, taigorod, Ourinine, etc.
The latest news is certified by three
rabbis and by other Jewish repre-
sentatives of Khotine. I know these
men, who are from the Ukraine.
They state that altogether 10000
have been killed. In Proskurof
alone 1904 inhabitants and numer-
Gus passing people have been killed
and 1000 wounded. Among the
killed were 1900 school children.
Ukrainian Judaism fears total ex-
termination. It is impossible to
check the exact figures. In all of
the pogroms undoubtedly dozens Of
thousands have been massacred.
(Signed) MOTK1N.
The Ukrainians reported guilty of
these massacres have been warning
with the Poles, who have been
largely exonerated by the reports
of Henry Morgenthau and others Of
pogroms attributed to them. The

dt lllSh OCCullCu WHICH L OleS were
passing through the city to fight
the Ukrainians. Mr.. Marshall made
the following statement:
Tells of Similar Reports.
Similar reports reached me while
| was in Paris which came indirectly
from the Ukraine and from men
of high standing and responsibility.
Every effort was made to procure
detailed information, but owing to
the state of anarchy which prevails
in the Ukraine and the difficulty of
communication it has been irnpos-
sible to secure such details as are
important or desirable. 1t is, how
ever, understood that the massacres
that have taken place have been
principally perpetrated by large or
ganized bands of robbers, one of
them under the leadership of Gen
eral Gregorieff, whose death was re-
ported a few weeks ago. Those
familiar with Ukranian conditions
regard the situation of the Jews who
live there as precarious so long as
the chaotic conditions which now
prevail shall continue.
"The only hope for relief is to be
found in the speedy establishment
of strong and liberal government
and the requirement that such gov
eminent shall as condition of being
recognized by the allied and asso-
ciated powers give adequate guar
antees for the protection of the
lives, liberty, and property of all Of
the inhabitants. All of the reports
which I have received coincide in
their estimates of the number of the
victims.
"Whi1e it is quite likely that the
estimate may be excessive, and I
ardently hope that it is, I neverthe-
less believe from all the information
that has come to me that the num-
bers will be found to run into the
tens of thousands. I have learned
that the French Government has
sent a commission into the Ukraine
to investigate conditions, and it is
probable that our committee will
likewise undertake an inquiry into
conditions in the hope of helping the
survivors and Of presenting to the
proper authorities an accurate &C
count of the facts so that it may be
made the basis of action to put an
end to these atrocities. The paral
lei between conditions in Armenia

COMPLETES TOUR OF PAL
ESTINE.


ESTINE.
The Zionist Organization of
America issued the following state
ment:
"Tustice Louis D. Brandeis of the
United States Supreme Court has
completed a tour of Palestine, and
is now en- route for Paris. The
party, which included Jacob De
Haas, Executive Secretary of the
Zionist Organization of America, of
which Justice Brandeis is Honorary
President, and Professor Alfred
Zimmern of the University of Wales
and former British Under Secre-
tary, visited Jafa, Jerusalem, Tel
Aviv, and other twenty Jewish
colonies in Judea, Galilee and
Samaria.
"Reports received by the Zionist
publicity department describe the
visit of the distinguished leader of
the movement as a triumphal tour.
In most of the cities and towns his
arrival was the signal for a public
holiday
Secretary De Haas reported that
Mr.. Brandeis found the colonies in
a hourishing condition and found
much to encourage conviction that
the League of Nations consenting,
the Jewish Commonwealth would
begin under favorable auspices, be-
cause of the accomplishments of the
present Jewish population. Equally
cordial was the reception accorded
the Brandeis party by the high Of
fcials of the British Army of Occu-
patton, including Generals Shea and
Edwards.
con the return trip the Brandeis
party was joined by DR.. Harry
Friedenwa1di of Baltimore, who
spent several months in Palestine
as head of the Zionist Administra-
tive Commission, and Robert Sold
of Washington, a member of that
body, who are now returning to the
States. Mr.. Brandeis, it is expected,
will return to the Zionist Conven-
ton, which will begin in Chicago
