Il cannot allow to pass unchailenged
the Jewish demonstration against the
new republic Of Poland, as made in New

Of the Jewish people, we have RETAINED

Polish and Jewish people in this coun-

The gentlemen of distinction who uttered
the advertisement named must appreci-

OBTAINS FIVE MORE
OPTIONS ON SALOONS
Salvation Army to Reopen
Them Before June 30.

Five more options on saloon proper
ties have been obtained by the Salvation
Army, Brigadier Charles Welte, chief
scout for the moribund beer palaces. an
nounced yesterday. He said that by
July the army will have taken over
twenty-five cafes and will be operating
In them light lunches and clubs.
The saloons lined up by Scout welte
are said to be at important street inter-
sections, the intention being to drive
home the first wedge in the new dry
order of things in the sections that were
formerly the wettest.
Commander Booth said that the army
wants to get the saloons before the
closing order goes into effect. The hab-
itue is to become accustomed to the
change before It hits him.
I'VE will have lost the very thing we
want to accomplish II We do not &C
quire the options at once" she said
I'VE want to save the man, not the
property"
The organization is now planning to
take over saloons in $50 cities as close
to the closing date as possible. 1t is
announced. however. that the Salvation
Army does not intend to plunge into the
project too heavily and that there will
be no big initial investment. The con-
verted saloons are to be made self-sup-
porting.
