chosen by the garrison>i located in

that the soldiers would maintain the
necessary revolutionary discipline
Later on. however, the garrison re-,
fused to obey Felner's command TO
advance. Felner made srecc', to
the soldiers in which he pleaded with
them that they obey the order hecnusr
nc had guaranteed for their 'lisci-
rline. When the soldiers still wouM
not obey, Felner committed snicide bc-
fore the eyes of the assembled sci
diers.
The garrison then realized what y
martyr Felncr had been. and n great
military funeral was arranged for
him. The Hungarian Wsr Minister
and the chairman of the Soldiers

livered eulogies. All work in the

the California statesman is leading
a delegation from America which is
seeking to prevent the realization Of

trusteeship of Great Britain, acting
for the League of Nations.
Mr.. Kraus says in his telegram that
Congressman Kahn's action in present
ing nm anti-ZiOnist petition to Presi-
dent Wilson took him by surprise for
the reason that he was authorized
only to endeavor to secure full rights
for Jews in countries where that is
denied them. His telegram is as fol-
lows:
Il gave Congressman Kahn a ere
Dental to visit B'nai Birth lodges
and ascertain how many of our own
members, IL any, are in distress. and
re auested him. II he should have the
chance. to cO-Operatc with the others
who are trying TO secure full rights
for our people where such rights are
denied them. Afterwards. to my as

has no authority to appear for us

question and am confident that on
that Question he will not pretend to
act for us. Should anyone attempt

Dear Sirs:
The European Commission. elected
by the American Jewish Congress at
its historic sessions in Philadelphia
is now in Paris and is bending its ef-
forts to secure for the Jews of the
world the rights which have been
heretofore denied them. They are in
Paris as the representatives of Amerl-
can Jewry and the whole of American
Jewry is behind them in their work.
The most recent dispatches from
Paris indicate that the Jewish dele
cations from all parts of the world
have been. under the guidance of the
general committee of delegations A
number of subcommittee have been
appointed and much progress has been
made.
Now the Peace Treaty is in its final
stages of completion and the fate Of
the Jews of the world is being defin-
itely decided This becomes, there
fore. one of the most critical periods
in our history and it is the solemn
duty of all participants in the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress to support their
elected representatives at this most
crucial stage.
Money is needed. Our funds are
exhausted. Your district has 80 far
failed to contribute its quota of 800
towards the fund of $4,000 which the
congress must have. without your
contribution the work cannot go OH
and all Of the demands formulated by
the American Jewish Congress and
the congresses held In other parts of
the world shall have been for naught.
1t liz unthinkable that Arserican Jewry,
which has. created the Congress. will
low withhold Its support just when
our goal Is In sight. The gravity OF
the situation Is very serious and will
he relieved only by your immediate
contribution.
Awaiting your very early response.
we are. very truly yours,
