UKRAINIAN JEWS IN TERROR
OF POGROMS AT HANDS OF
PETLURA'S SOLDIERS.

Paris, August 2s. (By |. ]. B. P.)
Much concern is apparent among Jew
ish political circles in Paris over the
situation OF the Jews in Ukrainia and
all through Southern Russia. Ever
since Pet'ura's army has invaded
these regions, the danger of pogroms
AGA inst the Jews has been imminent.
Especial anxiety is felt concerning
Kiev, where over hundred thousand
Jews are gathered at present.
II is estimated that over 10000
Jews have lost their lives during the
past year in the course Of pogroms in
most Of these pogroms, the soldiers Of
about twenty Ukrainian cities. For
Petlura's army are responsible; the
others are attributed to Gregorieff,
Maka, and other malefactors.
Various arguments are advanced
by the Ukrainian Bureau at Paris in
answer to the pogrom charges against
their government, They declare that

nard A. Rosenblatt.
Justice Brandeis had made a flying
trip to Palestine to investigate con-
ditions there. Just before he left Lon
don for New York a reception was
held in his honor there. During the
course Of the reception DR.. Weitzmann
spoke very highly of the great work
Justice Brandeis had done for Zion
ism in America. He said that Justice
Brandeis had accomplished miracle
he had developed everything that
was best in Jewish intellect and Jew
ish soul here by using, as his only
weapon the truth. Justice Brandeis
said that any Jew who did not help to
regain Palestine, who did not put his
shoulder to the wheel to bring about
a Nat onal Homeland for the Jews in
Palestine, was Stacker. He said
there was work for every jew and
every Jew must do his duty.
According to a cablegram received
by the Zionist Organization of Amer
lea from its London Bureau, the Brit
ish Government has appointed a Brit
ish Commission consisting Of Sir
Stuart Samuel, who is president of
the Jewish Board Of Deputies, AMI
Capt. Phillip Wright, to investigate
reports in Poland. They are leaving

er information for the issuing of a
Blue Book on the Polish Pogroms.

pogroms have not occurred in towns
where the government is in the hands
Of the Ukrainians, that in Kamenetz-
Podolsk strict orders were given to
check the pogrom and that where out
breaks have occurred, they were d.
ected against Jews only on account Of
their Bolshevism.

tied the Federation of American Zion
lists and he represented Fort Worth
at meeting of the National Deser-
ton Bureau. He also conversed with
most Of the prominent and nationally
known Zionists.
Mr.. Mehl also visited the different
charitable institutions and from what
Mr.. Mehl could observe he has come to
the conclusion that the local insttu-
tons without any exceptions are
managed unusually well.
