He briefly outlined some of the inme-
diatc pressing problems or the Board.
A great problem is the removal OF
France to American soil. In reply Ia
II QUESTIONABLE sent TO the nearest rela-
ttvcs in regard to this matter, be-
tween 60 and 10 percent favored the
transfer of the bodies 10 this country,
10 percent failed TO reply. and the
rest wished the dead to remain on the
soil where they died, fighting for an
ideal. The Graves Registration Di-

the next of kin, with the information
and instructions as to when and where
the bodies are to he brought here.
'"The Jewish Welfare Board has just
completed the examination of some
100000 records in the Red Cross and
over 10000 records of the Graves Reg
istration Department in order TO eN-
anime records. establish religious af-
filiation. and TO locate the next OF

they can. at their own risK and under
such arrangements as they may be
able to make with the local authors
ties of the Ukraine without III amy
way involving the United States. The
latter Government has no objection to
the distribution of relief in Bolshevist
Ukraine thru any other agency than
our own commission. hut such an ar
rangement would mean that our COM
missioners should not take with them
any supplies that might. if seized. lie
diverted to military uses.'.

POLISH PARLIAMENT CANNOT
LOCATE POLISH CITY.

Warsaw-That a government should
declare that 1t cannot locate one of the
cities in its realm has occurred for the
first time in the history of mankind,
in Poland.
This novel explanation was made by
the pianola government in connection
with the case of the Jewish teacher,
Millberg. in the city of Lubitz on the
German border. Polish Gendarlnes ac-
cused this Jew of giving signals to
the Germans. because his young pupils
were caught playing with the national
flag. He was severely beaten and
held for few days. shortly after
ward the Minister of War was inter-
polated about his case by the Jewish
club in the Polish Parliament. There
upon the worthy official replied that
he does not know where this city of
Lubitz may possibly be located.
Recently. the club presented to the
Minister of War documents to prove
that the city of Lubitz does exist ami
that one of its Jewish citizens by the
name of Millbers WIS arrested and
beaten without cause.

vcned in London. to permit women to
vote for delegates to the Constituent
Assembly, which will he called soon to

ish women. for they are also given the
right to offer themselves as candidates
to the Assembly.
The suffrage question has stirred
Palestine for several years and : de-
termined effort has been going on for

The J. c. R. S. Loses Big
Building by Fire
RECONSTRUCTION WORK BEGUN
IMMEDIATELY BY HOSPITAL
BOARD.

The Jewish Consumptivcs Relief So
ciety suffered the loss of one of its
largest buildings by fire Monday after
noon. 4 spark from the smoke stack
ignited the roof of the Pavilion. built
10y the New York Ladies' Auxiliary in
1911. and in n few moments the whole
roof was ablaze. famed by the gale
blowing at the time. The entire struc
turc was guttcd. All of the sixty-four
bcdridden patients occupying the buihl.
ing were removed to safety with no
i'll effects.
The SanatOrium Is n mile and n half
from the city and was poorly equipped
to fight fire. So much the greater is
the wonder that under such adverse
conditions no greater loss was su'
tained. The Denver fire depart
rnent did ycomen service to prevent the
fire from spreading to the other build
ings. The damage is estimated is over
$4,000, which was partially covered
by insurance.
The building was large. twO-story
brick and wood structure. containing
seven single rooms and two large wards
on each floor. All of the sick occup
ants were men. They are being tenn
porarily housed in the Solarium and
Synagog. and are well cared for.
Offers of assistance were immediate
ly made by the National Jewish hos
pital for Consumptivcs, Craig Colony
and the Aid Association for Ex-
patients. but their assistance was no'
needed and was gratefully declined.
The United States General Hospital,
No. 81 sent 10 beds and bedding to
the ]. C. Il. S. Monday evening for the
use of the patients.
The Board of the hospital bcgnn
work to remedy the loss caused by thu
catastrophe. Immediately after 1t oc
Cured They have laid plans TO he
gin nationwide Reconstruction Drive
to replace the building destroyed by
fire. Every member of the Sanator.ur
thruout the Unitcu States will receive
an appeal to assist in fhis Reconstruc-
tion Drive. Substantial pledges have
already been made in Denver. where
the Drive will begin Immediately. Mr..
Louis Stern is chairman of the Drive
and Max b. Newsletter is treasurer,
These names. with the others of the
committee. are guarantees of the Of
ficiency and thOrOness with which
this work will he done.
The tremendous Importance of re
placing the destroyed building and the
necessity of quickly finding adequate
and proper housing for the many sic';

internal affairs-these affairs were
our very own. 1t is true that we
have sometimes made efforts to inter-
est our Government in the tragic con-
ditiOns of the Jews in other lands. and
that sometimes we succeeded in oh
tanning some aid for them and Mt
other times-merc diplomatic promises.
All this, however, was done in the
form of sentimental appeal in the
name of humanity and Justice. Often
we were told that nothing could b.
done since we could not Interfere in
the affairs of foreign countries.
At present the situation is changed.
Our International relations are now
established with all the peoples of the
world. some of whom owe to America
their very existence. and others their
gains and aggrandizements. As mem
bcrs of the League of Nations each ma
ton has certain obligations, the per
formance of which the League has Il
right to insist upon. In the separate
treaties which We're made with Ru
mania. Poland. Czecho-Slovakia. etc.
there have been inserted special clauses
securing to Jews political and civil
equality. and also certain minority
rights. The powers have approved the
Balfour Decla ton with reference to
Palestine and England will do doubt
obtain the mandate over it. All these
Jewish problems concern lis very much
and we are interested in them very
deeply. No country will be able to
do for the Jews more than America.
Tor us Jews it is of the utmost i'm
portance that our next President be
man who. in addition to his Ameri
canism. fully understands our new i'll
ternational problems and demand that
the terms of the various treaties he
faithfully carried out. The next -four
years will be very serious ones for
the Jews. Many difficult problems
will face them. all demanding solution.
A president, friendly to the honest de-
1nands and aspirations of the Jews
will be able to do for them more
than any other person on earth.
In weighing carefully the prcsi-
DENTAL claims Of the various ckn-
didates il would be well for the Jews
to seriously consider the information
al as well as national program of each
nominee.
