New York, April 22.---Medica1 aid, food and colthing will be rushed to the starving lewis people of the Uk- raine and Russis> rom American Jew ish- relief funds, following the State Department announcemnt that it had granted permission for the Uazra- nian Commission of the Joint Dis tribution Committee to enter Russia at its own risk
 Following application by Louis
 Marshall, chairman of the American Jewish Relief Committee, to the State Department, for permission to send
 the Commission into Russia to fight
 famine and typhus which is killing off thousands of men, women and chill dren, Frank l. Polk, Under-SecretaGy
 of State, gave the Governments per
 mission with these conditions: L The Commissions purpose is sole
 ly to extend relief to the suff ering

 use.

 will be in no position to extend pro- lection to the Commission and it must

 the distribution of relief to innocent sufferers in Russia but every precau- tion must be taken against the misuse of supplies furnished.
 The Joint Distribution Committee.
 which is the relief disbursing agency for the American Jewish Rehef Com
 nittee and its affied organizations ae- cepted these conditions and arrange ments are now under way in Poland to send the U4ranian commission into
 Ukraine and Russia
 There are over 3,Soo,oo0 Jews in the Ukrane alone whose condition, owing to the imposSibIity of reaching
 the country, is the worst in Europe, according to reports received by the American Relief Committee. Typhus, cholera and starvation are sweeping away thousands of the population, while the lack of clothing reaped a terrible death toll during the winter, reports stated.
 The Russian government has an- nounced that it will afford the Com 1 mission full protection while admin ] istering relief in it's territories, ac- I cording to newspaper dispatches from Copenhagen.
 When the Commission enters the Ukrane and Russia, it will have been l the first American relief agency to function there.

PERU EXPORTS
 FALLING OFF

On account of the present abnormal CTS are neglecting valuable markets for their goods in Peru In 1917. says the National Foreign Trade Council, imports from the United States amounted to 65 per cent. of the whole, but in 1918 they feuzoH II per cent. British manufacturers are taking ad- vantage of this opportunity to in crease their trade and to capture the lead in certain lines that were for merly imported nearly exclusively from the United States.
 Great Britain continues to hold the lead in the imports of cotton and woolen goods, but the United States is making serious efforts to capture a large share of this trade. Japan holds first place in the imports of silk. but here too, the United States. with a little special effort, will be able to gain a large share of this trade from her rival.
 At the present time we supply nearly all Peru's requirements in fur niture, with the exception of certain articles of light bamboo imported from China and Japan. Ninety per cent of the footwear used in that country is imported from the United States, and we are far in the lead in the importation of iron and steel.
 The principal articles required In Peruvian market are cotton. wooIen and silk, linen goods, leather goods, furniture, machinery, woods. paper and musical instruments.

 The detective further declared that the raid conducted Saturday night has the approval of many of the most prominent citizens of the town, and that these prominent persons have gone so far as to shake him, tho de- tective, by the hand, and tell him it was good work.
 Asked as to where the Burns men secured their auth ority to make the arrests, the detective waxed sarcastic rer1a rking that the power was secured from the Lord.
 Another Burns man, in speaking of the case of Marian Wilson. the girl who has been held without bail since her arrest Saturday night, admitted that she has supplied no evidence as yet which connects the police with the alleged vice trust of Bridgeport, or duplicates the police in any way with her own activities. Earlier in the week it was reported that the Burns detectives were holding this woman as the star witness whose con- fesSion would result in the naming of several policemen.
 After court this morning, Prose cutting Attorney Delaney absolutely refuted the statement of the Burns men that a vice trust exists in Bridge port Said the prosecutor:
 'I have had absolutely no evidence presented to me as yet, which will show that there is 9 vice ring or trust in this city,
 The prosecutors statement seems to have been borne out in the City Court so far, inas1nuch as no evidence of this character has been submitted. Many cases have been nolled, others have been continued and still more have forfeited bonds, but not yet has any person taken the witness stand to present evidence in the usual way.
 Another conference between May Or Wilson, Prosecuting Attorney De- Laney, Acting Superintendent Suck ley and Burns chiefs was held this m morning in the superintendent of flee. No information concerning this session was given out, but it is un- derstood that the case of Madison avenue man who was recently arrest ed on suspicion was discussed It is said that an investigation of the af- fair resulted in the blow up of the entire case.
 Mayor Wilson was in the City court again this morning, but took no ac- ton in any of the proceedings. The court took frequent recesses, and during these breathing spells confer. enceS were held in the office of the superintendent
 It is understood that the New York men have succeeded in presenting evidence in some cages to the prose- cutting attorney, and that some defi- nite action in the cases of the prin- cipals may be taken. Marian Will son, who was taken from a. house at the corner of Lafayette street and South avenue Saturday night, will be one of those arraigned tomorrow. It was>rumored today that gunnen are out to get not only Mayor Will son and Chief Allen c. Meyers, of the Burns force, but also all officials who are connectedN with the prosecution of the vice men in Bridgeport. The story gained consid erable headwa9 his morning. but did not serve ts !

WANT WOMEN TO
 HEAR CONFESSION

London, April g - Whether the church should provide women con fessors is a question with which the Lambeth Conference of the clergy of Great Britain to be held in July is threatened
 At a meeting of the union for equal citizenship, Miss Edith Picton-Turber will said that letters had been receiv- ed from girls in various parts of the country pleading for women confess ors in High Anglican churches.
 The Rev. Henry Ross. Victar of St. Albans, a large parish in HoIborn, London, does not hold out much hope for the suggestion, for in a recent interview he said women would not confess to women, who are pitiless to their on sex.
 ''I have had considerable experience Of public life outside the church." he said, "and while we welcome women's s help, I have had evidence of this trait in their character.
 '''The church is quite clear on this subject" he added. flor we come at once up against the question of the priesthood. No woman can be ad- mitted to the priesthood. Therefore, we can have neither women preach CTS not women confessors. If there were no other, there is the psycholog- not trust another woman to keep a secret, even if told in the con fessional." tss is<asIE
