WRANGEL URGED TO SUPPRESS
ANTI-SEMITISM.

Paris: (By |. ]. P. b. The news
paper "Evreiska Tribuna" Hebrew
Tribune), published here in Russian,
demands in leading article a clear
statement from Wrangel to the effect
that he will suppress anti-Semitism
as now propagated by the Crimean
press. The paper calls attention to the
fact that while Wrangel is eager to
enunciate a broad liberal policy, he
does not regard it as his duty to prac-
tice what he breaches and carry out
such a policy in the sections Of Russia
under his control. 1t is particularly
his duty to give the lie to accusations
launched against the Jews Of Crimea
that they have violated the holy rel
les contained in the monatsry of Kar-
sum.

NO JEWISH WOMEN PERMITTED

Warsaw: (By l. J. P. b. For a
long time the Polish government re-
fused to accept into the army Jewish
volunteers. The consistent efforts of
the assimilationist Jewish politicians
in the Diet, Messrs. Lowentein, Dick
stein and Lieberman, finally caused
the government to reverse its atti-
tude and Jewish volunteers are now
accepted into the army.
AS it is well known, the army con-
tains both male and female soldiers.
While the Polish government would
admit Jewish men into the ranks Of
its soldiers, no Jewish woman has
been permitted to join the army.

Berlin: (By |. ]. P. b. The Social

that at the German frontier, the gov
eminent receives all the Polish de-
serters and aids them in securing po-
sitions. The Jewish deserters, how
ever, are turned over to the Polish
government, and are punished by
death, as the Polish law provides.
The "Vorwarts' demands that this
provision be done away with, and that
the officers responsible for handing
the deserters over to the Polish gov
eminent, be severely punished.
