DETAILS OF RECENT DISTURB
ANCES IN PALESTINE.


London-Palestinian papers arrived
here today bring the first written re-
ports concerning the riots which be-
gan on May list. Many of the papers
have whole columns deleted by the
censor who seems to have been given
unlimited authority. The Mizrachi or
gan "Ha-TOr' contains two pages
which are completely empty.
1t appears that the affray at the
Jewish colony of Chedera was com
paratively serious affair. According
to one version, 40 Arabs We're killed
there. and according to another GO. Al.
most every house in the colony was
plundered.
Details of the death of 7. II. Bren-
ner. noted Hebrew author, are most
narrowing. He was beaten and
bound. and carried from his room at
midnight into nearby field where a
plow was run over him. severing his
head from his body. The mutilated
corpse was then returned to the room
and placed in the bed.

Jewish scientists made possible the
discovery of America by Columbus,
and jew was the first known Eli-
ropean to set foot on American soil.

Episcopal Church.
"The Jews convinced VascO De
Cana of the possibility of sailing
around the Cape of Good Hope. and
thus helped to revolutionize com
;nerce," DIR. Morgan said. Jewish
scientists predicted the success OF the
first voyage of Columbus. 1t was
mainly thru the knowledge. labor and
generosity of a few Spanish Jews that
America was discovered
Among the men who accompanied
Columbus were six Jews, including
an interpreter, n doctor and sur
gcon. Luis De Torres. the interprc'
ter, was the first European to tread
American soil. The whole expedition
was made possible by the generosity
of two court Jews. Luis De Santansel
and Gabriel Sanchez, who advanced n
sum equal to 100000. SO it was not
the jewels of Isabella, hut the Jews
of Spain who opened up the new

Government finances. the survey de-

other reparation obligations before April
80, 1922.
According to present Indications" the
survey continues, "the German budget
for the fiscal year ending March 81,
1922, will show a deficit of 110. 0.000, ,O00,-

include the indemnity obligations of

Leaving these obligations out of
consideration. the deficits would amount
to only ten billion for the present year
and $4,000, 100000 for 1922 and 1923.
To meet the huge deficits in prospect and
in the hope of avoiding excessive loans,
Germany is planning an extensive re-
