Cohen of Philadelphia, in. the course
of his remarks said:
I'VE have no Jewish nation at the

of belief but of life. The Greek
Orthodox Church regards its doctrines
as orthodox fright thinking, because
of its beliefs. But one is n jew only

created Creator of the Universe

on words. Orthodox, Reform, Conser-

daism proper does not demand rigid
belief in dogma it permits to the
individual freedom of worship as he
pleasas. But there must be reverence
for the law which has come down to
us from ancient times.

MUNICATION FROM STATE DE.
PARTMENT,

MI. 'ht s''s'''
man of the Executive committee OF
the Provisional American Jewish Con-
.gress, received yesterday commun''
cation from the State Department,
Washington, ID. c.. giving the result
of the investigation which the Ameri-
can Commissioner in Vienna has made
into the matter in accordance with the
request addressed to the department
by this organization.
This statement came in response to
the representations made to the de-
partment of State by Mr.. Rothenbers
and DR.. Stephen S. Wise on Decem-
bcr 2nd on the basis of II cable that
was received from DR.. Stricker and
which was sent in behalf of the Zion
list Organization. the Jewish National
Council, the Wiener Morgenzeitung
etc
The letter received from the Depart.
ment of State is as follows:
January 22nd, 1921
Mr. Morris Rothenberg,
Chairman Executive Committee,
American Jewish Congress, New
York City.
Sir:
Referring to your tclegraphic in
quiry of December ., 1920, addressed
to the Secretary of State, and the
reply of the State Department dated
December 9th. 1920, both relative to
the reported intention to eXpcl
Galician Jewish refugees from Viennt.
the following information just received
from the American Commissioner in
Vienna is forwarded for your infor-
nation.
There would seem to be no intcn.
ton on the part of the Vienna authori-
Jewish refugees. Certain Jewish So
cieties in Vienna have, on the other
hand. themselves voluntarily. Offered
to find suitable dwelling places In
Poland for about four thousand Gal
ician families now residing in Vienna.
This operation, it is anticipated, will
not take place suddenly. but will eX-
tend over period of three or four
months.
1t is further understood that the
Polish Minister in Vienna is cooper
;.ting with Jewish societies and Aus
lrian authorities and has promised to
facilitate the granting Of visas for
Poland in order to enable these peo-
pie to proceed to their homes. not
withstanding the fact that Poland has
hitherto been unwilling to aid in the
repatriation of her nationals.

Your obedient servant, for the
Acting Secretary of State;

The telegram addressed to the State
Department on December 2nd was as

We are greatly disturbed by most
urgent dispatches from Vienna be-
seeching us to intervene with our gov
crnment to avert the tragedy of OK
pulsion of tens of thousands of Cali
clan Jewish refugees from Vienna. We
believe that an appeal from us thru
the American mission would avail to
prevent inflicting this added calamity
upon terribly stricken helpless popu-
lation who have fled to Vienna as on.

SENSATION OVER ROTHSCHILD-

AGAINST RADICAL PHRASES
STRIKES AND WHAT STRIKES
COST.
CJewish News Service.)

Major James Rothschild has al
,pu<!y left New York and went on his
way to Europe. Ills short stay in the
country was u quiet, breath-taklns'
yet clamorless sensation. The whole
time he was on everybody's lips /;
wherever two or more Jews came to-
gethcr, they would discuss Rothschild,
irrespective as TO whether these Jews
came to discuss public affairs or busi
ness or even to play pinochle-Roths-
child or Mrs. Rothschild. his wife.
would be mentioned somehow. People
would talk about them, show their H.
tcrest in them. People were interested
to hear about them.
Nevertheless it was Il quiet sensa
tion. There was not much said about
Rothschild in the newspapers. He did
not appear at large gatherings, or
promenade thru the Jewish streets of
the city. Only on the day preceding
his departure did James Rothschild
deliver II lecture in Hebrew.
Imagine, Rothschild, Hebrew and
the East Side. The rest goes withou:
saying. The hall was crowded to ca
pacity, the streets surrounding it were
full of people, there were ovations
showing highest enthusiasm. 1t was
hard work for the police to pave
road for Rothschilds automobile.
Rothschild spoke about the import.
ance of Hebrew. Without a national
language, he declared, there could be
no revival of people. Hebrew is as
important for Jewish future as Pal
cstine.
Thus spoke ROthschild on the East
Side before he left the United States.
But during his stay here, he spoke
very little about nationalism or other
Jewish ideals. He acted like n finan-
cicr, the scion of the great banker
family from which he is descended.
He conferred with Jewish financia!
leaders of America. endeavOring to in.
tcrest them in business undertakings
to he started in Palestine.
To be sure, the Jewish question
was incidentally broached in discus
sions of financial possibilities in Pal
estine. but this was not the principal
topic of discussion. And because of
this he succeeded so splendidly and he
organized an Economic Council'
which will invest large sums in Pa
cstinian undertakings and thus create
possibilities for work among the many
thousands of Jewish laborers.
Into that Economic Council there
came as members Oscar Straus, Felix
Warburg. Judge Irving Lehman and
Louis Marshall. All are men of great
influence who can accomplish great
deal. and they must accomplish what
they have undertaken to do. having
pledged their word to James Roths-
child.

(Fatty) Arbuckle will go on trial on some charge in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe within the next three weeks. Dist. Attorney Matthew Brady announced today.
 "I am going ahead with the prose- cution of this case with all the speed possible said Brady. "I expect to be ready for trial in about three weeks and I believe the defense will be too"
 The district attorney declared he had several reasons for making no decision at a conference with his depu- ties and police officials as to whether to try the film star on a charge of murder or manslaughter. We think we have sufficient evidence to convict Arbuckle of murder, but that is up to the committing magistrate"
