you of few figures. All the Arabic
speaking populations of Asia and
Africa total less than 40,000,000, but
they occupy tesritory almost as
big as the whole of Europe, stretch
ing from Morocco to the Persian
Gulf. Palestine is only 1-170th part
of this immense territory. Its trans
formation into Jewish nation home
will leave the Arab race as rich in
national territory as it is today
indeed, one of the richest races of the
world, as far as land is concerned.
They will be able to develop their

Mesopotamia, the Hedjaz, the Yemine

TO APPEAL JERUSALEM
VERDICT

London q. G.. B.)-Preparations
are being made by noted lawyers to
lodge an appeal against the sentences
passed upon the three Jews accused
Of bomb throwing during the Jerusa-
lem riots on November End last, it is
learned today.
The principal contention against
the sentences will be that there was
a disagreement between the two
judges constituting the court, Judge
Baker having dissented from the
opinion of Judge Copeland, that a
bomb was actually thrown by the &C.
cused. This is shown by Judge Cope
lands statement that it was "solely
owing to the fact that both members
Of this court are not satisfied that
the accused threw bombs" that they
escaped the death penalty.

Thousands Turkestan Jews Starving
at Batoum and Tiflis

Constantinople q. T. A.)-An in
cessant stream of refugees from the
Ukraine and Crimea has been pour
ing in at Batoum and Ti1is, every
steamer arriving from Odessa bring
ing an additional contingent Of refu-
gees, mostly aged, women and chill
dren.
At Tifis alone, a few thousands
Jews have arrived from Turkestan
and are said to be starving. The con-
dition of most of the refugees is des-
perate. Lack of housing accomno-
dations and food may bring on the
death Of thousands unless help comes
quickly, reports say.
No organization is coping with the
situation. The Jewish communities
from the Ukraine and Crimea have
sent delegates to Constantinople and
Batoum, but they are unable to OBJ
tain any relief as no Jewish relief
organizations are represented there.

Persian Morranos Hope to Return to
Judaism
Teheran, Persia q. T. A.)-10,OOO
Jews who, because of anti-Jewish
massacres 80 years ago, were COM
PEELED to follow the Islamic faith, are
anxiously awaiting the arrival Of
Rabbi Kornfeld of Columbus, Ohio,
American envoy to Persia.
The protection which they hope the
American Minister will accord, will
enable these Jews, living very much
as their forefathers lived in Spain,
practicing their Jewish faith in secret,
to publicly re-embrace the Jewish
faith.
Numerous attempts made by them
within the last 80 years to re-enter
the Jewish faith were frustrated by
threats of massacres made by the
neighboring wandering tribes.
Despairing Of their chances at
home, they recently despatched a rep
resentative to London to take up with
the headquarters of the Zionist Or
ganization there, the question of their
protection as Jews, at home, or the
granting of facilities for their emil
grafton to the Holy Land.

Charles Town Invaded Again.

There was considerable excitement
in Charles Town last Friday, when the
town was invaded by a force OF fifty
armed United States soldiers and thir-
ty army trucks, sent there to take pos
session of the property Of the United
States Harness Company. Officers
and process servers with legal papers
we're also much in evidence.
Camping on the Charles Town horse
show grounds, the soldiers moved to
the A. d. Goetz harness factory, where
is stored a vast supply of harness
bought from the government by the
United States Harness Company, but
which the government claims was ac-
qured illegally. Officials of the COM
pany Immediately got in touch with
Washington. and legal advice was
phoned back TO close the factory, lock
all the doors and have the employees
stand on the outside. In the mean
time, the soldiers had loaded one truck
After the doors were locked, no furth-
er move was made and no effort was
made to enter the building and take
more harness.
Attorney Forrest w. Brown was call
ed over the telephone by Attorney
Hogan, of Washington, counsel for the
United States Harness Company, and
asked to Immediately get out an in
junction restraining the officers and
Department of Justice officials from
entering the premises or removing the
property or otherwise interfering with
its affairs. Colonel Brown hurried to
Martinsburg and from Judge J. M
Woods obtained the injunction. He
Immediately returned to Charles Town
and served the injunction. The army
which had been standing guard around
the harness factory then retreated.
The process servers came from Bal
timore on orders from the Department
of Justice under the claim that the
government had cancelled the contract
existing with the harness company.
They remained in Charles Town until
Saturday evening, when they departed
The case is now thrown into court,
where it will be fought out Col
George Goetz is president and Major
]. G. Byron vice-president of the
harness company. There has been
much airing of the scandal attached
to this case. The government alleges
that the harness company acquired
vast quantities of harness by crooked
work, and efforts will be made to re-
cover il and punish those responsible
for the frauds if any,

This vestry was elected more than a

The only way to do that is to "get to-
