MOSCOW, April 21.-A dispatch
from Chita, seat Of the Far Eastern
Republic. reports that a Japanese
expedition Of 10000 men has landed
at Alexandrovsk, in the Priamur ter
ritory. opposite the northern part of

been landed near Shangalin, said he
had no advices Of such q movement
and was certain that the report was

Japs Seized Island.
The Island Of Sakhalin was divided
by the treaty of Portsmouth in 1905,
by which the Russian government
ceded the lower half, or the territory
lying south OF the parallel of SO de-
grees north latitude. to Japan. Dur
ing the war the japanese seized the
northern half ostensibly to protect
the Czechoslovakian forces in the
course Of their retreat, as well as tho
Japanese subjects who were at that
time in Siberia
The strategic Importance Of the
island has caused it to figure largely
in the discussion Of far eastern ques-
tions and upon the recognition, Of tn e
far eastern republic by soviet Russia
in 1920 the Japanese let it be known
that they did not regard Sakhalin as
included within the territory Of the
new republic. The government OF the
far eastern republic was abolished

Recently the soviet government
granted an oil concession on the is-
land to the Sinclair oil interests. and
dispatches from Japan at the time
indicated that this had caused some

JEWISH REFUGEES FACE

ROwnO-Appalling reports have been
received here Of the reception given ut

refugees who have been expelled from
Poland under the Government order
which became effective April Is.
A large butch of refugees, men.

accordance with the expulsion order, to
Korez. on the Russian frontier between
Poland and Soviet RUSSIA. On attempt
ing to cross into Soviet Ukraine they
were shot at and driven back by Soviet
guards. The Polish frontier guards
would not permit them to recross into
Poland. The unfortunates are thus
placed between two hostile forces, UNI
able to enter either country.
The Soviet guards contend that the
refugees are no longer Russian citizens
because they left the country Illegally,

by the Soviet government that the ref

Rehabilitation and Restoration of Palestine to
Jews Will Answer Prayers Of People
For Two Ihousand Years
Ds.rer People Engaged in Raising $4,000 Share OF
100000 600 Fund to Restore Holy Land to Former
Stole Of Productivity and Preserue it
Against Desecyation

They already have built more
than 1000 homes. They have
planted more than 100000
trees. They have begun the con-
struction of roads, irrigation ca
nails, the improvement OF water
ways. And where few years
ago there was nothing but desert
sands, the visitor today sees
gardens blooming.
All this is but a beginning.
There is room in Palestine for
1000, 900 more inhabitants. 1t
is to be made land of oppor-
tunity for the luckless who. thru
oppression and racial or religious
discrimination, have been de-
priv of opportunity. In the Holy
Land-the land of their fathers
they are to be given a chance
to buy back the land which has
been restored and made fertile
and habitable by the generosity
of Jews and Gentiles the world
over.
The Jews who already in Pal
estine, engaged in the word of
reconstruction, have come prin-
cipally from Russia, Ukrania,
Poland and Roumania where war
robbed them of their homes and
where the socialistic govern
ments made existence intoler-
able.
Reconstruction of Palestine
will end misrule of this cradle of
religion by the Turks and Arabs
for all time and it will give west
Iern civilization a foothold in the
Orient.
Here the Jew will be given an
opportunity to demonstrate his
constructive ability and to eradi-
cate the unjust prejudice which
still exists against the race in
the benighted countries of the
east where the Jew has been the
leaven of the little artistic cul-
ture now existing there.
Rehabilitation of Palestine
will be additional proof of the
efficacy of prayer. For 1000
years, the Jews have prayed for
the return of Palestine to their
ownership. Their desire for the
land of their fathers has been
kept alive and stimulated by the
oppression and prejudices of un-
! Christian nations. And now the
prayers of centuries are in pro-
cess of being answered.

0y VIS4OR ~ANcAA<1 Os>s
l6OME thoughts are too big
- for ordinary people to
~ grasp. Their great signi-
figance must be felt before it can
be understood. AS in the case
of the artist, the idea must be
analysed by the heart and soul
before the gcal can be reached.
The Jews Of Denver are work
ing this week to bring to realiza-
tion an ideal that must make a
strong appeal to all the people of
this western civilization, whose
faces have ever been turned to-
ward Palestine-the land from
which the redemption of the
world was and is expected. The
campaign undertaken is big
enough to stagger the imagin-
alton.
Never before in history has q
drive been undertaken by peo-
pies of various nations to raise q
fund for the rehabilitation of an
entire country. Never before
have people all over the world
joined hands in a movement to
restore to the sons a land Wrest-
ed from the ownership of their
fathers.
The crusaders of the middle
ages tried in vain to reconquer
the Holy Land which had been
taken from the ownership of the
Jews long before. Their ven-
lures with the sword failed. But
the greatest war of all time has
made it possible to restore this
land to the descendants of the
original owners. ~
The victorious allied nations,
having ousted the Turks from
control of the Holy Land, have
given a mandate over it to Eng
land, and all have agreed to rec
ognize the rights of the Jews to
reacquire the land of their faith
ers thru purchase, to redeem II
and restore it to the highest pos.
sible state of development.
And while Denver Jews are
seeking to raise their $40,O ,OOC
share of the 100000, 900 which
is being raised all over the world
for the restoration of Palestine
the work of rehabilitation is al
ready under way. During the
last 2K years, some 10000
young men of Jewish birth have
gone into Palestine and have
taken up the work of reconstruc

Whatever reverence we may

those who came after US; never
to those who have gone before.
This week we win honor our
selves by honoring the nations

never suffered from riches yet
she did not suffer from starva-
ton either. After her husbands
death she could not determine
what means to employ to earn
a livelihood for herself and the
children. At last she determin-
ed to go to the Rebbi and seek
his advice.
The Rebbi's advice was to open
an inn and restaurant in the
town where she lived. He him
self loaned her the money to buy
the inn and refurnish it. Gittel
Goldie stood for all the sneers
and remarks that were passed
about her. The people of the
town thought she was very fool
ish to open an inn where so few
travellers came, but she had full
confidence in the Rebbi and knew
that she could well rely on his
advice.
1t so happened that near the
town where she lived a railroad
was being built. Although the
inn that Goldie kept was quite
a ways from the railroad yet the
Chassidim who transacted bust
ness in the town, would go to
this inn because the Rebbi adj
vised them to. This naturally
gave Goldie's inn a good reputa-
tion and made her famous.
Success came to her for the
reason that Gittel Goldie was a
good, pious woman, and the wife
of David Chassid.
