Mr. Thomas, who is here to attend the international-conference of the Labor Office, received a delegation of the Emigdirekt headed by Oscar Cohn, former member of the Prussian government. The question of the ref u-gess and particularly the needs of Jewish emigrants were discussed. Mr.

Thomas expressed high appreciation of the activities of the Jewish emigrant aid societies and stated that the Labor Office will facilitate the work of Jewish representatives in bringing to the attention of the governments the needs of Jewish emigrants. An occasion will present itself at the forthcoming international conference on emigration which will take place in Havana, Cuba, he stated. Morris Rottenberg, who presided over the first session declared that faithful, ardent Zionists will never grow impatient with their task.

Alois Klein, a German merchant of Nauhofwald, Upper Silesia, was senteced to death by the court of Oppeln for the murder of two Jewish merchants, David Kirsch-baum and Max Regen in 1921. The defendant, pleading guilty, offered the explanation that he killed the two Jewish coal merchants because he believed they were in sympathy with Poland in the dispute over the Upper Silesian territory. Two other persons who were implicated in the murder believed likewise he declared.

The others as well as he belong to the German Self -Defense body formed in Upper Silesia against the Polish invasion. The court recommended clemency for the condemned man. 2 Judaism. There is only one Judaism." In keeping with this declaration, the delegates will be asked to strengthen the organization of Orthodox Jewry by providing for field workers and for an effective educational department.

"I do not threaten to leave, but I I do threaten to stay in the Zionist movement and to fight," Dr. Wise declared. He added that the acknowledgement of Zionist realities cannot in any way permit the Zionists to throw up their hands but must continue raising funds for the Palestine work. "We know the worst; We confess to the worst, but will continue to go ahead not under a new leadership but under leadership, we will not permit a default.

Dabber El B'nai Israel V'issaou Speak to the children of Israel and let them go forward, Dr. Wise exclaimed. Dr. Wise in his address declared that even if he knew he stands alone he would say the things he must say today. Comparing the large number of delegates attending the first U.P.A.

conference in Baltimore two years ago with the smaller number in Cleveland, he stated that instead of multitudes he now observes fewer numbers. Although he speaks for himself he is of the belief that the opinions he expresses are the opinions of the vast majority of American Zionists and also many thousand Zionists in Europe. Self-criticism is no defeatism, he said. Dr. Wise said he had the right to take this attitude since he has always been a supporter and friend of the British government.

Attacks Weizmann He related the content of his conversation with Lord Balfour in December 1918, following the adoption by the first American Jewish Congress of the resolution urging Great Britain to assume, the protectorate over Palestine. Balfour had tears in his eyes when he heard of this resolution. "What a token of confidence," Balfour exclaimed to Dr. Wise. The speaker then related the details of the incident between him and Dr.

Weizmann in Basle concerning the resolution introduced into the political commission of the Zionist congress asking for the appointment of a committee under Weizmann's chairmanship to negotiate with the British government concerning political questions. "We can be stifled, suppressed and exiled in Basle, but we can speak our mind in America," Dr. Wise declared. It is unthinkable to leave the presentation of the just demands of the Zionist movement to one man who is a British subject and whose attitude must naturally be different from the attitude of a committee, including representatives from America, Continental Europe and Palestine, a committee which would be under the leadership of the president of the Zionist Organization, Dr. Wise said.

The delegates were gripped by the description of the Palestine situation as presented by Miss Szold, member of the new Jerusalem Executive. Speaking of the new situation created at Basle and of the curtailed budget, Miss Szold decried these conditions which cut into the flesh of the educational work and of the Chalutzim movement, practically closing Palestine's gates to them. Sacher Threatens Resignation The speaker read a cablegram from Harry Sacher in which he declared that unless American Zionists meet their financial obligations in Palestine by the end of October, he will be compelled to resign. A cable was also read from Chaim Nachman Bialik, urging the immediate raising of funds to continue the Hebrew schools left unsupported by the new educational budget. Miss Szold added that the London Executive's inability to provide five thousand pounds to settle the claims of small creditors of the Palestine labor contracting organization, Solol Bonch, compelled it to go into bankruptcy.

The past ten years were "a honeymoon period" for Palestine and the Zionist workers. Now a period of readjustment has been entered which will bring about the necessary change only if American Jews will display an intellectual understanding for the task of the new executive and rally to its support. there, should not have killed Petlura. The contention that he killed Petlura to avenge the pogroms is not trustworthy, besides no one could prove Petlura's guilt. "You chose the wrong means to serve your brethren," the prosecutor said, turning to Schwartzbard.

"The man Schwartzbard does not deserve a monument but a crown of thorns in order to expiate his guilt. Schwartzbard, with his criminal past, cannot pose as the avenger of his nation." The prosecutor reminded the jury that Schwartzbard was a naturalized foreigner and declared that "France has enough foreign political murderers." Of the four and a half hours consumed by the attorneys in summing up the case, Henri Torres took less than one third. In an impassioned address which lasted for 90 minutes, Torres impressed upon the jury that it was not Schwartzbard whose fate will be decided but it is the anti-Jewish pogroms which are being judged before the court of French justice. He began his address at 4:40 p. m.

with the judges and the jurors concentrating their attention on him. He declared that he assumes full responsibility for his decision not to call the remaining 85 witnesses, including those eye witness of the Ukrainian pogroms who had come from the United States to testify. He took this decision because of his trust in the fair sense of justice of the French jury. He knew that French public opinion always fought the anti-Jewish pogroms and he is certain that France cannot remain indifferent now. Argument of Defense "I am confident that the jury has but one question to decide whether or not Schwartzbard is guilty.

I am sure it will reply that he was not guilty. This does not mean the glorification of Sholom Schwartzbard. Schwartz-bard's fatherland is France, he shed his blood for her, but he did not forget the persecuted brethren of his race. Born in Balta, Schwartzbard remembers the persecutions." The counsel for the defense then drew a vivid picture of the anti-Jewish pogroms which impressed itself indelibly on the court, jury and audience. Even Cesare Campinchi, head of the Petlura party counsel, appeared paler.

"Schwartzbard was calmer in Paris where he tried to forget the pogroms, until he learned that Petlura had arrived here. His desire for revenge was reawakened. Witnesses have testified that the pogrom orphans who how live in Palestine tremble even today when Petlura's name is mentioned. Campinchi, who was born in Corsica, must know what revenge is. Schwartzbard acted independently.

He had no accomplices. Twelve of Schwartzbard 's. relatives were killed in the pogroms. Petlura wanted to govern through the pogroms. The entire Ukrainian government was based on German aid.

The pogroms were usually accompanied by cries of 'Long live The public prosecutor demands severe punishment for Schwartzbard," Torres exclaimed. "But Schwartzbard was punished enough. He was imprisoned for 18 months and a doubt never entered his mind of the justice of the French people. "The French revolution first gave emancipation to the Jewish people. The Jews have always been grateful to France.

Don't darken that feeling. Not only the fate of Schwartzbard but the prestige of France rests with you, gentlement of the jury," he declared. Schwartzbard declined the privilege of addressing any last words to the jury, declaring that he has nothing more to say. It was stated that the verdict was reached by a vote of nine to three.

The Zionist achievement has no precedent in the history of any colonial enterprise, be it either in Africa, Australia or America. The conference applauded the Yablonner Rebbe, who, in welcoming the conference wished that in addition to money the hearts of American Jews be one for the Palestine work. Cable messages were received from Dr. Weizmann, David Lloyd George, and Lord Balfour. A message was also received from Nathan Strauss who scored wealthy Jews who fail to do their duty toward Palestine.

The enemies of Zion are now trying to magnify our difficulties in Palestine, they are also endeavoring to minimize our achievements. Nothing is further from the truth than this sinister propaganda, he declared. Dr. Magnes Speaks The conference listened with great attention to the address of Dr. Judah L.

Magnes on the work of the Hebrew university. The spiritual and the intellectual was the deepest reality in the life of Jewry in the lands of the Diaspora, Dr. Magnes stated. The Hebrew university is the most practical single thing Jewry has in Palestine. Speaking of the general situation in the country Dr.

Magnes stated that although these were days of economic crisis there is no need of giving way to despair, Jewish achievements in Palestine are possible, he declared. Before the appeal for immediate cash for the Jerusalem Executive, Judge Mack left a deep impression on the delegates. We must be in deadly earnest. Things are in a desparately bad condition. Zionists are now on the threshhold of the Jewish agency.

Can the Zionists come to the non-Zionist Jews as beggars who have failed in their task? Judge Mack asked. Judge Mack was followed by Louis Lipsky who made the appeal declaring that unless the U.P.A. is enabled to furnish the Zionist Executive in Jerusalem with funds, it will be in insurmountable difficulties within 60 days. The first to respond to this appeal was Topkis, who guaranteed $10,000 for the city of Wilmington, Delaware. Judge Mack was among those who gave their subscriptions in advance, presenting his subscription of $1500.

The conference decided to send a cable message to Lord Balfour on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917. Other resolutions adopted at the conference express thanks and appreciation to Judge William M. Lewis for his work as national chairman of the United Palestine Appeal. A resolution adopted urges the delegates to impress their constituencies with the necessity to give the utmost support to Miss Henrietta Szold and the other members of the Palestine Zionist Executive.

The identity of this deity and the significance of the stone are unknown. Other discoveries include a fine Egyptian faience finger ring, bearing the sacred eye. Further proof of Cretan and Cypriot influences in this area 3,000 years ago is revealed in the shape of the handle of a pottery vessel with two groups of linear signs, similar in part to Cretan linear writing and in part to the Cypriot Archaic alphabet. There also have been unearthed a finely made figurine of a bull, a childs rattle of pottery, with a couple of small stones inside it, a very unusual pot with a strainer spout and a moveable disk-like strainer fitting its mouth, a beautifully made bronze axehead and two buckles of isis. The expedition has been working at Tell-El-Hosn, which means mounds of fortress where eight levels have been identified as existing from before the time of Amenophis III to that of the crusades, covering 33 centuries.
