POGROMS AND PERSECUTION OF
JEWS IN THE UKRAINE STILL
CONTINUING.
London: (By I. J. P. B.) Reports of
new outbreaks against the Jews of the
Ukraine continue to reach here daily.
A pogrom planned to take place in
Yelisavetgrad was only averted by
the appeal of the priest Volosoff.
However twenty young Jewish men
were shot and many men and women
arrested in the streets without any
cause whatsoever.
The Jewish population of Zlotopol
has been plundered of everything it
possessed even clothing and the
Jews have to go about dressed in
makeshift garments fashioned out of
tacks. The hooligan bands twice po-
grommed the town and only the active
nd heroic vigilance of the Jewish
self-defense battalion is now prevent-
ing further outbreaks.
Attempts to plunder the Jewish col-
onies: Saga Idak and Israelowa
were frustrated by the effective resis-
tance of the colonists who did not
permit the pogromists to do any dam-
age. All the Jewish homes in Pogro-
bitcha and in Visku were plundered
and the stolen property later sold at
auction. Before evacuating Pletteno-
yo the Bolshevikl carried through po-
groms. In Ukraine as in Russia and Pol-
and the only hope left to the Jews is
emigration either to Palestine or to
America.
Mr. Elkus has also served as Ambas-
sador to Turkey and has distinguish-
ed himself throughout a long and ac-
tive career by his devotion to Jewish
Welfare and to the public interest in
general.

ODESSA JEWS ORGANIZE SELF-
DEFENSE BATTALION.
London: (By I. J. P . B.) Advices
reaching here state that since the
Jews of Odessa have organized com-
panies for self-defense the attacks
upon Jews there have diminished to
very considerable extent The self-defense
plan is favored by the govern-
ment which realizes that the Jews
cannot depend upon the regular army
for protection.
JEWS APPEAL AGAL.ST DRASTIC
SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS IN
POLAND.
Warsaw: (B. I. J. P. B.) Although
Polish Parliament leaders have so far
rejected all proposed Jewish amend-
ments to the Sunday closing law
which would modify the latter so as
to permit Jews to conduct their busi-
ness for a few hours on Sunday the
Jewish deputation) is still fighting
hard against the bill. The Jewish dep-
uties have addressed a strong appeal
to the President of the Parliament in
which they assert that the projected
Sunday law would work harm not only
to the Jewish religion but to the
state as well.
