CHURCHILL SLAMS
BOLSHEVIST CHARGE AGAINST ZIONISTS
LONDON,^ (J. C. B.). Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for the Colonies, declared that the Jew¬ ish immigrants to Palestine from Sep¬ tember, 1920^ to December, 1921, in¬ cluded thirty-three per cent from Po¬ land, fifteen per cent from Ukraine, five per cent from Roumania, -eleven per cent from the Ukraine, tliree and a half per cen'i. British and two per cent American.
Secretary Churchill tool^ occasion to smattcr the Bolshevist bogey in so far as it attaches to Zionism, which is given currency by the Morning Post and its associates. "It is a mistake to think that the bulk of Jews is satu¬ rated with Bolshevism," Mr. Churchill said. "Bolshevism is foreign to Zion¬ ism, which is in Ivtxn violently de¬ nounced and persecuted by Bolshe¬ vists'."

"A great success" is the only way to describe the First Annual Spring' Dance given by Zion Lodge I. O. B. B. at the Southern Hotel, on Thursday evening, March IGtli. The hall was crowded to capacity and everyone present instantly entered into the spirit of the affair. The music and entertainment was highly pleasing. The young people, especially those from the four Jewish fraternities at the State University, all expressed keen satisfaction with the affair. Many of them will remember the 16th of March as one of their most cherished experiences—an experience which, moreover, did not tax their purses.
Compliments  Received
The Arrangements Committee in charge of the affair was much compli¬ mented on the results of their fine work. Miiny that attended the dance expressed a desire to see the Zion Lodge sponsor several more such affairs in the next few months. It is hoped that this may turn out as expected.
The Arrangements Committee * was composed of the following: Julius N. Zeckhauser, chairman, IJarry Kohn, Jack Gilbert, Ben I<aplan and Herman Liebernian.
Attract   College   Boys
Mr. Abe Weinfeld, president of Zion Lodge, expressed his belief that such affairs as the one staged on March IGtli at the Southern Hotel, will tend to at¬ tract the college boys to membership in the great international fraternal order. Independent Order of B'nai B'rith. They will also promote the cardinal principles of the Order—Benevolence, Brotherly Love, and Harmony; and will hasten the time when distinctions be¬ tween one element and another in the community will be completely obliter ated.
A Teachers' Exchange and Registry has been established by the Educational Group of the Federation of Jewish Charities of Philadelphia. Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of Dropiie College, and acting president of the - Jewish Theological Seminary, is at the head of this group, and the Registry is one of the few among its'kind among Jewish teachers and J-ewish schools in this country.

Samiiel Untermyer Makes Strong Plea For the Keren Hayesod
Expresses Confidence in the Plans of Keren Hayesod Officials
NEW YORK.—Judge Henry J, Dan- iiciibnum, chairman of the New York Keren Hayesod campaign, announced the receipt of the following message' from Mr, Samuel Untermyer:
"As Americans, fostered on the daunt¬ less spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers, we are proud to do our utmost for the great pioneer enterprise of rebuilding the Holy Land. This is a task which calls for boldness and zeal and which involved us in personal hardship and sacrifice. It is a great historic venture whose be¬ ginnings are full of obstacles and difli- culties, but whose end will influence the course of the Jewish people, and indeed the destiny of iiumai>ity.

Brandeis Scored at Zionist Conference Mow Being Held
He is the Spirit of the Opposition in the U. S., Declares Weiz¬ mann
On Tuesday night, March 28th, at 7:45 p. ni,, Columbus Jewry will have as its guests of honor at a big mass meeting at the Progress Club, two ot the most widely talked of men in American Jewry today—David A, Brown of Detroit, and James  H,  Becker of Chicago,
These distinguished gentlemen are coming here to assist in launching Colum¬ bus Jewry's Relief Campaign for $.5-2,O0O.0O.
They arc prepared to relate in plain words the' nature' of the conditions now obtaining among our suffering co-religionists abroad.
They will not exaggerate; they will not be sensational; they'will not be. dramatic, nor eloquent.    Just the simple unvarnished  truth  is what they will relate  to  their  auditors  of this  city.
The Cry of the Orphans
The cry of tlie orphans who by the hundreds of thousands are stretching out their hands to us today—they will voice in their own inimitable fashion.. The wailing of bereaved and broken-hearted mothers will be heard in their clearest accents thru the voice of David A. Brown. The despairing anguish of the outraged daughters of Israel- will be described in vivid words, by that prificely soa of ¦ Israel—Jimmie Becker—who left the comforts and pleasures of a wealthy and refined and cultured home, to seek the peace of his moaning and suffering brethren in the war devastated regions pf Russia, Poland, the Ukraine, Galicia and Austria-Hungary. Jimmie Becker saw the glaring realities of the hell into which many pdrtions of Europe have been turned during the last) eight years.
Starving Babes
With his own eyes he saw the starv¬ ing babes and children. He heard the' wailing of the tortured and plagued inr,'' habitants of the many cities 'which have been ruined by the' armies and'brigands which have traversed them. ^ He aho sa\r"iri"a'Il tfJbir iuriSWi'aiidf'giiastli-V ness the results of the pogroms which have taken place in many sections of Eastern Europe.
The Cry of the Cbildre0
Suffering and horror have been the daily lot - of the Jewish children of Europe these past seven years and over. Eyes that should have sparkled with in¬ nocent joy have been denied this birth¬ right of every child brought into this world. Instead, they have been filmed with. unc[uenehcd tears, as they have looked upon atrocities of the most bru¬ tal character. - They . have witnessed - murder and rape. They have witnessed crimes too horrible to describe; have gazed upon death in all of its most hideous  forms.
Lips  that' should   have  known   the kisses  of   loving  parents,   that  should have laughed and sung, are drawn with hunger, with pain; are tremulous with , never-silenced,' frightened sobs.
Some of them—just a handful of the 300,00OT-have set down in writing the infinitely pathetic stories of-their bitter lives. , The Ohio Jetiiish Chronicle is publishing these tnigic 'autobiographies in the hope that the plea whicli falters' from their lips will be answered by the Jews of America.
"Everything Dark Before My Eyes"
My father died three months ago. -He was terribly scared for the Balachowitz. We are sleeping six years on the bare' flooi", because the Cossacks took every¬ thing away from us. I am very miser-' able since my father died, and every¬ thing seems dark before my eyes. Why- does God punish me so much? I really can't write any more, because my eyes are filled  with tears,

HIGHLY INTERESTING

BERLIN, (J. T. A.)—The opposition to the present administration of the World Zioiiist Organization was char¬ acterized by Dr, Chaim Weizmann, President, as inspired by Justice Bran- deis of the United States Supreme Court, who retired from leadership of American Zionism at the Cleveland Convention last June.
Dr. Wei/maiin was addressing the meeting of the Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization, which is in session here, when he referred to Justice Brandeis as the spirit of the op¬ position whicli, he s.aid, was undermin- (C«iuUuu«4 oa !>¦«•()

The reform Jewish congregation in Ocala, Fla., has been reorganized and a religious school instituted. Rabbi George Benedict of Tampa, Fla., will visit the congregation periodically pending the selection of a permanent rabbi.
"Then They Took My Mother—"
I was born in Ratno, in 1908, My father was a merchant. This was dur¬ ing the time of the Russian. When the Russian went out of Ratno, he burned our house and took the cows ^yith him. Then we went to Krevnie, and we hired a house there, and we live in the place six years. Then there was a revolt, and the Bolsheviks started to flee. This was on the eve of Rosli Hashona. On Rosh Hashona the Balachovtsi came to us. They immediately set to killing and made us all sort of troubles. Of some people they would cut off a lip or a shoulder and then commanded them to dig ditcher and bury therein the dead. Then they told my fatiier to turn toward the ditch, and they shot him twice through the head, and he fell into th^ grave.   Then they took my mother
