"With the continued support of the Jews throughout the world in behalf of the rebuilding of Palestine, I feel con¬ fident that the future of the Jewish ^fa- tional Home is assured."
Interesting Meeting Held by Local Council
The vestry rooms of the Bryden Road Temple were crowded to capacity at the last meeting of the Columbus Sec tion, Council of Jewish Women, held Tuesday afternoon, February 5th. Mrs. Jerome Kohn presided.
A delightful playlet, "A Colonial Dress Rehearsal," wras presented by a number of Junior Council members un¬ der the direction of Miss Frieda Jacobs, chairman of the entertainment com mittee of that organization. Miss Ja¬ cobs, who also arranged the playlet, was assisted by Mrs. Max Harmon and Mrs. I. Wolf. Miss Coryne Basch, president of the Junior Auxiliary, acted as property manager. The playlet in¬ cluded many of Jhe song and dance numbers that our grandmothers well remember. The costumes, gotten from the Emilie Sullivan studios, were dainty and  picturesque.
Reports read by the chairman of the various committees during the course of the business session of the meeting were most gratifying.
Mrs. A. J. Isaac, chairman of the Hospital committee, reported that maga zine racks were installed last year in the White Cross, Mt. Carmel and Ra' dium hospitals, and that arrangements have bee'n made to keep them filled with current magazines.
In the report given by Mrs. Nathan Gumble, chairman of the Memorial and Scholarship Fund committee, it was learned that the increase in the fund last year enabled the Council to transfer 1300.00 to the fund for immigrant aid" in addition to giving assistance to seV' eral Ohio State University students.
Mrs. Ernest Jaros, chairman of the legislative committee, urged that Coun fiV members take action regardini? child labor and become  identified  with the League of Women Voters.
A report pf the Junior Council Auxil iary showed that they w?rc giving milk to a number of undernourished babies whose parents could not provide milk for them.

LONDON, (J. T. A.)—Russia is on the verge of a new upheaval, which it is_j)redicted >vilj be marked''by unprece¬ dented pogroms against the Jews, says the London Daily Mail today in an ar¬ ticle by Sir Percival Phillips, the first of a series on the. situation in Russia, ob¬ tained from an Englishman who has just returned to London after many years' residence in Russia.
Feasants throughout the country, says the Daily Mail, "are whispering: the battle-cry which they believe to be a legacy from Lcnine: "God save Russia and kill the Jews," a phrase which the dead Premier is reported to have i;e- peated as a liturgy, "cra,wling on all fours like a beast around the room in his carefully guarded retreat at Gork^." Everywhere there is the cry: "Kill the Jewsl", sending a shudder through Jews everywhere,"

groms have-alrcatfy'Been'report' are moving northward with all\ rapidity. Hundreds of Jews are- j,our- ing into Moscow, which has become known as the New Jerusalem. The British Agency in Moscow is being be¬ sieged' by Jews, eager to go to Palestine.
The emigration depots in the Baltic states are filled with Jews, anxious to sail for America. Zinoviefl and Ka¬ meneff are Jews and Stalin, who is an Armenian, follows them in all that they do, but Tchitcherin, Rykoff, Sapronoff and others high in Soviet government circles are avowedly anti-Semitic.
The peasaltts are against the Jews; the army is against thc Jews, and Rus¬ sians generally believe that their mis¬ fortune is due to Jews. A new word is spreading in Russia. It is VEP, the first initials of the words, Wseobstochi Evreiski Pogrom.
"The shadow of the coming pogrom," says the Daily Mail, "has blighted the Bolshevik dream of world domination, and, although a few fanatics at the top of the' flimsy structure left by Lenine will cherish that fantasy, all the prac¬ tical Jews are concentrating their en¬ ergy, time and money on saving their lives and avoiding the deluge of blood which is clearly before them. Trotzky, head of the army, although himself a Jew, is regarded, curiously enough, as being anti-Jew in sentiment and politics, and it is even said that he would not find a pogrom distasteful."

Leaders of American Jewry Mourn Passing of Woodrow Wilson, the
Great Humanitarian and Idealist
Glowing Tributes Are Paid to Martyr President by Louis Marshall, Abram I. Elkus, and Stephen S. Wise-^ His Friendship Towards Jews Is Recounted and Extolled — Brandeis' Appointment to United States Su¬ preme Court Is Recalled
JAMES W. GERARD CALLS WOODROW
WILSON "WORLD'S GREATEST IDEALIST"
NEW YORK: (J. T. A.).—The death of Woodrow Wilson, war-time Presi¬ dent of the United States and staunch friefid of the Jews, has stirred the Jews of the country as has no other event in many months. Mr. Wilson had often demonstrated his intense interest in Jew¬ ish questions and was influential in ob¬ taining at the Peace Conference in Paris recognition of racial and religious mi¬ norities, which has reacted m6st favor¬ ably for Jewish minorities in Eastern Europe. He heartily seconded the Bal¬ four Declaration and urged the approval of the British Mandate over Palestine.
Mr. Wilson vetoed three restrictive immigration measures. The former president did not hesitate to say to those close to him that he had vetoed the bills because he believed them to be discrim¬ inatory and that he thought them to be aimed principally at Jews.
In the debate over the abrogation of the Treaty with Russia, Mr. Wt'son de¬ manded the recognition of the American citizenship of Jews ending a fight which had been waged for many years.
Appointed Brandeis
It Was Mr. Wilson who appointed Louis p. Brandeis to the Supreme Court Bench, an appointment which he fought vigorously to have approved and in which he was successful, overcoming the prejudices of the Supreme Court Itself and of Congress. As Governor of New Jersey he had previously showed his friendliness for the Jews in ap¬ pointing Samuel Kaltsch to the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
In an exclusive statement tp the cor¬ respondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Joseph P. Tumulty, Secretary to Mr. Wilson, while he was Governor of New Jersey and later President of the United States/ discussed the friend¬ ship which the deceased statesman had for'the Jewish people.
''President Wilson entertained' no doubt whatever of the anti-Jewish char¬
acter of immigration restriction," said Mr. Tumulty, stating frankly that he himself shared the deceased ex-Presi¬ dent's conviction. For the first time Mr. Tumulty also revealed what has hitherto been unknowA officially, that Mr. Wilson had decided to appoint Jus¬ tice Louis D. Brandeis as one of Amer- ica's.;plenipotentiaries to the Versailles iPeace Conference but was prevented from carrying out this wish by the late Chief Justice of Supreme Court White who refused to grant Justice Brandeis leave for that purpose, stating that thc, court was too busy to spare Brandeis.
Mr. Tumulty also definitely confirmed the long standing impression that Brandeis was one of Wilson's principal advisers both durinfi^ and after the war lie said Wilson frequently consulted Brandeis on some of the greatest prob¬ lems of the government, especially when critical situations arose and placed much reliance on Brandeis' advice. Mr. Tum¬ ulty recalled some incidents in con¬ nection with Mr. Wilson's nomination of Brandeis to the Supreme Court.
"The President had not made the slightest Intimation beforehand of his intention to nominate Brandeis," Mr. Tumulty said. "One morning he called, me and said, 'I have decided to nominate Louis D. Brandeis to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court Bench.' 'My GodI' I exclaimed, 'you will nelver be able to put that overl He Is a Jew and the 'a'g? interests will oppose him for his ad¬ vanced views I' 'I \vill ptit him ovet,' the President replied firmly, 'he Is a man of the highest integrity and the country needs the kind of vision he possesses on the Supreme Court Bench.' I will never forget the next thing the President asked me to do. It was so unusual" Mr, Tumulty continued. "It was always customary tp send nominations to the Senate with one of my assistants in the White House. In this Instance, however. (.CpHtf»ued OH Page 9.)
An unusual program lias been ar¬ ranged by the committee in charge of the next meeting of thc Rose E) Lazarus Sisterhood to be held at the Bryden Road Temple, Tuesday, February 12th, at two o'clock, of which Mrs. Ernest S. Jai;os is chairman.

-of_Xittannati_jdiirfLJs«ajini5C5WQB2i club, being herself ""a fine artist. She has won a number of golf champion¬ ships  also.
At present Mrs. Worlfum is the chair¬ man of the Cincinnati Child WeKare Association and a member of the State and National Board of the same organi- za(tion. She Is also head of the Cin¬ cinnati branch of the Ohio Humane Society. She comes here from Chicago where she read a paper on "Illegitimacy," at the Child Welfare convention there
Mrs. Henry Englander of Cincinnati who has often appeared on programs toQtethcr with Mrs. Workum is also 'expected here for the meeting. ,She will talk on "Friends of Our ChI'dren." Mrs. Englander organized the.,Children's Library in Cincinnati and Is the wife of Dr. Henry Englander who after Dr. Kornfeld's leave took charge of the services at the Bryden Road Temple for almost a year.

Rosenberg of Washington as chairman of the Board of Delegates on Civil Rights, succeeding thc late ,Simon Wolf who held this position for over thirty years.

Mrs. Dayid Brown Passes Away in Detroit
Rabbi Max Drob, chairman of the campaign to raise $1,000,000 for The Jewish. Theological Seminary of Amer¬ ica, of which David A. Brown is coun¬ selor, issued the following statement upon receipt of the shocking news of the sudden death of Mrs. David A. Brown in Detroit last Friday: "The Jews.of America deeply mourn the loss of Paula Kahn Brown, be¬ loved and devoted wife of David A. Brown, whp was the incentive and guid¬ ing star In the splendid career of her noted husband. Herself a leading spirit in philanthropic and communal effort, she was David A. Brown's complement and asspciate in all of the great things he has dohp for the weal of Israel in America and, indeed, throughout the world.
"The benignity of her spirit anA the wisdom of her judgment were felt most powerfully by those of us who have had the benefit of David A. Brown's advice and counsel In the campaign to raise an adequate endowment fund for The Jewish : Theological Seminary of America, aii effort to which he has de¬ voted much time and energy. In this hour pf his great grief, in which we, his associates, share, we offer him the sympathy which comes from loving hearts, and the prayer that He who giveth aod He who taketh away may send hint comfort."
Rabbi Drob announced that in view of the sad circumstances, the coast-to- coast tour which Mr, Brown had con¬ templated will have to be postponed.
The Zionist District held a regular meeting last Thursday evening, Jan¬ uary 31st with a splendid attendance. Mr. B. F. Levinson gave a very in¬ teresting talk which was enjoyed by all present.
It is urged that the next meeting to be held Monday, February 11th, at 8 p. m. at the Columbus Hebrew School, will be well attended so that the or¬ ganization' may begin rendering a big¬ ger, hetter seryico'in Zionism.
