Burned.
(By George Seldes.)
Berlin, July 19. Russia's 6,000,000
Jews are facing extermination by
massacre. As the famine is spread
ing the counter revolutionary move
ment is gaining, and the Soviet's con
trol is waning.
This statement is contained in of
ficial documents presented to the Ber
lin government, which declared that
numerous pogroms are raging in all
parts of Russia and the Ukraine.
The data was gathered and brought
to Berlin by Dr. Joseph Kreinin, a
noted Jewish social worker, and presi

Jewish societies. He says that a

and scores of Jews have been killed,

cow secretly, says the pogroms are

Home), Minsk and Volhynia. They

Peasants Attack Germans.
He says in the Vlga region a new
sort of pogrom occurred when Rus
sian peasants attacked German settle
ments because they were "foreign."

Gen. Budenny into White Russia was
for the purpose of pacifying the
region.
"My object in visiting Germany
and the United States is to organize
all relief organizations throughout
the world, Jewish as well as others.
The only hope for the millions of Jews
is for American aid, both material and
political, although I cannot expect
much effect from any political steps,
inasmuch as the Soviets are losing
control everywhere except in the
cities. The massacres are occurring
chiefly in the small towns."

DONATES BOOKS ON JEWISH
SUBJECTS.
Donating books on Jewish subjects
to the library of the University of
Oklahoma is a policy adopted by the
members of Temple B'Nai Israel of
Oklahoma City, on the urgent recom
mendation of Rabbi Joseph Blatt,
members of the congregations have
contributed books on subjects of Jew
ish interest to the University Library.
The University authorities appreciate
the favor and approve of the plan
whereby students of the University
are afforded opportunity to consult

ish religion and literature. Rabbi
Blatt is in frequent communication
with the Jewish students attending
the University and occasionally makes

CAMDEN, S. C, PLANNING CONGREGATION.
Camden, S. C, is looking forward
to the organization of a congregation
as the result of an address delivered
there recently by Rabbi F. K. Hirsch
of Sumter, S. C, who spoke before a
mass meeting of the Jewish commu
nity and urged them to form a con
gregation. Although traveling facili
ties between Sumter and Camden are
very poor Rabbi Hirsch is planning to
visit the community at frequent inter
vals and assist them in establishing a
religious school. A pupil of that re
ligious school was confirmed in the
class of the Sumter Congregation.
The religious school at Manning,
S. C, is well organized and under the
management of the Misses Irma
Weinberg and Nettie Levy, meeta
every Saturday morning. Rabbi
Hirsch has been directing this school
with the help of these young ladies.
The adult Jewish population of Man
ning are members of the Sumter congregation.
TO PLAN STUDENT CONGREGATION.
Acting on the suggestion of Rabbi
Jumes G. Heller, of Jcshurun Congre
gation, Cincinnati, the plan to form a
student congregation of the Jewish
students of the University of Cincin
nati will be taken under consideration
by the Board of Jewish Minister of
Cincinnati, which was recently organ
ized. There is not the same amount
of work necessary at Cincinnati as
elsewhere, since the students have the
opportunity of attending services, or
belong to a young people's organiza
tion. Many are affiliated with con
gregations. The Board propose to
make a thorough investigation of the
matter and report the results of their
survey at the next regular meeting.
VISITS ELM IRA COLLEGE.
"There are thirteen Jewish students
now attending Elmira College,' Rabbi
Moses Eckstein writes the Depart
ment of Synagog and School Exten
sion in reply to a letter of inquiry,
and "half of these are from Elmira,"
he adds. This college is in the City of
Elmira. The students can attend re
ligious services in Elmira whenever
they so desire. Some of them attend
regularly. Therefore there is no need
of any special Jewish work at the El
mira College. Rabbi Eckstein concen
trates on his welfare work in the Re
formatory located at Elmira, where
during the Passover season the In
mates were permitted to hold a Seder
Sen-ice.
