Miss Sevilla Peters, who has been learning to; swim at the J.: C. G. is said to be one of the best back stroke artists ever seen in the Center pool.

Dave Chesnau has nothing but praise for the young woman, who has held the spotlight at the Center with her back and famous crawl strokes.

"I've Grown so Lonesome, Thinking of You." .

"What Does it Matter?"; . Well, it's this, the Omaha Graduate Club of. the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is giving its annual rushing party, Tuesday, August 23 at the Highland Club. The affair is groomed to be one of the most elaborate and pepiest held in Omalia. No, it won't be "At Sundown" but at the Highland.

Max Markowich, 16, who comes from Winnipeg, Canada, spent several days in Omaha. Markowich related how there were approximately 20,000 Jews and Winnipeg and the town has no Community Center. Out of 20,000 persons, the youthful Mar. kowich said there were but 625 belonging to the B'nai B'rith.

When taken through the new J. C. C. building, Markowich was greatly impressed with the various sections of the building, mainly the physical department.

The golf tournament at the Jewish Community Center will come to a close Sunday. Nathan Fine advanced to the finals. Dave Chesnau stated late Wednesday that the toumey would probably be won by a "dark horse," who has played sensational good during the entire tourney. This "dark horse" has been overlooked by the various scribes, and according to Chesnau, the "kid" stands a good chance to win the links bunting. * • » Extensive preparations are being made by the younger school set, who are planning to return to various colleges and universities throughout the country. One Omaha debutante has already finished or has nearly completed purchasing her wardrobe, or what you want to call it. This particular young lady is about a cinch to enter Nebraska University, according to reports eminating from a direct source late Wednesday. *

Mr. AlexLipsman and Mr. Charles Schlaifer, -who formerly managed dances at 'the. ^Eel-Pine dancing academy have through the courtesy of Mr. Getsoii and the directors of the directors of the Jewish Communit y Center, leased the hall there, and will conduct informal dances every Sunday night, beginning Sunday evening, 'August 21.

These affairs are to be conducted -in an absolutely respectable manner and it is up to the patrons of the former dances and the meny new friends to attend, if they wish to have regular'dances in their , own

The Conference on Jewish Rights which is being convened jointly by the Committee of Jewish Delegations and the American "Jewish Congress in Zurich, Switzerland, August 17 to 20, has been the cause of many heated discussions, both in Europe and America.

-' Professor Simon Dubnow, the famous Jewish historian, who, is to be one of the most distinguished speakers at the Conference, when asked to give his opinion onthis^" very important question, made;, the foiowing state: ment: '\ "I would not have interfered in this controversy if it did' not concern one of the most vital problems resulting from the World War. After the peace treaties had officially, recognized the East European Jewish groups as minorities whose rights are under the protection of the League of Nations, it is necessary to form a Jewish interterritorial organization to coordinate all the efforts to protect these rights in the different ' countries—^-Poland, Rumania, Latvia, Hungary, Lithuania.

The German' minority in Poland, Italy or Checko-^Slovakia can appeal to Germany's' representatives in the League of Nations. The Jews have no representative in the League, and must therefore unite in one solid body which will serve as the mediator and seek to bring about complete fulfillment of the guarantees of the rights of minorities vouchsafed in the Treaties of Versailles in 1919. This is the only method for^the Jewish leaders-if• they do riot wish to return to the old method of secret diplomacy—L"Shtadlonus" and to seeking'degrading personal ravors from ministers and diplomats, whose stay in power is so doubtful. One thing must not be forgotten—before the war the Jew, each in. his own country, fought for his emancipation or the -fulfillment of the emancipation granted him, but today we have the right to appeal to the international bodies, which have guaranteed all minority rights in the rebuilt Europe. It is a mistake to believe that Minority Rights means only national-cultured autonomy; no, it implies all kinds of rights of the minorities—citizens', political and cultural. For are not the Jews of Rumania or Poland fighting today that they should not be attacked in the streets, that their students should not be expelled from the schools, that the "numerus clausus" should be withdrawn, that they should have access to government posts, etc.? - When they ask for government subsidies for Jewish schools, is that illegal? Are not all minorities doing the same?

"It is said'that it is dangerous to consider the Jewish national groups in East Europe as national minorities because the word "national" is not mentioned in the peace treaties in connection with the-Jews, but" even those assimilated, West European Jews, who argue thus, must also agree that the Jews are in all the countries at least a- religious minority. Can they 'overlook the fact that ""these rights are not safeguarded and not raise any protest? It is of no concern to the Chief Rabbi of France if a Jewish student is being attacked'in Jassy or Bucharest, whether * he be considered a member oitt religious minority as he thinks, or as a member of a national minority as the unassimilated Jews of Rumania think ? " j "It is said that- it is dangerous to form an international"'Jewish organization for the protection of Jewish minorities, but. those who think so speak in the name of such organizations as the Joint Foreign Committee in London, the American Jewish Committee in America, the Alliance Israelite in Paris and other inter-territorial Jewish organizations. Would it aoi be more tactful in the eyes of the world if the grievances of the Jews were voiced by only one all powerful organization and not by five or six alliances or' committees, who very often are not able to come to any understanding ?

Berlin (J. T. A.)—Active participation of the Hilfsverein der Deutschen Juden in the reconstruction work of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in Russia was begun with the departure of Dr. M. Wischnitzer, general secretary of the Hilfs, verein.

Dr. Wischnitzer will spend several weeks in Russia where he will study the cultural and social situation of the Jews. His trip is in connection with the plan of the Hilfsverein to take active part in the Russian colonization work.

Hias Delegation Protests Unfair Tests for United States Immigrants Washington.—(J. T. A.)—A special delegation of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid and Sheltering Society of America (Hias) consisting of John L. Bernstein, B. Vladeox and Isadore Hirschfield, called on Surgeon General Cummings yesterday in order to confer with him on the so-called itelligence tests to which Polish Jewish emigrants have to submit when applying for visas. . ' The delegation drew the attention of Dr. Cumming to the fact that while the American officials in Poland may have sincere intentions with regard to the questions they ask the emigrants, the questions are of such a nature that they create the impression on the emigrant that he is being ridicul.

The applicants for visas then become confused and embarrased and their replies cannot be considered an indication of whether or not they are mentally proficient.

Dr. Cumming evinced grpat interest in the statements of the delegation.

He asked the committee to submit a memorandum and that upon consideration of the memorandum by the American medical supervisors abroad and by himself, he would communicate his decision.

The action of the Hias in this matter was based on complains which reached them from many Jews in Poland that they are being unfairly treated by the American Consulate in Warsaw. It was pointed out in these protests that the officials at the consulate deliberately engage in practices with regard to the mental tests which are in' no way justified. The emigrants complain that they are asked ridiculous questions which frequently prevent them from. obtaining visas.

The Jewish ^Workmen's Emigration

bureau in Warsaw has collected a number of these questions asked the prospective emigrants and has published a few of them In the Polish press as an indication of the type of questions asked.

"Sarah Waldman was questioned for two hours by the American consulate officials in the following way," the Bureau reports. "How many minutes and seconds are there in an hour?

What does one do when it rains?

What is the defference between man and a woman?" The Consulate refused her a visa ibecacse* she did not answer these questions precisely.

"Mrs. J. Friedman of Pinsk was asked the following questions. What is the difference between summer and winter? What is the,difference between silver and"iron?" To the first she replied, during summer it is warm and in white* it is, cold. Her answer to the second question was that silver and iron are two different metals. The consul refused her application for a visa. Two of Mrs." Friedman's children had already'departed for America and she and her sixteen year old son were to follow. The son obtained a visa but Mrs. .Friedman must remain in Poland all alone."

Other questions asked the emigrants included the following•:: "How many feathers has a goose ? How long is a string ? How' many feet has ten horses?

How many feet has an American cat? - Can you make a stove out of butter?" The emigrants, many of them elderly -people, believe when they hear these questions that they are ridiculed and they loose their composure. If~ their answers are not given quickly, they are often refused visas, the report says.

Britain's Reply t a & n i s t . Dead Sea Concessions Not Granted Mond Company Memorandum Satisfactory Geneva (J. T. A.)—Recommending the continuation of the policy of restricting immigration to Palestine in accordance with the country's capacity for absorption, the Mandates Com, mission of the League of Nations, makes public its report to the Council of the League.

The Commission is satisfied with the information furnished by Great Britain as the mandatory power with regard to the progress of local autonomy. The Commission would like the next report to give more detailed information of the development of self-governing institutions as provided in Article 2 of the Mandate.

The Commission states that the memorandum of the Zionist organization provides valuable information of the activities of the Zionist organization, but calls for no comment on the part of the Commission. The Mandatory's replies to the point raised in the memorandum are wholly satisfactory, the report states.'

Concerning the petition of the Agudath Israel for the right to form separate communities, the Commission states this will be considered when the Communities Ordinance has entered into force.

The petition of the Arab Executive is considered more moderate than previous ones and the Commission believes that a genuine, although gradual, movement is being made toward conciliation and concord.

London (J. T.-A.)—Inquiries in responsible quarters by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency here regarding the report which appeared in the London papers • that - a concession to exploit the mineral resources of the Dead Sea is about to be given to the Imperial Chemical Industries of which Sir Alfred Mond is the head, brought a denial of the report. .

It was declared .that it is likely Mr. Novomejski and a British engineer will be awarded the concession. Mr. Novomejski, who is a Russian Jew was the first to apply for a concession to exploit the salts of the Dead Sea. • *«. * London (J. T. A.)—A concession to exploit the mineral resources of the Dead Sea in Palestine is about to be given the Imperial Chemical Industries, according to reports in news, papers here. The deposits of bromine salts, gypsum and magnesium chloride are estimated to be worth 238 billion pounds (about 1,190 billion dollars), or about 290 times the British war debt to the United States.

The granting.of the concession will be the signal to start one of the biggest commercial enterprises ever undertaken by any nation. It is expected that it will start a continuous flow of surplus profits-into the government coffers of Palestine. Once the enterprise is placed .on a paying basis it will enable the farmers of the British Empire to.obtain potash at approximately half the-current prices.

The Imperial Chemical interests, a merger of practically the entire chemical industry of Britain, made by Brunner, Mond & Company, have been making extensive preparations for the task of exploitation.

A provision likely to be incorporated in the concession is the donation of the entire recovery plant to Palestine government after a term of years, the establishment of vocational schools to train natives for posts in the industry and eventually for administrative and technical posts and the admission of the Palestine government representatives to the board directing the whole project.

The concession is said not to grant an unrestricted monopoly, but to provide that the bulk of surplus profits will go to the government of Palestine, .partly for reinvestment in Palestinian industry. Another provision is said to be the distribution of fertilizer to the farmers of Palestine and Transjordania at cost prices.

ANTWEWISH EXCESSES REPORTED IN BULGARIAN CITY

Zionists Respond to of Zionist Organization Request Meets With Hearty Response of Leaders AIM FOR 2,000 MEMBERS

BY SEPTEMBER 15 New York.—In response to an appeal issued by the Zionist Organization of America for the enrollment of 2,000 Life Members whose clues should create a reserve fund for the organization and discharge its deficit, hundreds of Zionists and many Districts have enrolled under the new plan, the early response indicating that the $200,000 sought by this plan will be raised before the close of the summer months.

FUTURE OF JUDAISM IN SOVIET RUSSIA At the Conference o f Anglo-.Jewish Preachers, recently held in London, the Chief Rabbi took occasion again to revert to the gloomy aspect o£ Jewish religious life in Russia. While there is np interference, with the. practice of Judaism, Jewish religious education is still proscribed and the Jewish communists do all in their power to" see fp-it; that this law is strictly enforced. Dr. Hertz has time and ^gain endeavored to arouse the conscience of Western Jewry : tpj_he dangers lurking in this state of affairs, but, while much, is being done toward relieving the economic stress of Russian Jemy, nothing is being accomplished in the way of relaxing the laws which make it a crime for any one to teach more than:; one child at a time the tenets of the Jewish r e l i g i o n .

After many-attempts, the Jewish leaders in Russia have succeeded in obtaining permission to hold a confjerence of repro^ sentatives of 110" Jewish communities in Spyiet Russia next October, with the. einre^g understanding that- questions delating: to Hadarim, the printing, of -Hebrew;*:books^ and of Minibus Slerature, should he excluded from its deliberations. TheJ^ivish communists, who are-most anxious to balk the convening of such ^conference, are endeavoring to show that such a movement is cqunterrreyplutipnary; associating the religious motive wjth Zionism, the latter .being associated with "h^^ul ? ? England, and thus they succeed in, arousing doubts and suspicionsabout the personnel of the delegation and their Jnotives, It is said that the recent presentation of the Hasidic Rabbi Schneerson, on the fround that he' was collecting funds for Hebrew schppls, was maneuvered by the Evseks, the Jewish communist organization, in order to deter the.Jews from participatmg in the; proppsed conference. It is .further* pointed put that while the Christian and Mohammedan leaders have held such conferences and obtained many privileges, including one to open seminaries for the training of ministers, the attempts made by the Jews in this direction have been repeatedly frustrated through the intgrven-; tion of the Jewish -communists. ^ . .-..•'.

It appears that the Chief Rabbi J s entirely correct in his assumption that it. would be futile to appeal to ^these fanatics tp desist from their campaign of persecution against the* Jewish religion. The Jewish, leaders of the Western worlfl, however, who have of late come into qlose touch with the Soviet authorities nnd have succeeded in Establishing ;frie|idlsi relations with them, -should demand that- the elemental' righjfcof. religious freedom be given to the Jews of "Russia. It appears that hitherto they had not the courage or th£ freedom tp touch upon a subject which may be regarded as purely internal, and in which outsiders should not interfere. The matter, however, is of such vital importance a.nd so closely alSed to the physical and economic welfare of the Jews, .which theyvse^k to advance, that it is impossible any longer to shut their eyes" to ]t- What advantage will there be if the Jews are permitted to Establish themselves economically, and gradually lose their Judaism ?^ Is : it for the purpose of increasing the number of the peasant population of Russia that we are asked tp cpntrfbute milUpijs.of dollars? The great majority of Jews, who have been vitally interested in the Crimean experiment, seek to maintain the lives p£ their Jewish brethren and to give them the opportunity to "live as Jews and to assure their future as Jws. We must no Idiiger remain supine and say that matters will adjust themselves, ^knowing full well that there is a strong element that is bent upon undermining Jewish religious life and entirely uprooting.it.) A direct appeal to the Soviet authorities, eoming from influential quarters, should have the desired result, aijd tjiis should, come, without delay and with all th.e force and backing it is n6i§sp>te to: obtain.—"Exponent."

A GENTILf^SDEFINITION OF JUDAISM Dr. S. Parses pa^m^n, who has ben answering questions on various subjects-through a syndicate of newspapers, was asked recently to give-a definition of Judaism, anjl his reply was as fpUows: ; ^ : : r ; " " - .-;•" "Judaism is,a;g?eat;and noble religion founded on fundamental faith in the qnenes§ §ndf holiness of God as the moral sovereign of the universe.,;.-It.-also believes that he chose Israel as the servant nation of ^HIs will for the race. Its primary sacred books are contained in the;Old Testament to which, together with many other things, transmits the oral law.

"It emphasizes mah'^-infinite capacity for spiritual development and therefare seeks nothing less than the1 final establishment of righteousness :and justice in the present world, It is pre-eminently the religion of-pure and lofty theism and of an ethic demahdiifgTRat "conduct is the creature which enables man to have fellowship with'his Creator.'1 .

Dr. Cadman is one of the foremost and mos^ealous Christian clergymen in the.land. He is a preacher of great power and he is, at present the^president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America which includes twenty-two millions of Protestant churcH members.

TENNIS— .

• ; : : ..• . • ; If our guese is correct there is going to be a Jewish boy tennis champion. William Jacobs is the lad in qnestion. He has seeded first in the draw for the National Boys' Single Championship in the United States and as we go to press he has won his •way into the final round.

At the same time, at Forest Hills the Junior National Singles Championship is being played.

The first seeded player, Julius Seligson, has just made the semi-final round and the odds favor the stocky Jewish boy to come thru.

As far as we can see there are only two boys who can give him any fight at all—Shields and Grant. Shields has beaten him only once and Grant never played Seligson.

Last year Seligson lost the final round to Doeg who has recently graduated into the men's division. If both Jewish boys pull through it will be the first time in history of American tennis that two members of our race have won championships in tennis the same year.
