administration is according the Jews.
"hundred per cent" Americans that
"Red" is not a Jewish color. Among
the 249 deported there are only 13
Jewish names and it may be expected
that in the next groups to be sent out
the percent will be still less. However
the English press stuck to its old stand
by that where there are "Reds"
there are Jews and those papers
which printed photograph.1) of the de-
portees presented none except photo-
graphs of Jews so that the general
impression was that this war nothing
more than a Jewish affair.

by the government against those who
are seeking to disturb order in Amer-
ica and it must also rpe to it that
immigrants from other lands who un-
dego religious or race persecution and
pogroms shall be freely admitted into
America.
NEW POGROM OUTBREAKS IN
HUNGARY.
Paris: (By L J. P. B.) The Jewish
Delegation here has received a report
of a aeries of new pogrom outbreaks
in Hungary culminating in a fright-
ful attack upon the Jewish population
of Keskement in which 22 Jews were
killed and M have disappeared. There
seems to be no doubt but that these
also were also killed but up to the
present their bodies have not been
found.
The pogrom in Keskement was
carried through by an armed band of
O'ldiers with Lieutenant Hejes com-
mandant of the town at the head. The
same band stopped a train dragged
out all the Jewish passengers and
fired shots at them.
These attacks art the outcome of the
continual anti-Semitic agitation which
has been conducted In all parts of
Hungary ever since the ousting of
Bela Kun. The Jews have been charg-
ed with being responsible for all the
. misfortunes which have befallen the

The Ukrainian federation appears
not to have been born under the luck-
iest of stars. It seems that before the
Federation overcomes one difficulty a
second obstacle has arisen and it is
hard to rpy whether bad luck or bad
administration ought to be blamed.
In the first place there was the
trouble with the Joint Distribution
Committee which was not willing to
approve all the commissioners which
the Federation had nominated. Lucki-

commissioners who happened to be in
Washington the Federation secured
passports for two commisjjioners. The
Federation took to advertising this
great triumph far and wide and to
making use of it for propaganda pur-
poses. Some money was provided for
the expenses of the commission when
along came the irate Secretary of
State Lansing and informed the Jew-
ish deputation that no commission
may now be sent to the Ukraine. He
gave as res on the statement that the
American government cannot guaran-
tee the safety of the commission.
Now it is learned that a small com-
mittee has been formed of prominent
Ukrainians who are dissatisfied with
the entire management of the Feder-
ation and which is demanding that
the Federation call a conference of all
the Jewish organizations in New York
in order to re-organize the adminis-
tration of the Federation.
The truth of the matter is that such
a step would be advisable and timely
because the public ii already begin-
ning to wonder a little how it hap-
pens that such prominent Ukrainian
Jews as Colonel Harry Cutler Joseph
Barondess Dr. A. Karolynk and oth-
ers are so aloof from the Federation.
It is to be hoped that the conven-
tion will be railed forthwith in view
of the incontestible importance at the
present moment of a Federation of
Ukrainian Jews. Such a Federation
must however have the confidence of
all Ukrainian organizations and in-
stitutions and its administration tnu
be determined by the most prominent
Ukrainian Jews.
The new daily paper "Die Zeit"
which the Poale-Zionists are prepar-
ing to issue has already secured an
editor in the person of the well-known
Jewish writer David PinskL It is not
altogether clear whether Pinski alone
will edit the paper or whether it will
be in the hands of an editorial board
of three. If t!iia latter plan should be
adopted probably Dr. IL ZhitiowrtM
and B. Zuckerman will be the two col
leagues to serve with David riujifc"
Unless theshprtsfc of news-print

hope tolasue their first number on
February 29th. For the present the
lack of psper ia the only obstacle. The
other new daily "IIaint" which ia
scheduled to appear Thursday Janu-
ary 1st h also facing the same difficulty.
