Taking her cue from the acquittal

desperation and I could no longer re-
sist.”
Anna was not detained, but prob-
ably will be arrested today to face
trial for murder. The decision in
the Uminska case arousetj a storm
of protest.

Warsaw, Poland, Feb. 17.—The
Jews in Poland have been handed an-
other one in the eye by a rerent
governmental decree.
In Poland, as in most other Euro-
pean countries, the sale of tobacco,
liquors and salt are state monopolies.
Throughout the country the Jews for
centuries have been licensed to sell
ttfese articles. Now, by a parliamen-
tary resolution, the sale of these
monopoly goods is to be reserved to
war invalids, widows and orphans of
soldiers who fought for their coun-
try.
During the World Wgr many Jews
fought side by side with their Polish
national compatriots; but, for tiie
greater part, they were pacifists. Ac-
cording^to the Jewish newspapers,
even those .Jews who are war-victims
are being discriminated against in the
granting of licenses to sell under the
new regulation.
If the decree is carried out, how-
ever, at least forty thousand Jewish
families will be compelled to find
otiier means of obtaining a living.
