              THE SENTINEL
JEWISH POPULATION IN EAST-ERN
EUROPE PREPARES
FOR PASSOVER
RIGA (J. T. A.)-Passover will be
celebrated this year in Russia, the
Ukraine and White Russia as in the
"old days," reports received here
from Soviet Russia indicate.
The Jewish communities throughout
the territory which comprised the for-mer
Russian empire are busy with
preparations for the celebration of
the holiday. Even in the Soviet. co-operative
stpres, special sales of mat-zos,
Passover wines and spirits are
being held. A feature of the Pass-over
season is the placing on the mar-ket
of a red covered Haggadah.
For the first time since the out-break
of the war, Russian Jews will
have Palestine oranges on their tables
this Passover due to a recent ship-ment
which has arrived.
The Jewish Communist press is,
as usual, publishing articles attacking
the holiday, but there is no general
anti-religious campaign. It is inter-esting
that the majority of the settlers
in the new Jewish colonies have de-manded
that they be supplied with
matzos.
WARSAW (J. T. A.)-The ap-proaching
week of Passover is felt in
every town in the Republic of Poland
where there is a Jewish community.
Life in many homes has brightened
due to the receipt of substantial
amounts of Passover money from
American relatives, according to the
custom of providing their needy breth-ren
with Passover fare.
A band of swindlers has taken ad-vantage
of the Passover season and is-sued
forged checks on American banks.
The forged checks were presented in
several Warsaw banks which have suf-fered
heavy losses as a result of this.
The checks were issued in small
amounts, all under $100 and therefore
aroused little suspicion. The checks
were made out in the name of well
known American banks which enjoy
credit in Poland. Many arrests were
made in connection with this discov-ery
of the plot in Warsaw, Vilna and
Bialystok. Twenty of the arrested
were sentenced to imprisonment. More
arrests are expected.
ANOTHER HERBERT SAMUEL
CANDIDATE WINS
LONDON (S: A.)-Mr. B. Straus,
a Jew, who was running on the Lib-eral
ticket in the Southwick district
of London, has been elected to the
House of Parliament. Mr. Straus'
election is the second victory of the
Liberal party of England since Sir
Herbert Samuel undertook to reorgan-ize
the party.
P 0 L I S H GOVERNMENT SEEKS
OPINIONS ON SUNDAY
REST LAW
WARSAW (J. T. A.)-Steps to
ascertain the opinion of Polish Jewry
as to the workings of the compulsory
Sunday Rest Law were taken by the
Polish Ministry of the Interior.
The Ministry called a conference of
Jewish social and communal workers
to obtain their opinion with regard to
the advisability of changing the law.
Deputies Wislicki, Trockenheim and
Hartglass, speaking in behalf of the
Jewish Merchants' Association, ex-pressed
the opinion that the law be
amended to the effect that a five-hour
period of business be allowed to Jew-ish
merchants on Sunday. Mr. Lew
of the Poale Zion and Mr. Alter of
the Bund demanded that the working
class be given the opportunity of free
choice between Saturday and Sunday
rest. One delegate, Okrant, an ex-treme
Left, expressed satisfaction with
the status quo. Delegate Ratner,
speaking in behalf of the artisans, de-manded
that the artisans have the
freedom of working the entire day
Sunday.
The conference will last some time,
it was stated, as many organizations
were called to express their opinions.
All representatives of Polish Chris-tian
organizations spoke against
changing the law.
GEN. LUDENDORFF'S WIFE JOINS
ANTI-SEMITES
BERLIN (S. A.)-Gen. Ludendorff,
formerly of the German Imperial
Army, is a notorious anti-Semite. He
recently married again, and it seems
that his wife holds Ludendorff's ideas
on the Jews. Last week she was chief
speaker at an anti-Jewish demonstra-tion.
Had the speech been delivered
in Russia during the days of the
czar, it would have been considered
an address directly intended to stir up
pogrom sentiment. Mme. Luden-dorf's
participation in the anti-Semitic
assembly has caused anxiety among
Berlin Jews, inasmuch as she is a
noted orator.
JEW APPOINTED SOVIET COM-MERCIAL
REPRESENTATIVE
IN LONDON
RIGA (J. T. A.)-M. Chintschuk
was appointed commercial representa-tive
of the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics in London, a despatch from
Moscow states.
Klara Zelkin, chairman of the Mopr,
an organization to aid the class war
prisoners and workmen who have lost
their positions because of political per-secutions,
was appointed chairman of
the Central Council of the Russian
Co-operatives.
