JEWISH CHURCH IN
POLAND RECOGNIZED
Given Legal Status as Religious
Organization by Teuton
Order.
MANIFESTO'S PROVISIONS
Berlin. Nov. 18. (By Wireless to
Sayville.) General von Bcseler, governor-general
of Russian Poland, has
issued an order at Warsaw in regard
to the organization of a Jewish re
ligious body in Poland, by which self
government is given to the Polish
Jews.
"Under Russian rule the Jews in
Poland, as in all Russia, lived almost
without a religious organization,"
says the Overseas News agency, in
describing the new order. The hostil
ity of the Russian authorities against
the Jews found expression in well
known laws and in uninterrupted per
secutions and oppression of the Jew
ish community, as well as in the fact
that a religious body to which 14 per
cent of the population of Poland be
longs was deprived of all uniform or
ganizations. Only the formation of
organizations of isolated parishes was
allowed, and the union of parishes into
a larger organization was forbid
den, says the news agency.
The Present Order.
"By the present order of the governor-general,
the members of the
Jewish church are reorganized as a
religious body, according to public
right. Local Jewish communities in
the counties, according to the new
order, are united to county organiza
tions. The heads of these county or
ganizations are administrative coun
cils, which are made up from the
boards of the smaller communities
and selected according to the princi
ples of proportional representation.
"The administrative council will be
composed of eleven members, of whom
three must be rabbis. At the head ot
the Jewish religious body will be a
supreme Jewish council, provisionally
composed according to proportional
representation. The supreme council,
according to the order, has twenty
one members, of whom fourteen mus'.
be laymen and seven rabbis.
Managed by Board.
The local communities will be ad
ministered through a board elected by
the citizens of the Jewish parish under
majority rule. This board will have
four members in addition to the rab
bis. For the largest local communi
ties a special organization has been
provided. This will be under the rule
of an assembly of parish delegates,
which will have parliamentary func
tions, and of an administrative council,
which will have administrative func
tions. The' election of parish dele
gates will be according to the propor
tional system and in two sections.
Each section will elect the same num
ber of delegates. Peoples without a
school education, those who have at
tended a special trade or agricultural
school, and Jewish citizens, who, on
account of their knowledge of Jewish
literature, have received the title of
rabbi, will vote in the first section. All
other classes will vote in the second
section. The parish delegates also will
have a part in the administrative
council.
Allowed to Organize.
"The formation of associations for
divine service will be allowed in every
community. Thus a guarantee is
given that no religious tendency can
be suppressed by the majority. To the
community will be entrusted the re
ligious life and education of the young,
charity and social work. The local
communities, the county communities
and the general religious body, as
represented by the supreme council,
will have the right to levy taxes and
will possess the privileges of incor
porated public corporations."
The order also contains detailed
regulations concerning the rabbis.
"The Jews in Poland,' by this order,
receive a constitution superior to the
majority of the antiquated constitu
tions of other European countries.
There is no doubt that this constitu
tion will prove beneficial to the Jews
in Poland: Of extremely valuable im
portance is the possibility of uniform
superintendence through a supreme
council The constitution attempts the
creation of religious life, based on
freedom of conscience. Although there
are differences of opinion among
the Jews, nevertheless the new order
should bring unity in place of the
present lack or organization.
Task of Council.
"The task of the supreme council
will be, above all, the reform of the
institution of rabbi, through provid
ing good conditions. Similar in in
tent also is the proposed promotion
of a Jewish school system, especially
by the construction of special schools
in which the leading .Jews of Poland
can press on bravely toward a better
future. The Russian plutocra.ic elec
toral system in certain communities
is abolished and the electoral rights
of large communities are recognized.
"Jewish circles in Poland receive
the new order enthusiastically. All
parties among the Jews consider it
very important that the Jewish com
munity now is regarded as a religions
body, according to public right, ami
that the possibility now exists toward
the different departments of Jewish
life, through the means of well-conducted
self-governing bodies. The war
has brought unspeakable misery to the
eastern Jews, but on the other hand,
it has brought this new constitution,
which is of the highest importance to
their future."
Chihuahua City to
"Hunt Down" Villa
El Paso, Tex.. Nov. 18. Late this
afternoon an official statement from
Chihuahua City reached the border.
conveying General Irevinos an
nouncement that he himself was tak
ing the field against Villa and the
vanguard of his troops had gone to
banta Kosalia, which is to be the base
of operations. General Gonzales
Cue liar will take charge in the C hi
huahua capital it was announced.
General Trevino's announcement
that he would take the field against
Villa in person at the head of his
division, caused much surprise and
considerable alarm here among Amer
icans and Mexicans who have in
terests in Chihuahua City. They say
the departure of General Trevino and
his forces from Chihuahua City leav
ing only a small force to defend the
city, is practically an evacuation of
the state capital.

Little Change in California.
Sacramenta. Cal., Nov. 18. Thirty
three California counties out of fifty
eight have filed their election returns
today with Secretary of State Frank
C. Jordan, for final and official can
vass. A staff of twenty-five experts
are at work on the returns and have
completed the count of six of the
smaller counties. The work, accord
ing to. law, must be finished on Mon
day", November 27. Plans announced
early today for continuing the count
night and day were abandoned tem
porarily tonight, when it was found
impossible to secure enough skilled
workers to handle the returns. No
important discrepancies have been dis
covered in the counties thus far com
pleted. Indian Reservation
In Alaska Is Now,
Forest Reserve
(Correapondence of The Aaaoetated' Preev.1
Washington, Nov. 12. The old
Kassan national monument, consist
ing of thirty-eight acres within the
Tongass national forest, Alaska, has
been created by presidential procla
mation as a result of recommenda
tions made by the secretary of agri
culture. The tract embraces the
abandoned Haida Indian village of
Old Kassan, situated on Prince of
Wales island, in southeastern Alaska,
about thirty miles west of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about fifty Indian totem poles, five or
six of which are classed as exceeding
ly good specimens. In the deserted
village, there are also eight large
square buildings which were original
ly constructed according to the pe
culiar plan of the Haida Indians, and
which, it is stated by those best qual
ified know, represent the best spec
imens of Haida architecture that now
exist. The largest of these buildings
is approximately forty by sixty feet
in size and is made entirely of round
and carved timbers. There also re
main a number of Indian graves, with
the typical small grave house! erected
by the Alaskan Indians.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into a state of delapi
dation and decay, and a certain
amount of vandalism by tourists and
souvenir hunters renders some form
of protection essential. An examina
tion of the area was made jointly by
representatives of the forest service
and of the Interior department, and
reports strongly urging the establish
ment of a national monument were
approved by the secretaries of both
departments. The Smithsonian insti
tution strongly endorsed the propo
sition for the establishment of a na
tional monument. The new national
monument will be protected and ad
ministered by the forest service, as
is 'the case with all monuments lo
cated within the national forests.
Evade the Law by Putting
Fish Into the Butter
(Correapondence of Tbe Aaaoetated Prom.).
Berlin, Nov. 10. The authorities
have discovered a clever, though sim
ple, method of getting around maxi
mum prices for butter and the general
prohibition of selling it in more than
quarter pound lots. It consists of
"buttered herring," consisting of one
very small, thin herring, encased in
about a pound of butter, which has
been selling on the Berlin market for
some 9 marks a pound.
Before the authorities discovered
the ruse dealers who had managed to
get both fish and butter from Den
mark and elsewhere had succeeded
in disposing of hundreds of pounds.
Many customers bought in twenty,
fifty and 100-pound lots, gladly pay
ing the extraordinary price or any
price for the chance .to get butter
again, even though most of them
threw away the tiny fish, and with it
lost some little of the butter that
clung to its skinny sides.

Devereaux, Frank Ellis, Cobtirn Has

Council Bluffs
ALDERMEN MEET-THE
LIGHT COMPANY M
Trying to Fine Cause of Delay
in the Matter of Making
New Contract.
THREE SYSTEMS PROPOSED
Chairman Williams of the fire and
light committee of the city council,
and Aldermen Olson and (lawson
held a conference yesterday afternoon
with Manager English and Charles
Hansen of the Citizens' Gas and Elec
tric Light company.
The conference was brought about
by the comment being made upon the
delay in making the new contract,
which, since the elimination of the
royally, is costing the city heavily for
street lighting and preventing the pri
vate consumers getting the 25 per cent
reduction provided for by the pro
posed new contract.
The delay is not attributable to the
members of the council. A majority
of them have favored the acceptance
of the contract offered by Manager
English, and the fire and light com
mittee has been ready to unanimously
recommend it. The delay has been
due entirely to a desire to change the
lighting system and substitute 400
candle power iucandesccnts strung on
pedestals 100 feet apart on both sides
of the streets for the present 5,000
candle power flaming arcs in the busi
ness section of the city. This would
cost nearly $5,000 more than the tax
levy, now up to its limit, will bring in,
and to make such a thing possible the
council has been urged by the Cham
ber of Commerce committee to dis
continue all of the flaming arcs on
Broadway west of the Illinois Central
railroad and at the south end of Mam
street and put little 400-candle power
incandescents in their place, thereby
saving one-half the cost of the big
arcs.
Installs Three Lights.
To show just what would be the re
sult of this change. Manager English
installed three of the 400-candle power
lights on West Broadway without dis
turbing the flaming arcs. The lights
were then alternately turned on and
off.
The test was made Thursday night
in the presence of members of the
council and Chairman Wallace and
members of his committee, while sev
eral hundred interested West Enders
looked on. The contrast between the
large and small lights was so great
that all agreed the experiment could
not be tried. The test was discussed
at the committee meeting yesterday
afternoon and the decision reached
that the change would not be made.
It was the sentiment of the light
committee that there should be no
more delay in accepting the contract
submitted by Manager English. It
will save the city nearly $2,000 an
nually on the street lighting bill and
save the small consumer 25 per cent
of the amount of his monthly bill if
his bill ranges even between 50 cents
and $2 a month. This is the first con
tract ever offered the city where the
greatest benefit reaches the small con
sumer. The tax levy for the street lighting
fund produces about $21,000 a year
and expenditures cannot go beyond
that without somebody getting in jail.
Three propositions were submitted
yesterday afternoon, the first contin
uing the present lighting system, in
creasing the number of lights, but

BELGIANS DEPORTED
BY THETHOUSANDS
In Many Places AU Males Over
17 Snmmoned to Appear
Before Authorities,
WOMEN STORM THE TRAINS
Th Hague (Via London), Nov. 18.
Tie number of Belgians deported
by fhe Germans up to date, according
to information given the Associated
Press today from a reliable source, :
apparently is between 30,000 and
JflOm and tligiv , heiner rlnnrfert
at the rate of about 2,000 daily.
Antwerp, it was said, has been com
manded to furnish 27,000, which prob-1
ably is not more than 10 per cent of
its able-bodied population, but the
commune of Lessines has lost more
than 7.000, representing virtually ev
ery able-bodied man, excepting offi
cials. !
People Terrorued.
The entire Belgian population, the
narrator said, is terrorized because
the people realize they are entirely
helpless. Crowds of hysterical worn
en and children gather at the railway
and recruiting stations, and many
women at Jamappes threw themselves
on the rails to prevent the departure
of a train of emigrants and had to be
forcihly removed by German soldiers.
The men are frequently loaded into
cattle cars and spend one or two days
on the journey. They are strongly
determined to refuse to work, believ
ing: that if thev are not employed in
military works, they will be compelled
to replace Germans and be forced to
work directly or indirectly against
the Belgian army and its allies. The
deported men, in trains passing
through Liege, are declared to have
been heard singing the Marseillaise
and other patriotic airs.
Tied to Posta.
The newspaper reports a case hear
Vallenciencs of sixty Frenchmen, who,
impressed by the Germans, refused to
work and are declared to have been
tied to posts for forty-eight hours
until half of them fainted from hard
ships and hunger.
Many prominent Belgians tire rer
ported not to have hesitated to risk
their liberty by the strongest of pro
tests to the German authoritiel against
tne deportations. Various official
bodies have drafted resolutions of pro
test and the senators and deputies of
Antwerp and Hainault provinces have
taken especially strong action in the
premises and are said to be daily ex
pecting deportation.
Neutrals in Belgium, especially the
ministers, are receiving many appeals
to try and induce their governments
to intervene. The newspaper La Libre
Bclgique, which has maintained a wide
circulation throughout Belgium for
more than a year, despite the efforts
of the Germans to discover its authors
and suppress the sheet, has published
a special number containing an appeal
iu itic neutral nations, . ,
Must Brin( Book.
The officers deputed for the enroll
ment of the workmen are said to pay
visits to various towns and order the
assembly at the railway stations of
virtually all males, under heavy penal
ties for refusal to comply. The word
ing of the notices varies in the differ
ent sections of Belgium and northern
France. One notice posted in north
ern France gives assurance! that the
men will not be employed under con
tinuous fire. The Antwerp order noti
fies students to bring their books and
musicians their instruments. The au
thorities promise the men good wages
and liberty to remit money from Ger
many to their families in Belgium. All
of them are offered an opportunity to
sign a voluntary agreement to work.
They are informed, it waa stated, that
if they refnse to lign they will ba
treated worse, but virtually all refuse
to do so. '
Unfit Eliminated.
Wherever the males assemble for
deportation doctors examine them and
the physically unfit are eliminated, to
gether with municipal and relief offi
cials. Those without regular employ
ment are the first selected for deporta
tion. The principal object of the deporta
tions, it was said, appears to be to se
cure skilled workers. Men regularly
employed have been enrolled from
several communes. A large nnmber
was taken at Jamappes from factories
which were running and were self
supporting, and, bank employes were
impressed at Mons.
Despite the statements credited to
German officers that the deported
men will not be employed in military
work, the Belgians are declared to
fear the contrary, as it has been re
ported that large bodies of men have
been taken to northern France and
employed in cutting timbers for
trenches and that others in northern
Belgium have been forced to dig
trenches.
Want 300,000.
London, Nov. 17. Thirty thousand
Belgians already have been deported
to Germany, according to information
received here through official chan
nels. Reports from the same source
say the Germans plan to take some
300,000, judged from the order issued
in a number of cities for all males
over 17 to report for inspection.
The municipal council of Tournai
has formally declined to accede to
the German demands, the reports say,
protesting that hitherto it had
acquiesced to all German orders.
General Hopffer thereupon imposed
a fine of 200,000 marks, it is added,
for the refusal of the council to fur
nish a list of male inhabitants, with
a further fine of 20,000 marks daily
as long as the council refused to give
the list.
All Over 17, Summoned.
A circumstantial report from the
Mons district says that the en
tire male population over 17, was
summoned to report at German head
quarters at 8 o'clock on the morning
of October 26. The priests, profes
sors, teachers local officials, members
of the food committee, and the physi
cally defective were dismissed, but,
it is added, 1,200 men, composing
20 per cent of the eligible males,
both employed and unemployed, were
selected and immediatley placed on
cattle trucks and started for Germany.
Being ignorant of the purpose of the
summons, the men had assembled
without clothing for traveling and
uMthrtiit frtrtrl and rlariva mhn her.
ried to the station with food and
clothing were refused access to the
men, the reports add.
