"" Chodesh also observed the prev Foreign News Jerusalem.—A total of 228 Jews, 115 Christians, including thirty-three British police, and ten Moslems, entered Pales tine in November, according to figures released by the immigration office. In the same period eighty-six Jews, forty- six Christians, and forty Moslems left. Thirty-one prospective immigrants were barred. * * * Prague.—An eccentric vagrant who was known to the roads as Karl Hans Heine and was found frozen to death in a way- side ditch at Wittingau, South Bohemia, was discovered to he a nephew of Hein rich Heine, the great German poet. Karl Hans Heine had spent many years of his life as a wanderer, begging his way as he tramped the roads. * * * Paris.—New light on the famous Drey fus case is expected to he shed as a re sult of word received here by the League for Human Rights that the Soviet gov ernment has opened the Czarist archives for the League’s researchers who have been studying all the documents in the case. * * * Montreal.—For the first time in its history, Pi Lambda Phi, a non-sectarian fraternity, but in practice about 90 per cent Jewish in membership, has elected a Catholic as its head. J. B. Van Veen, a Catholic attorney from New York City, was elected supreme rex of the organi zation at the conclusion of its annual convention here. This manifestation of intercreedal amity is believed to have been prompted by the fact that the convention was held in the preponderantly Catholic city of Montreal which tendered the fraternity a civic ban quet. Other officers elected were Robert M. Lintz, of New r York, supreme master; Robert H. Rosenthal, of New York, su preme keeper of the archives, and Philip Luskin, of New York, supreme keeper of the exchequer. * * * London.—More than 5,(XX) participated in the memorial services for Lord Mel- chett. Dr. Chaim Weizmann presided. “The Jewish people the world over have been deeply stirred,’’ he declared, “by the tragedy of Lord Melchett’s death at a time when the Zionist movement is undergoing such a severe ordeal.” Among the other speakers wlvj paid tribute to Lord Melchett’s memory were Sir Hugo Hirst, president of the Gen eral Electric Conq>any; Major Harry Ix>uis Nathan, M. P.; Sir Robert Waley Cohen, Dr. M. D. Eder, Sir Herbert Samuel, and the Honorable James H. Thomas, who recalled many incidents in which Lord Melchett displayed his eager ness to serve the Zionist movement. Mes sages were receivd from Baron Edmond Rothschild, the Right Honorable Sir Austen Chamberlain, Lord Allenby, Lord Plumer, the French Labor leader, Leon Blum, Senator Gugliemi Marconi, Sir Norman Angell, and many other promi nent personages. A message was received from Felix M. Warburg, of New York, prominent phi lanthropist and Jewish leader, which said: “My personal loss which T suffered by the death of Lord Melchett, with whom I was privileged to work, is overshadowed by the greater loss which the cause of upbuilding Palestine suffered.” * * * Paris.—Great anxiety is being mani fested in Jewish circles because of the proposed new restrictions introduced by radical members of the government and designed to lessen unemployment, which may compel many Jews to leave Erance. The restrictions which will probably Ik* adopted recommend that no labor permits be issued to immigrants who have re sided in I’'ranee for less* than five years; that no change in profession be permitted those who already jxissess labor permits; that the French borders be closed alto gether to all except tourists, and that all irregularly admitted and illegal residents of France be expelled. Passage of these rulings would make further Jewish immigration impossible. At present about 1,(MX) Jews from Poland enter France weekly. Many Jews now in France would be forced to leave, being unable to obtain work permits. The in troduction of these restrictions by the radical members is a blow to the Jews as in the past the former have usually been friendly to foreigners and influen tial with the government. * ♦ * Jerusalem.—The upper class Jews of Persia are rapidly embracing the Bahai religion, and the Jewish communities are disintegrating, according to Dr. W. Fishel, lecturer in the Oriental Institute of the Hebrew University, who has just re turned from a trip to Persia, Iraq, and Kurdistan. Dr. Fishel stated that English and American Christian missions are making the most of the disintegration of Jewish communities, establishing missions and schools among the poorer classes as the community leaders turn to Bahaism. “The Persian Jews are not only being con verted, but are being used as instruments for converting Jews of neighboring coun tries,” say9 Doctor Fishel. He spoke of a “Marrano” community of 5,(XX) families in Meshed, who se cretly continued to practice their Judaism, and supported Jewish schools. In many cities, he said, Jews had openly applied to missions to establish schools for their children, as they found the establish ments of the Alliance Israelite and of the Anglo-Jewish Association inadequate.
