A Remarkable Change
Since the moment when the contract was let, a reriiarkablc change has come over the entire- congregation. .: The project at the present time'has the full support of the entire membership. Prominent Jews, not identified with the Tifereth Israel Congregation, have also expressed their confidence in the success of the undertaking and have promised to do their share in putting it across.
It has been repeatedly pointe<l out in .these columns that a synagog operated on modern, conservative lines will fill a long feh need in this city. Stress has been laid on the fact that the new Tifereth iHraef Tempile will provide every facility for the spiritual, cultural, and .social welfare of the Jews ofthe East End,' It is fhehopc of the, officers and members bf the Temple.that its new Home will become a vital, dynamic and inspirational .center—radiating a virile, Jewish spirit throughout the community. The location is one of the most ideal" in the city. . The lot has a ninety foot frontage on East Broad street and is 315 feet deep; the building site stands'about ten. feet higher, than the sidewiilk.
, ATemporary Place "
: The old. mansion, whicli at one. time stood on the site of the proposed structure,'^has, been moved to the rear of the-lot. During the past year it has been used as a teniporary place of wor¬ ship and as an assembly room, as well as fori religious school purposes, ,,..', It took months of planning, studying .and figuring before the present, com¬ plete set of blue prims,'plans and speci¬ fications were 'submitted by the Building Conimittee to the officers and members of tlie Teniple.' .The plans have received the unanimous approval of the entire membership. They call for an edifice'to be COxlOS feet with a seating capacity of 900; in the main auditorium. The structure will ' be built of Be<lfbrd oolitic limestone and besides the main auditorium will have a basement that will

Practically one-third of .the amount required for the construction of the new "Bhule" has already been subscribed; by ptiblic-spirited and enthusiastic members; "The officers are confident that the fPrth- coming; campaign for the raising of ad- ditionalfunds will bring sufficient rev- eliue to cover in full the entire expense, so. that the building committee \yiI' 1^^- in a position to turn .the building over to the Congregation free and clear of all encumbrances. . .

CZERNQWitZ -^ Measures were taken by the military authorities of Bu¬ kowina against anti-Semitic attacks, as a result of representations made by Deputy A. Ebner.
Attacks against Jews have been oc¬ curring in various Bukowinian villages during the last few daiys. Military guards were stationed in the various towns in order to prevent further ex¬ cesses. ^
NEW :YQRK-^ Breaking its long silence,, thc Joint Distribution Commit¬ tee has issued a formal aiid cpinpreiien- sive reply .to the attacks that have been made upon tlie ,$25,000,000 United Jewish Campaign by a number of Zionists dur¬ ing the past year.
This statement is a rejoinder to speeches made at. thc recent convention in Buffalo of the Zionist Organization of America, and resolutions there adopted charging the Russian agricul¬ tural work of the Joint Distribution Committee as being, pur forward as a rival to Palestine, and that it has been made a rallying point for the non- Zionists arid anti-Zionists. The state¬ ment categorically charges attempts to sabotage and wreck the United Jewisli Campaign. It reaffirms the determinaT tion of .the Joint Distribution Commit¬ tee 1(> continue aiding Palestine, pointing out that 'while the campaign was being attacked, part of the funds it raised were being used, arid is now being used for reconstructive and relief work in Palestine.

tion this Committee has been actuated by the sole thought of bringing aid and comfort and constructive, relief to all Jews, Avherever they may live, who re-r' quire the sympathy of Jewish hearts and the help of Jewish bands. It has sought to'foster the spirit of unity and brother¬ hood, arid it fondly' believes that it has succeeded in that endeavor. Strife and controversy in the face of a great dis¬ aster, have been regarded by it as sin¬ ful. Its great objective ha? been t^ cul¬ tivate peace and harmony. It indulges In the. conviction that the great body of American Jewry recognizes the disinter¬ estedness and the unselfishness of its en¬ deavors. The manifestation of confidence shown by the impressive response made to its recent call, is a source of infinite gratification, and serves as an eloquent answer to the coptintious and vicious at¬ tacks that have been made .during the pastyear upon its activities by a group which is-temporarily in control of the Zionist Organization of Anjerica, which has just held ia convention at Buffalo,
