EIGHTEEN years after the

Inst shot was fired on the Western Front the bodies of nearly 900 British soldiers were found last year in the battle- fields of France and Belgium.

This is revealed in the seventeenth annual report of the Imperial War Graves Commission.

Of the 1,101,000 British soldiers killed 687,117 have been idenuded and buried in war cemeteries. A further 180,001 have been found but are unidentified, so there are still 330,000 classified as "missing"

There are 360,000 graves In France and Belgium alone.

Last year 821 bodies were found and reburied in France and 93 in Belglum. Identification was possible in only

Slanders Refuted

New York, Mar. 25.

A Sensational defence of Jews, and a plea for world tolerance for the race, have been made by Mr. Lloyd George.

"The malarial insect whose poison infects healthy creatures with the fever of Jew hatred is buzzing in our cars to-day with the same vicious hum and deadly poison as ever it did in the days of Torquemada," he says in an article published in the American magazine "Liberty."

With scathing frony Mr. Lloyd George contrasts the treatment of Jews in Christian and Moslem countries.

"Their oppression comes mainly if not entirely from nations who worship a Jewish prophet and who accept his great saying: 'Salvation li of the Jews" ... and yet these nations have all, in fum, persecuted the people from whom these great spiritual ' gifta emanated.

"What can be the explanation of the special and secular hatred conceived for the Jew among European peoples? Religious bigotry is responsible for some of the most brutal attacks made on the Jew in European countries.

"But the root of the trouble is to be found in the determination of the Jews throughout the centuries not to lose their identity as a separate and distinct people.

"They seem to insist on preserving their individuality as an Oriental nation

The Jew is just as much

a Hebrew to-day in his sentiment, pride, and racial loyalties as when he was driven from Palestine,

"Jews refuse to be good mixers. This isolationism has been at the bottom of many a pogrom." Paying tribute to the Jews of the Empire, Mr. Lloyd George continues: calumny which Imputes

In fact, Miss Huang, newly-appointed third secretary of the "For generations they have en-Chinese Embassy in London, has found that there is very little joyed full rights of citizenship in the difference betwen her own country and this, so far as women are British Empire and they have re- concerned. quited this treatment by loyalty und patriotism.

"The Jews produced_the_most sublime literature that has ever been issued from the pen of man. They founded n religion which finally con quered their conquerors, and to-day this faith is accepted by the most powerful nations on earth."

During the same period French official search parties found and reJew buried in ons Department alone Pas-de-Calais-the bodies of 705 French and 810 German soldiers.

A month later he was taken from hls

Then comes a final slash at the

batters.

"The critics of Judah forget that the Jew in the past endured more in countries like Russia, Germany, and even Britain (before the anti- sweating legislation was introduced) from social inequalities and industrial bondage than any other race."

Mr. Lloyd George emphasises the Jews' claim to be the chosen people of Delty.

Senator Wagner prepared to in- troduce the anti-lynching legislation in the senate and said "Its passage at

of congress assured."

Wagner challenged "constitutional objections" that federal Intervention would violate state rights. "Let those who raise these objections're- member that our constitution not only sets up district federal and stale powers," he said, "but guara- tees that all shall have the right to a Fair

trial and not be summarily nut | to death,'

Chairman Hation W. Summers, D., Tex., of the house judiclary com- mitice said he is opposed to the federal anti-lynching laws "because

I

am opposed to lynching." He charged that "federal intrusion into a governmental problem of the states" would halt progress being made by the communities in stamping out mob violence.

GROWING BETTER

Rep. Arthur W. Mitchell; D., Ill., the only Negro member of congress, asserted that alates fighting passage. of a federal law are doing nothing themselves to stamp out lynching." He conceded that conditions are "gradually growing better," but sald that federal action is necessary to eliminate the evil.

The only alternative, he said, is for all states to follow the example of Virginia which passed a law 10 years ago making lynching on offence against the state es, a whole and empowering the governor to use all the state's resources in convicting guilty parties. Virginia has had no lynching since the law went

.inta effect.

Summers charged that the associa tton's reports on the, number of lynchings each year "are not depend- able."

He cited the Tuskegee Insti- tute, famous Negro school in Ala- bama, as authority for his statement that only nine persons were lynched in 1930 in contrast to the association's report of 15, ****
