Confronted -with an actual cash deficit of ?7,000 on its work for the year 1922, the Jewish Welfare-Federation today issued an appeal to all its subscribers to pay the balances still due on their pledges.. This deficit represents $2,650 due to the national institutions" affiliated -with the Federation,, and $4,350, -which was borrowed to finance local work during the year. This is the first time in all its history that so", great a shortage has confronted the organization, and this deficit must be liquidated if the Federation is to continue as one of the best in the country. It is on the basis of the inclusion of the national instiutions in its annual budget that the fundamental principles of Federation, rests. By sub-, sidizing these institutions direct, and preventing individual collections by them in Omaha, this community has been enabled, to give its proportionate share to every -worthy cause. Not only that, but each of the institutions included-in the IFeaeratjon budget .is

SYNAGOGUES ORDERED CLOSED IN UKRAINE
?
Moscow. (Jewish T. A.)—The liquidation of all Jewish places of worship housed in private residences, has been ordered by the government. The closing of the houses of worship will cause worshippers considerable hardship as most synagogues in Kiev and other places are now quartered in private homes. The authorities, however, are "vrillirnr to leave the economical independent "Botemedroshim" alone. The campaign against institutions is evidently not limited to synagogues. Thus a report in the "Ernes," the Yiddish communist organ, states: "The Tarbuth Gymnasium of Kiev (Hebrew high school) has been finally liquidated. It has functioned illegally ranee the revolution, and has had 130 students."
