The apprehension by the police of M. Roehling, guilty of desecrating an evangelical cetnetery, ended an anti-Jewish agitation which raged in Pomerania.

On August 17, the evangelical cemetery in Belgrade, Pomerania, was desecrated. Immediately the rumor was started that Jews had committed the act in revenge for the desecrations of a great number of Jewish cemeteries in Germany which have been going on for some time.

Roehling, a Christian, is 34 years old. He is being held for trial.

Littauer Day wil be celebrated in Gloversville, N. Y., September 28, as a tribute to Lucius N. Littauer The city will have a half holiday.
