A new Jewish sect has been established on the eastern border of Poland, near Vilna, with headquarters at Kucewicze, its adher## pumbering, it is said, about 15,000, states a Reuter report from Warsaw appearing here today in the “Daily Telegraph.”

It has been decided, the report further says, to form a Jewish Church, recognizing the divinity of Jesus and also to study the New Testament, adhering, however, to the general rabbinical regulations. The recent development of this and other sects, the report adds, is an entirely new feature in Poland, where until lately any movement of this kind has always been extremely insignificant.
