2,100 Jewish children enrolled in the Yiddishist schools of the Zisho Organisation, with 120 teachers and 500 parents, marched through the streets of Warsaw to-day, carrying 20 banners demanding Government subsidies for the Yiddishist schools, with slogans calling for education in the mother tongue of the children. Demends were also made for Government subsidies to supply meals to the children in the schools.

Mr. Zerubavel, the leader of the Left Poale Zion, and other speakers addressed the demonstration.
