The whole district of Storozynetz is breathing freely again now that the Prime Minister, Professor Jorga, has gone, the local papers write, because his resignation has brought with in the withdrawal of his son-in-law, Major Chirescu, the Prefect of the Storozynetz district.
The Prefect had made himself highly unpopular among the population by his arbitrary activities, among which was the order for the eviction of the Jews living in the refugee barracks at ###iznitz, in the Storozynetz district.
The press states that when the news of his withdrawal spread in Storozynetz, people embraced in the streets and congratulated each other, as if it were a great festival.
The Czernowitz “#orgenlatt” comments that the people of Storozynetz ought really to be grateful to the ex-Prefect, because they had no cause to be happy when he came, and they certainly had no cause to be happy while he was there, but now that he has gone, they are all a happy lot of people.
