(AP) The royal mall steamship Aoracgl salted for the Antipodes today, carrying 100 German Jews from their old homes In Germany to a new land of pro mise Australia. The refugeea posed willingly for photographs, but declined to give their names. "We have got away from the terror f Germany, but we fear for our friends and relatives left behind," me spokesman for the group told interviewers. Most of the group from babec la arma to white-haired grandfathers and grandmothers smiled broadly as they were welcomed almost bois terously by members of Vancouver's Jewleh colony. Some Tears But there were occasional tears at the welcome, too. "You look well, but how much you have lost," one Vancouver woman said quietly to a mother whose child clung tightly to a frayed black skirt. A single tear rolled down the mother's pale cheek as she nodded sadly In silence. , . In Australia the refugees will be reunited with other members of their families who are permanent residents of the commonwealth. "Australia has agreed to accept one blood -relation of each of her own Jews," an elderly lawyer said. . Most of the men In the party were professional men, doctors, lawyers, mechanics. Ilave Little Money ' "But we don't know what we'll do In our new land," another man said. "Some of us may find work In our professions, though It seems likely now most will have to start new farms.

On the baker's back were two pa per sacks, one containing packages of food, another rolled-up clothing. "It's nil we have besides a few dol lars," the man said, "but we're not worried. We'll find something to do and our friends In Australia won't . let us starve." He smiled wanly. "Even If we do, It won't be much worse." .Klndnrss Appreciated A dexk-eyed young woman , Vienna music teacher, put In words the feelings she said all members of the party felt: . "We do not know how to nay how much we appreciate the kindness that has been shown us since we left Oermany. "It Is a great sense of relief and freedom to find ourselves among friends we go to make a new life, to start all over again in a land we do not know." Many spoke English, but a few knew only Oerman. One elderly man sat In the railway depot with his white-haired wife. Children of the party scurried around them, several girls with braided balr down their small backs, one boy wearing a Scottish tartan scarf around his neck, happy In ap parent Ignorance of the troubles of their respective parents. . The man reached out to pat his wife's arm as tears began to stream down her face. "We are going to a new land and we are alone," he said through sn Interpreter. "We know no English to help us."
