Inquiries which were made as to

ish persecution in Roumania, and continues: =
We Israelites must fight this battle alone. We

realize this fact and we shall be encouraged to
more earnest, more decided action. The Israeites
OF Europe are creating public sentiment which

designated TO represent America in Roumania.

HERALD for it's Abyssinian, Livingstone and
Cuban expeditions, now wants the HERALD to
