Chicago, Feb. 20. Russia will look on

Time and again." continued the
baron, did President Kruger appeal to
Russia for sympathy and help against

developed In the United States great

The wave Of patriotism sweeping over

held In synagogue here. Rabbi ORA
bin made a fervent address TO a large
congregation which included Baron
Glnzberg and other Jewish notables.
He said:
our fatherand Is passing through
difficult epoch. The moment has come
when you my brothers, must show the
whole world that you are not unworthy
sons of your country and that although
standing apart before the altar Of rel-
gion you are united with other citizens
before the altar of patriotism and are
ready with all the cars faithful lieges
to sacrifice yourselves for the father
land. Remember that Russia Ia strong,
not only In arms, but In Gods bless
ings."
After the service the congregation
sang the national hymn. The czarina,
who continues to take great personal
interest In the work OF providing for
the sick and wounded OF the war, pre-
sided today at a special meeting of the
ladies' patriotic society which was
attended by several grand duchesses
and others of the highest ladies In the
land, and presided at a service held at
the Winter palace az which the girls
OF the imperial schools acted as chorls-
tiers.
During q discussion In regard TO util-
izlng the services unsparngy offered
by the girhood and womanhood Of Rus
