IIeln is most urgent. The condition of the
Jews in Russia is horrible.
At meeting held last night at the Educa,-
tional Alliance, the newly formed Jewish
Defence Association, made up Of delegates
from leading Jewish societies in New York,
voted that not all the money collected
for the Jewish victims of the Russian mas
sacres should be used for their relief.
1t was decided that part OF lle money
collected should be forwarded to Russia
for the purposes of the self-defence of the
Jews there As the uptown committee
headed by Jacob II. Schf and others
is opposed to arming the Russian Jews
and helping them toward self-dcfence,
it is expected that there will now be divi-
sion between the uptown and the down
town organizations.

ties in the country in regard to the anti
Jewish outrages in Russia, which said;
