CITY DIVIDED INTO DISTRICTS

Active and systematic work is now In
progress in Providence for the raising
OF funds for the relief OF the victims OF
the Jewish massacres in Russia. Not only
the Jews OF the city. but many people OF
other %nationalities are coming forward
with contributions
For the purpose OF n systematic can
vass among the Jews Of the city. Provi-
dence has been split up into 25 districts
and two collectors appointed for each die
trict. These will visit every Jewish home
and make a personal appeal for money
with which 10 relieve the suffering in
Russia.
The following appeal has been issued by
the United Jewish relief committee,
which represents every Jewish organiza-
tion In Providence:
To the Jews OF Providence:
Once again on the threshold OF dawn.
on the eve of enlightenment, at the turn
stfle OF a new era and the approach OF
civilization. has Israel been brought 10
the altar OF sacrifice. History has ter
ribly repeated itself. The world stands
aghast at the awful carnage perpetrated.
Not since the destruction OF the Temple
has such a calamity visited our martyred
people.
Thos OF us who recall the massacres OF
1882 In dark. bloody Russia. those OF us
who were I'm the midst OF the butcheries
OF Elisavetgrad. Cherson. Kishineff. Jito-
per. Nicolayeff ard many other places
require no description OF our outraged
mothers and sisters. our tortured fathers
and brothers. the destruction OF innocent
babes and all the horrors OF that fearful
holocaust.
Up TO this time IL cities and towns. from
RSstov-on-the-Don to Odessa on the
Black sea. have cabled their appeals for
immediate assistance. Our duty is plain.
No philosophy. no theory. no idealism. no
recommendations should be advanced for
the moment. "Aid to the injured" is and
must be our stUEau; therefore, ret us tay
aside all sect and schism. and as one
family in misfortune respond TO the APP
peal az literally as we can. with the full
ness OF heart 10 prompt us which has
from time i%mmemorial characterized our
people towards those whose needs are
great in time OF peril.
IL is estimated that 10000 have been
slain I'm the IL states comprising the pale.
100. 20 injured. and countless thousands
directly or Indirectly affected. Let us.
who are enjoying the protection OF this
God-given haven. forget not our duty.
Shrouds for the dead. bandages for the
wounded. bread for the hungry, water for
the thirsty. clothes for the naked and
shelter for the homeless must be provided
at once. A Russian winter is advanc-
ing.
The United ewlsh relief committee APP
peais to everyone. Districts have been
assigned and jealous workers are can
va sing every ward. Respond to them
with the assurance that every mite you
give will be c~onscientiously directed In
the channels intended II. perchance, the
collectors do not meet you I'm your homes
or places OF business. send your SUBJ
scriptions voluntarily by mail or other
wise.
