.LEMS N NEW YORK-

According Ia figures furnished 10y Statisticians,
more than six hundred thousand inhabitants Of
New York began a new year last week. These
were Jews most OF whom came to this country
from Russia and AuStria-IIungary. driven thence
by persecution. The immigration of Jews TO this
country began early Ia the last century. but they
came in small numbers In 1918 there We're
only about three thOuSand IN The country. and
in lS4o the number had increased 10 about tif-
teen thousand. The revolutionary movements
OF lS41 and lS4S stimulated emigration in Ger
many and Austria 10 such I'm extent that in
lS+9 the Jewish population of the United States
had grown to about fifty thousand souls the
great majority Germans who by industry and
thrift soon won for themselves IA place in the
mercantile world ana crowded their Spanish

them Ia the wall. The Germans and their chill

The systematic persecution of the Jews I'm

numbers Of them became dependent on the
Jewish communities where they settled. Their
number has grown steadily until to-day there
are about million five hundred thousand
Jews in the United States of whom more than
one-thrd are in New York. Although the great
body of Russians Is composed largely of ignO-
rant people, they have one quality I'm common
with the earliest Jewish settlers in this COun-
try who were men and women OF refinement
and education; they adhere 10 the old usages Of
their people, and for that reason do not assmi-

they will be greater than the big men of to-

PATRICE'S APPEAL.
