American Jews, with headquarters IN

common political rights of all citizens
in all countries. Christians Of fame IN
America and in England have endorsed
the movement A campaign Of educa-
ton is now under way, to be propagated
by conventions held in all principal cit

to start with, and another 800, 900 is

in sympathy.
A deputation Of foremost American
Jews has been formed. and is ready 20
proceed to Europe the moment any
signs Of peace negotiations show them
selves The theory is that by present
ing influence at the right time and
place, following the great upheaval Of
the war, equal political rights can be
secured for Jews. and in Poland and
other countries where the situation
promises to be intolerable, removal Of
Jews to other countries may be permit
