is an historic crisis, a turning point
in the civilization of mankind. And in
such time you must give as much as
you can to alleviate the suffering OF
your people.
Pledges Pour In.
The suffering of the Belgians, the
Serbs, the Turks, the English are perhaps
as bad as the Jews. All Europe Is
devastated with the effects of war. Theil
blood Is as red as ours. But have moi
all of these nations something to look
forward to? Have they not the result
Of this great war before them? But
these poor Jews, without country, hun
dreds Of them homeless, roaming-wha,
Is to become of them?"
Here DR.. Magnes began his appeal for
funds, and the audience, hitherto mo-
tionless by the graphic descriptions OF
horror. began to brush aside tears For
nearly an hour the pledges poured in,
with the tireless DR.. Magnes keeping up
his appeal.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, head of the
American Red Cross, preceded DR..
Magnes, pledging the support of that or
ganization to the Jews of America in
raising a fund for their war-stricken
people.
Senator James MARITIME, of New Jersey
declared that it was the duty, not only
of American Jews. but OF the entire citi,
zenshLp of this country to answer the
appeal. The Jews of this country have
been more than liberal in giving to the
Red Cross" said Senator MARITIME. They
have given freely to the cause of hu-
manity throughout this land. Do they
not, then, deserve the best from America
and better from Russia?'
Wflxou Pleads for Homeless
Senator Joseph Robertson, of Arkansas
Rev. DR.. Abram Simon, pastor of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation, and
Simon Wolf also spoke DR.. Simon read

just one ladybug in speckled red gown
