FIRST OF SALONIKI REFUGEES
ARRIVE

One Hundred and twenty Jewish i'm
migrants, refugees from Saloniki, arrived
at New York Saturday, September 23rd,
by SIS. "San Guillome Messina"
These immigrants report that they are
the forerunners of countless others, who
finding conditions intolerable in Greece,
are seeking new home here. They tell
fering, equal to that of those unfortunates
who reached the United States by way of
Siberia and Japan.
Saloniki, they report, is occupied by
100000 allied troops, and consequently
the city is bombarded nightly by German
zeppelins and airships. The inhabitants
are terrOr-stricken and most anxious to
flee the country
The Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society of America which maintains
an Oriental Bureau, has received these
wanderers, and they are now being cared
for at the Society's Home, 229 East Broad
way The Society makes every effort to
find them employment, and make them
self-supporting.
Judge Leon Sanders, the President of
the Society, states that the Secretary of
Labor at Washington, in answer to a
memorandum on the danger of deporta-
ton at this time has recently issued an
order that no immigrants coming from
Saloniki or Kavala, the two Greek ports
now occupied by the allies, shall be de-

In the morning, after breakfast, we
might take hike through the woods,

escorted by the matron, who knows where
to show them the wild flowers with all

happiness; they are sons and daughters
of Mother Nature, and they are happy.
They forget for while the smoke from
the trains and factories; there is no dust
here, and there are no unclean narrow
streets in which they must play, if they
desire to play at all. AS the boys have
their game of baseball, and the girls
look on with keen understanding, with
their smiles and their laughter, they are
pictures of health and happiness.
Quite often the camp is visited by some
of the young ladies, daughters of mem
bers of the Relief Society," who teach the
girls how to sew and how to do other
useful things. And yes,-I almost for
got-they all take their daily swim in
the lake, mothers, boys and girls, alike.
Sometimes they know how, sometimes
they are taught by visitors to the camp.
But they all swim, in some sort of swim

all varieties. Fresh milk, eggs and but
ter is there in abundance. Between meals,
at ten o'clock in the morning and at four
in the afternoon, at the sound of the bell,
you can see the children scampering to-
ward the dining hall, where they get
their cup of milk and crackers. Coming
from strict Orthodox homes, for the most
part, they need not fear to eat, for all
food that is served here is strictly Kosher.
1t may be said, to the credit Of those
in charge, that this was the first and
only camp in the country, until about
the last year, to have Kosher food.
The work at the camp is in the con-
troll of Matron, besides whom there is
one cook and one house girl employed
under salary. In many cases, the moth
ers and children, who are apreciative
are anxious to, and do, assist with the
work about the place. The management
of the place has been largely in the hands
of Mrs. B. l.. Goodkind, chairman, and
Mrs. Jacob Dittenhofer, vicechairman.
Much praise is due to Miss Helen Grod
