BURTON HOLMES GIVES
TALK OF EXPOSITION
Second Trayelogue of Series Presented
at New National Theater Before
Large Audience.

The second trsvelogue OF the Burton
Holmes series was given yesterday aft
ernoon before a large audience at the
New National Theater. when the cele-
brated lecturers subject was The Pan
ama-Pacihc Exposition"
II seemed 10 be the general impression
on account of the wealth OF artistic
beauty and of the remarkable fidelity
with which Mr. Holmes has recorded in
wonderful colored slides the exhibits OF
the peoples of the whole world at thit
great exposition, that this presentation Is
destined to take its place alongside OF
other notable talks of the traveloguer
which are recognized classics.
1t Is true the exposition has been
brought TO this city many times before
for the prospective study and imagina-
tion OF those who had intended to visit
California in the earlier days, and later
for the retrospective delight Of those who
did make the journey. but Mr. Holmes
has surrounded his unique and personal
story of the exposition with compelling
and fascinating interest that is peculiarly
his own.

Simon Wolf Appeals
For Jewish War Fund

For the nrst time in the his-
tory OF the Jews OF the United
States, general appeal has been
made in aid of suffering, Jews
suffering. not from natural but
unnatural causes. A million of
human beings are In dire distress
and want. and all presidents
have been broken In the Senate
of the United States by having
passed resolution calling upon
the President of the United
States to issue a proclamation to
aid these sufferers. The Presi-
dent has fixed Thursday. Janu-
ary "a.
And in addition to this ringing
patriotic proclamation. add my
humble voice In asking my fell
low-citizens OF Washington, In
whose midst I have lived for
rifty-four years. and whose lib
erality and good will / appreci-
ate, to contribute cheerfully to
this fund. whose object is to
humanize and restore in meas
ure. the fallen fortunes of the
victims of oppression and war.
This appeal is not only made to
my own co-religionists. but to all
men and women whose hearts
beat for the uplift and better
ment and righteousness of. all
mankind. 1t must be conceded
that the Jew as a citizen is lib
eral and ever ready to contribute
in all directions. where his help
can be of benefit, and 1t has been
his pride not to seek outside aid
or support, but this is an ex-
traordinary occasion. and can
only be met by united effort.
Am l appealing In vain?
