DR.. Leopold Glushak. in addressing
former Russian Hebrews, said he made
no distinction between Russian, Ger
man or any other Hebrews. that they
all stood as members of one race. In
any country where the Hebrews have
been living since their exile, he said,
they have formed a most patriotic
section in that country. We have
shown by concrete example our devo-
ton to the institutions of that country.
Our men have participated in the
life of the country from the humblest

patriotism on the part Of the Hebrew

Justice Gould's Address.
Justice Gould said. in part:
THE significant event which we are
here to commemorate today 10 not the
fact that 14o years ago the Declare
