dent Zionist and the Chief Magis-
trate of the republic has said that he
is good American.

AN APPEAL FOR THE
RELIEF FUND.
By Meyer M. Isaacs.

President Wilson at the instance
of the u S. Senate proclaimed
Thursday, Jan. 18th, 1916 as Jewish
Relief Day.
Perhaps few of us realize what
this proclamation really meant
When in the sixteenth century a
small number of immigrants of
Jewish faith wanted to settle in
what is now New York, Gov. Van
Stuyvesant would only permit them
to enter on condition that they take
care Of their own poor. From that
time on and up to the time Of this
proclamation Jewish charity has
been taken care of by Jews.
Many of our brethren in the war
ridden zones once perhaps as pros
porous as the best amongst us, are
now on level with the lowest of
paupers. Food, clothes, and shelter
are needed by two or more million
Jews The Central Relief Committee
in New York felt that this country
should at least raise five or more
millions of dollars for relief of these
perhaps forsaken people and with
that end in view called the at
tention Of the senate to these condi-
tons, who in turn brought it to the
President. hence the proclamation.
1t was hoped that all cities, especial
ly where Jews live, would take adj
vantage of Relief Day, and how we'll

New York. S250.OO0, San Francisco

Minneapolis has not done it's
share. To date the collection per-
haps totals nine thousands dollars
and we have city of close to four
hundred thousand, and Jewish pop
ulation of about eighteen thousand
"a mere pittance indeed.
Have you, my readers. done your
duty? Perhaps you have already
contributed. Can't you do more?
Even should the five million be
raised, how little it will mean when
YOU consider that over two million

AMBASSADOR MORGENTHAU
PRAISED.
U. S. Ambassador Praised in Com
mons for Aid to Allies Subjects
on Gallipoli Peninsula.

In reply to question in the Eng
fish House of Commons on Mon
dav. Lord Robert Cecil Parliament
tarv Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, confirmed the assertion that
carly in 1915 the Turkish military
authorities had sent to Gallipoli fifty
British and French non-combatants
for the purpose of exposing them to
the fire Of the Allies and that the
British Foreign Secretary had no
tilted Turkey that Enver Pasha and
the Ottoman authorities would be
held personally responsible for the
lives of these persons, and that, as a
consequence, the latter had been re-
leased
The Parliamentary Under Secre-
tary gratefully acknowledged in this
connection the services which had
been rendered by the American EN-
bassy at Constantinople, saying:
"Any explanation Of the release
of those British subjects would be
incomplete which did not take into
account the efforts of the United
States Ambassador, Mr.. Morgen-
THAI, and his staff for the protection
of those committed to his charge"

SENATE EFRAMESBILL
To SUIT JAPANESE
OvercOmes Objection Of
Orientals to Exclusion
by Latitude Evasion.

NIASHlNGTON. May l6.--To meet
w Japan's objection TO having the
so-called gentleman's agreement for
the restriction of immigration enact
ed into law in the pending immigra-
ton bill, the senate immigration
committee today agreed upon an
amendment which removes the Jap
anese entirely from the bill. but ac-
complishes Asiatic exclusion other
wise by specification of latitude
and longitude which will take in
China, Siberia, India and the is
lands of the Malay archipelago. with
the exception of the Philippines. 1t
leaves Immigration from Japan to be
governed entirely bv the Root Taxa
hira agreement. The change is un-
derstood to be satisfactory to the
state department.
Representations were made that
the enactment into law of an agree
ment which Japan had engaged upon
honor to fulfill was repugnant to the
japanese government. as was the clas-
sfication of Japanese with Hindus
and others to be excluded.

continued throughout the day, but
there were few additions To the ranks
OF the strikers. None Of the me-
chanics have left the company and
have no grievance.

The walkout is said to have been
brought on when the company prom

NAsHINGToN. May 1s'-An op-

tives OF the Washington government

suit of the conference at El Paso be-
tween Generals Scott. Funston ana

the cabinet. and tension along the in
ternational line has greatly relaxed.
General Scott believes that the
whole situation is less acute than II
has been at any time since the raid

General Obregon. it is learned. en-
tered the conference with much ap-
prehension as to the real purpose OF
General Pershing's swift march deep
into Mexico in pursuit of villa ana
his raiders. In Mexican eyes, he said.
il seemed as though great force
could not be moving merely IN pur-
suit of one bandit chieftain and his
handful of followers. Undoubtedly
Obregon reflected fears felt in Mexico
City that the expedition was in reali-
ty a step. toward intervention by the
United States.
Mission Friendly
The American cCnferees were ahie
to convince the Mexican war minis
ter. and through him General Car
rama. that President Wilson's an
nodncement of the purpose of the ex-
petition told the whole story; that It's
mission was only as described. to dis
perse or capture the bandits and re
turn across the line. The striking
accomplishment of Generals Scott and
Funston lay In the fact that they
succeeded in doing this without
making any pledges as to when Amer
lean troops would be recalled
The change in General Obregon's 5
views was clearly indicated by prom
ises he made at the conclusion OF the
conference. promises approved by
General CarranZa and which he is
now carrying out with prompttude
