Thursday will be Jewish Relief day
throughout Texas by proclamation of
Gov. J. E. Ferguson. Mayor Tom Lea
carrying out the proclamation of the

Jewish sufferers in the European war
who have been the victims OF success
sive campaigns and who have lost their
homes, their property and their men

as that of the Belgians which the

people who have had no part in the
war but to suffer. We, of the United
States. who know only of the horrors
Of the homeless through the moving
pictures and the illustrated stories we
read. cannot imagine the suffering that
the war and winter has brought to the
vast numbers of people in Poland and
Galicia-
Big Hearted FL PasO.
FL PasoanS are always big hearted,
as one Of the convention speakers said
Monday night at the banquet Here is
a chance for the city TO prove that this
great compliment to a city Is not mis-
placed Let US give to the cause of
stricken Poland, Galicia and the other
districts where the Jewish people have
suffered in silence
This should not be a sectarian
movement and as I understand the
proclamations of the president and
governor it is not made one We all
give TO the Belgians when they were
hungry. The result was an everlasting
gratitude which is the finest thing that
has come out Of the war. Let US estab-
fish another monument, make another
conquest of peace by feeding the starry
ing and housing The homeless in these
stricken districts"
