Former Governor Charles Miller
Floyd of New Hampshire, one of the
Republican leaders of that state, was
a recent visitor at the capitol where
he was a dinner guest of the members
of Congress from shat state. In
speaking of the political outlook in his
state he said New Hampshire, as
well as the rest Of the New England
States, has returned to the party Of
progress and prosperity. The voters
there have had enough of closed and
cur.ailed mills and factories. The fac
tons in the Republican party are once
more united and working in harmony
and the third party movement has
practically disappeared as such. With
this condition. prevailing and the les
son that has been taught he people by
the Democratic plumbers in its tariff
and business policy, New England can
be counted on to return to normal con
ditions, which means large and en-
phatic Republican majorities."

Sufferings of Hebrews in Rus
STA Are Told about in a
Statement.

The Clarksburg committee for
Jewish relief day has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
So much has been written OF the
sufferings of the Jewish people in the
war zone of eastern Europe that
every American must be fully aware
of the terrible conditions existing
there. While all the inhabitants Of
the war zone are being subjected to
all the terrible hardships of warfare
the Jewish population suffers the
added atrocities Of all the brutal and
systematic persecution OF Russian
bureaucracy.
Many privileges. temporarily
granted for selfish reasons by the
Russian government, at the begin
ming Of the war have been withdrawn
following the false accusations OF
disloyalty; other privileges still in
force are subject to the interpreta-
tion and approval Of corrupt Russian
officials who manage to see that the
Jews are denied practically all hui
man rights. After sixteen months
of the present war the world is f.
nally convinced that the corrupt
Russian bureaucracy is still supreme
and does not intend to change its ira
ditional oppressive policy OF max
ing the Jews the scapegoat Of their
defeats and blunders Of this war.
The Jews cannot, therefore, look
TO the Russian government for aid IN
their present affection, in spite OF the
fact that they are serving their gov.
eminent with unique loyalty and self
sacrifice. :,
That this is the horrible state OF
affairs of Russian Jewry is sadly at
tested by the following authentic IN
vestgations:
The following facts are vouched

Q. In Poland alone there are
nearly three hundred towns that have
suffered materially from the war.
10. Over three million 'townspeo-
pie are destitute.
II. The ,destitution is so wide
spread that no one province can be
selected as typical Of the want. Es-
pecially miserable are the residents
OF the provinces Of Kovno and Grod-
no, and the privonces OF Bessarabia,
Podolis and Volynia.
The above facts show that what
ever aid comes to the Jews in Rus
sia must come through the generos-
ity Of the outside world. Already
have Jew and Gentle begun to re-
spond to their lamentable misery. It
la for this reason that President VIII
son has set aside at the suggestion
Of the Senate, January 81. 1916, as
a special day on which all Americans,
regardless Of creed, may contribute
to this humane cause.
The Central Relief Committee Of
New York, hopes to raise five mil
ion dollars on or before January 81.
To date about a million and a half
has been raised through the gener-
osity Of the Jews and Gentiles Of the
United States.
The Clarksburg committee wishes
to make an earnest appeal to all cit
liens Of Clarksburg to contribute
their generous share In response to
a special letter which VIII soon be
sent to their homes.

COMMITTEE OF JEWISH
RELIEF MAKES APPEAL

for by the Jewish Colonization Asso-
citation of Petrograd; the Hilfsverefn
der Deutschen Juden Of Berlin; the
Israelitische Alianz zu Wien Of
Vienna; and the organizations all on
the ground and in position to get
first hand and accurate information:
/. sNearly three quarters Of a
million men, women and children Of
our faith are homeless.
2. The expulsions started last
May were systematically followed up
with DEGREES covering very much
wider territory.
8. The notices to the Jewish res
idents to leave their homes varies
from three to twenty-four hours.
4. In addition to the physical and
mental agony caused by these expul-
sions, a far more serious result was
the breaking up of \ thousands Of
families, members Of which were lost
on the way.
30. Old men dropped on the road
from exhaustion. Women in travail
died. Children took Ill.
6. The congestion Of the refugees
in unsanitary charters in the Jewish
cities resulted in the outbreak of in
fictitious and contagious disease. so
that the infant mortality in cities like
LODI and Warsaw was alarming.
Z. In May Of this year and after
the first explosions had been put into
effect, the following number Of ref
ugees were reported by the Jewish
Colonization Association: Warsaw.
$4,000 people; Vienna, 10000;
Kielce, 1900; Konsk, 1000; Minsk.
1000; Prassnysh, 1900; Radon, o.
600; Gussiatin, 1900; shaki (Suyal-
KID 1900; Lomsha, 5000, Khmel-
mix, Province Kielce. 1900.
Since that time these numbers
have increased almost ten fold. No
accurate figures can be given of the
number Of refugees because hun
dreds Of thousands are eating up
their little savings, and have not reg
istered at any relief agency. These
are rapidly reaching the end Of their
resources, and will soon have to fall
upon philanthropy.

Russian Pale is lying waste. The

too late.
Belgium was a nation. 1t had a
king, queen, little royal children.
When war crushed out the nations

Imagination Of the American people"
Poland is merely the name Of a
nation that has passed-the tragic
memory Of state. To Americans II
was only region trampled by armies.
It's fate had no appeal.
Belgium, as a nation. was repre-
scented In the United States by an am
bassador, consuls, and commercial
agents. Poland had no one to repre-
sent It. The American people know
Belgium almost as well as. they know
the remote parts of their own coun-
try. Poland is too far away.
Prey Of Armies.
There is now no meat in Poland.
The cattle, sheep, swine have gone
to the commisaries Of the armies. The
people live on carrot soup. Thousands
walk for miles in the winter cold with
their feet wrapped in rags to beg
a pannikin of this carrot soup. Rye
-four, normally SO a sack, Is now $27.
Peas, which once sold at $3.50 a bag
are held at SO. There is hardly a
pound Of lard or a side of bacon in
all Poland.
Premier Asquith's answer to the
appeal of Chicago Poles is not un-
favorable. l see In 1t a certain hope.
He advises that a central relief or
ganization be established in Poland to
see to distributions. This is a fine
idea.

sad and bitter hour, his afflicted hour,

the Jew.
But beyond all that, and higher per-
haps than all that, II Is humanity's
debt. Some one has said that human

is all one.
! recall that Emerson, In his essay,

says something like this: 1.-THE gods
at the outset divided man into men
that they might be helpful to himself,
as the hand is divided into fingers to
better to serve Its end" Human life
today Is but one great hand stretched
out over the earth, and the different

races Of men are the finger parts, and
II one race or finger on this human
hand is wounded and crippled and
hurt, the whole human race is crippled,
wounded. hurt and cannot do its work
and cannot be itself.
Humanity's Debt
Therefore, Il say 1t Is humanity's
debt to the Jew and appeal to that
humanity Of the American people,
which Is the boast the legitimate boast,
the only worth while boast and glory
OF the American people, which never
fails to respond to any human needs,
no matter how remote. as 1t Is re-

American humanity, to pay promptly,
