THE JEWS GENEROUS PURSE.

" interesting volume on "The
American Jew and the War;" by
authors not of Jewish blood, pre-
sents certain rather startling facts
that constitute a fine tribute to the
race. From the hour the Germans
crossed over into Belgium and
drove the crouching peasants
beneath the shadow of the sword
we have been importuned with
persistency and passionate appeal
to subscribe to the relief fund. The
same is true of Serbia. The wife
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
but recently toured the country
in an effort to secure money for
the relief of her countrymen. There
has been but little effort made to
raise money for the suffering Jews
of the war zone-than whom none
have suffered more. It appears in
the little volume referred to that
they have been handsomely cared
for by the American Jews and with
little ostentation or publicity. The
amount of money sent by American
Jews to their co-religionists in the
warning countries amounts to
about as much as the whole of
America has contributed to the re-
lief Of Belgium, all the propaganda,
bazaars, concerts, fairs and per-
sonal appeals regardless. To Rus

ania $2,414,634, to Austria-Hun-
gary ,578 600, to Palestine $685.
2sS, and proportionate amounts to
Greece, Turkey, Servia, Smyrna,
Egypt, Rumania, Bulgaria, Tunis,
Algiers, Morocco, and to the refu-
gees from Turkey in Spain-in
all more than 100000.
And now for the most significant
and inspiring feature of it all. Hav-
ing met their obligations to the CO.
religionists throughout the world,
now that America is involved in
the strife the record shows that
they are responding to the call of
the republic for financial aid with
quite as much alacrity. 1t is their
way. They have always been
loyal to the land of their adoption
especially to America, where
they have been protected at
all times by the law. To the con
clusion of the Gentle authors of
the volume the true observer can
subscribe:
"This is not the Jew conjured
up in fiction and the drama as
greedy, grasping, avaricious, un-
scrupulous. This is the real Jew,
the Jew who adheres to an ancient
faith hit who 1ivos in Tho nreSent.
